Rather than appear in a waiting room or a quieter place in the hospital, Haii and Dedrick had been teleported right into the very heart of one of the hospitals, and it hadn't taken but one startled scream from a nurse to draw everyone else. Blue eyes had widened, and Haiiro had managed to sputter a few words about a kid he was with before one of the women in white suddenly stepped forwards and began to set her hands on his arms and chest effectively trying to find any sort of injuries. Upon bringing a hand to his arm, the woman's eyes grew as Hai recoiled and had to fight off the urge to beat her. "Don't touc---" Hai had started, but his voice was lost when he was suddenly seized him by his good arm and began to cart him off. "He-hey wait a minute!" Hai barked finding himself being pulled away from the kid he had just materialized with. "Sir your arm needs to be looked at right now," another nurse who was pulling him by his good arm answered back in a rather sharp determined voice that only served to piss Haiiro off. Shaking his head, Hai looked back. "The kid," he started but was effectively ignored as the woman stated spoke about getting him to a room quickly. Before he even realized it, Hai found himself thrust in a room with scrambling doctors and nurses who effectively stripped him of his jacket before he had a chance to fight back. Hands found themselves on his arm, and Hai quite literally punched one of the doctors. A few screams echoed in the air, and Hai found himself forcing himself up and backing himself into a corner. "We need to get him to surgery immediately," was the only thing that Hai heard, and it was enough to set the already high panicked, irritated man on edge. "Surgery wait what-..." Hai started, but before he could get his question answered, Hai found himself sitting down and being now carted in a chair. The hell? When did that happe-... And suddenly he was in a room and being told not to try to move as a group began to move him onto a table. Shit shit shit shit shit..... Haii's eyes grew, and he felt the need to rip and tear away as quickly as he could, but as if on some sort of psychic cue, one of the nurses began to set restraints on his appendages outside of his crushed arm. "The hell is going on!" Haii shouted feeling himself drowning in voices and orders and frustrated because of it. "Sir you need to try and relax..." one of the nurses stated. "Doctor we need to-"Whatever came after that was lost on Haiiro and he began to try and move his shattered arm to try and rip off the restraints. "Sir!" was the shout. "Shut up bitch! I'm not hurt! There's a kid with me, and he was in the rubble and---" Hai barked shaking his head defiantly as his shaky weak fingers tried to release him despite the pain that was vibrating in him because of it. "Sir you're injured, and we need to save that arm of yours. Please just relax..." was the order. Hai's head whipped around. "LIKE HELL TELL ME WHAT ARE YOU-......." there had been a prick feeling somewhere before that, and slwoly the world faded away. Damn it. A few doctors sighed finding the man in question finally out before actually beginning to assess his arm. "We're going to have to put the bone back in place..." someone mumbled, and with that, a shirt was stripped and the doctors began the tedious work of actually getting what was left of the bones to set correctly before proceeding. Somewhere in the mix, it became horribly understood that the bones themselves were not likely to heal correctly on their own. They were literally shattered to pieces, and it was mildly astounding that the man in question had been trying to use said arm to free himself....Splints began to be set into flesh alongside the bone -or lack there of- and casting was laid. Probably because of the urgency in the hospital, what would have taken possibly hours took place in less than one, and after all had been done, the man was carted off to a recovery room. ---- Meanwhile, lucky for her passenger, Isa had managed to bring herself and Cora to the hospital in one piece as well as in the main waiting room.. Sighing in exhaustion, the Gardevoir put a hand to her heart [/scrolly]

The Gallade stood there rather calmly with Dedrick in his arms while the nurses swarmed around them. The little boy that Haiiro was making such a big deal about was clinging to Lance, obviously frightened by the flurry of activity and the fact that Haiiro was fighting the nurses wasn't helping one bit. Dedrick remained largely silent throughout the entire thing, shocked more than anything else and ... he didn't really have the strength to cry anyway. When one of the nurses motioned for Lance to follow after seeing the rather awkward position Dedrick's leg was bent at, the Gallade did as he was told, unwilling to relinquish his charge until he knew for certain that the boy would be safe. Elayne had given him this task after all and he would see it through no matter what happened. A moment later, the nurse requested Lance to gentle set the boy down on the bed which he was about to do until he felt the grip Dedrick had on him,"It is all right young one ... you are safe here,"Lance said to the boy which seemed to have a calming effect on the boy thus allowing him to loosen his grip. As soon as the Lance felt the change, he set Dedrick on the bed and was about to step back and allow the nurses room to work when he felt Dedrick's tiny hand grip his arm. Looking at the boy, the Gallade nodded and remained where he was until Dedrick finally fell asleep under the influence of the medication. As soon as it became clear Dedrick was asleep, the nurses wheeled him into another room to get him into surgery and fix his leg. Honestly it was surprising that the boy had been as quiet as he had been considering how bad the break was, this coupled with a few broken and bruised ribs, and a mild sprain in his left hand left the doctors amazed at the boy's subdued nature when he had entered the hospital. Of course the Gallade that had carried him might have helped with that but it was clear the boy was in shock. A few hours later, Dedrick's leg was successfully set and placed in a cast and wheeled into a recovery room where Lance stood by the bed's side, not wanting the boy to be alone in a strange place when he first awoke.[/scrolly]

