Sydney opened her eyes, surprised that she was laying in bed. She rubbed
her forehead before checking her surroundings.
She was in a hospital, obviously. The whiteness of the room, and the equipment proved that. She heard a murmur to her left, and she turned to see that Will was in the bed next to her.
"Will!" She shrieked, sitting up.
Will rolled on to his side, to face Sydney.
"Sydney?" Will said breathlessly. Her eyes filled with tears as she saw his head and the bandages.
"You were really shot," Sydney says, in a quiet voice.
"I-I.. Know..." said Will, remembering what he had wanted to say to her.
"Do you remember who by?"
Will nodded, weakly.
"I know aswell, Will" she said to him.
Will blinked at her. "And-and, what happened?"
"You were doing some very bad things Will, it wasn't his fault." Sydney said.
Will remained silent.
"You probbaly dont remember, but, you were under someone else's control. You were going to shoot Vaughn yourself, if he hadnt...."
"I bet he told you that, Sydney, didnt he?" Will said, angrilly.
"No..." Sydney said, shaking her head.
"Right between the eyes, how ironic is that. He could have just shot me in the shoulder or something!!"
"Will..." Sydney whispered.
"Dont tell me it was because he had too. The intent was to kill me, and he almost succeeded."
Sydney shook her head at him and tears dribbled down her eyes.
"It was a lucky shot" she tried to assure him.
The nurse bumbled in at that moment, and then smiled as she saw that her patient was awake now.
"Miss Bristow, good to see you're awake!" she said, in a cheery voice. "I've brought you some breakfast, and something to read." She said, handing her a tray and the newspaper.
The nurse turned around and then looked at Will. "The other nurse will bring some food in for you momentarily."
Sydney replied with a small thank you and then unfolded the newspaper.
"SD-6 Takedown" The headlines read.
Sydney's heart stop beating (or at least it felt like it).
She gave Will a frazzled look. "They've been taken down Will!" she said.
Will grunted at her, not knowing what she was talking about. "Who?"
Sydney just shook her head at him. She lay back on the bed. She wasn't going to explain it to him, at least not yet.
"You look happy" Will observed.
"I am Will" she said, turning her head towards him. "I have a man who loves me, a great friend like you, and no more worries from now on."
"A great friend?" Will listened. "You mean that.. I mean, I doubted you just a few minutes ago about your boyfriend."
Sydney was silent for a moment.
"Well.. I am sorry. Does this mean that I'm forgiven?"
Sydney nodds, smiling. She was happy not to hold anything against him.
"Wait.." she said to herself. She remembered Irina. They had been at the airport, and Vaughn was there too.
"Oh my god!" Sydney shrieked "Where's Vaughn!?"
She knocked the juice on her breakfast tray over. She attempted to mop it up with a serviette.
Will sighed and looked at Sydney earnestly. "He's fine, Syd, he's fine."
Sydney relaxed for a moment.
"Speak of the devil" said Will, as Vaughn entered the room.
"Mr Tippin, I really hope you aren't holding too many grudges against me," he said, bringing in some flowers for Sydney.
Sydney smiled as she looked at the beautiful arrangement.
"You're alive... and you're here" she noted.
Vaughn nodded. "I would have come earlier," then he glanced at Will "But there were certain reasons regarding our work."
Sydney smiled. "We can really be seen together now," she said, quietly.
Vaughn took her hand in his own.
"I have a few questions, Vaughn..."
Vaughn gazed in to her eyes. He knew what the question was.
"Sydney..." he breathed.
"Vaughn, please tell me what happened...."
((Author's Note: You guys are silly, thinking I would ever even CONSIDER killing Vaughn. I dont LIKE causing pain and suffering for my characters so I try to take it away much as possible.. so no way would I kill Vaughn))
