Over the next few days, his rapid healing started to kick in.
His breaks started to heal, and his other wounds started to vanish.
Over this period of time, he was planning out how he would repay his fellow bandmates.
He thought about just getting the commander a video game, and getting the others something.
But he thought of something.
How much they had done for him.
He would need to do something special.
Something Equally special, and he also knew that this would not be easy.
Ricky came in and gave the injured birdman a bowl of soup.
Eaglebones took it gratefully, and sipped at it savouring it as much as he could.
He couldn't say a lot for intelligence , but he had to admit, Ricky was a good cook.
Eaglebones finally got up the confidence to ask Ricky what he could do to make it up to him.
"Ricky, i have something to ask" He said, cautiously.
Ricky turned around to face Bones, and gave him a curious look.
"All this, that you've done, how could i make it up to you" Bones said.
Ricky thought, smiled, and shrugged.
"Well, Bones, your my friend. You don't have to make it up to me. What are friend for?" Ricky replied.
Eaglebones smiled, but a cut on his cheek made him scowl with pain, but he just laughed afterwards.
The next day, Jimmy was alone with Eaglebones to change his bandages.
As he unwrapped the cast around his ankle, he saw that Bones looked like he wanted to say something.
"Everything Okay?" Asked Jimmy, smiling at the injured bat.
Eaglebones gave the robot a small smile, so as not to affect the injury on his face.
"Jimmy...I've been wondering..." he paused "Everything you've done for me, what can i do to repay you?"
Jimmy gave him a smile, as if he had said something dumb.
"Eaglebones, don't worry about it. I mean, that's what friends are for, right?" Jimmy replied.
But this wasn't good enough for Eaglebones.
