What family means

hurt part two

Roy starred at the sleeping figure. Dick had been brought to a hospital immediately,and the results weren't in yet. All they knew so far was that Dick had lost a lot of blood. Not the most reassuring thing. A nurse walked in. "The results came in. He should be fine, but we want to keep him here just in case something happens. When he wakes up, we'll keep him for a few days, then send him home. It would be best if you keep an eye on him then. If he passes out often, or he complains about being tired in the middle of the day, bring him back, ok? We'll give him a blood transfusion. Like I said, once he wakes up, he's free to go." "Thanks." Roy smiled at her. She left and closed the door. Roy checked his watch. 3:55. Two hours since he had seen Lian. An hour and a half since he had last seen Dick awake. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. The other hero's were looking for Lian. They figured that Nightwing had hidden her in a safe-house. Only question was which one. Nightwing had them everywhere. They usually looked like tool sheds, or small houses. They were so hard to find because of it. A knock on the door shook Roy out of his thoughts. "Come in." Roy said, hoping one of the heroes had found her. Sure enough, when Jade stepped in, Lian was in her arms. "Lian," Roy almost whispered, and she was in his arms. "Daddy, when is Dicky gonna wake up?". Even at eight, Lian knew that he might not wake up for a while. "We don't know yet. They're gonna give him some blood, then they're gonna wait until he wakes up so we can take him home." "Can I sit by him?" Lian asked, keeping her tears in her eyes. Or at least, trying to. Roy put her down, and she sat in the chair by the bed. She stared at the sleeping figure. He looked peaceful, but she knew he wasn't. Lian reached to grab his hand. When she had grabbed it, she felt a tiny twitch. Maybe a small muscle spasm? Her imagination? No, another twitch. This time it was his whole hand. A groan escaped, and Dick opened his eyes. He looked around for a minute, then he saw Lian. The heart monitor sped up. "Hey, Lian." Dick croaked, his voice scratchy. Lian squealed and hugged him. Roy smiled as he saw Dick smiling at Lian. The nurse walked in, and smiled. "It always warms my heart when little kids see the patient and just look so happy." She walked up to the I.V. stand and attached a bag of blood. "Alright, Richard. We're going to give you blood, keep you overnight, then you're free to go home. If you ever feel dizzy, if you're tired or passing out for no reason, contact us." She told Dick as she hooked the blood up to his arm. She left, and the family stayed until Eight. "I'm going to put Lian to bed and stay with her. You can stay if you want, Roy." Roy smirked. "Thank you for permission, your majesty." Roy said sarcastically. Jade just smiled. Roy waited until she left to ask Dick his question. "Why was Deathstroke after you?"
