They had heard the crash from inside the house and ran out to see what happened. When they saw a yellow car overturned in the intersection, Lily, Casey, Bruce, Heather and Greg all felt a lump rise up in their throats.

"Dani!" Greg shouted as he stepped forward, about to run towards the crash when Bruce grabbed his shirt, holding him back.

Suddenly, the group of five turned around, shielding their eyes and ears as a loud explosion sounded.

Greg turned back to the scene, his jaw hitting the floor. He looked over at Bruce.

"If you're going to die, I'd rather it be by my hands," he growled. He turned to his Aunt, but saw Lily was already on the phone with Ronny. Casey had the hospital on his line, waiting for the OK to hang up.

"They're on their way," Casey nodded. "It should be a few minutes."

Before anyone knew it, there was a long yellow streak along the street, stopping right in front of Lily. The cheetah dropped her phone at the surprise and looked up at her sister.

"Down there," Lily pointed to the intersection. "But I wouldn't go there if I were you. It's..."

Ronny turned around, spotting the accident. Her jaw dropped as she gasped. Flashes from her own car accident were going through her head as she stood frozen. Lily grabbed her sister's hand, holding it gently.

"Ronny, are you okay?"

Before Lily could get an answer, Ronny ran off, towards the accident.

"Aunt Ronny!" Bruce called, taking off after his Aunt. Ronny wasn't using her super speed to run, so Bruce caught up to her before she got too far. He grabbed her, pulling her back to the group and holding her tight.

The ambulance arrived not long after that as the paramedics rushed to the scene. All the others could do was watch as they took Dani away.

-----Afterlife-----

"Did you hear?" Samantha asked, placing Engel on the ground as she walked into her sister's house. "Daniela's in the hospital."

Hayden and Dawn looked away from the T.V.

"What happened?" Hayden asked, leaning forward.

"I got a call from Heather," Samantha said. "There's no point in going to visit. She's not conscious, but she's letting us know that the wedding might be delayed."

"Delayed?" Dawn frowned, "It's not for another two weeks."

"What happened?" Hayden asked again.

"There was an accident," Samantha answered. "Dani was the only driver on the scene. Until she wakes up, we won't be able to figure out what happened."

Dawn and Hayden exchanged looks. Not too long ago, they had seen a man walking around Dani's car. He hadn't seemed like the nicest person around.

"Did you check Dani's car?" Hayden asked. "There was a guy creeping around her car when we went to walk Braveheart."

"Apparently the car's destroyed," Samantha said, "There was a huge explosion. Even if someone tampered with the car, there would be no way we could figure that out until Dani's wakes up."

"Well, at least he can't escape the country or the city," Dawn shrugged.

"He could go to NewTech," Hayden frowned. "But... I guess everyone would know when he transferred over. Kira keeps tabs on everyone."

"What about the other driver?" Dawn asked, turning to Samantha.

Samantha shrugged, "I already said Dani was the only driver."

"And her car flipped?" Hayden frowned. "If she was the only driver, then the other car had to of been parked. If she hit another car, which I don't think Dani would ever do, her car wouldn't have the momentum to flip... or even sway... right?"

"It would take a lot of talent," Dawn nodded.

"So the other person must have run away!" Hayden cried out. Engel looked up at her Aunt, seeing the distress. She got up to her feet and walked over, hugging her Aunt's legs gently. Hayden grabbed the little girl, bringing her up on lap and holding her close. "We can't let them get away!"

"What are we going to do?" Dawn asked her cousin. "We have no idea who did this."

"The man," Hayden said. "The man around Dani's car. We find him and get our answers."

"Okay, where are we going to find him," Samantha said, leaning before her sister and looking in her eyes. "Hayden, just let the police deal with this."

"The police?" Dawn frowned. "Okay, Sammy, I don't know how the hell we're going to help, but if this guy was good enough to take out a professional driver with a car, and send a Ranger to the hospital with one good hit, I don't think this is police work."

"We have to go find Dani," Hayden said, hopping off her couch and putting Engel back on the floor.

"And do what?" Samantha asked.

"Save her!"

"The doctors already have it under control, Hayden," Samantha said. "You can't keep tampering with their work. What if Dani was the only driver? What if this was all just a freak accident?"

"What if it wasn't?" Hayden asked.

"What if someone made this happen? What if someone poisoned her to get her to crash... or something? If you heal her we'll never find out. You have to let her wake up on her own."

"What if she dies?" Hayden frowned.

"We have to let the doctors deal with this," Samantha breathed. "We're not RPM anymore, Hayden. We're done with that. We can't go using our powers every time there's a little problem."

"But I can help..."

"No," Samantha growled, grabbing her sister's arm when Hayden tried to go for the door. "Your powers enable you to heal, not the entire of the world. Let the doctors do their job, and let the police figure this out. Dani's a fighter, she'll get through it."

Hayden glared at her sister hatefully before letting out an annoyed sigh. She ran for the stairs.

"If she dies, her blood's going to be on your hands," she growled.