When she heard new sounds Cora opened her eyes to see tons of nurses and some doctors running around. Cora looked over at Isa and saw how much teleporting her here had tried the Gardevoir. A worried expression came to Cora's face, "Gardevoir, are you ok? I hope this was not to much for you." Cora said in a worried tone. Cora then looked around at her surroundings. she saw her self in what looked like a waiting room. There where other people who where also hurt in the blast. Tears filled up in Cora's eyes/ It was just to much to take in. Cora then covered her face with her hands and started to cry. [/scrolly]

A sort of alarm went off in Isa's mind, and for all her general childish behavior, the Gardevoir took charge. 'Stay here for a second...' she stated before walking over towards the woman at the desk and beginning to telepathically talk about the woman she had taken to the hospital. At first the woman across the desk was in alarm at having a pokemon speak to her, yet after that, she looked over the window at Cora and nodded her head before promising to get her in as soon as possible. Of all things, the hospital was fast; one could give it that. In less than a few minutes, a nurse was calling for Cora, and Isa, using her psychic powers, helped lift Cora up (so she wouldn't have to walk) and took her back as carefully as she could. A few doctors rushed forwards and began to work over Cora, finding her injuries and the like, before taking her to a room and beginning to do set her leg and casting. Thankfully it seemed it had been a clear break (though in a few locations), and it was much easier to set than other breaks that they had seen today (and without having to use any sort of sedative either). Thus, they were able to get her out relatively fast (not just because they were slightly rushing, either). Meanwhile, Haii was coming slowly coming back to consciousness, but rather than any of his senses coming back, he found himself aware of a steady pounding in his head. His arm was completely numb, and he found himself shoving open an eye to stare at it for a few seconds not even realizing that it had been cast up in a dark blue casting until he'd opened his second eye. !!!!! The hell? "What?!" was what echoed out into the air. [/scrolly]

The young boy was dreaming about the time his family had gone to the beach on a picnic but then the sky turned dark and then suddenly everything got silent leaving Dedrick all alone, lost in the dark void of his mind. Stirring, Dedrick opened his eyes and saw a form next to his bed and tried to sit up only to find that it hurt to do so,".... mommy .... ?he whispered, still not quite awake. Lance looked over when he noticed Dedrick stir and expected him to drift off like he had the past few times but it seemed this wouldn't be the case. Blinking, the Gallade put a hand on the boy's own and shook his head, watching as Dedrick grew sullen and looked away, silent tears drifting down his cheeks. Seeing the tears, Lance shifted rather uncomfortably not knowing what to say to the boy ... of course what could you say to someone who had just lost everything ... .[/scrolly]

For the life of her Cora could not remember how she got into this situation... Why was she there in the first place??? When she asked Feils he did not really answer.. after a few minutes Cora heard her name called and she looked up and blinked. The next thing she knew she was lifted up into the air. That made Cora tense up a little and once again wince in pain. She then did her best to give a weak smile to Isa. " Thank you for your help." Cora said as the doctors started to work on her. Cora sucked in air breathed out and closed her eyes as they set her leg and casted it. When she was moved to a recovery room Cora tried to relax but could not. She looked around the room from her bed with a worried expression. This was going to be one long day... Cora then looked at her leg and gave a sad sigh... She then looked over at Isa. " Are you ok Gardevoir?." Yes Cora had already asked that.. But she was worried about Isa having to do all this for her. [/scrolly]

Hai's eyes flashed around the room he was in until he caught sight of a curtain not too far off, though at first he tried to force himself up off the bed, all Hai succeeded in doing was raising a hell amount of pain and crying out much to his own disdain. A few scant tears made it to Hai's eyes but he refused to let them fall, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached up his good arm and brushed them away.

A nurse who had been patrolling the hall of recovery rooms seemed to bolt in at the cry and looked startled to see what Hai was doing... that was until she recognized the man in question. Oh for Lord's sake this was the man that had fought them nearly all the way through his own surgery. Even in his sleep, the man had twitched and fumbled about making surgery and casting harder than per-usual.

"Sir... please lay back down...." the nurse mumbled quietly as though unsure of what else to say. Hai looked the woman straight in the eyes and leered so hard that the nurse quite literally took a step back. After a moment, Hai shut his eyes and lay back down on his bed. The nurse physically relaxed after that. "Thank you... you had a ... really bad break...er...breaks...and... you really do need your rest..." the nurse mumbled quietly.

