Chapter 5
The next morning V went into see Jax.
"How are you?" asked V.
"Better than expected. They said I might be released today." said Jax.
"That's good news." she said.
"How's everyone else?" he asked.
"Not so good." she said.
"Why?" he asked.
"There were more explosions and a lot of people are dead while others are in the hospital recovering or fighting for their lives." she said sadly.
"Who's dead?" he asked softly.
"Edward and Lila Quartermaine, Justus Ward, Laura Spencer, Stefan Cassadine, Robin Scorpio, Amy Vining, Ruby Anderson, and a whole bunch of other people. Audrey Harding is doing fine, but Alexis is in a coma." she said sadly on the verge of tears.
"Robin? NO!" he said in shock.
"I'm sorry." she said as a tear ran down her cheek.
"What about Jerry?" he asked.
"He's the one who saved you. Do you want to see him?" she asked.
"Sure." he said.
"I'm going to check on Alexis." she said.
"Tell her I said hello." he said.
"I'll do that." she said softly.
She left his room and went over to Jerry as she wipe away a tear.
"He wants to see you." she said.
"Thanks." said Jerry.
V went into Alexis's room and Jerry hugged Bobbie.
"I better pick up Lucas. I'll see you later." said Bobbie.
"Okay. Bye." said Jerry.
Bobbie left the hospital as Jerry went into Jax's room.


Elizabeth was in Audrey's room.
"I thought I was going to lose you." said Elizabeth.
"I was worried about you too. How are the Spencers dealing with this?" asked Audrey.
"Not too good. I can tell that Lucky is in shock and a lot of pain." said Elizabeth.


Outside in the waiting room Lucky was playing with Lulu when Luke came over.
"How are you, cowboy?" asked Luke.
"Considering I lost half of my family, a little bit better." said Lucky.
"I'm sorry. This was all my fault." said Luke.
"Look, dad, you may have done some horrible things in your life, but you can't blame yourself for their deaths." said Lucky as he put a hand on his father's shoulder.
"Thanks." said Luke softly.
He picked up Lulu and hugged her.


At the Brownstone Bobbie arrived with Lucas and noticed the group of people.
"We had no place to go." said Monica.
"It's okay, but you can't all live here. I only have three rooms open." said Bobbie.
"I'll find some other place to live." said Reginald.
"Reginald, I'll go. You stay with mom and dad." said AJ.
"I'm sorry." said Bobbie.
"It's okay, Bobbie. I've lived on my own before." said AJ.
He left the Brownstone as everyone got settled into their rooms.


On the jet Helena was drinking some tea when Tony and Marino woke up.
"What the hell?" asked Marino.
"What am I doing here?" asked Tony.
"Good morning, gentlemen. I have some news." said Helena smiling.
"Did you blow up the whole city?" asked Marino.
"WE blew up the city. Don't you remember?" asked Helena.
"Not really." answered Marino.
"Where are we going? Are we wanted?" asked Tony.
"Of course we're wanted, dimwit, that's why we're on the run!!" shouted Marino.
"What crawled up your butt and died?" asked Tony angrily.
"Boys, stop fighting. We are going to Greece." said Helena smiling.
"Sorry to inform you, but we're heading back to Port Charles." said a voice over the intercom.
"WHAT!!!! Ari, what do you think you're doing!!!" shouted Helena angrily.
"Ari is no longer your pilot on this flight. This is Sonny Corinthos signing off." said Sonny.
"How the hell did he get on the jet?" asked Marino.
"I don't know." said Helena angrily.


In Alexis's room Ned, Nikolas, and V were talking about living arrangements.
"How about my house?" offered V.
"If Jax is living there I can't take your offer." said Ned.
"I'll be staying with the Spencers." said Nikolas.
"What about your aunt?" asked Ned.
"I promise to visit everyday." said Nikolas.
"Ned, please. You have nowhere else to go. Just live with us until you can find a place of your own." said V.
"I guess the two of us can get along." said Ned defeated.
"Great!" said V smiling.
"Home? Mama, I wanna go home. Where's daddy? Mama? Mama?" asked Alexis child-like.
"You're not well enough to go home, Natasha." said V softly.
"Where's daddy?" asked Alexis child-like.
"Um...Right here." said V as she grabbed Nikolas's arm.
"Hi, Natasha." said Nikolas softly.
"Why are you so far away? Who are these people?" asked Alexis child-like a little frightened.
"I think she's getting close to coming out of her coma." said Ned.
"I don't know, Natasha. Why don't you open your eyes and find out." said V softly.
"I can't. They won't let me." said Alexis child-like starting to become scared.
"Fight them." said Ned.
Alexis began to cry as she tried to open her eyes, but finally gave up and fell asleep.
"She was so close." said Nikolas.
"I know, but give her some time." said V.
"At least she's talking and can understand us." said Ned.
"That's a good sign except she thinks she's a little girl and that her parents are alive." said V.


In Jax's room Jerry was talking with Jax.
"I'm sorry." said Jax.
"For what? I should be the one apologizing." said Jerry.
"I didn't want to fight with you last night. I was just so sick and tired with my life and you made it worse by showing up last night." said Jax.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know." said Jerry softly.
"It's not your fault. Actually, it was a blessing that you were there." said Jax.
"That I saved your life instead of letting you die to be with Brenda." said Jerry.
"Yes, but I saw her. She made me go back and told me to get on with my life." said Jax.
"Are you sure you don't have brain damage?" asked Jerry as he examined the back of Jax's head.
"Knock it off, Jerry." said Jax smiling.
"Where are you staying?" asked Jerry.
"V's house." said Jax.
"Be good to her, Jax. She really cares for you." said Jerry.
He left his room as Jax contemplated his last sentence.
