Chapter 6: At Home

Cam came back in, followed by a nurse with a wheelchair.  "Ready to go?"

"Yeah," Hunter answered, sliding from the bed into the wheelchair with Blake's assistance.

Hunter got into the backseat, his long legs on the seat, his head resting against the headrest.  Blake was turned around in his seat, watching his brother on the ride back to Ninja Ops.  Once inside, Blake guided Hunter to the room they shared.  When Hunter was in his bed, lying on his side, Blake went into the kitchen to start Hunter's breakfast.

While Blake was out, Cam and Sensei came in.

"How are you feeling, Hunter?" Sensei asked.

"Better than before.  I'll be back to normal in a few days."

"Your version of normal, anyway," Cam quipped.

"Face it, you like my version," Hunter replied, yawning.

"Or so you think," Cam said, smiling fondly as he watched Hunter's eyes drift closed. 

Cam pulled the blanket up to Hunter's throat, then turned and followed his father out of the room.  Once Cam was back in front of his computer, his father jumped onto the area next to the keyboard.

"And I thought if someone was going to almost die, it would be because of Lothor," Cam said, his father nodding.

"And we all have learned an important lesson," Sensei added.

"What's that?"

"That Lothor is not the only source of danger in our lives."

"But did we have to learn it the hard way?"

"How else could we have learned it, Cam?"

"Sometimes I hate it when you're right," Cam sighed, turning his attention back to the Zords.

Blake woke Hunter up for breakfast.  "French toast.  Bro, you must love me," Hunter said when he saw what Blake had prepared for him.

"You know it," Blake replied.

It was a quiet day in Ninja Ops.  Tori, Shane and Dustin came in, not only to train, but to check on the Bradley brothers.  

"So much for a relaxing day at the park," Hunter said as Blake sat on the bed that he was lying on and the Winds sat on Blake's bed.

"How about a relaxing day at the beach?" Tori suggested.

Hunter groaned softly, burying his face into his pillow.  Blake smiled, placing a hand on his brother's shoulder.

"I think right now, bro just wants a relaxing day in bed," Blake said.  "Uh, bro.  You may want to move.  You can't be breathing well through that pillow."

Blake felt Hunter shift, then saw that his brother was lying on his side again with his eyes closed.

"Sleep?" Blake asked, and when Hunter didn't answer, he knew the answer.

"We should get to training," Shane said, standing, followed by Tori and Dustin.

Blake stayed with Hunter, reading while his brother slept.  He didn't read much though, he mainly just watched Hunter sleep. 

*Three Days Later*

"C'mon bro, they're waiting," Hunter said, leaning against the doorframe to their room.

"I'm almost ready," Blake replied, shoving a towel into his backpack.  "You got everything?"

"No Blake, I just want to leave without half the stuff I need," Hunter said.

Blake cast a glare at Hunter, then smiled.

"What?" Hunter asked.

"Just enjoying the moment," Blake answered, turning his attention back to his backpack.  "I'm ready."

"Let's go!" Hunter said, leading the way to the door to Ninja Ops.

"You got your pen-thingie?" Blake asked, pausing by their door.

"Right here," Hunter said, taking it out of his pocket, tapping his brother's head with it.

"Alright! Let's get to the beach!" Dustin said, leading the group of six from Ninja Ops.