"Where is the boy, damn it," was all Hai snapped back causing the nurse to look confused for a few seconds. "Really dark hair and tanned skin... couldn't have been more than ten... He came with me. Where the hell is he?" Hai snapped a bit more causing the nurse to stand more on edge.

"Oh... the one who..." she started before stepping backwards a little. "He just got out of surgery a bit ago... Is he a relation to you or...?"

"Little brother," Hai snapped before he even realized what he had said. It was somehow the first thing that had come to mind. The nurse just blinked a little before nodding and rubbing the back of her neck quietly. "Is he alright?" Hai snapped again despite the fact that the nurse had been about to issue out her own questions. The nurse sighed, fell silent a moment before nodding her head. Well, it looked like he at least didn't have any cranial damage or anything... or if he did he was hiding it well enough at the moment.

"He's in another room... I can go check on him if you like...." she said after a moment. Hai just nodded his head. "Oh.. and... what's your name?" the woman asked. She could at least get that information couldn't she? Indeed.

"Haiiro ..." he answered back sharply causing the woman to slowly nod again before disappearing out of the room and heading towards Dedrick's. Upon coming inwards, she looked towards the boy and the Gallade standing there before leaning forwards and managing a smile.

"Are you alright, little one?" she asked gently. "My name is Miranda, and I'm a nurse.. do you remember your name?" she asked quietly.

Meanwhile Isa had stayed with Cora through it all deciding that the best thing was to keep with the girl despite the fact that she could actively sense where Hai was at that point. Thus, when Cora was finished up, Isa found herself blinking a little at the question. 'Oh... my name is Isa.. and yeah... I'm ok.... just... a little worried for everyone else... is all....' she mumbled before drifting closer to Cora. 'Are you ok now?' she asked with a soft smile as she looked at the girl.

Meanwhile, Harubi had flown started out flying rather quickly to the hospital, but when Felis had happened to catch sight of a person injured on the ground, he had stopped and promised Elayne that they would get there but they had to help these people get to the hospital. Thus, though they could have made it there quicker in one trip, Felis ended up taking several trips to the actual hospital dropping people off and picking them back up again.

After nearly two hours of this, they'd managed to get everyone and then started to the hospital again once more. Upon getting there, Felis found himself confused. He asked around, spoke kindly to a few, and managed to get some general information but enough to pinpoint exactly where Cora and the boys were. It was incredibly frustrating, but after a bit of waving his title around, he managed to get past the people and into the back to look for the three. "Don't worry Elayne, we'll find them," Felis said as reassuringly as he could. "I'm sure they've already taken them up and taken care of them... just with everyone they're having to not do the paperwork which is confusing things... I'm sure," Felis mumbled more to himself than not as he walked down the hallway then.

Dedrick hadn't moved from the time Lance had told him that his mother was gone until the time the nurse had come into his room. Hearing someone come in, Dedrick turned to look hoping to see a familiar face only to realize that it was only the nurse. Looking somberly at the nurse as she spoke he shifted his eyes down at his cast only just then realizing how much his chest ached,"My ... chest .... hurts ... ,"he said quietly before hearing the latter question and nodding slowly,"My name's Dedrick ... ."

Lance remained quiet throughout the conversation and simply stood there, not wanting to leave the boy alone but at the same time wanting to find Elayne once again whom he could sense was inside the building by this time. Shifting slightly, Lance decided to remain where he was, thinking it more important that the boy have at least someone with him for the time being.

Elayne was nearly frantic with worry by the time they had reached the hospital and even more so due to the amount of time it was taking to find Haiiro, the boy, and Cora. If not for Felis being there Elayne would have given up long ago or might have even simply gone mad ... either way, Elayne was grateful to have Felis there with her. Hearing Felis' words, Elayne nodded, having barely paid attention throughout the entire time he had been talking to the nurses and other people in charge. It wasn't until Elayne heard Haiiro's voice that she allowed herself to breathe again, not even realizing that she had been holding it in the first place. Heading towards the room where she had thought she had heard Haiiro's voice, Elayne hoped that he was all right ... that everyone was all right. Tears filled Elayne's eyes when she entered the room and saw Haiiro in the bed, walking as quickly as her injured ankle would allow her to, Elayne reached the side of the bed and put a hand on Hai's shoulder, not wanting to hurt him if she could prevent it."Haiiro ... ,"she began quietly before blinking away the tears that had threatened to fall,"I am so glad ... how are you feeling ... ?"

