Vixen slowly awoke in a hospital bed, and reached to the right. She grabbed her father's tape recorder, and pressed play.

"Hello, Vixen," Otto's voice said on the tape.

Hearing his voice made her immediately well up. As she listened to the tape more, she wanted to cry more. So, she began screaming while tearing off the cloth that was covering her now white eye. Doing this caused doctors to rush in, and cuff her hands to the sides of the bed before putting her under.

When she awoke, her eyes slowly fluttered open. She turned her head to the left to see Harry standing by her bed. He knelt down to her, and smiled a little.

"Good morning," he said to her.

"Harry," she whispered.

"I'm sorry about your father," he said.

"Thank you," she said.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"My... father," she said. "My father is dead."

"I know," Harry said, taking her hand in his. "But we're going to get through this together, okay?"

"O- Okay," she said, blushing lightly as he held her hand.

Harry looked at her lips for a moment, and they both leaned in. But this moment was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"I- I'll get that!" Harry said as he got up to open the door.

He opened it, and the people to come in were Peter and MJ. Vixen's smile faded when she saw Peter.

"Hi, Vixen!" MJ said as she walked into the room.

"Hey, MJ," Vixen said.

"How are you feeling?" Peter asked her.

"Fine," she replied.

"Hey, I'm sorry about Otto," he said, and she sighed.

"Thanks," she said.

"Hey, uh, can you guys give me and Vixen and moment alone?" Harry asked.

Peter and MJ left, and Vixen sighed in relief.

"I could have saved him," she said, clenching her fists in anger. "It's my fault your father died, Harry."

"What are you talking about?" he asked as he held her hand again. "It wasn't your fault, it was Spiderman's."

"I want to kill him," she said, her voice shaking slightly. "I wanna tear him apart."
