20 : The Nurses Nephew

When I woke up my shoulder was in pain but not as it was before, before was so painful it numbed but now it was a stabbing pain.

(Scream? Are you alright?) I called out to her.

{Are you alright?} She sounded weak.

(It hurts. Are you alright?)

{I am to weak. It won't heal as fast as normal.}

I hissed when I tried to move. "Hey." A boys voice said as he moved to the bed I was laying on. "Don't move."

I looked at him then around the room. "Where am I?"

"Peter!" A woman called from outside the room. "Is she awake?!"

Peters eyes widened and looked to the door. "Yea!" He turned back to me. "Look. You can't tell her about that night. Just say you fell asleep and didn't see me." He said fast.

(What does that mean?)"Alright." I nodded.

{He was wearing a mask when he found you.}

(Maybe that side of him is secret.)

A woman walked in. "About time. You've been out for two days." She said kindly and walked over. "How are you feeling?" She put a hand on Peters head and brushed his hair as she looked at me.

"My shoulder hurts." I said with a groggy voice.

"Peter why don't you go get her some water while I check her shoulder."

"Alright." Peter bolted up and let the room.

The lady sat down on her bed. "Would you like to tell me how this happened?" She lifted the bandage to check the hole in my shoulder.

(Not really.)"I... I fell. With a knife." She raised a brow. "It was an accident."

"How about why it is healing so fast?" She said with a kind and accepting voice.

I frowned. "I just do." I know by the look she gave me she obviously doesn't believe me. "I'm from Earth if that is what you are wondering."

Peter walked back in and handed the woman the glass. "Peter help sit her up." Peter went behind me and carefully lifted me up and used his chest as a resting place. "Drink." She lifted the glass of water to my lips and I drank as she tilted it for me. "You can't leave until that is healed." She took the glass back. 

{I need food.}

"I will be fine. It can heal fast." The woman sighed. "Please. I need go."

"One night." She held up a finger. "You will stay one night and that the last of that."

{We need to find somewhere far away to hunt. Your brother is probably surveying New York for me and you.}

I nodded. "Alright. Thank you."

She smiled softly. "Now is there anything else I should know about your healing process?"

I eyed her. "Why are you accepting this so fast?"

She raised a brow. "There was an alien attack 4 years ago and a God was their leader. Plus you have the Hulk so I don't think you are much of a shock." She smiled softly.

"Oh... I'm from Earth though. It's just... something is-."

"You don't have to explain." She patted my hand. "I will go make you something to eat."

{Chocolate.}

"Chocolate." I blurted out, she raised a brow. "Could I have something sweet like chocolate?"

The woman looked at the boy. "Peter?"

"I can run to the store." Peter moved from behind me and started to stack pillows so I could be inclined.

My eyes widened slightly. "Oh. It's not necessary. I don't want to cause a fuss."

"It's no problem." The woman smiled. "I'm May by the way. I don't think I ever introduce myself." She pointed to Peter as he was leaving the room. "And this is my nephew Peter."

He stopped and turned to me with a small smile. "Hi."

"Hi." I smiled and looked between both of them. "I'm Elisa." I smiled softly. "Thank you for helping me."

May smiled. "I am a emergency nurse so this is a normal." She glanced at my shoulder. "Sort of normal thing for me." I smiled and nodded. "Is there someone you need to call? A parent or..."

I shook my head. "No thank you." She nodded and stood up. "Actually."(Should I call Logan? He said he would be home soon. What if he is there now?)"Could I borrow your phone?"

"Sure. Let me go get it." I nodded and she left the room.

(Are you alright?)

{Yes. It hurt but I'm fine. I should have just ran.}

(You didn't know he could do that.)

{I shouldn't have underestimated your brother.}

I smiled softly. (I guess. He does have quite the advanced tech.)

May walked back in and handed me a home phone. "Don't invite any other fast healing people, alright." I took the phone. "I rather not give my address to strangers."

I smiled softly. "Alright." She nodded and walked back out of the room. I looked down at the phone and dialed Logan's number then held it to my ear as it rang.

"Who is this?" Someone growled.

I frowned. "Sorry. I must have the wrong number."

"Elisa?" His voice softened.

"Um... Yes. Is this Logan?"

"Yes. Where are you? Are you alright?" He asked fast and with worry.

(He must be home.)"Yea. I'm at a friends. I'm sorry. I should have left a note or something."

"That's alright, darling. Where are you?"

"Um... Just at a friends."

"Can I see you?"

"No. It's alright."

"Elisa I wish to see you." He said with a slight commanding voice. "I need to see you."

"Logan. I'll be home in a couple day-."

"Elisa." He was not messing around. "Please."

I sighed. "Hold on." I cupped the bottom of the phone to dull my voice. "May?"

"Yes?" She walked into view.

"Can my boyfriend come over?"

She walked into the room. "Alright." She held out her hand and I gave her the phone. She put it to her ear. "Hello?... She's healing and will be fine." I mentally slapped my forehead. "Now hold on. My nephew found her a couple nights ago and brought her here so don't go-... Well when you come here you can see... Yes."

(Damn it Logan.)I mouth sorry to her and she gave me a small smile before she told Logan the address and handed the phone back to me.

"You have a very overprotective boyfriend."

I smiled softly. "I know." She smiled and walked out, I put the phone back to my ear. "Logan?"

"I'm on my way."

I sighed. "You don't have to worry. I'm fine-."

"She said you are hurt. You lied."

I huffed. "Because I didn't want you to freak out. I am truly alright. It hurts but I'm healing."

"You should have told me, Elisa." He sighed. "I'm close."

I fiddled with the blanket. "Alright. I miss you."

"I miss you too."

"... Logan?"

"Yes?"

"Is there anyway I could go to your place for a few days?"

"Why, darling?"

(I don't want my brother taking me from my apartment and keeping me hostage for my safety.)

"I just need a few days in a place my brother can't find me."

"We will talk about this when I get there. Alright?"

"Alright."

"I'm cutting the call. I'll be there soon."

"I'll see you soon." The line cut off. (I've never heard Logan so worried and... angry maybe. He sounded different too.)

{He sounded like... Never mind.}

(Who?)

{I'm weak. I could just be hearing things.}

I nodded. (Alright.)

"May, I'm back." Peter called as he walked in. "And this man said he was friends with Elisa." I looked towards the door as Peter and Logan walked through. "I got your chocolate." Peter smiled.

I smiled at Peter. "Thank you." I took the bag and looked at Logan as he was looking over me. "Logan I'm fine."

"Yea." Peter supported me. "She was definitely bleeding a lot but she's been healing quic-." I coughed and Peter looked at me, I motioned for him to leave with my eyes. "Oh, yea. I'll leave you two alone." He said awkwardly and left the room.