When Isa asked if she was ok, Cora looked up at Isa and was tempted to lie but she knew a Gardevoir was feeling pokmeon and on top of that a physic. So Isa would be able to see through a lie. Tears filled in Cora's eyes as she gave a weak smile. " I..I'm better then I was before..." Cora said weakly. If Cora had been alone she may have just starting outright crying. But she held her self together the best she could but she may not be able to for long. The tears where now starting to flow and Cora may not be able to stop them for long. [/scrolly]

The nurse allowed her smile to fall a little as Dedrick spoke, and her eyes slowly went to the boy's chest. From what she knew of this one...."I'm sorry little one, but it's going to hurt for a while... I'll see if I can try and adjust some of your medication to make it stop hurting or at least lessen," she said in a quiet gentle voice. For all she was, the nurse was a good nurse when it came to bedside manner. She may have been young, but she had a sympathy and empathy that came naturally to her.

As the boy gave his name, she nodded slowly taking it in. Among other things, there hadn't been time to learn the boy's name previously, and now that he had said it, she was also sure he was at least aware of himself. There could still be a threat to the mind from those blows, but this was at least a little assurance that he had some memory.

"I see... your big brother wanted me to to make sure you were alright," she smiled before looking towards the Gallade quietly. That was a prestigious pokemon by species alone, and she wondered if it possibly belonged to someone else rather than this little boy. Hm, maybe that man who had stated his name was Haiiro? She wasn't sure but also wasn't sure if she even wanted to ask considering talking with a pokemon was assumed to be something different from human speech. However, he was very human-like...

After a few seconds, Miranda shook her head and looked back at Dedrick with a cal smile. "Do you remember what happened to you, by chance?" she asked slowly changing her vision to the chart on th end of the boy's bed. Dark ruby eyes stared down at the chart taking in the medication the boy was on while the one who owned such eyes was thinking over exactly how to balance out some of the pain medication. After a moment of thought, she looked back up again towards Dedrick knowing what she wanted to do. She'd have to talk to a doctor to make sure, but she was still rather sure that was the best way to go about things.

Felis had continued to walk down the hallway, looking through the rooms as quickly as he could. However, when Elayne seemed to snap to something he hadn't apparently heard, the blond blinked and followed after her. Dang, Elayne walked fast when she was on a mission of sorts, even with her ankle...It probably wasn't good for her. Once they found the group, he was going to make Elayne sit down whether she wanted to or not. "Found someone?" he called, but by that time, Elayne had disappeared into a room.

Sighing, Felis turned into the room and stood in the archway upon seeing who was inside. Ah, that black haired man, heh.. Well there was one, at least... Looking across the hallway, Felis stepped out for a moment looking around to see if any of the others were in that vicinity. Maybe they had taken all three at once. However, his thoughts reminded Felis that Cora had gone with Isa shortly after. Hopefully they'd be able to-- No. They would find the other two. Felis was determined to stay positive.

Haiiro closed his eyes once the nurse had left and sighed outwards. However, the sound of quick feet down the hallway was enough to cause his eyes to open again. Ugh, if that was the nurse going to ask if he was alright, then he was going to send her --- Elayne? Haiiro blinked not really believing at first but still finding her there when his eyes opened again. Finding a hand on his uninjured shoulder and listening to that voice, Hai sighed outwards but smirked slightly. "Elayne......... I've........Been better," he managed to answer back coolly despite the fact that he wanted to say more: to curse out those doctors that had suddenly taken him hostage there at the hospital. It was bad enough that they hadn't listened to him, but setting him up here after all that... ugh.

It was only after he opened one eye again that Haii caught sight of those tears sliding down Elayne's face, and for a brief moment, he just stared at them. She... didn't look good in tears. Raising his better arm, Hai managed to bring up a -- now where the hell did they take his gloves?!-- an un-gloved hand and brushed a few tears away. "Hey..." he started before falling silent unsure of what else to say. "Stop that, I'm not some tear-eyed case," he smirked a little. That hadn't come out the way he wanted, but it was effective enough for what he wanted to say, it seemed.

Meanwhile, Isa did her best to offer back her own weak smile and turned towards the door for a moment as a familiar mind came into range. Well, familiar for a short moment, anyways. 'I think they'r here....' she mumbled psychically. Slowly looking back at Cora before then walking to the door, she opened it and stepped out to see Felis walking through the halls. The blond man! 'Over here!' Isa called doing her best not to yell her psychic thoughts least others in the hospital yell at her. She really didn't want to get yelled at, really. Especially with so many minds in one proximity, no angry thoughts thank you very much.

Felis had jumped a little when he heard the voice in his head, but upon seeing Isa, he managed to smile and walked quickly over to the room and stepped into the archway. Upon seeing Cora, he smiled a little. That was two. However, he wouldn't look for the third just yet. Instead, he found himself addressing Cora. "Miss Cora," he smiled gently stepping inwards and slowly looking over her injuries before frowning slightly. "Is there anything I can do?" he asked falling somber after that. He doubted there was anything that he could really do at that point, but if there was just something small, anything really, Felis would jump on it faster than a Sceptile on a hot date.

