The city of Miami was practically demolished, there was nothing visible but the remains of buildings, the crushed earth below it and a huge Evo, lying in a heap on the ground, obviously dead. Some buildings were lucky enough to be spared, still standing strongly or weakly. Six pushed himself up, observing his surroundings before pushing the small button on his communicator in his ear.
"I believe that the Evo's dead, I can't find anyone else," Six announced, receiving a fuzzy response that only he could hear. "I'll look for them," Six answered before standing up and examining his surroundings a little more intently. Finding only dead bodies, Six shook his head before pressing the button again. "I can't find them," Six announced. The voice on the other side sounded angry and distressed, obviously Holiday on the other end.
"Are you sure?" Holiday questioned, a small feeling of nausea and panic taking over. Six's response came right away and Holiday lowered her head, shaking it a few times before lifting her head again.
"Wait, I found something," Six said after a few moments of silence, lifting Holidays' hopes. Six walked over the large remains of buildings and finally stopped in front of Noah (who was still in Rex's body).
Rex slowly came to, before feeling a sharp pain in his right leg. He tried to hold back a cry of pain, but it eventually came out.
"D*mn it," Rex cursed looking over to his leg which was crushed under a wall of a collapsed edifice. Rex made an attempt to pull it out, but was scolded by another sharp pain.
Six perked at Rex's yelp and headed in his direction, deciding to check on Noah later. He spotted Rex who was trying to pry his leg from under a collapsed wall, breathing shakily from the pain.
"Noah, don't even try to," Six spoke up, catching Rex's attention even though he still wasn't really used to being called Noah. "Your leg is broken, so don't injure it more," Six continued. Realization suddenly dawned on Rex, da*m it; he had broken Noah's leg. Lucky for Six and Res, the collapsed wall wasn't too large and Six managed to lift if off of Rex's leg. "I'll get you some help, Rex's over there," Six explained before motioning over to where Noah was lying. Rex gave a weak nod, an extremely strong feeling of nausea overcoming him and before he knew it, the world went dark.

"They're gonna be okay; apart from the broken bones," Holiday announced in relief after examining some x-rays. "You guys worried me," Holiday stated, sitting down and looking at the white floor. Six sat next to her, feeling slightly sorry for Holiday; she worried about them like she was their mother, just on a lower scale.
"At least they're alive," Six simply answered in monotone, barely even moving. Holiday gave him a side glance before returning her attention to the floor.
Noah awoke with an abrupt start, pain burning from his ribs, left foot and left wrist. Noah stared up at the ceiling for a while before finally looking around to see where he was; looks like he was back in the Providence hospital wing again. Sighing quietly, Noah looked over to his right to see Rex out cold before noticing his broken leg.
"Break my leg eh?" Noah quietly mumbled before making a poor attempt at sitting up. "Heh, looks like we're even," Noah continued, figuring that he had broken some of Rex's bones as well.

"So, how ya two feelin'?" Bobo asked before setting down his hand of cards.
"Just dandy," Rex mumbled in sarcasm before setting his cards down. "Flush, can you beat that?" Rex continued. Yeah, he had broken Noah's leg, but it wasn't broken enough to end up in a wheelchair and that was a relief on Rex's half, yet, he was still stuck in crutches. Noah, Rex and Bobo were playing a game of normal poker since the monkey actually had some sympathy for his two buddies.
"Gonna tell me what happened?" Bobo asked, shuffling the deck of cards as he did so before dealing five cards out to each of them.
"Um, don't feel like it," Noah spoke up, looking at his cards before tossing two in and receiving two.
"I agree," Rex added, tossing three in and receiving the same number.
"What? It's just some broken bones, nothing special right?" Bobo urged, lifting an eyebrow at the two. Another round of the game went by and Bobo dealt five more cards. "Or did you two go off and make out?" Bobo joked with a smirk. Noah rolled his eyes and tossed in three cards. "No answers are always good," Bobo continued, leaning back in his seat with a wide smirk plastered on his face. Rex simply lifted an eyebrow and tossed in two cards, ignoring Bobo's second question. "Not very talkative today are we?" Bobo asked.
"Enough with the questions," Rex grumbled irritably, he really just felt like sleeping instead of having to deal with Bobo's questions. It was Bobo's turn to roll his eyes before gathering the cards and shuffling the deck twice.
"One question," Bobo started after three rounds of the game. "What is green man and Holiday doing?" Bobo continued, not giving Rex or Noah anytime to say 'no'.
"Probably their normal jobs, Six's lucky that he didn't break anything," Rex answered.
"Actually, green man broke his left wrist like chief did, just that he doesn't really like to show it," Bobo corrected, looking up from his cards.
After the card game, Rex and Noah had headed back to Rex's room. Rex was, again, sprawled out on the bed while Noah was stuck on the couch, again.
"Why are you always hogging the bed?" Noah questioned, his good arm hanging over the side of the couch while his arm with the bad wrist rested on his abdomen, his good leg resting on the arm rest while the injured one was resting on the other.
"Because it's my room," Rex simply answered, voice muffled since his face on the pillow. One arm was hanging over the side of the bed and the other was under the pillow, one leg bent and the broken one straight since he really didn't have a choice.
"Actually, physically, it's mine," Noah pointed out, staring up at the ceiling.
"Too bad, I've got the broken leg," Rex continued.
"Are you trying to suffocate yourself?" Noah asked, finally lifting his head from the arm rest and all Noah got was a muffled sound that sounded like a groan of irritation. "What was that?" Noah asked, just wanting to irritate his friend.
"Shut up," Came Rex's muffled reply.
"That's nice to know," Noah stated in slight satisfaction.
"Are you trying to make me hate you?" Rex spoke up; Noah could hear the joking tone in Rex's voice.
"I know you couldn't," Noah answered and got Rex to lift his head from the pillow, a smirk on his face, well, at least Noah had cheered him up in a strange way.
"Try me," Rex joked as Noah rolled his eyes.
"You're lucky that I can't run," Noah said, knowing that none of them could run in these conditions.
"Neither of us can," Rex pointed out; earning a 'well-duh-I-knew-that' look from Noah. "Whatever, I'm going to sleep if you need me," Rex continued, resting his head back down on the pillow and closing his eyes.
