Rena awoke to the sound of machines beeping beside her head. She sighed softly and opened her eyes to be once again greeted with the too bright hospital lights that woke her every morning.
It had been just a few hours since she had escaped and ran to the café. In that time, she hadn't seen anyone since she'd been bundled into the back of the ambulance. She'd fought tooth and nail to see a familiar face, but with no such luck. The doctors were furious that she'd managed to escape and she was now under closer surveillance. Eventually, she'd just given into sleep instead of trying to get even the tiniest scrap of information.
So when she awoke to find Hiro curled up into a wooden chair next to her bed, one arm in a sling and a neat line of stitches running across his cheek, it was no surprise that she burst into tears right then and there.
His leg was bandaged and one of his eyes was black. She could see lines of stitches poking it out from under his sleeve and on his cheek. He was curled in the chair awkwardly, wearing the same hoodie she remembered him wearing yesterday.
And it all came flooding back. Her in the kitchen. Tadashi. Broken glass. Death threats. Her stomach twisted and a fresh wave of tears found their way down her exhausted face. Death threats. Deep down, she knew who they were for. But as she looked upon the tiny figure in the wooden chair, she didn't have the heart to believe it.
She cleared her throat and dabbed at her tears with the edge of her covers. The small movements sent waves of pain down her arms and she winced before reaching over and increasing the morphine dosage. Sitting back and waiting for the drugs to do their thing, she fumbled around in the semi-darkness for her phone and grabbed it from the bedside table. A Twitter notification flashed up on her screen and she swiped across immediately after reading the name.

Hi, I didn't have your number but you mentioned your Twitter handle a bit ago. Are you okay? How's your family? The cafe? I've been constantly refreshing the news every 5 minutes but there's not been that many updates :(
Rena gave a watery smile at the message. Bless him.
rennnnnaaa renaisboring

He responded almost immediately

RENA! I'm so glad you're okay holy shit! Honestly it was no bother at all, I'm just glad that everyone's alright.
rennnnnaaa renaisboring
yeah :)
pretty weird that someone would want to hold a cafe at gunpoint tho. when i was there it literally seemed like it was the whole street but we got hit worst?
Caine! CaineWithAC
Yeah that is pretty suspicious? I hope the police catch the bastards!
rennnnnaaa renaisboring
yeah. me too.
Rena sighed and placed the phone back onto the table, not bothering to check for any texts or calls. Besides, if she was going to receive any bad news, she'd rather have it in person.
Just when she was considering waking Hiro up herself, he stirred. Rena sat up as he did, coughing and wincing with his newly acquired injuries. For a second, they simply sat there staring at one another.
'You've been crying.' He remarked hoarsely, looking away and absent-mindedly picking at his stitches.
'Don't pick at them. Who knows where your hands have been.'
Hiro gave a small smile. 'Okay Tadashi.'
The only thing that puntuated the silence was the beeping of the moniters and the slow dripping of the drugs being pumped into Rena's system. She glanced at the cannula in her hand. So much had changed in just a couple of weeks.
She sniffed and stretched her arms out. Without a word from either of them, he slowly stood and limped towards the bed. Hiro collapsed onto the side and Rena wrapped an arm around his shoulder, leaning her head on his hair.
'What happened there?' She asked, gesturing to the bandage on his leg.
Hiro sighed. 'Cut it in some glass.'
'Oh.'
'Yeah.'
Rena had a million other questions, but decided not to bombard him with all of them. 'Are you okay?' She asked instead.
Hiro sniffed and wiped a tear away from his eye. 'Yeah. I think. It... it was a lot.'
'Yeah I can imagine. Where are the others?'
'Uhh, Honey Lemon and Fred went home I think, they were okay. Although I think Fred needed stitches? I think Gogo broke something and Wasabi was out cold when I last saw him. Aunt Cass is mostly okay, just a bit shaken up. Tadashi... I think he got stabbed?'
'STABBED?' Rena yelped, startling Hiro.
'I don't think it was that bad! I don't... I don't remember that much.'
Rena remembered the dark patch on her older brother's arm and felt sick. 'Jesus.'
'Yeah. It was horrible.'
Rena felt another tear escape and hugged her brother tighter. The death threats. Was it from the same people? We're they aiming to kill? She was in disbelief that Tadashi had kept it from her for so long, but a part of her was relieved that he finally trusted her enough to tell her. Had he told Hiro? She had a nasty feeling that this had a lot to do with him.
For a long time, they both sat in silence. All these thoughts were turning in Rena's head. How much danger were they in? Or was this all just a coincidence? What the hell did Hiro do? Was this even about him? Or was this about Callaghan?
'Rena?'
'Yeah?'
'We'll be okay... right?'
She waited a long time before answering.
'Yeah. We'll be okay.'