Isa had stepped back when Felis had stepped inwards and returned to her stance next to Cora. It was good to have another human there, but she was still worried over her Hai. Yes, her Hai seeing as he was her trainer and all. She wanted to find him and make sure he was ok, but she wasn't about to leave Cora's side till she was sure that the girl would be ok -- both socially and physically. That was the duty of sorts that had been inserted into her being upon evolution: an empathy that, though she could ignore it, persisted in her being.

Dedrick nodded slowly when the nurse said he would hurt for a while, falling silent once again though he seemed to relax a little more with the nurse in the room. She seemed nice at least ... and it made Dedrick feel a little more safe though he still felt a little scared which was only natural considering all that had happened recently. When the nurse mentioned his brother, Dedrick blinked, confused, "Brother ... ? Oh ya mean that tall nice man that helped me ... is he all right?"he asked quietly before the nurse asked if he remembered what had happened. Falling silent, Dedrick averted his eyes from the nurse and wrapped his arms around himself as silent tears slid down his cheeks. Nodding slowly, Dedrick closed his eyes, his small form shaking slightly as he continued to cry,"We were ... walking in the street to surprise Jae .... and then there was a boom and- ... ,"he began before his voice cut out. Taking a deep breath, the boy cleared his throat and forced himself to continue,"And then ... screaming and .... Mommy fell on me and I hurt and .... . When I woke up it was dark and I hurt .... . The nice man helped me but .... everyone .... everyone was gone ... ,"Dedrick managed before dissolving into tears, hurting too much to continue anymore both physically and emotionally.

Lance put a hand on the boy's shoulder when he had started to cry, wishing that there was something that he could do to ease the pain he felt coming from the boy but knew that the best thing he could do for Dedrick right now was simply be there for him. And so the Gallade remained by Dedrick's side, hoping that by remaining there his presence would ease the boy's pain at least somewhat.

Elayne smiled slightly when Haiiro said that he'd been better which was probably true of any person in the hospital that day, even still it was good to hear him say at least something,"I'm not surprised ... you looked to be in pretty bad shape ... ,"she whispered before feeling a hand on her face, wiping away her tears. Blinking, Elayne stared at Haiiro for a moment, a rosy blush coming to her cheeks until she heard his remark and half-laughed."Only you would say that ... ,"she commented lightly shaking her head slightly as she spoke.

Meanwhile in another part of the hospital, Jalicia had finally woken up after being unconscious for several hours and looked around, confused ... where was she ... and where was Kitty ... ? The memory of the moments before the bombings came back in a flash right then, making Jalicia attempt to sit up only to gasp in pain as her chest and arm throbbed ... . The last thing Jalicia remembered was having Kitty help her finish the new dress she had been making just for Kitty when there was the explosion ... Jalicia vaguely remembered nearly tackling Kitty to the ground as the windows shattered and the walls started to cave in ... .

How had she even made it out alive would forever remain a mystery to Jalicia ... but then perhaps the doctors and nurses would know what exactly had happened. Looking around the room, the white-haired woman noticed then that her arm was in a cast and several bandages were wrapped around her chest apparently to ease the pain of the broken ribs Jalicia guessed she had to have from the way her chest was hurting every time she breathed. One thing Jalicia quickly figured out was that sitting up was not a good idea considering every time she did so her vision swam. The next time she was able to focus, Jalicia realized that Kitty was in fact in the bed next to her much to her great relief and would have probably put a hand on the young girl's shoulder if the closest arm had not been the one that was in the cast. The poor girl had a broken arm as well but other than a few other scratches seemed fine otherwise, much different than the now yellowing bruises on Jalicia's arms, neck, and face. Breathing out quietly, Jalicia smiled slightly, glad to see that Kitty was at least all right for the most part."Hey thar Kitty,"Jalicia said quietly after a moment."How ya holding up?" Jalicia asked, not even realizing how odd the question might have seemed considering how awful she must appear right then to the young girl, or anyone for that matter.

Oddly enough, she didn't seem too incredibly shaken, if a little bit down. In truth, the full effect of everything hadn't really hit her yet. Offering Jalicia a weak but legitimate smile, she answered, "I'm okay.." A frown came to the girl's face then, and she sighed a little dejectedly. "I wish they'd let me in Ryan's room, though.." She and Jae hadn't even realized he was home yet when everything had gotten so crazy. Kitty was really proud to have found him when she managed to call the ambulance. Of course, all that blood had really terrified her for a bit, but a nice worker lady promised her that he should probably most likely be okay, so she was going to believe her. She brightened almost immediately after speaking, though. It was far from the chipper enthusiasm Jae would be used to, but compared to probably everyone else in the hospital at that moment, she was pretty okay. "But they did let me come stay with you, so that's good." Holding up her left arm slightly, she added, "And my arm barely hurts now! As long as I don't do much with it.. And this cast is kind of cool, huh?" [/scrolly]

