Nadya?
*NO POV*
When they got to the base, they took Nadya, Lila, and Sam to the lab, where they had what they needed.
- Sam, you seem to be fine, the ribs will heal in a few days, otherwise they are not very serious bruises - Bruce told him
- How are Nadya and Lila? - asked
- They'll be fine, they're still operating on Lila, and Nadya just needs a little rest - he explained.
- Is Nadya awake? -
- No, but in a few hours she probably will be, but she's not here - he replied
- What do you mean with that? -
- They took her to Jean's boarding school, we can't help Nadya, we're talking about something bigger -
- We were able to help Wanda -
- Wanda already knew how to control her powers more or less well -
- Lila won't be happy when she wakes up - Sam murmured.
- Just because she's gone doesn't mean we can't see her, when Lila wakes up and is strong enough, we can take her to see her girlfriend - she informed him
- I hope so, we are not going to separate those two more, they need each other -
Then, they heard some noises in the hallway.
- Looks like they're done - Bruce said before leaving the room, with Sam behind.
They moved Lila's bed into the next room.
The two entered the room, Sam sat next to the girl, while Bruce went to the corner where the other doctors were to see how the surgery had gone.
- He had a displaced patella fracture, the surgery went perfectly, she will need two or three months of rehabilitation, but it seems that she will be fine - explained the doctor and Bruce nodded looking at the papers with the information
- Perfect, thank you very much Dr. Watson - Bruce thanked her
At that name Sam looked up, it couldn't be, there were many people with the last name Watson, it couldn't be her
- I'll be back in a few hours when she wakes up - said the doctor before going out the door
- Very well, you can stay here with her, let me know if you need anything, I heard that her father will be here in a few minutes, I took him to his room to rest, he was about to fall asleep in the chair in the waiting room - Bruce said putting a hand on Sam's shoulder, before going after the doctor
- Come on, little one, rest a bit, but don't go too far - Sam said before leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes, he needed a bit of rest too

*LILA POV*
I tried to open my eyes, but the lights blinded me, I groaned when I opened my eyes and felt a great pain throughout my body.
I turned my head to my right, but that made me feel a huge pain in my ribs.
- Hey, don't make an effort - said a voice next to me, which I couldn't recognize, I hardly heard
- Nadya? - was the first thing I said, when I managed to speak
- She's not here right now, but she's fine, don't worry, now worry about yourself - he said, and I finally recognized Sam
Nadya wasn't here? She would never let me wake up alone, that doesn't sound like her
- Where is she? - I asked with a very hoarse voice.
- She is not here now, I am going to call the doctor - he informed me
A few minutes later, a woman, whom I recognized as the doctor, entered the room.
- Good afternoon, Lila - said the woman - I'm Dr. Watson, and I'm the surgeon who has been in charge of your operation - she explained - How do you feel? - I wonder
- Everything hurts - I said.
- It's normal, you have several broken ribs and a kneecap displacement injury, but the operation went well and with a few months of rehabilitation you'll be better, but we'll wait for your other injuries to recover and a few weeks to pass, before starting - said the doctor
- Ok - I answered
- Well, they are going to give you some analgesics for the pain, you will probably feel tired from them, so get some sleep - she told me before saying goodbye and leaving
- When will Nadya return? - I asked Sam
- I don't think she'll be back for a few months, she's in Jean's boarding school with Yelena - he told me and I looked at him strangely
Why would he decide to go there, instead of being here with me?
- It's not her fault, from what I've found out, it seems to me that the decision was not her's, I think they told her that she would learn to control her powers better there than here - he told me
- why did you tell her that? She is much better here, with me - I told her
Yeah those painkillers have strength, I could hardly stay awake
- Sleep a little more, you need to rest, we'll talk about it when you wake up and have more strength - he told me and I accepted, I don't think I can have a coherent conversation now.
