Chapter 101

[Third Person's PoV]

Peter, Gwen, MJ, and Lydia Hardy (Felicia's mother) were inside Felicia's hospital room, waiting for her to wake up, as the doctors had informed them she could awaken at any moment.

They all sat in silence as the heart monitor occasionally beeped. After a few more minutes, Felicia's eyes started to flutter, and she slowly began to open them, causing all of them to practically jump up from their seats and surround her.

Felicia let out a small whimper as she rolled her head to the side, trying to get used to the lights. She slowly opened her eyes and saw everyone surrounding her.

Seeing their worried expressions, Felicia couldn't help but want to make a joke. "What a crazy party, am I right guys?"

But even though Felicia tried to joke about the situation, they still saw the way her lips quivered as she spoke, which broke their hearts.

Lydia immediately hugged Felicia, tears in her eyes. "It's alright, honey. You're safe; you don't have anything to worry about," she said as tears rolled down her face.

"What are you talking about? I'm okay–" Felicia was going to reaffirm that she was fine until tears started rolling down her face, turning into sobs.

"I was so scared," she sobbed as she clung to her mother.

"Thank you, Peter. Thank you," she cried.

Gwen's and MJ's eyes started to water hearing her cries, while Peter just looked down and nodded his head.

"We'll leave you alone with your mom. We'll be right outside if you need anything," Peter said reassuringly.

Peter then looked towards the others as they left the room, leaving Felicia some time with her mother.

As they exited the room, MJ and Gwen wiped their eyes, cleaning away the tears that were slowly building up.

Just then, Harry appeared rushing towards them. As he arrived, he handed back their items.

"What happened? How is she? Is she alright?" Harry asked, looking pretty worried.

Peter nodded his head, leading them away from the door. "She just woke up; her mother is there with her."

Harry let out a sigh of relief. "That's good."

"So, what happened after we left?" Gwen asked.

"Even when we shut everything down, they didn't want to leave, so they left us no choice but to call the police. Once they arrived, it became a huge mess. People were getting tackled left and right; some were arrested for possessing drugs. They even called an ambulance for the guy Peter beat up; he should be here in one of the rooms, getting treated."

Their eyes widened upon hearing that. Before Peter had a chance to move, Gwen and MJ put a hand on his chest, stopping him.

He looked at them with an awkward expression. "Am I that predictable?"

"Yes," they all said at the same time, even Harry agreeing.

"But we can't let him get away with this scot-free," Peter said in annoyance, clenching his fist slightly.

"And he's not," Lydia said, her words containing deep emotions as she stepped out of the room, wiping away tears from her face.

She smiled gratefully towards Peter. "Thank you once more, Peter, for looking after my daughter."

"How is she?" MJ asked anxiously.

"She fell asleep once again; she exhausted herself crying," Lydia said, smiling towards MJ before looking back at Peter.

"As I was saying, Felicia might not have told you, but I'm a lawyer, and a pretty good one at that. So, I'll make sure he pays for what he did to my daughter; that you can be sure of," Lydia said, her eyes igniting with fury.

She calmed herself down and looked towards the others softly. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some calls to make."

"It still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth just not doing anything," Gwen muttered, a sentiment they all could agree with.

MJ then turned towards Harry and asked, "How's Lizzy doing?"

Harry closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "She feels guilty about the entire thing. She thinks that if she just canceled the thing, none of this would have happened."

After a few more minutes of their discussion, Lydia came back. "I think it'll be alright if you guys go home for now. It's getting late, and you kids can come back together tomorrow. Tomorrow she might already be discharged from the hospital, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Are you sure?" Gwen asked.

Lydia just nodded her head. 'It's nice to see Felicia has made some friends that care about her deeply.'

Reluctantly, they started exiting as they knew Lydia was right; it was best for them to come back tomorrow.

They got into Peter's car, and Peter started driving them all home in silence, none of them being in the mood to talk or discuss anything.

After dropping off Harry, Peter then dropped off MJ, giving each other a sideways cheek kiss as goodbye.

Peter and Gwen then headed towards their hideout. Once they arrived and Peter parked his car, he immediately went to his computer section.

"Aria, search through the camera and everything about a teenager coming in with a broken face at the hospital we were just at. To shorten the search, he was checked in today, a few minutes ago."

After a few seconds, Aria pulled out the files that read his full name, age, date of birth, and his address along with much more information.

"Ryan Graham… so that's his name…" Gwen muttered.

"Search for anything illegal about him, like records where he almost went to prison and things like that," Peter asked, typing away at the computer.

After a few minutes, more information appeared. Gwen heard her own knuckles pop from how angry she clenched her fist upon reading the information provided.

"What do you mean he has a list of times where he was charged with rape but was suddenly dropped?" Gwen asked with a venom-filled voice.

"It looks like his dad is rich; he's buying his way out of these crimes…" Peter said with an apathetic expression, his fingers fastly moving along the keyboard.

After he was done, which took him close to an hour, he said, "Aria, acquire Lydia Hardy's phone number."

After a few seconds, Peter says it appears, "Send her all the information we just acquired; it has all the crimes he has committed alongside any shady and illegal dealings the father had committed," Peter said, commanding Aria and informing Gwen of what he is sending, which caused her to smirk with a bloodthirsty look.

…

Lydia was next to Felicia, rubbing her hair with a sad and loving look when she felt her phone ring.

As she opened it, she read everything inside. After a few minutes, she stared at her phone in disbelief, then grinned before looking at her phone with apprehension.

She let out a small chuckle before shaking her head. "What a scary and frightening kid, to think he was able to acquire all of this in such a very short time. It looks like I owe him big time for this. This would be more than enough to make him pay for what he did, I don't care if I suddenly make them homeless and watch them starve in the streets. They will suffer the consequences"
