DENVER HOSPITAL
SUNDAY, 00:12 AM

Finney cried. Bruce cried. Everyone cried until it was unbearable. Robin and Vance had been in their hospital rooms since 2 PM on Saturday and they hadn't been able to see them. The doctors had said neither of them were in good shape, but they would make it; which gave the group hope.

Apparently Vance had woken up around 11 PM but they had to run tests before anyone could see him. However, Robin still wasn't awake, and Finney was worried out of his mind.

Bruce and Finney were hugging each other on one of the couches in the main waiting room, and had been hugging each other since they got there. Donna and Penny were holding onto each other for dear life. Billy and Griffin were holding hands, and Billy could feel circulation stopping in his hand. Molly, Maria and Gwen were hugging like Finney and Bruce were on another couch.

A doctor came in the room and the group straightened up, hoping it was for them. "Bruce Yamada?" she said.

"Yeah?" Bruce gently let go of Finney and stood up. The doctor smiled sweetly at him.

"Vance Hopper is awake and his tests have run well. He would like to see you." Bruce's face immediately lit up. The doctor smiled at his reaction and said he should follow her. Bruce followed her down the narrow hallways until they made it to room 204. "Just in here. I'll be at reception if you need me."

"Thank you," he replied. The doctor nodded and smiled, opening the door for him, closing it behind as she left for reception. "Vance..." he whispered.

"Hi, my love," he smiled weakly and Bruce almost broke down. He pulled a chair over beside Vance's bed and sat down, taking his hand in his own. Bruce squeezed it gently and Vance stifled a laugh. "I'm okay, I promise. They said I'd make it out of here alive."

"You're still hurt though. That son of a bitch hurt you." a silent tear ran down Bruce's face.

"At least I don't have memory loss. They said I'm lucky to only have a concussion." Vance slowly
caressed Bruce's hand with his thumb. Bruce leaned his head down and placed a soft kiss on Vance's hand, then came up and gently pecked his lips.

"I'm happy you're okay. I'm sure everyone else will be too." he kept his face close to Vance's and spoke quietly.

"Is Robin out there? I wanna see him too." Bruce's heart broke. He barely even knew if Robin was breathing properly, never mind sitting out there with everyone else. Robin hadn't even woken up, he'd been knocked out since Pete cut his arm. "Bruce? Are you okay?"

Bruce sighed. "Robin is uh, also in hospital. Not in the waiting room."

Vance sat up in his bed. "What? Why? Is he okay?"

"His dad fucked him up pretty bad. He's not awake yet and none of us have been able to go and see him." another tear fell down Bruce's face and Vance slouched back down in his bed. He didn't say anything, and neither did Bruce but there was an understanding that the two and the group were all hurting together.

-

Finney scrolled endlessly through photos of him and Robin, or just Robin. He couldn't cry anymore, he had no more tears left. He was so happy that Vance was okay, but he wanted his boy to be okay. He wanted his boy to magically heal and be better. He wanted his boy to at least wake up.

"He'll be okay." Gwen came over and sat next to Finney, leaning her head on his shoulder and looking at the photos he was looking at. Finney didn't reply, but hugged Gwen by her side.
