2 Chapter - 02

P.O.V. MC -

*gasp*gasp*'Cant breathe!!! Can't breathe *gasp*gasp*

I can breathe *hah* haha* I can breathe, that scared me', I jolted up from my bed removing my oxygen mask.

I look around the vacant room filled with the smell of disinfectant *beep*beep*, the sound drew my attention to a monitor with wires clipped to my right thumb and index finger and a chest pad

``Heart rate monitor going by the bulky frame it's a way older model, company Polaris, model 2000. Conclusion: High blood pressure going by the numbers, severe injury to the head and waist going by the bandage and possible permanent loss of motor functions of anything below the waist. Location: either in the past or some very poor hospital.``

'wait what, oh yeah.' It took me a sec to catch up to my thoughts but why? It feels a little sluggish am I drugged ``Anasthesia`` 'oh yeah that must be it.'.

Wait!!! Loss of function of the lower body. I touched my legs but I didn't feel, with trembling hands I removed my sheet. I looked under it, I see my legs but still don't feel them, my vision grew blurry and felt something roll of my cheek 'hm, I'm crying' *beep*Beep*BEEP* my vision grew darker and darker the last thing I saw was a nurse running towards me.

P.O.V. 3rd Person

Light shown through the window and rested on a child's eyes of about about 3 years old with his head wraped in bandages, he had cute little face resting peacefully.

He woke up groggily when a nurse came in through the door, a little surprised seeing the boy wake up she came close to him and asked, "nene are you ok, you passed out yesterday tell me does anything hurt, are you uncomfortable?". She had a very kind and motherly voice but you could still hear a hint of worry in her tone.

The boy rubbed his eyes and looked at her, she had a kind smile on her face ``hispanic, going by her slang and accent a Porta-Rican, in her 20's name Rio M. Married, newly the ring is new. Name of the Hospital- Mt Sinai West hospital going by her name tag`` and the boy immediately looked down not meeting her eyes "I can't... can't feel my legs. Where is my Uncle Ben."the boy replied in a cracking whisper. The nurse wanted to hug the poor boy but refrained as from the reports she carried the boy was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2 and does not like people intruding his personal space but the nurse was only half correct regarding the behaviour the boy showed because not only his autistic symptoms acted up but he was also overwhelmed by the question and suspicions which were answered and solved by the foreign knowledge that was forgotten yet it was an experience equal to that of surfing the internet it carried no emotional experiences yet it was all understood, stored and accepted in a blink of an eye.

"Don't worry about it nene it'll be alright there's a glass of water on the table drink it while I call the doctor and your Uncle.", she said in clam and soothing voice "ok... um... kind miss what's your name?", the boy asked in an awkward manner making the boy look like a cute baby panda.

"Rio, Rio Morales", Rio replied while gently patting the boy's shoulder and going out the door leaving the quite boy frozen in shock.

15 Minutes Later....

A young woman wearing long white coat came through the door followed by an older couple along with a boy no more than 3 years old bearing a near identical resemblence to our MC the only difference that the boy had brown hair while our MC black covered up by his bandages.

"Appi !! How are you, are you ok does anything hurt how do you feel-", the hysterically worried woman was cut off by her husband

"Calm down May give the boy some space to brea-"

"DON'T You dare to calm me down Ben the boy has been in that bed for over a week since he was admitted here and WHAT The HELL are the police doing? Why haven't they found that infernal driver that hit my baby and-"

"CAN everyone please calm down and take a deep breath.... Thank you. Azmuth P. Parker, Hello I'm Dr.Christine Palmer a first year resident, have you had any problems, pain or uncomfort of any sort because yesterday you passed out?", Dr. Palmer intervened calming everyone in one go and raised her hand towards Azmuth for a handshake who in turn didn't raise his hand to greet her he just sat there quietly holding May and Peter's hand avoiding eye contact entirely "I don't feel my legs.", the boy whispered but everyone in the room heard it.

One could see it in their eyes that May and Ben's hearts where broken beyond recovery and their spirits breaking but Ben Parker is not a man who gives up, he pulled himself together for his family and threw his dispare and heartbreak aside and hugged the black haired boy deeply

"Don't worry appi everything will be alright both me and your aunt are here for you.", Azmuth hugged his uncle tightly along with his aunt and broke down crying not only because of what happened to him and how much it affected those around him but also how much Ben was willing to sacrifice for his family.