Oh please be Elayne or Felis.. Though the person she wanted the most right now was her Mother... But her Mother did not know she was even here.. She was most likely at work at the Kendall's.. When Felis entered the room the dam holding Cora's tears broke and came running down her cheeks nonstop. When Feils asked if there was anything he could do Cora nodded, "M...M..My M..Mother, She does not know I'm here.. She works for the Kendall's They are a noble family.. S,,She would be there working now.. Please can you go get her?." Cora was able to say through her sobs. Cora then covered her face with her hands and cried into them. for Cora when she started to cry it was hard to stop. [/scrolly]

Dedrick's reaction to the term 'brother' was enough to bring a rather confused look across poor Miranda's face, and quite honestly, she had no idea what to say. Er... Did that man from the other room have some sort of memory loss or association problems? The young boy seemed to recognize him at least--- Or maybe the man had been lying and simply did it to force the issue a bit more? The nurse was too inexperienced with hospital lies and honestly didn't know what to believe. Thus, she just nodded her head slowly at Dedrick.

She wished she hadn't asked the last question due to the boy's reaction that followed. It tore her up to see him crying there, and a part of her was wishing there was something more she could do for him. When he broke down fully, Miranda bit her lip before leaning forwards and holding the little boy. "I'm sorry, hun..." she said quietly before a thought came to her. "Would... would you feel better if I took you across the hall? Your bro- the man that you're talking about, I think, is in the other room," she said after a moment. If she had to, she could just wheel the entire bed in to that room..

.It probably wasn't the smartest move on her part especially since there was an organization system to the madness of the hospital which included room information, but she was willing to do anything to make this little boy stop crying.....

Haiiro's hand dropped after a moment, and he smirked a little at Elayne and then looked at his arm as if addressing the thing itself for a brief moment. "Stupid thing. It looks worse than it is," he mumbled aloud before looking back at Elayne. "I told them that I was fine, but they all went berserk and decided to play Operation on my arm...." he sighed before slowly raising up the cast that ran the length of his entire arm. Looking back again, Haii sighed. "Ya doin' ok?" he asked after a moment.

Cora's sudden sob followed by others was enough to set Felis's entire form on edge, and he found himself hugging her and doing his best not to cause any sort of pain to her by doing so. Her mother? Felis tried to understand all of what Cora said, and as the name Kendall came, he recognized it at least. "I could... give their house a call," he finally nodded his head a little and released her before standing up again. "Do you maybe want to talk with her on the phone?" he asked quietly. It wasn't the same, Felis knew that, but maybe it would help Cora in the meantime?

As empathic as she was, Isa found herself holding back tears of her own as the wave of Cora's emotions toppled over her. Thus, she just gulped and did her best to remain calm.

Dedrick leaned against Miranda when she bent to hug him, brief though it was ... it did help some though and after a time the boy calmed enough to register what the nurse had asked and found himself nodding. Though he didn't know the nice man very well, he was still a familiar face and right then Dedrick wanted at least someone that he recognized. Blinking away tears, the boy laid back against the bed, flinching slightly at the ache in his chest ... it hurt to breathe but Dedrick wasn't going to complain. The nurse had said it would hurt for a while anyway so it wouldn't really do good to complain ... for a moment Jalicia came to mind but Dedrick pushed the thought aside, not wanting to think about his oldest sister ... they had been going to see her after all but if she was gone too ... . Tears blurred Dedrick's vision as the thought surfaced, but he quickly blinked them away, not really wanting to cry anymore.

Lance closed his eyes when the boy continued to cry, willing himself to not do the same even though the emotions from the boy was making the feat harder than it should have been. When the boy calmed down, the Gallade breathed out quietly, relieved that Dedrick was at least a little better though he knew it would be quite some time before the boy would return to normal ... if there was such a thing.

Elayne looked at the cast as Haiiro talked about his arm and then something about an operation which made her pale slightly ... . How could such a thing not be serious if it required an operation ... but then she supposed most breaks would. After a moment, Elayne realized that Haiiro had asked if she was doing all right and found herself giggling slightly ... out of all the things to ask, the man who was sitting in a hospital bed with a cast on his arm was asking if she was all right. It made Elayne feel better ... calmer ... if only slightly, it was good to see that Haiiro at least was his usual self, "I'm all right ... just worried about everyone is all ... there's the boy and my sister and ... ,"she began in a quiet voice that seemed to grow more strained as she continued. Cutting herself off before she truly began to panic, Elayne took a deep breath and closed her eyes briefly and tried her best to smile though it was clear she was still rather upset about the whole thing. Shifting her weight slightly so that she was off of her bad ankle, Elayne shook her head,"Sorry ... I know I'm a mess ... ,"she said quietly before half-laughing,"Elly was almost as worried as I was ... still is in fact. I think that she was more worried about never getting to see Rai again though ... . I'm just glad you're all right ... ,"Elayne continued, her voice and tone carrying more emotion and more meaning than she probably meant to but then again Elayne wasn't necessarily thinking straight either.

