Code lyoko-The future isn't written

The truth being told

When Xi awoke he was in a hospital bed, covered in bandages with blood being pumped into him. The room was bright and he lifted his arms to block the light. He heard a voice and turned to see a curtain and two doctors standing behind it talking.

" Poor kid, fourteen years old and loses both parents in a week. What about the brother?"

" He died three hours ago. He was bleeding internally. What about the mother?"

" The mother, she was dead when we arrived at the crash. Somewhere in the crash she broke her neck. The kid only lived because he was on the right side of the car."

" I have to check on him, and... tell him as well." One of the doctors walked out from behind the curtain and saw Xi awake and said, " Oh your awake Xi. How do you feel." Xi shook his head as if saying, ' What the hell do you think.'

" Well you broke two of your right rips, and one of your left. Also your lower right arm was fractured and you suffered a concussion. You'll be in bed for a week but you'll live."

" What about my brother and mother?" he asked, hoping after what he saw and heard, he saw and heard wrong.

" I hate to tell you this, but they both died in the crash. Now if you have any questions we have a psychiatrist who will be happy to help you."

" I don't need a psychiatrist. Who's paying for my treatment?" Xi asked, figuring with his parents dead someone had payed to keep him alive.

"A man named Odd Della Robbia. We have a lawyer here who has to ask you questions about who you'll be living with after you leave Kadic." A man with a briefcase walked in and the doctor left the room. His parents lawyer.

" Good afternoon. After your parents deaths we have to know who'll have legal custody over you until your eighteen." He pulled out a few sheets of paper and continued, " It says here your parents filed your godparents as Jeremie and Aelita Belpois correct?"

" Yes," Xi answered, he knew that much.

" Now do you have any closer relatives like aunts and uncles?"

" I have an uncle who lives in Japan, but I seriously don't want to go to Japan. My mother's parents are there as well, and my father's parents are in Germany."

" Have you decided on the Belpois'?"

" I guess, give me the sheet so I can sign it." The lawyer handed Xi the sheet who looked at the writing then signed it were it said child's name.

" Alright, one second I need to have the Belpois' sign as well. Jeremie, Aelita we need you in here." A moment later the two walked in and Xi saw that they had both been crying. Two friends in a week. " He has decided to hand his custody over to you, if you wish to take him, sign here." They both signed and the lawyer stood up and said, " That's that. Good luck, and I'm very sorry." The lawyer left the room and Odd senior walked in. His usual smile was missing and replaced with a sad expression.

" Are you going to be alright," Aelita asked, looking at Xi who was laying up with his hands in his lap.

" The bones will heal," He answered keeping his down. 

" I meant emotionally." He didn't answer. Just kept his head down looking away. That answered her question.

" I'll manage." he said aloud looking up finally. " When can I get back to school?"

" When your physically able to," Jeremie said. " Until then, rest. If you need anything, we're a call away."

After a moment they began to walk out before Xi asked," Why was my father shot?" They all stopped not expecting this question so early. They all looked at him. Xi could tell they all knew the answer but wouldn't tell him. " Great, if my mother wouldn't tell me, why should I expect you to. Just go forget I asked." Jeremie wanted to tell him, but couldn't force himself to do it so walked out.
