For those of you who skipped the last chapter, Beca basically got her ass beat by the Green Goblin and Chloe found her half dead :) Enjoy!

Beca wasn't lucid again until late into Sunday afternoon. She awoke covered in layers of blanket and still freezing cold. Her entire body felt like it was covered in sweat and her clothes had been changed. She was wearing sweats and a sports bra. Her stomach, arms, and legs had been wrapped with gauze and bandages with blood seeping through. Her brain was covered in all types of fog and it took her a while to even open her eyes. All she could think about was the fact that she was freezing and the more she tried to hug the blankets, the colder she felt. She was dizzy and her chest felt tight. Her throat was dry. Her entire body felt like it was throbbing with pain and each time she moved pain shot through her.

"Try not to move." The voice was calming to Beca, just as it always had been. She still couldn't open her eyes but Chloe's voice was unmistakable. Beca relaxed her shoulders and tried to stay still, but her breathing was ragged and shallow. She felt like she couldn't speak. "Beca? Are you awake? Can you hear me?" She did her best to nod as an answer, "Becs, I need to change your dressing."

That's when it all came flooding back. The fight, being Spider-Girl, bleeding out in the alleyway… Chloe. A stream of panic and shock rushed through her body and despite all of her injuries, Beca sprung into a sit-up position in the bed and opened her eyes, "Chl-Chloe!" She was in Chloe's room, in the dark, and Chloe was pulling out a new wrap from a huge first aid kit. As soon as Beca sat up, Chloe was by her side.

"Beca lay down. You're going to make it worse." Chloe's hand was warm on her shoulder and Beca couldn't help but give in to Chloe's demand. It was a demand after all. Her voice was stern and unlike Chloe's normal tone. It was strong and filled with worry and fear and if Beca could guess, anger.

"Chloe, I-" It was hard to form sentences as intense throbbing coursed through her system.

"Hush, you need to rest." Chloe soothed.

"Is she awake?" The voice was new and brought the tenseness back to her muscles. It was Aubrey. Beca heard the door close and looked over to see her blonde friend approaching the bed with folded arms. Chloe only nodded in response and went back to the first aid kit. Aubrey approached and sat next to Chloe in the other chair next to her bed, "Hey, Beca, how're you feeling?" When Beca didn't respond she continued, "I guess that's a stupid question. You gave us quite the scare." Talking was helping her calm down, but inside she was still panicking. Chloe Beale knew she was Spider-Girl. Was she mad? Pissed? If it were Beca, she'd be pissed.

Chloe put her supplies on the end table next to the bed, then gazed up at Beca and their eyes met for the first time since Beca woke up - for the first time that Chloe knew everything about her. Beca tried to analyze them while she had the chance. She wanted to desperately know what Chloe was thinking, but Chloe hardly gave her the opportunity. The redhead blinked and looked down at the floor, "I'm going to change your dressings." Beca only nodded in response and Chloe pulled the blanket down. The air was even colder than before and she shivered. Goosebumps covered her skin as Chloe took off the bandage on her stomach and Beca pushed herself up on her elbows to watch. It hurt to sit up, but she wanted to know what was going on. Her stomach was covered in bruises and beneath the bandages was a gash right above her ribs, "You shouldn't sit like that. You broke two ribs the other night."

Beca nearly choked on the words, "The other night?" Had she really been asleep for almost two days? This time, her voice came out stronger.

"It's Sunday, Beca." Aubrey confirmed, "It's been two days." Beca sneered as Chloe began to clean up the gash. She always hated doctors. She looked away and noticed her suit, like an elephant in the room, was covered with holes and folded up on Chloe's desk across the room.

"Fuck."

Aubrey handed Chloe the new bandages as she finished up cleaning, "The Bellas think you're really sick. It's not exactly a lie, but it explains your absence this weekend." Beca watched Chloe's eyes at Aubrey continued. The way she didn't look up or recognize the conversation told Beca that she really was mad, "Jesse came to see you," Chloe winced at his name and Beca felt an extra pain shoot through her stomach, "and Amy checked in from time to time. We didn't want to look like we were all hiding something so they didn't stay." Beca nodded. At very least, Spider-Girl hadn't been completely destroyed in one night. Chloe finished with her stomach and gave her back the blanket. The redhead moved on to checking her arm bandages. Beca winced again at the change of pace and Aubrey took notice, "I'm gonna go find a pain killer."