Jalicia smiled when Kitty said that she was OK and wished the same could be said of her, though given that Jalicia had only just woken up it made sense that she would feel rotten for a little while until the medicine kicked in. The next thing Kitty said made Jalicia breathe in sharply, an action that she immediately regretted shortly afterwards. Oh sweet Arceus no ... Ryan was here ... , the very mention of him being in the hospital made Jalicia worried, but Kitty didn't seem to worried about him ... that was good, perhaps everything would be fine. Yes ... she had to remain positive if only for Kitty's sake ... , returning her attention to Kitty once again, Jalicia smiled slightly and nodded,"I'm sure Ryan will be jes fine sweetie. He's always been a fighter evar since I known him, yer brother will be all right,"she reassured Kitty, though the words were more for her than Kitty truth be told. As the girl continued to talk, Jalicia couldn't help but smile as Kitty brightened up a little and talked about her arm and her own cast,"An' I'm mighty glad ta see ya here too kitten~, 'twas right nice of them nurses to put us together,"Jalicia replied in a more cheerful voice before looking over at Kitty's cast and nodding before lifting her own cast up slightly so Kitty could see."Now ain't that something else, why, we both have casts. Though I'm sure glad ta hear yal aren't hurting as bad. I know jes the thing, when we get outta this here hospital we can have Nerina make our casts all right perty. Watcha think 'bout that idear?" Jalicia continued before falling silent to see what Kitty would say. Her chest seemed to be hurting more after her little commentary making Jalicia wish that she hadn't spoken as much but then again, she did want Kitty to believe things were as normal as could be and normal for Jalicia meant she was talkative ... even if it did hurt a hell of a lot more to do so.

"Yeah~" She should have been more excited about that, but.. Well, it was still nice. And it was kind of cool that she and Jae were cast-buddies. Hehe~ About that time, someone running frantically past their door- had that been another doctor maybe?- caught Kitty's attention, and after a few moments thinking on things she frowned again. "I'm still not sure what happened, though... Everything.. jus' sorta asploded?" She'd no way of knowing that was exactly what happened. "There was that loud boom and everything went flying an' I guess I broke my arm when I went flying.." She glanced at said arm again for a moment, but then shrugged with her good shoulder. She'd seen kids on TV break stuff before and it didn't look too bad. She had a feeling hers would last more than an episode, but she was kind of okay with it. At least she was right-handed. It was the rest that really bothered her. "I called the ambalence an' found Ryan under some stuff by the.... where the door use ta be." It didn't really occur to her how many parts of that line were likely to freak Jae out. "They tol' me he'd be okay, though... but ou'side there was..." Here the little girl actually became rather depressed, looking for a window and gazing at the door when she found none. "Ever'thing was in pieces an' so many people was hurt.. The nurses said dey're really busy acause there's lots and LOTS o' people here..." She whimpered slightly. "I... I jes hope all o' them'll be okay too.." [/scrolly]

When Feils hugged her, Cora leaned into him fully accepting the hug. Though after a few minutes she was able to force herself to calm down just as Felis offered to call the Kendall household. Cora removed her handa away from her face, that was now red from crying so hard. Her eyes where a red as well. Cora nodded, "Y...Yes, P...please I need to tell her I'm ok.." Cora said doing her best to keep her now over flowing emotion in check and trying to calm down. [/scrolly]

The nurse sighed softly when Dedrick calmed and agreed to see the other man in the room. After a few moments of hesitation, she began to start taking down different chords and whatnot that was attached to the bed. Once she had shut the majority of things down seeing as, now that the boy was conscious, they weren't needed, Miranda turned and slowly pulled out a pokeball. Releasing a rather surprising pokemon for a nurse to have: A Gurdurr appeared and made a salute to the nurse who laughed sheepishly before making a motion to the bed. After a moment, the Gurdurr nodded and began to wheel the bed out of the room and into the room across the hall as was directed by Miranda.

Meanwhile, Haiiro sweat dropped a little at Elayne's giggle of sorts. This wasn't a funny situation, and uh <_<; meh.... He was about to ask exactly what she was giggling at, least it be him... which would leave him caught between two impulses: one to tell her to quit and the other to just sit there and smirk at having managed to make the situation better...er... not better in that sense, but...bah.

