Disclaimer: unfortunat I don't own young justice,if any of us fans did I think we'd definitely have kept the show going and let wally live on. I personally would have had more Lian scenes but unfortunately that will never happen. Anyway I dong own the characters except the doctor,but everyone else is dc.
Chapter one:
He lies hopelessly in the hospital bed. His back aching in discomfort,he'd been lying down for at least six hours in the same position. The doctors prompted him to stay as still as possible,just to make sure he is connected to the wires properly. The life monitor bleeps,and it seems to be the only noise in the room. He stares contently at the bottom of the bed.
Dinah is sitting in the chair beside him. Her hand is placed in his right hand,his left hand full of wires and needle marks. Her thumb mindlessly soothes over the top of his hand,putting him at ease slightly.
Artemis stands,leaning against the wall,staring at the wall opposite to her. Her eyes move swiftly every so often to look at the man she's cherished like a father.
She stands up straight when she sees roy arrive with a male doctor following him. She sends roy a slight smile,a small comforting one which he returns. The doctor takes a look at Oliver's notes. Before explaining to the three about Oliver's condition.
"I assume you are all family,yes?" He asks,the three nod to confirm his assumption. "Right,well,it would appear in the tests we ran that is suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This causes the alveoli and lungs to damage and in some cases scar." The doctor explained,his eyes shifting from each person as he explained.
"Is it serious?" Artemis asked. Her mind telling her it was a stupid question.
"Most definitely,but there are cures. will be under going treatments such as taking medicines like steroids and other medicines. He may also under go surgery if needed." The doctor answered.
"Surgery? What kind of surgery?" Roy asked.
"Well we would give your father a lung transplant,which is increasingly successful. In fact we will be starting his medications immediately,but in case they fail your father will be put on the transplant list."
"He's not my father." Roy answered,his tone sharp and bitter. He looked over at Oliver,his eyes softened in pain as he saw how much his adoptive father and mentor had deteriorated.
"Roy!" Dinah scolded. She sent roy a disapproving look. Squeezing Ollie's hand tightly.
"Oh,I'm sorry,I was under the impression this was your father." The doctor shyly answered.
"Roy was adopted when he was 16." Dinah informed the doctor.
"Right,it's none of my business." The doctor said,a bleep went off in his pocket alerting him he was being paged. "Well I best be going. We'll keep you up to date if anything happens." The doctor informed the three before leaving.
"Roy,don't be rude to doctor knight. He was trying to help us. I don't care if Ollie isn't your real father,he has raised you for seven years,he's the closest thing to a father you have." Dinah scolded roy as she watched him take a seat,on the other side of the bed.
"You're right. I'm-im sorry." Roy replied softly. He slouched slightly in his chair. Looking at the man who had been so kind to raise him.
Dinah was slightly taken a back by Roy's agreement,he was the sort to fight back,the fiery sort that liked debate.
"Wow,did roy just apologise." Artemis spoke teasingly. This was the first time she'd spoken since she'd arrived. She teased him to lighten the mood,which was depressingly sad.
"I am capable of apologising." Roy responded,his eyes concentrated on the life monitor. He watched the lines rise and fall,hoping they'd never go flat.
"Oh,I know that,but you're usually not sincere about it." Artemis replied. She slouched against the wall,her arms folded. She followed Oliver's gaze,curious as to what he was looking at.
"Maybe not to you." Roy finally answered. He glanced at Dinah,the woman he thought of as a mother,then glanced briefly at artemis,the annoying girl who replaced him and who he saw as a younger sister. Well she was adopted by Ollie too.
The conversation seemed to disappear after that. Everyone focusing on Ollie. He closed his eyes,tired due to all the fluids that had been pumped through his blood. His breathing was normal but over time it would become shorter and he'd be out of breath more often.
The doctor came back a few hours later. The three still there. Dinah was falling asleep in the chair. Roy was standing-leaning against the wall having gave up his seat for artemis who was extremely tired. She had been with Ollie all night. The doctor told the family that Ollie would be discharged tomorrow,where he would be sent home to be taken care of by family. The doctor would prescribe Ollie his medication and would have a home doctor visit twice every day.
After that the three decided to stay the night with him. Unfortunately,the night shift workers were strict about people staying the night and would only allow one. Roy insisted that Dinah should spend the night seeing as artemis spent the night before and that roy would be there in the morning. Dinah accepted,she wanted to spend time with the man she loved dearly,the man who was unaware of how Dinah really felt.
Roy offered artemis a lift home,but she rejected it. Zantanna- Artemis's best friend was going to give her a lift home. Zantanna was also leaving the hospital having visited her father who was suffering a brain injury.
Roy drove home alone,thoughts of Ollie clouding his mind along with feelings of guilt,worry and panic. Ollie was Roy's father. Whether it was blood or not,roy just had to realise it.
