"Blue, you ready?" Terry yelled from the bottom steps.

"Yeah" Blue responded quietly from next to him holding her stuffed elephant, Popcorn, close to her.

'She's learning stealth quickly' He thought.

"What's wrong babybat?" Terry asked ending down and pulling her closer to him and wrapping an arm around her waist and using the other to lift her chin up.

"I'm scared. What if he never wakes up? What if he does and he's mad at me because I couldn't save him? What-What if h-he-he..." Blue started unable to finish due to the tears falling down her face.

"Shhhh, don't worry he will be okay and won't be mad at you, he chose to let go so you wouldn't fall too." Terry said, trying to reassure her, "We don't have to go if you don't want to."

Blue waited a minute, pulling all of her thoughts together before responding, "I'll go" very silently.

Terry grabbed Blue's hand and led her outside to the car. 'What am I going to do you with you Blue? I wish you would just tell me what's going on in that head of yours!' He thought to himself on the way to the hospital.

Once inside the nurse led them down the hallway to where Blue's brother was lying on the bed. Terry took a few steps back to where he was leaning in the door frame to give his little sister some privacy.

"Mister Wayne?" The nurse called, " May I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure," he responded before turning to his little sister, " I'll be right outside if you need me Blue."

"Bine." (Okay) she responded.

"Me. Maybe," the nurse started once outside the room and out of ear shot of Blue, "Richard, he's well, he's not going to make it he will not wake up from his comatose state, he is bearly surviving only because of the life support is he still breathing, we've already had a few problems with him."

"What kind of problems?" Terry asked skeptically.

"You see Mister Wayne, he's having heart failures and we've had to restart his heart twice already this week!"

"I understand and thank for everything I will talk to my father when he gets home tonight and he will contact the hospital by tomorrow."

"Thank you Mister Wayne." She said before walking away.

Taking a deep breath Terry walked back into the room as Blue was finishing talking to her brother.

"La revedere, Dickie, îmi pare foarte rău." (Goodbye, Dickie, I'm really sorry.) she said, tears streaming down her face, before she turned to Terry.

"Ready?" He asked.

She just nodded her response and walked over to him. He bent down and wiped the tears from her face and picking her up.

"It's okay babybat,it's ok." He whispered in her ear, before leaving the hospital.