The sorry caught Hai off guard, and he found himself just staring at Elayne and sweat dropping slightly. As Elayne explained what she was sorry for, Haii just rolled his eyes, yet a smirk set itself on his features at least. The comment on Elly actually forced a laugh from Hai despite the fact that the compression of his chest physically hurt. "Well I keep my pokemon in their balls, and those damn spheres are pretty durable... if I'd died, you probably could have fished out Rai and the others." he answered back despite the rather horrible morbid humor of it.

As Cora replied, Felis nodded his head and pulled out a phone from his pocket and began to start scrolling through the numbers he had. Most were simply the house phones of Eastern nobles, but there were a few other numbers. For as much as he actually hated technology, Felis found himself thankful for actually getting this new phone -- oddly enough an early Christmas present to himself, really. Upon finding the Kendall home phone number, Felis finally pressed the Talk and put it to his ear waiting to see who would answer.

Dedrick looked curiously at the Gurdurr when the nurse released it and wondered if his Blake was all right ... but then considering he had been in his pokeball Dedrick was fairly certain Blake was fine. When the nurse had wheeled Dedrick's bed into the other room, the boy recognized both Elayne and the nice man the nurse had said was his brother. Though Dedrick didn't exactly know why the nurse had said the nice man was his brother, he was still relieved to see faces he recognized. Nodding at Elayne and Haiiro, Dedrick smiled slightly,"Hi .... ,"he said in a quiet voice before falling silent, suddenly too tired both physically and emotionally to stay awake for much longer.

Lance quietly followed the nurse as the boy was moved and nodded at Haiiro and Elayne when he saw them in the next room. Well now this was certainly unexpected ... but welcome all the same.

Elayne's smile fell flat when Haiiro spoke about what she could have done had he- ... no she didn't want to think about that, not now. Haiiro was all right, that's all that counted ... ,"True ... but if that had happened ... Pokemon would be the last thing on my mind ... ,"Elayne replied quietly after a moment, her voice sounding pained as if just the thought was bad enough. Before Elayne had time to think about this further though, another bed was wheeled into the room with a little boy on it that she recognized from before with Lance following shortly behind. Smiling and nodding at the boy, Elayne pushed her depressing thoughts about the previous conversation aside, wanting to appear as optimistic as she could aside from the fact that Elayne felt close to panicking once again ... that and her ankle was throbbing causing her to lean somewhat on Haiiro's bed as a result.

Jalicia smiled slightly when she heard Kitty agree to the cast makeover of sorts before her attention turned towards the sounds of rushing doctors and nurses outside. Jalicia hadn't been aware of them before but now that Kitty had more or less pointed them out, Jalicia found herself hoping that everything would be all right with whatever had just happened outside. Turning her attention back to Kitty as the girl began to speak, Jalicia listened intently. In truth Jalicia didn't know exactly what had happened, but from what she was seeing on the news bulletin that scrolled across the bottom of the cartoon every few minutes, it appeared that there had been bombs set off and thus why her salon was apparently rubble by now. The reality of her situation still hadn't fully set in ... nor the fact that her home and her very livelyhood had been destroyed in one fell swoop as a result of the bomb. Of course considering that Jalicia had just woken up and was still gathering bits and pieces of information as for what had actually happened this was no surprise, and waking up in a hospital with no knowledge of how one had gotten there didn't help matters either.

Kitty's next sentence answered Jalicia's last question though ... and her question as to what had happened to- oiwerjowijefolij Ryan was what now! It took every fiber of Jalicia's being not to panic right then and there ... she had told Kitty that Ryan would be fine ... it would be fine, just ... fine ... . Wait ... Kitty had called the ambulance .... oh mercy that poor 'lil angel. By now Jalicia had paled slightly though she was trying her darndest to remain calm, though even clenching her fists to the point her knuckles turned white wasn't helping all that much. When Kitty spoke up again about how everything outside was broken and all the people here and ... ,"Oh Kitty ... ,"Jalicia whispered as a few tears drifted down her cheeks,"It'll be all right angel, the doctor's are doin' everything they can ta help them people. I'm just glad ya weren't hurt any worse kitten ... ." Sure Jalicia didn't sound as postive as she had been a little earlier, but then it just didn't seem right after hearing all that Kitty had to go through. As it was Jalicia was trying to maintain at least some optimism given that everything she was hearing from Kitty and the news seemed to make the situation worse with everything she was finding out.

Kitty did have to laugh slightly at that. "Yeah..." She'd noticed Jalicia seemed a little bit worse, though the actual severity was a bit lost on her. "Are you doin' okay then?" Really, she'd kind of lost interest in her show now. She'd been doing her best to ignore it and distract herself, but it wasn't like she couldn't read. Exactly what all those big words in that little banner meant was kind of hard to say and trying to read it when it moved so fast could have gone a lot better, but.. She had caught enough little things like "hundred dead" and "in ruins" and stuff to realize it was depressing and not something she wanted to be thinking about. [/scrolly]
