Jane's POV:

There was so much blood…

All of us were sitting around Adam's body as we waited for the doctors to treat him. I held Adam's hand, the one that wasn't covered in blood, in between my own.

"Adam?" I said when I noticed his eyes start to open. "Can you hear me?"

"…Jane?...Is that you…?" Adam asked.

"It's me." I said, squeezing his hand slightly. "I'm right here."

"You are very lucky to be alive." Kate said, as she wiped his forehead with a cloth.

"I know, Mom…" Adam said. "I…know…" His eyes started to close again.

"Don't leave us, Adam." I said, quickly. "Please don't leave us."

I herd somebody clear their throat. I turned to see one of the doctors standing there.

"I'm sorry, but you will have to step outside." he said. "We need the space to be able to work."

"Will he live?" I asked.

"I will do everything I can." he answered, even though that wasn't really an answer. "But there are a great many wounded, & I must get started before even more are brought here." He must have noticed my shock because he continued. "You didn't think that these were the only wounded, did you? This is just a small number of them. Thankfully, many of your neighbors have opened their homes & barns to us, but my assistants & I can't be everywhere at once."

"I don't know much about medicine, but I learn quickly." I said as I stood up. "If you can show me what to do, maybe I can help you."

"We'll help as well." my mom said, as she & Kate also stood.

"So will us." Ulrick said, stepping forward with Alita. The doctor seemed at a loss for words.

"Well…You can start by making up a few tables for us to work on. Some wooden planks stretched across barrels should do nicely. Be quick about it, for every moment might just be somebody's last breath."


Alita's POV:

"Penny for your thoughts, Princess?" Ulrick asked as he sat down next to me.

"I just needed to take a break." I said. "Just…getting a breath of fresh air."

"…You know, a sun set shouldn't be this pretty on a day like today." Ulrick said after we had sat in silence for a while. "With so many dead & wounded, it just doesn't feel right…"

"At least the battle's over." I said. "We survived."

"Yeh, but we still don't have a way to get back home."

"Jeremy will find us, Ulrick. I can feel it." I said. I felt a sort of weird tingle in the pit of my stomach. "Actually, I think I can feel it." I turned to Ulrick. "Do you feel that?"

"Yeh…Apparently, my stomach's not as strong as I thought it was." Ulrick said. "I've been kinda queasy ever since we started helping out…"

"No, not that." I said. "It feels like…like getting sent home from Lyoko! Ulrick, I…I think we're getting rescued!"
