"There's no way I will be ready to play by Worlds." Bunny sighed, sitting up in his bed. It had been a few hours since he had gotten out of surgery, and he was still loopy on pain meds. This however, was the most serious thing he had said so far. 

"Why do you say that?" Danan asked, trying to be sensitive with the situation. 

"First of all, have you seen my arm?" He almost laughed, but a slight tone of annoyance in his voice was present. "Second of all, I'm pretty sure by the time I'll even be able to move it again, Worlds will have already started." He sighed, a glint of sadness crossing through his eyes. 

"Bunny, it'll be okay, I promise." Venus said, walking over to his bed. She held his other hand. "Even if you can't participate in Worlds, you did an amazing thing to get the team there." She smiled before kissing him on the cheek. 

"You're right, you're right." He gave a gentle smile. The rest of the team was lounging around the room, leaving here and there to collect snacks for each other. 

Bunny had told them to go him before he had fallen asleep, but so far, no one had. 

"What are we going to do?" Danan turned to Jack. 

"I think we're going to have to pull in a sub, it's better to be safe than sorry, and I mean, this recovery could take a really long time, plus he will need time to practice and get back into it, and who knows how long that will take." Jack sighed. 

"You're right." Sneaky said.

The mood in the room collectively dropped to one of sorrow. They didn't want to have to replace Bunny, especially since he had done so good to help the team get to where they had, but it seemed that they had no choice. 

"I'll start looking when we get back home." Danan said. 

"Did any of you guys want to go home tonight? Michael is getting released tomorrow, so it's up to you guys if you want to stay or not, we can postpone scrims for a week until we get something figured out." 

"I'm staying." Venus said almost immediately.

"Me too." Jensen stated. Sneaky nodded and motioned that he was staying. 

"I think we're going to take off." Elizabeth said, motioning to herself, and the yawning Danan. 

"Alright, I'll take you guys back to the house." Jack said. "What about you Meteos? Impact?" 

"Oh, yeah, I'll stay." Meteos smiled.

"Me too."  

"Alright, be safe and smart you guys, and good luck." Jack said before following Elizabeth and Danan out of the room. 

They all waved before turning to each other. 

Jensen had moved over to be next to Vee, and Sneaky, Meteos, and Impact were sitting on the cushioned bench opposite of them. 

"I don't really want to know what's going to happen." Vee said, resting her head on Jensen's chest. 

"Me neither." Meteos sighed. "Maybe we shoulda never picked him up." 

No one had really brought up what had happened to cause the fall, they had all just kinda let it go. 

"How unlucky is this dude." Vee sighed. "We finally fix everything and get him back to playing good and this has to happen? Never lucky dude." 

"Holy shit you're right." Sneaky said, glancing towards the boy sleeping. 

It wasn't long before all of them had passed out on each other. As uncomfortable as it was, they managed to make it work. 

Before long, it was the next day and they were signing papers for Bunny's release. 

"Are you at least excited to go home?" Venus asked.

"Of course!" He said, kissing her cheek. "The only thing that's gonna suck, it seeing all these computers that I can't play." He pouted, motioning to his right arm. 

His arm was in a splint, and in a few days he had to get the stitches removed, and an actual cast. 

"Hey, it's okay babe, I'll play the mouse for you, you can play the keyboard." 

"Okay, okay." He smiled. 

"Venussss." Jensen moaned. 

"Whaaaaaat?" 

"That's my job, I wanted to play with Bunny's mouse." He pretended to cry. 

"Oh shush, you can play with his mouse too." She said, punching the boy in the arm. 

"Mom!" Jensen said, turning to Sneaky. 

"Ugh, what do you want Yensen." Sneaky replied. 

"Venus hit me in the arm that I was going to use to play with Bunny's mouse and now I don't think I can." He pouted more. 

"Jensen just shut up!" Meteos laughed. 

"Moooom!" Jensen turned to Sneaky again. 

"What do you want?!" Sneaky pretended to be irritated. 

"Dad is being mean to me again." 

"What do you mean again? Your dad left 10 years ago." Sneaky laughed, turning to Meteos who had lost it. 

"But mooooom! He just said he was going to get milk, where did he go?" Jensen questioned. 

"Well you see young Jensen, your father saw your face, and decided to never come back." 

"Daaaad!" Jensen wailed, turning to Meteos this time. 

"I'm not your dad."

"Why not." 

"Because I said so." Meteos stared at the boy. 

"Well fuck."
