'Tick…ticks…tick.' Elisa looked at the annoying clock hanging on the wall; ticking the seconds away from her bed. She placed her pillow on top of her face trying to drown out the noise. She couldn't take that ticking sound anymore. Sure she could turn on the t.v. but there was nothing on other than the news at this time. Well there's not much she can do, being stuck in hospital bed and all. 'That's what happens when you get shot. You get stuck in bed, an uncomfortable bed none the less with nothing to do.' She thought. Though Elisa was grateful to be alive, she hated the fact that she was confide in the hospital bed for so long.

'Tick…ticks…tick.' She took a quick peek at the clock. She smiled a bit knowing it was almost time as she placed the pillow over her face again. 'Not mention longer now.' She thought as her smile grew a bit more. For tonight Elisa was finally going home after two weeks. Two of the longest weeks of her life. Elisa shook her head in disbelieve as she removed the pillow from her. "Has it really been two weeks?" She said to herself. Two weeks since she arrived at the hospital. Two weeks since she was shot by her own gun. She still could believe it. But that didn't matter now. She couldn't wait to go home, back to her own room, her own bed, her apartment and best of all being far away from the hospital. She hated being in the hospital. While lying in bed, Elisa closed her eyes recalling the events that had led her here.

Flashback

Elisa sighed as she entered her apartment after her confrontation with Tony Dracon. She took off her jacket and holster and hung it on the coat hanger. Suddenly she felt something rubbing against her lower leg. She looked down and smiled at Cagney as he purred, trying to get her attention.

Elisa happily picked him up and placed him in her arms, "Hey Cagney."

Cagney meowed as Elisa stroke the top of his head, "You hungry Cagney." Elisa frowned a bit, "Be glad you have a home cat. The streets just got a whole lot meaner." She carried Cagney with her to the kitchen to make herself some dinner. While deciding on what to make for dinner Elisa heard the sound of the window opening followed by a voice.

"Elisa, you home?" Broadway asked.

"Is that you Broadway?" She said more of a statement than a question. She had an inkling that Broadway would show up. He loved coming over to her house and hang out whenever he got a chance too. Elisa even started buying extra food just for him. Though Broadway didn't what her to spend so much on him, she didn't mind one bit.

"I was in the neighborhood." He said.

"Well, make yourself comfortable. I'll through in a couple of steaks." She said as she smiled and winked at him.

Broadway smiled widely "Thanks!"

Elisa took out a few extra steaks and places them on the frying pan. She wanted to make sure it was just right for Broadway. After all he was the expert when it came to food. Adding some spices to the steak Elisa couldn't help but listen to Broadway reenacting a scene for a movie she knew all too well.

"Let's go pilgrim and don't forget the horse." He recited. Elisa smiled at the lovable gargoyle. She introduced the trio to the world of western movies and out of all of them Broadway fell in love with it the most. The film Broadway in particle recited was one that she seen before. Seeing that the steak was almost ready she opened her cabinet to grab a plate. But as she was about to grab the plate it happened. A loud bang; a gunshot. An intense sharp pain coming from her body. Her legs went weak. Dizziness hit her like a ton bricks as she collapses to the floor. Elisa was losing consciousness and fast. Slowly her eyes began to close. The last thing she saw was Broadway calling her name, having a worried look on his face before darkness took over.

End Flashback…

It was the last thing she remembered. The next thing she knew she woke up at the hospital with her mother, father, and brother surrounding her. When they left, Goliath and Broadway enter her room to check up on her. She couldn't help but smile at those two. Broadway told her what happened and felt so guilty about everything. But Elisa didn't blame him. After all it was her fault for leaving her gun out in the open. And Broadway didn't know it was loaded, heck he didn't know to use it. It just went off. It was an accident and was a lesson learned for the both of them. Broadway made a promise that he will never touch another gun again. As dawn approached Goliath promised her that they will see her again later that night as he stroked the side of her face. She couldn't help but smile at Goliath when he did that.

Elisa opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. Goliath did kept his promise and visit her later that night. He even brought the rest of the clan with her, well all except one; Broadway. Goliath had sent him to get the other but when they got to her room Brooklyn told her that Broadway had to do something and will see her tomorrow. Elisa was a little suprised by it but decided that he must be doing something important. 'Oh well, I see him tomorrow night. No worries.' She thought. Then the next night came and went. There was no sign of him. Then another night came and went. And then another and another. The next thing she knew a week and a half flew by and not once has Broadway visited her. 'Does he still think I blame him for what happened? It was an accident after all. I don't blame him one bit.' Elisa then remembered something. The night before last, she told Goliath that she was going home and he couldn't be happier. He promised her that the clan will be at her apartment to celebrate. 'I wonder why Broadway going to come see me tonight.'

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a knock on her door, "Ms. Maza."

"Come in." She said as she slowly sat up on her bed as the doctor came in.

"Good evening Ms. Maza. How are you feeling today?" The doctor asked.

"I'm fine, a little bit of pain and soreness but fine. I'm more excited about going home tonight." She said with a smile.

The doctor couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, I would be too after being here for two weeks. And don't worry; your soreness will go away within another week." Elisa frowned at that statement. She didn't like the fact that she was going to be sore for another week.

"Now than before you leave I need to check your wounds." The doctor walked up to her as Elisa loosens her grown a bit. The doctor first checks the wound she has on her chest. After making sure everything was fine the doctor then moved to the other wound on her lower back. Satisfied with how her wounds are healing he closed up her grown.

"Alright Ms. Maza your wounds are healing very nicely." The doctor was pleased to see that her wounds were healing as well as it was. He knew the hell she and her body went through during the 10 hours of surgery. The last thing she needed were infection on the wounds.

"I'm glad to hear. So can I go now?" She said with a smile.

"Haha, of course you can leave. Is someone on their way to take you home?" The doctor asked.

She nodded, "My mother on her way." As if on cue the door swung open.

"Hey honey, you ready to go home now." Her mother asked.

"Oh you know it." She slowly got off the bed. She winced a bit from the pain of her body.

Diane quickly walked to Elisa's side, "Easy Elisa, you don't want to move too fast now." Diane then helped her put her clothes on. Now fully clothed Elisa was ready to leave.

"Now Ms. Maza before you leave I need to give you something." The doctor quickly left the room and returned a few seconds later with something big in his hand.

"I need you to use these crutches for two weeks. You still can't put too much weight on your body so this will help. I also don't want you to do too much too soon. Any sudden movement can cause you a great deal of pain to your body. You're body still needs a little extra time to heal. So I want you to rest as much as possible. Move slowly and don't carry anything heavy for another two weeks. Am I clear?"

She nodded in understanding, "Perfectly clear doc. Thank you." The doctor smiled and with that Elisa and her mother were out the door and headed home.
