"Promise." Ace's eyes cleared for a minute before he was back to his drug-induced haze.
(PS Zander would be happy to watch the children)
Blake wasn't sure if he was just overtired or Ace had been truly alert for a moment. He chose to believe Ace was with him. God, he could die. This is all my fault if he does. Blake's breathing grew shallow and fast as the seconds ticked onwards.
Where is zander right now?))
(Where's Zander right now??)
(Hahahahahaha @Irish we had the same thought.)
(Uhhh… he followed Dani to the hospital area then ran into everybody else so… just nearby I guess)
(I could just say he was gone real quick to get refill his adrenaline kit.)
(Okay)
Then the surgeons came in. "I'm sorry sir, but could you take a step back?" they wheeled in a cart filled with sharp, pointy things and thread and other stuff.
(i'm not good at writing doctor stuff)
(ok… So is he with us right now?)
(Sure)
Dani pinched the bridge of her nose. Why did I run.
Blake nodded, tears freely streaming down his face. He wiped them away quickly and put on a stoic expression. "Don't break your promise Ace." He whispered so only his friend could hear, before letting Ace go and stepping away. Blake had never been a religious man, but now, standing on the sidelines, he began to pray to any god that would listen.
"Hey Zander, can you watch the kids foe a bit? I gotta go shopping for something. "
sky asked
"Sure," Zander said, mentally noting that Dani was pinching her nose for some reason."I can watch them, while you go out."
The surgeons pumped a drug into Ace's system and he faded from consciousness. The doctors waited a few minutes and began cutting into his stomach, occasionally whispering orders and stopping to wipe their tools.
"Thanks " sky said gratefully, stepping closer to Zander and gently handing Mackenzie to him. "Ellis stay with Zander, I will be right back." She said. She turned toward Dani and Macha. " Do you guys wanna come with me?" She asked
Dani nodded eagerly. "And Macha wants to come too." She said for Macha, grabbing her by the wrist and following Sky out of the room.
Blake paced anxiously by the door. He despised being so helpless in a situation like this. His big brother's life hung in the battle and he was helpless, weak, and useless. Blake felt like a little kid again, Commander Ryder spitting those very words in his face.
Dani backtracked and kissed Zander on the cheek, then left again.
It was taking forever, but with the help of a magical time-stopper, the surgeons could finish hours of work in just 30 minutes in real time.
Skylar laughed. "Ok. So. I need to find an Indiana Jones hat and maybe a belt to go with it. And avatar goggles." She said, making a bunch of notes not to forget anything. "What are you guys looking for?"
Blake ended up sitting, staring at the surgeons while they worked and quietly praying for Ace's safety.
