Fight, Boy, Fight

Chapter 55

I woke up, the energy inside me exploded, machines went off and everything went crazy. I breathed shallowly, everything was super disorienting and I wanted my brothers! Then my eyes rolled back, everything hurt, my body was moving weirdly.
I heard a man say" He's going into shock. Doctor!" I cut the voice out,
I heard Sam say" What's happening to him?!"
" You need to stay back!"
" That's my little brother!" Then everything went black.
———
I woke up, everything around me started going crazy, nurses ran in, my eyes started flickering. Their words were muffled to me, I felt an IV in my arm, I cried out, scared.
A nurse said" Sweetie, it's okay, it's okay, my name is Millie, what's yours?"
I whispered" River."
" Do you know where you are?" I slowly shook my head," You're at a hospital. Everything is okay. You were really sick, you got hurt."
" My brothers."
" I'll go get them." The other nurses walked out after fixing the machines I broke. She followed after them, I gulped, slumping down a little. Then I saw my brothers, they rushed in and Dean hugged me, I nuzzled my face against his chest, gripping his jacket. I heard Sam talking to the nurse.
Dean said" You okay, man?"
I whispered" Wanna out, wanna go." He kissed my head,
I heard Sam say" They're saying his machines freaked out all night, after we were forced to leave him. His heart rate is so low, that physically, he shouldn't be able to move or talk. Barely breathe, actually."
" Wanna go, De." I tugged at his jacket, weakly,
Dean said" Can't go, Riv. You gotta stay here, let them fix you. Bobby's down right now, uh, Dick shot him in the head." I gasped, the room started shaking,
Sam said" Dean."
" I didn't know he'd react like that. Shh, Riv, it's fine, it's gonna be okay." The room stopped shaking," You gotta stay here, let them run a few more tests, okay? While we deal with Bobby."
I whined" Noo, stay with you."
" Can't stay with me, bud. Okay? It's fine, everything's gonna be okay."
Sam said" He's ice to the touch."
" We've gotta get him out of here. They don't know what's happening to him."
" Neither do we."
" We can figure it out. It's gotta have something to do with his powers, right?"
" Yeah."
" So, what're they gonna do?"
" Make sure he lives. Dean, just a few more tests, okay?" I knew they were having a stare-off,
" Fine. Only a few more." Dean's hand stayed on the back of my head the entire time, I didn't mind, I don't wanna let go of him.
" Can I see him?"
" Let Sammy see ya, Riv." I reluctantly let go of Dean's jacket, then latched onto Sam's as soon as he was close enough for me to. Sammy kissed my head," Riv, can you tell us what happened? You're ice cold, your heart's barely beating, your lungs are mostly closed."
I whispered" Black smoke."
" Why are you whispering?"
" Everything's so muffled but... loud at the same time."
" Okay. You're gonna be out of here really soon, okay?"
" Did I make the machines break?"
" Yeah, yeah, I think so. But it's okay, you don't mean to. You're gonna be okay, Riv, I promise." I yawned," You-You should get some more sleep, huh? Sleepy?" I nodded slowly," Okay, lay down." He moved me to say down, my eyes immediately drooped and I was out like a light.

I saw Dean walk in, he leaned against the wall, watching me, he seemed angry, but it was more of the sad angry. I wanted to talk to him, but my mouth... I couldn't move, I could only stare at him. Then a doctor came in,
She said" You're his brother, correct?"
Dean said" Yeah. Is he gonna be okay?"
" His heart rate is slowly coming back up, his lungs slowly opening, I don't believe he'll ever be able to play a sport again, but he'll be alive. He's freezing cold to the touch, which is completely confusing me."
" What about his head?"
" A major concussion, honestly, it should have stunned him more than it did. The swelling went down, to him, he might say there's something in my head, it's pressure, I suggest kid's Tylenol, obviously for his age, I prefer not to put him on anything stronger."
" When can he be released. We've got an uncle downstairs."
" In a few hours, I want him in a few more scans, to make sure we didn't oversee any bone breakage, no internal bleeding anywhere, to make sure everything's okay with his head."
" All right." Everything faded away again, I fell asleep.

My brothers came in, my lip shook as I saw tears in their eyes. The room started shaking, no, no, no! Not Bobby! Nooo! I tried to get up, but my body wouldn't let me do it. No, no, no! I breathed heavily, starting to wheeze, then started crying.
