As soon as I make it back to the time nest I collapse and grab ahold of the table to keep myself upright and standing. "I thought you said you were perfectly fine." Elder Kai said sarcastically. "That was probably the worst lie you have ever told, I mean look at what's left of your uniform!" He said gesturing to the beaten and cracked remains of my armor.

"Leave her alone can't you see she needs immediate medical attention!" Supreme Kai of Time snapped at the old man. "Trunks can you help her to the infirmary, there's no way she is going to be able to make it on her own." She asked as he walks into the room. Trunks doesn't say anything as we just glare at each other.

"Thanks for the offer but I think I will be fine on my own." I say as I push away from the table and try to walk before falling to my knees.

"I see...Trunks please?" She begged turning to Trunks again. He still doesn't respond as he watches me trying to get up again and failing. Eventually he sighs and walks over to me.

"Fine, but only because Supreme Kai of Time asked me, I'm not doing this for you." He snapped as He picked me up bridal style.

"I never asked for your help, I would be perfectly fine on my own." I snap back wiggling.

"Yea that's why you couldn't even stand up on your own. Now stop wiggling and let me do what I was asked to do, the sooner you knock it off the sooner I can put you down." He said tightening his grip on me so I couldn't move as he starts walking. Eventually I give up struggling and just let him carry me, at some point I had fallen asleep along the way.

"Good to see you up Xena." The nurse said. She walked over to me with a tray of food and put it on the bedside table. "You did worry us a little while you were asleep though. You were constantly thrashing around and screaming, are you ok?" She asked looking at me concerned.

"Yea I'm fine...just nightmares, I'm used to them by now." I said looking down at my hands.

"Alright, I will be in the next room over if you need anything." She said as she left the room.

'I said they were just nightmares but I never had any as bad as that before. Usually they are just flashbacks but this one was different...it felt more real than the others.' I think to myself as I eat the food the nurse left me. "I should check in with the kais and see what my next mission is." I say as I put my tank top and shorts on. I throw my leggings, gloves and boots on before putting my hair up in a ponytail then take off out of the infirmary.

"Xena, glad to see you up and about." Elder Kai said as I walked in the room.

"Oh Xena glad you are here, I needed to talk to you real quick!" Supreme Kai of Time said walking over to me.

"I came to see what my next mission was." I told her walking over to the table.

"Yes about that...we don't have a mission for you, the one we were going to give you we decided to give to someone else." She said looking at me.

"What the...Why?! I'm perfectly fine now I can take another mission!" I yelled confused.

"We know Xena calm down, You just have been pushing yourself so hard these past few months. If you aren't doing missions you are either recovering from injuries in the infirmary or your are training. So...we decided to make you take the day off, that means no missions and no training or sparing." She explained.

"A day...off?" I asked still confused.

"That's right, you need to relax every once and a while so that's what you will be doing today. You don't get a say in this, you are taking the day off end of story." Elder Kai said.
