" I think he's dead."

" That voice." Reno thought as another voice came.

" He's not dead, we gave him a drug to help him sleep."

" I still say he's dead!"

Reno opened his eyes to see Yuffie staring at him and the rest of AVALANCHE beside her. Rude and the others standing on the other side, "Could you guys stop fussing over me...." he said sitting up and staying up even though it was painful.

He hit away Rufus' hands that tried to get him to lay back down, seeing himself only sporting a pair of black jeans. The rest of his torso was white from bandages, Yuffie still sat looking at him, how smiling at the sleepy man.

She gave Reno a playful punch to the arm, forgetting it was the one that was still injured and caused the man to give a small gasp while shutting his eyes.

" Yuffie!" Cloud said kicking; making her fall. " OW!" she yelled rubbing her shoe. " Man, Spikey whats wrong?!" Cloud was silent and Yuffie finally realized what she did.

" Sorry Reno, didn't mean to hurt you....anymore then you already are." she said getting up and brushing off her clothes.

" It's alright, but...what are you all doing here?" Reno asked putting a hand to sore ribs, Tifa put a hand on his good shoulder with the bright smile she wore when he was at the 7th Heaven.

" Marlene and Denzel said you disappeared and Rude contacted us, we came to see how you were doing." Reno heard those names and almost jumped off the bed. " Hey, it's alright."Barrett said quickly grabbing him and trying to calm him. "Take it easy, your still sore."

"Marlene, denzel are they alright?" Reno asked in almost a panic, his question was answered by two small forms running and hugging him. He ignored the pain he felt again in his sore body, Red and Cid pulled them off Reno who just smiled through his pain at them.

" I'm glad you two okay." he said as Rude agreed, he had grow a soft spot for the kids when watching over Reno at the kids home.
" We're glad you and the other Turks are okay too." Marlene answered and Tifa looked at the two children, happy with the relationship that formed between The two turks and kids.

-- Few days later --

Reno's sore body, with lots of rest finally was back to full strength. Rufus, Tseng, Rude, Elena and even the AVALANCHE group was happy to have the old Reno back.

Tifa was having a small party for the anniversary, the day that she opened up the 7th Heaven those years ago. Celebrating how long it had been in business, she yearly invited all her friends. This year she invited the Turks with open arms, after seeing a different side of them....a caring side. The whole group felt good about them coming and it was good see the small group of people happy.

Reno and Rude sat in a corner most of the night, talking back and forth while everyone else danced and had fun. Elena sat at the bar talking with Tifa, " You like Reno don't you?" Tifa asked her as she sipped at her water.

" Well of course I do, Turks are family."

" You know what I mean Elena, I saw the way you were when he was down."

" Yea but-"

" Stop ignoring your feelings Elena and go talk to him. I told Cloud how I feel and look at us."

" Cloud's barely around."

" He's actually around more sense we stopped Sephiroth and cured the geostigma."

" Oh....fine I'll go talk to him."

Elena got up from her bar stool, releasing a deep breath as she approached her red haired teammate. He turned to see her, Rude looking at her and for the first time in front of her was not wearing his sunglasses.

" Reno...you wanna dance?"

He looked away for a minute, saying nothing before putting down his drink and standing. He put his hand out to Elena who took it in her own, walking out to join the others who were slow dancing.

Elena blushed as Reno put his arm around her waist, moving with her to music and kissing her cheek.

" I really like you Reno..." she felt like she was acting weak as he gave her a serous look.

" Your a turk Elena, don't act so weak."

She looked down as he moved a hand through her hair and kissed her lips. Her gaze lifted to see the blue eyes and sweet smile of the man she loved. Seeing he loved her back, making her feel like flying as he spoke again.

" But, I guess I can it slide just this once."

" I'd like that."
