So he left the comforting hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her a little.
"Would you know how we can contact a family member?" Ty finally asked. "Somebody we can tell where you are and what happened?" The man closed his eyes briefly, hoping for good news.

"If...if you call ..." Sync stopped as his green eyes searched for a piece of paper and a pencil. Finding one by his bed and the other on the other side of him, he picked both up and scribbled down a number before holding it out tentatively. "It's... m-my home phone... what... what happened, exactly?" he asked still doing his best to look more at Ty than Nami. The brown haired woman sucked in a good deal of air before stepping forwards and all but snatching up the paper from Sync. Looking down at it before looking at Ty weakly, Nami mumbled something about a pay phone and quickly exited, doing her best now to seem distraught as she moved away. As Sync watched Nami leave, he physically deflated a little and sighed before closing his eyes and leaning back on the pillows. Meanwhile, Nami walked down the hallway rather quickly and did come across a pay phone. Fidgeting with some money from her pocket, she pulled out a quarter, inserted it and began to dial the number that she had been given. Meanwhile, at the Herrera, household, a phone was ringing.

He hated seeing her like this, and from the looks of it the boy was terrified of her for some reason. "The capital was bombed, and I guess you got caught in the rubble somehow...we found you under what used to be a building and rushed you here...."
Meanwhile, at the Hererra house, the phone rang, and for a while, no one came to answer. Finally Tempo came downstairs from the safety of her room. "I have no one who calls but I'm always the one left to answer the stupid phone..." she murmured as she picked up the house phone. "Hello," a very uninterested and bored-sounding voice answered. This better be important...

The capital had ... what? Suddenly Sync found himself rushing and tracing back all the thoughts he had before whatever happened went down. However, he found his memory completely blank. He didn't even remember what he had been doing that day. A panic broke onto Sync's face, and his heart monitor skyrocketed again as a different thought came to him. "Are they alright?" he demanded rather quickly though not explaining who 'they' were though one could easily and correctly assume that they were his family members.
Meanwhile, Nami waited until the phone was picked up. After the hello, she breathed into the phone and had to fight off the urge to cry. "Hi... m-my name is Nami.. Nami Umeko and.... well...er... a ... boy... er.. your brother or something... or son or... but he... he was in the capital bombings and is here and the hospital...." she finished finding her heart rate threatening to faint her.

Tempo almost dropped the phone. "...Sync? ....Hang on a second." With that, Tempo set the phone down, and checked the house. Sure enough, Sync was gone. Sync rarely went off like that, but... She ran back to the phone.
"What happened? Is he alright?" she asked, suddenly more frantic.

Though they scared him quite often, that didn't mean Sync didn't love his mildly terrifying sisters. "I d-d-d..." he didn't get to finish and ended up whimpering a little. If they had died.. he didn't... didn't know what he would do. They were family... they were family even if they were scary.. even if Muse terrified him... he... he didn't want her dead. After a moment, Sync shook his head before falling silent.
Nami froze when the name was stated. She hadn't had a chance to figure out the boy's name, but now that she knew it... something in her broke that much more. As she was told to hang on, Nami waited still more or less frozen as she stood there. When Tempo came back and asked what had happened, Nami was forced to whisper. "I... don't know if you know but... the capital was bombed and....er.... he... was caught in it... butheseemsalrightandhe'dnotdead," she finished rather quickly.

"I'm sure they're fine..." he murmured.
"Yeah....We'd heard about that, and had been packing to move...I...I just noticed he was gone...I'm glad he's okay. I'll get my older sister to take me up there. Be there soon. MUSE!" Tempo hollered as she hung up.
"What?" Muse asked, stomping down the stairs. "I'm trying to PACK." "Muse...Sync's in the hospital. He was in the capital, something fell on him or something...he's alive, but..." "What!?! The little rat snuck out when we're busting our--"
Something in Tempo flared up at this, and she looked her older, slightly taller sister in the eye, albeit by glancing up. "Muse. Sync is HURT. In the HOSPITAL. He could have died. Mom and Dad aren't home, so we need to go."
Muse sighed. Although she hated Sync, deep down she really didn't want him dead. Or seriously hurt, unless she caused it. Though she'd never admit or show she at least slightly cared for the boy. "Fine...I'll be back."
"No. I'm going with you."
Muse let out an audible sigh. "" Dad's truck is outside. Let's hurry..."
Time passed, and the truck pulled up outside the hospital. While Muse talked to the receptionist, Tempo found the room and walked inside. "S-sync?"