Samantha dropped her head back, sighing loudly. Until they knew what had caused the accident, if it was Dani herself or an outside force, they couldn't let Hayden tamper with the records. Samantha didn't want to see her cousin dead, but letting life run naturally was the only way they stood a chance in figuring this out.

She turned to Dawn, hoping for a little support. Instead, her cousin got off the couch and walked over to her, hate burning in her eyes.

"I'm not letting this happen," she said, before moving for the door. Samantha's gaze followed her.

"What are you going to do?" she asked.

Dawn turned around sharply, "Right now it feels like Dani's the only one who's been a real friend. Yes she drives me crazy, but she's been looking out for me... Killer Robot or not, I owe her this."

"Where are you going?"

Dawn smirked, "I'm going to find that man."

-----Afterlife-----

Greg sat by Dani's bedside, holding her hand gently. His thumb was brushing the back of her hand softly as he stared at his fiancée. Her face had been torn apart in the explosion and was now covered in bandages, much like the rest of her body. Greg didn't want to look at her in such a state, but couldn't take his eyes away, afraid that if he looked away for just a second, he would miss something... anything.

To make matters worse on top of all the cuts, bruises and gashes, Greg couldn't find the ring. The engagement ring Dani wore to symbolise their love had disappeared in the accident. When she was brought into the ambulance the paramedics said they saw no ring on her finger. Back at the crash, while the police searched the area thoroughly for any clues, they didn't find any kind of jewellery.

It was already bad enough someone crashed their car into Dani's, ran away (which was Greg's theory on the situation), and leave her to die, but to steal her ring...

Greg let out a lour cry, dropping his head on the bed. He held Daniela's hand tighter.

The door to Daniela's room opened slowly and Bruce stepped in. He crossed his arms over his chest and cleared his throat.

Greg sat back up, glaring at the older man.

"What?" he snapped.

"You've been here all night," Bruce frowned. "The doctors said you needed to let Dani rest."

"I'm not leaving her," Greg growled, turning to look back at Dani.

"The doctor's know what's good for her," Bruce said. "If they think it's best to leave her alone, shouldn't you agree? Anything to make Dani better. That should be your focus."

Greg scoffed loudly as he got to his feet but kept hold of Dani's hand. He turned hatefully to Bruce as his eyes narrowed.

"I can't believe you're doing this now," he snarled. "Your baby cousin is lying in a hospital bed and all you care about is if I'll make a good husband?"

"I care about her health," Bruce said. "If Dani needs to be alone to heal faster then leave her alone"

"What if she doesn't want to be alone?" Greg asked. Bruce let his stance drop slowly as Greg began to scream. "I'm staying with her. No matter what. I'll be here when she wakes up."

"Look at her!" Bruce shouted, pointing to his cousin. "She's in the hospital. You're not the one calling the..."

Greg rolled his eyes, turning away from Bruce for a moment, "How can you even think about grilling me right now when Dani might not make it!"

"Is that the attitude you have?" Bruce asked. "You don't believe your wife's going to make it? You don't trust that she'll be able to fight this? Do you not see a future for the two of you?"

"Of course I do!" Greg screamed. "I've always seen it! I've known for years now that I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life. I love her, and nothing you say or do will ever take her away from me."

Bruce walked around the bed and dropped his hand on Greg's shoulder. The smaller man glared up at him courageously.

Just then, Bruce began to smile and nod. Without another word, he tapped Greg's shoulder and walked out.

Greg dropped back in his seat. He was still holding onto Daniela's hand as he watched Bruce leave. When the door shut, Greg looked to his fiancée with a smile.

To his surprise, he felt Dani squeezing his hand. His hand went to her forehead, brushing away some of the hair before he leaned over and kissed it softly. Even with the bandages keeping her from feeling him, Greg was sure that Dani knew he was there.

-----Afterlife-----

Lily watched as her sister played absent-mindedly with a little yellow race car as they waited for news about Dani. The doctor already told them they had done everything they could, and the only thing left to do was wait, but they were all still nervous.

David walked over with a tray of drinks in his hand. He offered a coffee to Casey, one to Lily, a hot chocolate to Heather, and a coffee to Ronny.

The former Overdrive Ranger looked up at her husband and shook her head. David sighed, putting his coffee and the tray down on the table.

"Ronny..." he whispered softly, making the tears in her eyes fall over. He sat beside her, grabbing her hand. "She's your daughter in every sense of the word. She'll make it through this."

Ronny's eyes strayed over to a wheelchair that had been left in the corner, "What if..."

"I'll put her through the same treatment you went through," David assured Ronny before she could get her words out.

"She'll be okay, Ronny," Casey whispered.

Lily got her from her seat and walked over to her sister. Ronny grabbed her in her arms gently and held her. It was hard for her to watch her daughter go through the same experience as her, but it must have been harder for Lily to relieve this moment again, from the same side of the hospital door.

Ronny squeezed her little sister gently, causing Lily to look up. The cheetah smiled.

"I bet she won't make it," she said. Ronny chuckled softly.

"I bet she'll be fine," she said, gently turning to David and smiling. He nodded, letting out a small laugh.
