Danny held onto his childhood friend for ages until he was pushed away so that a doctor could run a few tests. There were a few irregularities, but everyone was assured there wouldn't be any issues. As the doctor left, Danny rushed back to Sam's side and said girl finally found her voice. It was weak, but she found it.

"Danny?" Her voice was soft, but he heard her loud and clear, well beyond glad to hear her voice again.

"Yeah Sam?" Danny found his nerves slowly working their way into his voice, but who could blame him? He had just told her he loved her, a confession that could do more than make a friendship like theirs a little awkward. He refused to let these nerves get the best of him though and fought to stay strong as he had done in so many deadly battles.
She was silent for a moment. Even though he'd just told her the very words she'd been hoping to hear for ages now, she still had to fight to get her words out. The first time for things often isn't easy.

"Danny, I...I love you too." Her normally strong voice began to fail her once more as she ended her sentence, but it didn't matter much as Danny wasn't too intent on letting her speak much more. He kissed her without warning with more passion than any of their fake-out make-outs had ever had.

As they separated, he felt dread in his heart only moments before a frazzled Jazz entered the room, her arm at an odd angle, pain in her face, and fear in her eyes.
"You have no idea how much I hate to do this to you, little brother." Fuck. He could already tell where this was going. Life couldn't let him have just one moment of peace, could it?

He hid the irritation in his eyes before speaking. "What asshole did this to you?" He forced himself not to mention that said asshole was also trying to tear him away from Sam after only just being reunited with her.

"Pariah got loose. Tuck and I can't handle him on our own. Even with Valerie and Vlad, he's still kicking our butts." Danny had to admire that Jazz had managed to speak without a single painful wince or even chopping up her sentences even with the clearly broken arm on her left side.

The hybrid's eyes glowed bright green as his anger and powers surfaced. "I am going to rip that bastard to pieces." He closed his eyes for a second, forcing himself to calm down. He wasn't going to just storm out, he wanted to be relatively calm as he left Sam, and he knew that allowing his anger too much power only led to mistakes.

He turned to Sam only to see her usual smirk on her face. "Go kick some ass for me, okay?"

He smiled in turn. "I will. I'll be back for you Sam."

"I know you will be. I'd have to kick your ass if you didn't." She meant her words. Well, at least the first part; she was still deciding on the second.

I watched as he flew out through the wall and couldn't shake the sense of foreboding settling in my heart. I just knew this wasn't going to be an ordinary fight, though I could do little more than pray that he would come out okay in the end. This was Danny; of course he'd be okay, right?

But if that was true, then why couldn't I shake the feeling that something huge was about to happen?

Then, as I lay there waiting for his promised returned, I felt myself slipping again. No, damnit! I was not going to get trapped in my own mind again. Not now when there was something telling me that he was going to need me soon.

And yet, no matter how hard I fought to fight against the growing black around my vision, I couldn't keep it at bay.

I was going back under, right when Danny would need me most.

Sorry it is a touch short... My computer is still down for the count. On the bright side, my school has provided all AP kids with an iPad for class, so I can still update while I wait for my dad to stop working and laughing at me long enough to fix my computer.
