I do not own the Teen Titans or anything related to them, however I do own this story and all of the non-original characters except for Isis, who I have been given permission to use by a friend of mine and all are copywrited. This means you can not copy the story or any of the characters or use them without permission from their original owners. Check out the mini-fics by my friend, Starfire Fury, called Teen Titans: Alpha Humor, they're mini-fics about these characters and they're really good and absolutely hilarious, so go read them!

Teen Titans: The Alpha Five

Taiyou – Part 2

The hospital was so bright after the darkness from the storm outside that Taiyou had to squint while his eyes adjusted. Amber was carrying Leo in her arms and after a brief word with the receptionist they were ushered to two hospital beds. As Taiyou's eyes stopped hurting from the bright light he looked over to Leo on the bed next to him.

"He's going to be ok isn't he Amber? Leo's going to be ok isn't he?" Amber just smiled comfortingly back.

"I've got to go and ring your mom and dad Taiyou, I'll be back in a couple of minutes." Taiyou nodded and Amber walked away. He looked back to Leo and wanted to cry, but didn't, he had to be strong, he had to be brave!

A nurse came over and started tending to Taiyou, but Taiyou wasn't having any of it.

"Look after my brother! Look after Leo, he's more hurt than I am! Get off me!" He said, trying to push her away as the nurse tried to reason with him.

"The Doctor is coming to look at Leo in a minute, so just stay still while I try to clean you up a bit." Taiyou shook his head.

"No I won't! Leo's hurt, help him! Help Leo!" He tried to push her off him, forgetting about the pain in his broken arm, that was until it surged with more pain from him thrashing about. He screamed out and the nurse took a gentle, but firm grip on his shoulders.

"The Doctor's coming to see Leo in a moment. If you keep struggling you're going to hurt yourself even more and then what use would you be to Leo, none that's what. Just sit still and stay quiet and I can clean your cuts so they don't get infected and someone will be here in a minute to see to your arm." Taiyou looked her in the eyes, the pain in his arm was still excruciating. He thought for a quiet moment and then nodded, letting the nurse dress his cuts.

Sure enough a Doctor did come to see Leo, mere moments after the nurse said one would and Taiyou's panic was eased slightly. Taiyou had to explain what had happened to the Doctor, trying to keep calm and just to tell the Doctor what he needed to know, rather than asking more questions. His mother and father turned up with Amber a few minutes after this and they were immediately fussing over him while Doctors surrounded Leo.

"Taiyou are you alright sweetheart?" his mom said, stroking his left arm as it wasn't in a plaster cast. Taiyou nodded, barely keeping the tears of relief at bay.

"What about Leo is he ok?" Taiyou asked once more and his father nodded.

"The Doctors are seeing to him now." Though Taiyou could tell by his dad's face that he wasn't completely convicted in his answer. The Doctors were speaking too quietly for Taiyou to hear, but he could see them all nod and prepare to wheel Leo's bed away.

"Where are they taking Leo?" Taiyou said quickly, his panic rising again. He tried to sit up, but found that his father's hands were on his shoulders and he was stopping him from getting up.

"Where are they taking Leo!" Taiyou repeated, this time with more urgency in his voice and Amber asked one of the Doctors before returning.

"They're taking Leo for an emergency X-Ray, they'reconcerned about when he banged his head. They're worried he might have damaged his skull." Taiyou still didn't want to lay down.

"Leo's going to be ok isn't he dad? You said he was going to be ok!" Taiyou was nearly shouting now and his father had to push down on his shoulders to force him back into bed.

"Taiyou you need to stay calm! We'll go and check on Leo." His father's voice was calm and reassuring and Taiyou nodded, laying back into his bed.

"Try to get some sleep Taiyou honey, we'll be back to check on you later." Taiyou nodded as he began to realise just how tired he was as his head hit the pillow he slipped off into an uneasy sleep.

----------------------------------------------

Taiyou mumbled in his sleep as his parents talked outside his room, the Doctors had moved him into a private room in case he woke up and started shouting again as it could upset the other children in the ward. His parents looked in at him through the door, watching his head contort into a frown as he mumbled,

"Leo…" His mother looked at him worriedly, hugging herself in an attempt to reassure herself.

"Lan, what if Leo doesn't make it? What if our little boy doesn't come back from surgery?" Mr. Hikari looked down at his wife, hugging her tightly as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"I'm sure he'll be fine Lilly, they're doing all they can."

"But Lan, we told Taiyou not to use his powers in public! We didn't just tell him, we made him promise and you know what he's like with promises! If he had used his powers he could've saved them both!" Lilly cried as Lan looked into her tear ridden eyes.

"You don't know that Lilly, those thugs could've just kept going for them even if Taiyou had used his powers." Lilly broke down, sobbing into her husband's shoulder, all she could think of was her two little boys, how her little Leo may not wake up and how she'd failed them both, how she'd failed to be a true mother to Taiyou by not loving her son enough to let him be who he was – to let him use the gift that he had.
