Six days later...
Vic's residences in Star City
"Peter! Wade! Matt! Breakfasts!" Victory shouted. It was a nice Tuesday as she prepared the boys breakfast that morning. She could heard noise coming from the upstairs beds rooms. Followed by running feet going down the stairs.
"Morning Aunt Vic" Peter greeted her as he took a seat.
"Morning Peter" Vic replied with a small smile. Peter's cheerful and angel like smile always made her day. Or sixth day since she began taking care of him and his brothers.
Matt slowly came down the stairs gripping his right hand to the rail and his walking stick in the other.
"Morning"
"Hi Matt" Vic softly greeted as he took a seat in front of Peter.
Vic watched as Peter began to talk to Matt. Peter was always in a good mood which brought life to this house and this house really needed it.
Her train of thought was interrupted by Wade who finally came down the stairs talking to himself. First thing she learn about Wade that he liked to talk to himself a lot and his brothers didn't seem to mind but mostly ignored it. Anyone would think that Wade wasn't right in the head, that Wade was probably mentally ill or something and his scars didn't help but she didn't mention them since they seem to be a sour topic. Which wouldn't surprise her since Wade was somehow related to Lex Luther. A crazy man himself who probably passed off his mess-up genes.
"Morning Wade" Vic did her best encouraging smile as Wade took his seat. Mornings were mostly like this, Wade didn't seem to trust her, Matt seem to be trying to get to know her and Peter was Peter. The cheerful little boy any parent would dream of having. Peter was so sweet and smart that Vic found it hard to believe that someone like Peter was related to a demon like Luther. In the end Vic came to conclusion Peter must have taken from their mother.
"Pancakes are ready" Vic placed plates of pancakes in front of each of them. "Give them a try"
Wade looked at her with suspicious, Matt slowly tired the pancakes while Peter happy began to munch on that said breakfast.
"It's better then last time Aunt Vic" Peter encouraged taking a long sip of his of milk.
Matt nodded but she could see him forcing the pancakes down his throat to show her that he was trying.
And there was Wade who looked at he pancakes to total disgust. Poking the pancakes with his fork.
Vic sighed as she was already expecting it and she couldn't blame him. Cooking wasn't her strong suit, she had tried to learn how to cook but it always failed. Most days they ended up eating take out food or heating up frozen foods.
"Why don't you make breakfast next time" Vic suggested.
Wade looked up quickly nodding his head rapidly.
{I want to live!}
[wrong P.O.V.]
{who care whose P.O.V. it is. Bet the writer doesn't know herself}
[true that]
{how much long do we have to eat those pancakes! Have mercy!}
"Are we going today Aunt Vic" Peter chirped swallowing another piece of burn pancakes.
Vic nodded her head. "Excited about starting school"
Peter nodded.
"There nothing on the fridge" Matt said interrupting their conversation.
Vic sighed. "Why don't you guys make of list of everything you want and I will see what I can do"
Crickets filled the room as the three boys remains silent.
"Ok...I'll do it myself then" Vic sighed grabbing a notepad and pen as she went to the kitchen.
"When is dad coming to see us?" Peter asked pushing away his half eaten pancakes.
"Give it a few days Peter, he just came to visit us two days ago" Matt answered.
Peter pouted. "I miss him"
"Forget him Petey" Wade butted in. "You have us and we're all the family you need"
"What about aunt Vic? She been nice to us"
Wade snort giving out a small chuckle. "That lady couldn't find even cook a good pancakes. What makes her think she can't take care of us"
"Give it up Wade, she's trying"
Wade crossed his arms. "Not trying hard enough if you ask me"
"Boys brush your teeth and grab your stuff. We're leaving in ten minutes" Vic shouted from the kitchen.
"Ok" Peter chimed getting off his seat and running up the stairs to his room.
"I call shot gun" Wade shouted running after him.
