Leo's POV:

Nat proceeded to sleep for a two whole days. Not that he was complaining, but he had genuinely thought she might have slipped into a coma. He and Dee took turns taking care of her, and Leo decided to check on that ACL (it was on her unbroken leg) convenient. It seamed to heal properly, though there was no sign of an operation, and he just took it as a win.

Donnie seamed a bit jumpy while helping with Nat, and not his normal jumpy. More like he didn't want to do something stupid to- Oh good GOD! Leo thought. Dose he have a CRUSH on her? He thought back over the past couple of days, the passing, the muttering, the excessive scratching of his arms. Not enough evidence, but enough to look into. Leo thought a grin forming on his face. This is going to be so much fun!

Donnie's POV:

Why in the world was he so jumpy? He had helped Leo with things like this before, but every time he was even remotely close to Nat he felt like he was going to hurt her. What is wrong with me?

"...dee? Dee!" Leo called from across the room.

"Hum, sorry, did you need something?" Donnie said, coming out of his thoughts.

"I'm gonna go ask Mikey to make some lunch for us, and some soup for Nat, incase she wakes up." Leo said from the entrance, "want anything in particular?"

"Oh," Donnie said, when was the last time I ate? "No, whatever Mikey makes is fine."

"Ok." Leo said heading out.

Donnie noticed he was scratching his arm. Ugggg stop! Why am I so damn nervous. He sat down in the chair next to Nats bed to wait, looking over his social feeds, nothing terribly intriguing but it was something to do.

A few moments passed before Nat started to stir. She blinked a few times and looked around. Her eyes landed on Donnie, "how long have you been there?" She asked with a tired grin.

"You mean now or over the past two days?" Donnie replied.

"Wh-TWO DAYS?!?!" She said trying to sit up, and failing.

Donnie walked over and put a hand on her shoulder, "Can you just stay down please? Leo went to grab some lunch, I'm pretty sure he is getting you some soup, ya hungry?"

"Honestly, yeah." She said leaning back against the pillow, in a half sitting half laying down position. "Anything I should know about?"

"We'll wait for the others and then get you up to speed."

"Sound's good."

Nat's POV

Two days? She couldn't remember the last time she had just been able to sleep. Guess I needed that. She looked down at her self, she was still in the shorts and crop top Leo gave her, but there were bandages around her torso. As well as tons of stitches on her arms and legs and a cast on her right leg, plus she was covered in bruises . She could only imagine how she looked to Donnie. Wait. Why dose that matter?

"Well look who's awake!" Leo said, coming in with a tray of food. The little one, Mikey?, trailed behind him with drinks.

"Thank goodness." Mikey sighed, handing her a glass of water. "Leo said you had malnutrition so I made you some soup, it should help some."

Huh? When was the last time I had a good meal? 3... weeks? 4? She couldn't remember. So she just smiled. "Thanks."

"So there are some things we need to discuss," Leo said setting the soup on a lap tray and putting it in front of her. "Rehab, home, etc. but first thing, is there anyone we should call? Anyone who will be wondering where your are?"
