Rating/Warning: Mentions of violence/injury, character death

[Terra didn't have much memory of how he'd reached the hospital. The doctors had described how they'd found him unconscious on the roof drenched in blood, Keyblade lying beside him and Baymax with him. The last thing he remembered was Soramaru and Masamune's deaths, something that had stood out starkly in his memories for more. After that, there was little but the feeling of warm light and his Keyblade in hand.

Thanks to Korra's quick action the bullet wound in his chest had more or less been taken care of, and the rest was just a patch job, along with treatment for the blood loss. His arm was another matter, and since he refused to have its coding fixed instantly by one of the medical robots, he settled for having it in a sling.

He didn't trust medical robots here for a second, when it was CERES' security robots that had shot him in the first place. If anything, they'd make it worse, wouldn't they?

After a few days of bed rest and some minor surgery on his wounded arm, he was finally feeling well enough to get up and move around. The first day or so of recovery was hazy, but now he's beginning to feel restless -- sitting around in a bed is giving too much time to dwell on his failures in the raid. Were Hiro and Korra even alive? And what about the other groups they were separated from? He sends them -- everyone who participated in the raid -- the following message:]

are you okay?

[And then to Roxas, who is probably wondering where Terra disappeared to, the following message:]

I ran into some trouble a few days ago
at the hospital now
don't worry abou t me. i'll see you soon

[Good job on the least reassuring message ever, Terra.]

[Baymax returned to Tadashi's apartment which means Terra was delivered to the hospital safely, but that didn't do much to assure Hiro. He'd worried about the guy for a while before he contacted Korra. They had been planning on heading to the hospital to see him when they both receive the message and Hiro flips the call into a video chat. The pair of them are sitting side by side in Hiro's apartment peering into the camera.]

Shouldn't we be asking you that? [Because he knows both of them were wondering. Korra will probably interject after Terra responds but they're both waiting patiently.]

[When Terra responds, it's to breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing Hiro and Korra.] You're alright...

[He didn't really want to respond with a video feed of his own, from where he's patched up in a hospital bed, but now isn't really the time for pride. Besides, seeing him might help reassure them both he's going to recover. He gives a small, apologetic smile.]

Sorry... I guess I feared the worst for you both, after everything that happened. How did you escape?

We had some help in the end. [Korra glances at Hiro, then back to the screen at Terra. While he's looking a little under the weather, he is recovering, and that's the important part here.]

How's the arm feeling? We were really worried about you when Baymax carried you off...

It'll take a while before I can use it again, but there's no permanent damage.

[It'll be frustrating, being unable to fight or do even basic things properly, but he won't complain. Least of all when two of their group didn't make it.]

Did you find anything in there, before you got out?

Good. [He almost deflates upon hearing that. No permanent damage is a good sign. However, when Terra asks that question he just rolls his eyes toward the ceiling, nodding slowly.]

...you could say that. We kinda found something reallllly important. [But do they want to discuss this over the network? CERES, supposedly, is offline...but then again Mosley just waltzed out of the darkness so who knows if that's even true.] Kinda surprised, but it happened. [A beat.] Are you up for a visit, maybe? I don't know if it's information we should be sharing on the CereVice.

I don't know if where I am is any more secure than the CereVices...

[He looks around and off-camera, as if expecting eavesdroppers. Seeing none, he continues.]

But I'm staying away from the robots here. So as long as no CERES employees are hanging around, it should be safe for you to come talk.

[Another glance between Hiro and Terra, then Korra's nodding decisively.]

It's better than talking on these phones. We'll be there soon.

[And now she's reaching over to end the call. Just like she said, though, she and Hiro turn up at Terra's hospital room not too long after that, Korra immediately dropping into a chair beside the bed.]

[Terra would much rather talk once he's out of hospital; he hates few things more than others seeing him as weak or vulnerable. But he knows this is something that can't wait, so he won't protest.

When they arrive, he sits up, greeting them both with a brief nod.]

Thanks for coming... and for before. I really appreciate everything you both did for me.

[The logic behind this for both Hiro and Korra is that it might be too late by the time Terra's out. There's too much going on right now, and Hiro, personally, is a little curious what exactly the Bridge is going to do now that she's free and with her friends. He takes a seat next to Korra and near the bed, leaning his elbows on his knees and looking at Terra thoughtfully.]

Don't even mention it. We weren't going to leave you behind. [That's not how they do things.] We also don't want to leave you out...so Korra and I wanted to update you on what happened in the tower after you and Baymax disappeared. We went in even further and found some things.

You did?

[Terra looks between them both. Was this what all the secrecy and not wanting to use their CereVices was about? He drops his voice a little, just in case there are eavesdroppers in the hallway.]

Like what?

[She doesn't know how much Terra knows already, so Korra decides starting with a brief introduction is probably for the best. She checks around the room just one last time before she begins talking.]

Did you ever meet Maris and Caeli? They're the ones who sent out that message when the whole place was flooding. Anyway, they were looking for someone--the Bridge. That's who we found when we kept going, all chained up and everything.