He hoped they were alright, and this worry actually masked a good deal of pain that was starting to work up in him. The medicine could only work for so long before he began to feel all the damage that had come to his body. "Ok..." he said quietly forcing his eyes to close and his heart to relax again.
Nami hung up the phone shortly after, and for a few seconds, she just stared at the pay phone. Shaking her head, she forced herself to start back down towards the room that the boy was in. As she came in, she looked towards Ty and then towards Sync. Sync, whose eyes were closed, didn't notice Nami's entrance, and upon realizing this, the brown haired woman simply walked quietly over to Ty and stood by him. She didn't say anything, and thus, silence ensued.
Time passed rather quickly, and before Nami realized it, the door had fallen inwards. Looking, Nami found herself face to face with Tempo. Her features matched those of the boy's and Nami could only assume after the name was stated that she was some sort of relation. Sync, who had been laying quietly just trying to control himself, ended up looking over in registration of his name. Upon seeing his sister, he quite literally jumped. "T-t-t-tempo....." Sync mumbled quietly.

Ty just stood next to Nami, not knowing what to say or do, but then a girl walked in; she looked very similar to the boy, albeit slightly older.
"Hey, little bro," she said quietly. She hated seeing him like this. "I got Muse to drive me up here as soon as I heard what happened." This was...awful. Tempo didn't spend time with any of her family, no, but she wasn't downright mean to them. (Unless they started it.)
At that moment, Muse walked in. "Sync! What were you doing in the city when you were supposed to be home pa--" "Muse...not now." "But he, and I--" "No."
Muse heaved a sigh; those two were lucky two strangers were in the room..."Sorry," she huffed. "Not used to this...stress and all."
My ass, Tempo thought to herself before looking at Ty and Nami. "Thanks. You know, for helping our brother."

Sync tensed, and nails dug into sheets as the green haired boy caught sight of not one but two of his sisters entering. His heart beat was screaming in his ears, and it was taking the poor boy everything not to try and bolt off the bed. I'm hurt.. I'm hurt.. if I try and get off... I'll just hurt myself more... he kept trying to reassure himself that was a good enough reason to stay still even as Tempo and Muse addressed him. After a moment, a tiny squeak escaped from him, and he ended up sinking into the sheets a little.
Nami, meanwhile, stood off to the side a little with Ty, but as blue eyes watched over what was happening, the brown haired woman frowned. He looks... even more afraid of them than he was afraid of me..." she realized and bit her lip wondering if maybe the boy had been abused or... something. As Tempo addressed Nami and Ty, Nami offered a weak smile. "Welcome... we're... just glad we could help..." she replied nodding her head a little.

Muse sat in the corner of the room in silence, while Tempo just sort of...stared. "Sync...I'm sorry...I didn't even know you were gone. I know, we were packing, and it was busy, and there's eight of us, not counting Mom and Dad, but...." Tempo turned away, a tear threatening to come out. NO. She wouldn't cry. Tempo COULDN'T cry. Meanwhile Muse just looked ready to go home.
Ty merely gave a nod at Tempo. He noticed the boy's reaction, and blinked. Was he....terrified of his own sisters? He also acted the same around Nami. ...Why was this kid scared of women? Though, the one in the corner DID seem like she could have a temper...

For all he knew of his sister, Sync found himself startled to hear and see Tempo's display, and fear was replaced with uncertainty. Looking away, he slowly reached up a pained arm and set a hand on the back of his neck. "I'm... I'm alright," he mumbled before offering a weak smile that came and went rather quickly. As Sync seemed to perk up a bit, Nami raised a hand and set it over her heart. For whatever reason, a slight pain was now throbbing in it, and she realized the feeling was not that of anxiety anymore so much as exhaustion.

