"I didn't know who else to go to." The pain that laced his voice made Nightmare's heartache. He saw the blood and the fear only grew in his body. Yet he held his composure.

"Please Nightmare." Nightmare said nothing he thought for a moment. He sighs letting Cross and the dream team in. He closes the door once they are inside.

Killer walked up behind Nightmare, he could feel Killer's anger as the Sans stared at Cross.

"Take him down to the medical bay, I assume you still remember the way." Cross gave a curt nod and left.

Nightmare turned towards Killer, behind him in the doorway Horror, Dust, and Error could be seen watching. Horror looked to be in tears, Dust was rubbing his back.

"Killer." The Sans looked at him but said nothing, his face said enough.

"Just keep an eye on them, do not engage unless they do."

"Yes, boss." Nightmare walked close to Killer and leaned next to his skull.

"Are you alright?" Both knew that he couldn't lie his way out of his one, Nightmare could sense his mood.

"I'm okay enough, just try to make it quick. I don't want him here."

"I don't either, we'll discuss this together later." Nightmare placed a gentle kiss on Killer's forehead.

He began to make his journey to the medical bay where Cross and Dream were.

The closer he got to the medical bay the stronger he could feel Cross's fear. He couldn't feel Dream's annoying positivity, it was concerning, to say the least.

Nightmare pushes open the door only to find Dream laying in the medical bed and Cross crying over him. Cross was always sensitive.

The soldier immediately forced his sobs to stop once he noticed Nightmare.

"I-" Nightmare held up his hand, stopping him from speaking.

"Did he do this to himself?" Cross nodded. Nightmare walked over and glazed down upon his dying brother. Nightmare gently lifted his right arm and looked at it.

"We were too weak to.. to heal him- but I knew you could and I-" Cross cut himself off with a sob, and he covered his mouth. He started to hiccup and breathe heavily. It pained Nightmare.

"Cross." The Sans looked up with fear-stricken eyes.

"Relax and breathe, panicking will not help him." Cross nodded and took a few deep breaths before finally calming back down.

"Sorry I-"
"There's no need to apologize." Nightmare's hand hovered over Dream's wound. He began to slowly heal it.

It grew quiet while Nightmare worked. Though Nightmare could feel Cross sitting with his guilt. Before Nightmare could even ask Cross why he was guilty, he spoke up.

"I'm sorry." Nightmare understood why. He swallowed his anger.
"Okay."

"I know I hurt you guys, and I will never be able to forgive myself for it. I just wanted you to understand that I still care for every one of you, and I am so sorry for causing you pain." A single teal tear leaked out of Nightmare's eye.

He couldn't find his voice, perhaps he had spent so much time ignoring this feeling that he never really got over Cross leaving.

"You know, he left a note. So he intended to..." Cross cleared his throat before continuing.

"He wanted the fighting to stop. He doesn't want to fight you anymore. He doesn't want to hurt you. He wanted us to work together."

It may never have seemed like it but Nightmare truly cared about Dream. He cared so much about his team and Cross. He cared about them all.

He finished with Dream's arm and went to the next.

"I suppose... we could try." Cross looked up with a small smile.

"However the damage has already been done, so a lot of healing will need to be done."
Cross nodded, and he stopped smiling.
"I understand."

Nightmares finally finished with healing his brother. He sighs out of relief.

"Will he be okay?"

"Most likely yes, but it's unknown. He was very hurt." Cross nodded grimly.

"I need to go check on the others... if.. if Dream wakes up let me know. I would like to have a discussion with him."

Cross nodded. "Of course."

Nightmare nodded and opened the door.
"Hey, Nightmare?" He turned to look at Cross.
"Yes?"

"...Thank you, I hope I can make everything up to you. To all of you."

"Me too." Nightmare said while leaving.
