Two Days later
Y/N's POV

"Good morning, Y/N. It's time." an unfamiliar voice tears me awake.
I flinch, open my eyes and need a moment to recognize my surroundings.

I'm still in the hospital. Damn.

Groaning softly, I sit up a little, trying not to move my right arm or my knee incorrectly.

Both hurt like hell if I make a wrong move.

I adjust myself a little so that I can sit upright and then blink at the strange woman standing next to my bed.
She has her arms crossed in front of her chest and is looking down at me in a judgmental and almost disparaging manner.
She is tall and stocky, wearing a knee-length skirt and a high-necked blouse and her dirty gray hair is tied in a strict bun.
Her eyes are frightening and her face looks as if she hasn't smiled in years.

"Who are you?" I ask in a scratchy voice, sounding more intimidated than I would like.

I I look a little uncertainly at Steve, who is standing a little helplessly behind the woman and gives me an apologetic look.
The doctor standing next to him looks at me just as coolly as the colorless woman.

JJ, who was sleeping on the chair next to me, slowly stirs, but when she opens her eyes and sees the woman, a jolt goes through her body.
Alarmed, she sits up and props herself next to me on the edge of the bed, without taking her eyes off the woman.
"What do you want here?" she asks in a cool voice and takes my hand protectively.
I look back and forth between her and the woman, confused as the two stare bitterly at each other.

What's going on here?

"I could ask you the same thing. Don't you have anything better to do?" the woman snaps back and then looks back at me.
"Please get ready, Y/N. We're leaving today." She says, as if she's already mentioned it several times and doesn't intend to repeat herself again.

"What? Who are you? What do You want?"
I ask, confused, backing away a little, intimidated by her presence.

The woman rolls her eyes, glares at JJ and me, then turns to the doctor and exchanges a quick look with him before focusing on me again and squeezing her answer out between her
teeth.

"I'm your aunt, silly. Don't act dumber than you are. You know we Y/L/N's don't like that."

I flinch when she mentions the last name.

My aunt?

I don't have an aunt?

We Y/L/N's?

That's what my mother always said.

"I...I don't have an aunt." I say quietly and feel the fear creeping up inside me.
I squeeze JJ's hand tighter and JJ wraps her free arm around my shoulder and gently pulls me towards her.

"You shouldn't always mumble like that, child. No one will understand you like that."
She says in a cool voice, without even responding to my statement or answering my other questions.
Instead, she turns to the doctor and, with a suddenly really friendly voice, asks: "Do I have to sign anything else or have we already sorted that out?"

I look up at JJ and her expression makes me even more afraid.
As JJ hugs me tighter, I see a deep concern in her face that I have never seen before.
She watches the exchange between the doctor and the woman with her eyebrows furrowed and her lips pressed together in a thin line.
"Just a minute, now that Y/N is awake, she can have a say." JJ suddenly interjects and I hear a slight tremor in her otherwise firm voice.