Deciding not to go after his brothers, Matt remained behind to clear up the table. Taking his time as he stack the plates into one pile. He didn't grab his walking stick since had to use both hands, he slowly made his way to the kitchen.
As he entered the kitchen he could hear Vic mumbling to herself. He moved at a snails pace as he made his way to the sink, plates at hand.
The shaking plates had Victory turned her head around as she saw Matt enter the room.
Before she could do anything Matt slipped on a small action (wade's) figure left in the kitchen floor. Plates went flying into the air, Matt falling to his bottom as gravity took its toll. Without even thinking Vic jumped towards Matt, using her own body to shield him as the plates crash against her back and head.
A loud crash filled the house as Peter and Wade came running down the stairs and into the kitchen.
They came to find Matt trembling in the floor as drops of blood began to fall on his clothing.
It took all Victory's strength to not fall on top of Matt. Using her arms to support her, blood dripping from her head and into the floor.
"Matt!" Peter screamed running towards them.
"...No!...stop" Vic shouted. "Wade stop him"
Wade wasn't fast enough as Peter slipped on a broken piece of glass and fell to the ground hitting his head, knocking him out.
"Peter!" Wade and Vic yelled. Matt was still trembling that he didn't hear Peter crashing to the floor.
"Peter!" Wade cried quickly running to your brother side, cradling Peter's head in his arms.
"Wade let me see him" Vic ordered.
"No!" Wade shouted angrily as he held Peter close to him.
Victory staggered back startled by Wade's tone. She could see anger in his eyes.
Not wanting to see them any more Vic raced out to living grabbing her phone and dial for a ambulance.
Star City Hospital
An hours later...
"The painkillers should easies the pain" Doctor Ludy said writing down a prescription. "If you feeling any sort of strange pain, anything at all please don't forget come here. It was a minor injury but better safe than sorry."
Vic slowly nodded taking the prescription from the doctor.
"...And Pet-"
Doctor Ludy held her hand up interrupting her. "Peter is fine. He might have a concussion from fall so we will have to keep him here for a day to run more test"
Vic nodded once again taking in the information.
"Both of your sons are waiting outside when ever your ready" Doctor Ludy informed.
"Alright" Vic sighed walking out of the room and towards the waiting hall of the hospital. Matt was curled up in the counter chair with his arms around his legs. She could see dry tears still visible on his cheeks and his eyes swollen from crying.
Wade on the other hand was have a screaming contest with himself.
"Where's Peter lady" Wade asked ran up to her once he noticed her presence. "They won't let me see him. I'm his brother but they won't let me see him"
Vic sighed rubbing her left should her with her right hand. "Peter fine. Doctor Ludy want to keep him over night"
Wade frowned. "I want to see him"
"Alright I will take you"
"No I will find him myself" Wade responded harshly before running off to Peter's room.
Victory didn't go after him but decide to focus on the eldest. Matt was pretty shaken up after the accident.
"Mind if I sit next to you" Vic asked.
Matt didn't respond but Vic sat down anyway.
"I'm sorry Matt. I really am, it just that I am not very good of taking care of others much less myself when it comes to the basics. I really want that to change."
Matt was responding or even bothered to face her.
"I can't do this on my own. Wade is out of my league. Peter is so young but you are just right age. You aren't as harsh as Wade or angelic like Peter. Even though your blind I feel that you see better then I ever will"
Vic paused hopping to get a sign that Matt was listen but when none came she continued on.
"You don't need eye sight to see and I can teach you. I can teach you enhance your other senses. So accidents like this won't happen again. You won't be tripping over things or holding to the rail of the stair when going up or down. You will be able move and interact as if you could see as everyone else."
Matt turned to face her.
"I can teach to see without seeing"
A long awaited update. Sorry for the delay but stuff happens. Other things must continue to go on even though it's been months since I last updated.
Please don't forget to comment. I read the comments and I know there is confusion about Matt's enhanced senses but hopefully this chapter will explain it. I will explore this in the next chapter.
Till the next update.
