Duke softly shook the sleeping teenager. Dive moaned and opened one eye. He was surprised to find Duke standing over him. "What's wrong?" Dive panicked.

"Shh, shh, shh, calm down kid," Duke soothed in a soft voice. "Wing wants to see you."

Nosedive sat up and let the older mallards words sink in. Wing wanted to see him? He? Nosedive? His little annoying brother who, just a day, or was it two, ago said that he wished he was dead? Had Wing forgiven him for his harsh words?

"Kid?"

"I heard you Duke. How is he?"

Duke sighed heavily. "Come on kid. He's waiting."

The two ducks headed to the infirmary in silence. Nosedive looked over at Duke as they walked and noticed that Duke's hair was limp and disheveled. Huge bags were under his eye and he looked like he had been through a thousand saurian invasions.

The doors of the infirmary slid opened with a hiss. Dive stepped into the room to find Tanya, Grin, Mallory and Captain Kleghorn standing around one of the medicom beds. Mal looked up and over to the newcomers. Her eyes were red and swollen from all the tears she had cried. Nosedive took a step back and bumped into Duke. He cast the older mallard a skeptical look. Duke held his hand out to encourage Dive to step forward. Dive shook his head no and tried to take another step backwards. Duke gently shoved him forward and again held his hand out indicating Dive to keep going. Dive stumbled forward, turned to give Duke a hurt look, and slowly walked forward with Duke mimicking his every inch forward. Dive came to a halt next to the others, but Duke motioned toward the bed. Nosedive nervously stepped towards the occupied bed. He was afraid of what he would find. Images of Wing after the car accident flashed through his mind. All the emotions of nearly loosing his brother flooded his mind. Wing had been on his deathbed then, there was no way Wing would be going through this again. Dive suddenly wished Canard was there. Canard had helped him through the last traumatizing event. Dive felt hopeless. He couldn't do anything. Why was this happening to him again? Why Wing? Why? Why?! WHY?!

There was no way Wing could have been any worse then after the accident. Dive closed his eyes and made it to the foot of the bed. He opened his eyes and looked at his brother. He quickly closed them and took in a deep breath. It WAS worse. He was hooked up to a ventilator, IV's, and a heart rate monitor. Tubes and wires were sticking out of every inch of his brother's battered body. Nosedive couldn't bear to see his brother in this state. How could he look him in the eye and tell him everything would be all right? Instead of looking him in the eyes, he looked at his legs. The swelling on his knee was noticeable through the sheets, and he thought that he could make out a large bruise.

"Dive."

Dive looked up quickly and saw Wing looking at him. Wing was awake? He looked worse then after the car accident, how could he be awake? Wing struggled to lift his hand from the bed and extend it towards his younger brother. "Dive," Wing repeated in a hoarse whisper.

Dive rushed to Wing's side and took his hand. "I'm right here bro. Don't worry Wing, you're going to be okay."

"Dive," Wildwing started to say, but a coughing fit over took him and he had to turn away from Dive. Tanya, who was standing on the other side of the bed, held out a cloth to Wing, and he spit something bloody into it. Tanya quickly threw it away to prevent Dive from seeing it. Dive looked at Tanya, but she wouldn't look at him. Her actions told him that he didn't want to know what was in the cloth. Wildwing sucked in a deep breath with much trouble before he continued. "I'm sorry, Dive."

"What for Wing? You're going to be okay. If anyone should be sorry it should be me. I'm the one who"

"Dive, please," Wildwing said feebly. "Let me finish."

Nosedive looked at his brother before nodding. Wildwing closed his eyes and took in another painful breath. "I'm sorry Dive. Please forgive me." He took another small gasp of air. "I tried. Really I did." He wheezed again. "Dive promise me that you'll never forget"

"Wing what are you talking about?"

"I love you Dive."

"I love you too big brother."