She left and Beca watched the door close. Once it shut, she looked back at Chloe and noticed the paleness of her own arm. The nightmare of Friday night danced across her thoughts and made her soreness all the more apparent.

"Chloe, I-" Her voice was raspy and she tried to clear her throat.

"Don't."

She had imagined this scenario over and over again and not a single one of those times did she imagine it would happen like this. Chloe let out a frustrated sigh as she rebandaged one of the wounds on her arm, "I found you in a fucking alley, Beca." Beca didn't often hear Chloe cuss or use her full name and the sound of rolling off Chloe's tongue made Beca's stomach churn, "I had to find out that you were Spider-Girl when you were laying in a pool of fucking blood." She was spitting out the words and her eyes were wide. Beca flinched as Chloe cleaned a wound on her shoulder, "And you're so fucking lucky I didn't take you to the hospital because I didn't want my best friend arrested for vigilantism. And you're even luckier that one of your fucking abilities is healing, otherwise, you'd be in a lot more pain. So I dragged you back here wh-where" She laughed almost hysterically, "Where I find out that this isn't just some Beca Mitchell secret that she kept because she can't open up to anyone, nope, it's not. Because Aubrey knows and Amy knows and fucking Jesse knows. This is just once again another secret that Beca chose to keep from ME and only me." Chloe threw off her medical gloves. Her voice was all of a sudden quieter when she said, "I thought we were best friends. What the hell happened to us this year?"

"Chlo, I was going to tell you, I just-"

"Don't give me that, Beca," She shook her head, "I don't want to hear it." Chloe put her face in her hands. Beca sat up and slung her feet off the edge of the bed, the pain apparent in her face, "Beca you need to lay down,"

"I'm fine," Beca tried to assure her, but with no avail.

More silence passed between them and Beca could see the way Chloe's emotions had been building since Friday night. This was an explosion that had been waiting for Beca to wake up and she knew she deserved it. When Chloe backed away, she looked into Beca's eyes and Beca searched them for what Chloe was trying to say. "I, uh," Chloe started to cry and tried to pretend she wasn't, "I'm going to go." Before Beca could register the words, Chloe was up and headed to the door.

"Chlo, wait." Beca hardly thought about what she was doing when she stood on her feet and slung a web across the room to help pull her closer to Chloe. At the sight of the web on the wall in front of her, Chloe stopped and turned to Beca, who was now standing inches away from her.

Chloe stared at the web, "I kissed you," she whispered as she had just realized that when she kissed Spider-Girl, she kissed Beca. In fact, it sounded more like a confirmation to herself rather than saying it to Beca, "I kissed you." She repeated, "and you lied straight to my face for months Becs." Her shoulders slouched.

Tears began to stream down Chloe's face and for the first time Beca noticed that Chloe's face had already been puffy and red from crying, Beca took a step toward her best friend but found herself wobbling instead. "Beca-"

"It's okay," Beca said, but the cut on her stomach was already bleeding again.

"No, it's not," Chloe said, watching the blood seep through. Beca reached a hand out to comfort her, but Chloe flinched away. She wiped the tears away and swallowed. A moment of thick silence passed between them before Chloe's stern voice came back, "If you don't lay down and just... let me take care of you then I will take you to the hospital and have you admitted." The threat in her voice was obvious and Beca knew she was serious. Chloe wrapped an arm around Beca's waist and Beca placed a hand on Chloe's neck. Slow and steady, Chloe walked her back to the bed and Beca tried not to wince as they walked, "Are you okay?"

Beca sighed and stopped walking, "Chloe, I'm so sorry."

Chloe paid attention to every detail of Beca's face for signs of pain and a true apology, then said, "We can talk about it later," She sighed, "Right now, you need to focus on getting better. Can we do that?" Beca hesitated, but in the end, gave in. She let Chloe lead her back to the bed and laid down, "Can you stay in bed now?" She asked and Beca stared at her, "Please, for me?"

Beca swallowed, her eyes watching Chloe's. It seemed at all of the anger she had before, faded at the thought of Beca being in pain. Chloe took Beca's silence as confirmation, knowing that Beca would never vocalize a plea for help. The redhead slowly picked up the blankets and wrapped Beca back up. Chloe mouthed a Thank you as Aubrey walked back in with a loud sounding bottle that could only be the pain killers she had promised. Chloe grabbed a drink of water from the end table and Beca took the pills from Aubrey. The brunette downed a few pills with the whole cup of water, finally quenching the thirst she had woken up with. And with each movement she made, she knew she was in for a long road of recovery.
