[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.]

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.

[earthshaken]

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?

[braavado]

[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.
