He's holding my left hand and right side to prevent me from falling,"We'll take your pace."
I shake my head,"Leave me. Your not in the condition for this. Get your head checked." I'm out of it. I've never felt like this before.
He takes a step,"I'm not leaving you here. I'm fine, and so are you."
I'm not in the mood to argue, so I go with it. We're slow moving for a while.

By the time we get back to my shop, I'm hardly consious. Nero's practically carrying me now. Black starts to cloud my sight. Nero opens the doors, and the others immediately run to us. Vergil even runs to me. I hear my name and I feel that someone is picking me up, but those are the last things I get before everything goes black.

I open my eyes slowly. I'm in my bed, upstairs. I look to my right and see that the others are in the room as well. Nero, Vergil, Lady, and Trish are actually having a conversation.

He sighs,"Yeah....I owe you."
"Shut up. You don't owe me anything. You got me back here didn't you? We're even."
He smiles, letting it go.
"So, how long have I been out?"
Vergil,"About 3 days. Just so you know, you'll probably cough up blood sometime in the future. For the healing process we're going through, it's normal."
I half smile,"Great...."
Lady,"Well, I'd love to stay, but I have to get going. I've got a job I have to tend to."
Trish comes over to me and kisses my forehead,"I'm going with her. Be safe."
She smiles. I say bye and then the two are gone.
