Disclaimer: I don't own Zorro, ZPI does.
Author's Note: Diana wanted a drabble with Victoria waking up after getting shot. My plan kinda fell apart...but this is supposed to be fun, not something I agonize over. I hope you like it.

"Diego?"
Diego jumped, his head lifting from her bedside.
"Victoria, you're awake."
Diego touched her pale cheek, his jaw clenched against tears.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?"
Diego laughed. "You almost die, then ask how I am?"
"You saved me. I knew you would."
Diego kissed her palm, surprised and touched by her words.
"Zorro?"
Diego shook his head. "Zorro's gone. He won't risk your life again."
"No. You must..."
"Forget about Zorro."
"How can you say that?"
"He almost killed you!"
Victoria shook her head. "Zorro must ride."
"I don't agree."
"It's not up to you."
"Yes, it is."
