After their (short) conversation, Liz went to find her sister. "So Patty- Oh my god Patty what's wrong!?"
She walked in to see that Patty was lying on the floor. Her pulse was faint and so was her breathing. Liz took her to the infirmary.
"What happened to her? Dr. Stein?"
"Hm? Oh yeah. She's in a coma, seems whatever the witch did to you guys affected her differently."
"Will she be okay?"
"She should be, but who knows."
"I have to go tell Kid."
"Kid! Patty... Is... In..." She said panting
"Wait calm down. Now breathe. Tell me what happened."
"Patty fell over! When I got there she was barely breathing and her pulse was faint and now she's in the infirmary and she's in a coma and I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!" She blurted out crying.
"Come here."
Kid wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight and she cried into his shoulder. She pulled away a little bit and they were face to face. Their heart beats, and their breathing was in sync.
"Liz. I was worried about you, but not just because your my teammate and weapon partner. But because I... li-" He choked
"I like you too," She breathed against his neck.
Which sent shivers down his spine. She kissed him, a little peck and pulled away. But he wanted more, he had been waiting and wanting to do this for weeks. He pulled her back into the kiss, this time it was longer, less hesitant they were certain of this kiss. At first they just stood there their lips pressed together, but then her lips parted slightly and her tongue slipped out and slide smoothly into his mouth. He reflected her movements. After what felt like a lifetime they broke apart and he hugged her again.
"Let's go and see how she's doing"
"What? Oh! Right Patty"
She blushed and felt a bit angry at herself for forgetting about her own sister for even a nano second. But that kiss was... more than words could explain.

"She's breathing on her own now and her pulse is strong."
"And?" Liz asked impatient worry in her voice.
"I'm not sure. She might come out of the coma in a couple hours, weeks, months, or possibly never. But I hope it won't come to that."
"But no! She has to come out of the coma!"
"I'm sorry Liz there isn't much I can do. She's in a magic induced coma if I could make her better I would. But I can't."
Kid placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Don't give up hope Liz, she'll be fine."
"How do you know?"
"Because I have faith in Pattys' ability to fight this."
