As soon as they got Elle back to headquarters and had her safely settled into bed in the med lab, Zed had insisted that Kay go back to his room and get some rest. As far as he knew, Kay hadn't slept since Elle had been injured. Once in his rooms, Kay couldn't stand the idea of sleeping, though. Not with Elle laying down there in the med lab, hurt and alone. He quickly showered and changed clothes before leaving again.
A little while later, Kay came into Elle's room with his arms full of flowers, a rainbow a roses. He moved around the room setting the flowers up in various places so that Elle would be able to see something cheerful when she woke up. Jay had remembered to bring the flowers he had got her at the hospital back with them, he noticed, along with the MiB bear that was tucked securely into bed next to Elle.
He had just sat down beside her and taken her hand in his when the door opened and Zed came in.
"I thought that I told you to go to bed and get some sleep," the head of MiB said as he glanced at the door. What was holding Jay up with that gift?
"Couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about her. What have the doctors said?" Kay asked as he carefully stroked her fingers.
"She'll be fine. She just needs a lot of rest right now," Zed said just as the door came open and Jay came staggering in trying to hold onto a giant handful of helium balloons, at least twelve huge balloons in bright colors with cheerful get well messages plastered on them.
"I hope no one else in the city is sick right now," Jay chuckled as he moved around the room tying the balloons to various objects with Zed's help.
The last balloon had just been fastened when Kay suddenly felt pressure on his fingers. He looked down to find Elle had opened her good eye a tiny bit and was looking up at them.
"You're going to be fine," he reassured her, gently stroking her forehead. At least her face wasn't tormented and full of pain this time. "Just rest now. We'll take good care of you."