Tempo didn't have anything to do with her family, no. But that didn't mean the girl didn't CARE, she just had funny ways of showing it. She wanted to be left alone, her space undisturbed. So she treated them the same way. But now...this was just....awful. Poor Sync put up with enough at home without having something like this happen outside of home...Walking over, Tempo took her brother's hand, holding it gently. "No, you're not," she whispered. "Look, if you ever need anything, be it help while you're injured, or dealing with....bullies, you can ask me...." Her voice was quiet, making sure to keep this between the two of them. Louder, she said, "I may not show it like I should, but...I love you, little bro."
Muse, meanwhile, had fallen asleep in her chair. Ty looked at Nami, smiling. This was sweet...

Sync's face distorted from fear and surprised back to fear and back to awe again. Though his heart kept racing regardless of the new stress, one was obviously more positive than the other. Slowly, his had nodded up and down quietly. "I... I .... thanks... big sis..." Sync mumbled weakly. He was afraid, and she was a girl, but Tempo hadn't ever really do anything to him, unlike Muse, and ... well... He couldn't quite bolt out of the bed he was in even if he wanted to.
Nami looked back at Ty and offered back a smile of sorts. It was good... this was good. Looking back towards Muse, the brown hired woman sweat dropped. What kind of sister-er- like Nami had a right to judge, but she wanted to judge so hard it wasn't even funny.... After a moment, Nami looked back towards Tempo. "So... is the rest of your family ok?" she asked, or possibly squealed, out.

Tempo smiled, briefly before letting go of Sync's hand, then looked back to Ty and Nami. "Yeah, Mom and Dad are out East taking care of some business, Muse, Sync and I are here, and the other five are at home packing." She gave a slight nod before sitting in a chair next to Sync's bed.
Ty's eyes meanwhile almost popped out of his head. They had EIGHT children?!? Holy..."Whoa. Well, I'm glad everyone's okay," he said brightly.

Sync nodded his head quietly before leaning back on the bed feeling exhausted again. He just wanted to sleep for th next few hours or something, but a part of him didn't want to sleep with this many girls in the room, least they do something bad to him or something. "I'm... glad everyone's ok.." the green haired boy whispered quietly before sighing more than before.
Nami physically fidgeted a little at the thought of that many siblings and... what that meant for the parents. After a moment, she realized what she had done and stepped a little closer to Ty trying to play it off as though she were cold rather than anything else. "Anyways... since.. you're here... Ty and I are..." Going to go? Why Nami couldn't say that she had no idea.

Tempo nodded. "We all are, little brother. We all are." Meanwhile, Muse snored in her chair. "Thanks, for everything," she said, looking at Ty and Nami. "Without you, Sync could have...."
"Don't mention it. It was the least we could do." Ty took Nami's hand at her statement. "Take care, girls," he said, turning and starting out the door with her. "That went well," he murmured, smiling.

Sync smiled a little, somewhat weakly but nodded his head and watched as Ty and Nami exited. Leaning back further, he looked at Tempo and offered a weak smile that ended in a grimace due to Muse's snoring. Meanwhile, Nami walked down the hallway with a hand on her chest. "I'm... I'm glad everything turned out alright.." she sighed a little before shaking her head and looking back at Ty. "All this is just so... overwhelming..." she mumbled. "I... want to get out of the city for a bit... can we go?" she asked after a moment.

"Maybe we go to one of those places we'd always talked about visiting together. Just relax, hang out just the two of us."

Oh right! Paradise Island or Escapade or.... "Do we... even have the pen for that, though?" she asked after a moment a little too skeptically for her own good. She wanted to go, but she was a realist when it came down to it. Even if it sounded great to get away and forget everything that she had seen there... Would it really help anything? It would... at least get her thoughts off of it but but but..........