He promised to himself at this moment that if he had to sacrifice the life of every sentient being in the multiverse to protect them he would do so in a heartbeat.

*sniff*sniff*"So how long does he have to stay here doctor?" May asked still incased in the hug of litte Peter who had a sad face.

"Two more days under observation as to confirm the state of the surgical procedure on the patient, once a week week visit to your local Physical Therapist for a duration of at least 3 months and visit to a psychologist till his/her liking untill he deems the patient clear of any likelihood of psychological trauma, PTSD, etc. Since the patient sufferes from Axonotmesis category of nerve injury there is chance he may be able to walk again but he will always require a support not mention there are other complications, no medical procedure can cure his injury only time can help him."

"Thank you for your help Dr. and please give our thanks to that Strange fellow as well.", Ben gave the Dr. a kind and thankful smile. After a few routine check ups the Dr. went away.

Ben and May sat at the chairs away from the bed while Peter and Azmuth on it.

P.O.V. Ben Parker

It was a very tense week for the Parker family their nephew was hit car while they were visiting to New York taking some stuff back from Richard and his wife's apartment it had been an year since they died in the plane crash leaving the two boys orphaned.

Azmuth was diagnosed with autism around the same time although Richard used to say he had such suspicions since he was 2 months old, May got angry when she heard about it and thought he was calling his adorable nephew crazy I just left it to them to explain about the problems to her after all both were scientists.

God just look over the boy, May has broken down crying the entire week and scared the police officers to the point they fear to pick her calls lest she unleash hell on them.

It was as if I've been given another lease at life when I heard of Azmuth waking up but the surgeons already told us of the possibility that he may not able to walk again and it broke my heart ever more watch May nearly faint.

Hearing the boy say he couldn't feel his legs I felt as if my heart was ripped out from my chest, I didn't even feel May's nails digging into my arm only a few seconds later I became aware of my surroundings and pushed all pain away and hugged him along with May.

After some time when the Dr. left and Peter was along with Appi, May called on to me

"Ben how are we going to pay for all the expenses of surgery and medication, therapy, all the equipment, our own living stability, both there eduction o h god how are we-"

"Calm down May, I applied for a loan, there is some money in both our and Richard's account and if it's still less I'll just sell the car. Don't worry so much take care of yourself appi and Peter need you." Ben cut her off and calmed her down reassuring so as not cause her to in another panic fit. Ben hugged May and both of them just sat there peaceful, May fell asleep quickly she had barely got any sleep the entire week and Ben just closed his eyes enjoying the serenity of the moment.

P.O.V. with Azmuth and Peter

Hi, my name Pweter Parker, today's date Febluary 2002 and I like cookies my brother says they belong to the dark side, I don't know what that meanz.

I and my brother appi just started going to school aunt May said big boys go to school, I'm a big boy. It is fun being in school I get to eat cookies there but others seem slow to me most of the time we don't play much with other cause they make fun of me sometimes and appi doesn't like anyone he says they are all goldfish, I don't what that means.

Today we all went to dad's old home, I miss him and mom. Appi got in an accident and was taken to the hospital, I am very scared. Today we got to know appi woke up, I am very happy.

"Hey Peter what have you been doing while I was here?" I asked the little brown haired boy who was climbing up the bed as if climbing Mt Everest

"*Huff*huff* nothing just watching SpongeBob and eating cookies. You got hurt, are you ok now?" he asked with bit of worry looking at me with those big round eye and fluffy cheeks he looked like a pugg wanting to be cuddled "Nah, not so much Dr. miss said I can't walk from now." I replied making some space for him to sit

"huh, if you can't walk how will you go pee-pee and make boom-boom." Appi laughed a little at his brother's question "They will use some machines for such things I don't have go to the bathroom." a look contemplation came on Peter's face and I saw his eyes flshed with intelligence that rarely seen in 1:100000000 of the population 'yeah my mind did the calculation' and he said "So that mean you can't walk so you will sit in chair and other people will take you different places and machine thingy will make it so you don't have to go to potty, aren't you like a king." I chuckled at his response "A little bit yeah".
