Number Zero; The Witch - Diego Hargreeves x OC *ON HOLD*

Number 19

"Ahh!" I gasped awoke from my deep slumber, gasping for air, before hissing in pain. Clutching my hand onto my stomach, I watched blurry images rush to my side, gently laying me down onto the bed. Frowning in confusion to those images and the shooting electric pain in my stomach, my vision slowly came clear.

I was surrounded by my, somewhat of a dysfunctional family. And the white bright lights and the smell made it obvious I was in hospital.

"Luther, call Diego" Allison instructed the larger member of the family.

"Err...I don't own a mobile device...and I have no idea what Diego's number is" Luther pointed out.

"He needs to be here" Allison added.

I looked around the room, only seeing Allison, Five, Vanya and Luther in the room. No Diego and of course no Klaus.

"Where is he?" I managed to speak out through my dry mouth and lips.

"Err...he had to go to the gym to tell them he wouldn't be able to do his fight last night, and he hasn't come back" Allison told me, before I looked out the window seeing bright yellow light.

"How long was I out for?" she asked her.

"Quite a while, I guess your body really wanted you to heal...or maybe your powers" Allison added.

"What are you talking about?" I asked her confused.

"Well, it appears that when you got shot, the bullet moved position, and the doctor said she had never seen it before" she added. "And things were a little...freaky as well..."

"Basically, due to your psionic telekinetic power, your powers somehow protected you, moved the bullet away from vital organs" Luther told me.

"I wasn't aware my powers were able to do that...he never said I could...though I doubt he would aim a gun at me and shoot his...shoot me" I sighed rubbing my face in frustration. "What happened to the protest?" I asked them.

"They all got arrested, but the women having the gun and shooting you will be locked away" Allison added. I sighed in relief.

"Can I have a drink please? No water...juice or something fizzy" I requested.

Five suddenly decided to portal out of the room, leaving us confused, before returning with a bottle of Dr Pepper.

"I remembered this was your favourite" he smiled softly at me.

"Still is, thank you" I told him. "Can you open it for me?" I asked. Five nodded and twisted the cap, the sound of the fizz bubbling away made me even more thirsty. After he handed the bottle to me, I sipped on my drink, and drunk and drunk, before gasping loudly, followed by an almighty burp.

"Thirsty?" Allison asked laughing.

"Damn right" I sighed to myself "I want Diego here" I mumbled, before a receptionist entered my suite.

"A Diego Hargreeves is on the phone for Lexi" she spoke. "Is someone able to take the call for you?" she asked, her pinned hair sprayed hair shining in the bright hospital light.

"Allison...can you take it for me?" I asked.

"Of course," she smiled leaving the room.

For some reason, I felt nervous about this phone call, and worried. Why wasn't Diego here? It wouldn't take 12 hours to tell your boss you couldn't fight.

Soon Allison returned into the room, something was wrong, I could tell from the look on her face. She closed the door behind her, and walked over, fiddling with her hands.
