*Thoughts*
Hanzo awoke to the sounds of machines right next to him. He felt something on his face of what felt like an oxygen mask and what seemed like four heavy objects next to him. He slowly opened his eyes, blinking rapidly from the bright lights. He found himself in a hospital bed with wires on him and IVs sticking into him. He also saw all four kids sleeping next to him. Cassie and Jacqui were sleeping on either sides of the bed next to his chest while Takeda and Kung Jin were sleeping also on either sides of the bed but next to his stomach. Hanzo smiled at the sight, seeing how cute they were curled up next to him. However, he frowned when he noticed tear stains on the children's faces.
"You were dead you know." Hanzo heard someone speaking and he tensed, ready to defend the children. "Relax, Hanzo. You are safe now. We brought you back to the Special Forces headquarters and got your injuries treated." Kuai Liang emerged from the shadows, looking serious.
Hanzo relaxed seeing that him being tense seemed to disturb the kids, "What do you mean I was dead?" Sub-zero gave a huge sigh. "Dead. As in your heart stopped. It took the medical team ten minutes to bring you back with all the equipment and medical supplies they have. The kids were unharmed but definitely shaken and it didn't help them seeing you dead." "Dead… I was dead." Hanzo thought speechless. "We took the kids away from the scene when you were being revived but they struggled a lot and cried, wanting to be next to you. They were terrified, Hanzo. More terrified than when they were captured by Quan Chi. You've been in a coma for the past five days and during that time, the kids kept on having nightmares to the point that they wouldn't want to sleep. Turns out they could only sleep free of nightmares if they slept next to you."
Hanzo's heart broke for these kids. To see him dead and possibly catching a few glimpses of the entire commotion when he was being revived along with the nightmares they experienced every night was not what these kids had to go through.
"I'll leave you be for now with the kids. They really need your comfort Hanzo." As Kuai Liang was about to step out of the room, Hanzo whispered his thanks, "I do not like you Kuai Liang nor do I like the Lin Kuei… but thank you. If it wasn't for your plan, we wouldn't have gotten the kids back." Kuai Liang nodded and left the room.
Hanzo decided to let the kids sleep for a little while longer, noticing the dark shadows under their eyes. Soon, he too dozed off, still exhausted from his injuries. Cassie was the first to wake up among the four children and looked at Hanzo only to be shocked seeing him awake and smiling at her. Tears started streaming down her face and with a cry, she hugged him tightly. The other three children were awoken to Cassie's cries only to meet a smiling Hanzo. They too cried and hugged him tightly.
Hanzo hugged them all close to him as all four children cried their hearts out, their tears staining the bandages wrapped around his chest and stomach. "Mr. Hanzo! We were so scared! We thought that… thought that… you left us forever!" Hanzo merely smiled "Ssshhh. I'm here, I'm here. I'm so sorry for scaring you like that. I'm not going to leave you guys. I couldn't leave my family now could I."
Eyes widened, all four kids looked at Hanzo. "We're your family?" Jacqui curiously asked while wiping the tears from her eyes. "Yes. You four are my new family. You four have slowly become my four children. My son, my wife and my clan will never be forgotten but you four have become my new family even though we are not related by blood. You all became my family."
All four children cried. Hanzo had become another father to them and to hear him say that they became his new family just made them very happy. All four children cried themselves to sleep but just before sleep took them, they sleepily told Hanzo that all four of them love him. Hanzo, his heart full of love for all four children, merely hugged them closer to him and as the children were about to doze off, they heard him say those words that they would cherish forever, "I love you all too, my beloved children."
