Artemis and Apollo walked into the Base, Nightingale and Lark at their sides. Between the two of them they carried Phoenix; she was still unconcious. They brought her into the infirmery and layed her down on the metal table in the center of the room. "I'll go and get Lightning," Artemis said, then ran out of the room to find her friend.
Apollo sighed and pulled aniseptic, bandages, and some ointment out of the cupboards behind him. He set the things on the tray next to the table, then waited for Artemis to return with Lightning.

NightFire arrived with her human friends. "Do you know of anywhere they can stay?" She asked Apollo. She hoped so. Before anyone could answer she curled up on Phoenix's lap and went to sleep.
FlameFlower, her father and sister watched NightFire sleep. They decided not to wake her.

"You can stay in Lightning's room," Apollo said. "She never stays in there anyway. I don't think she even has anything in it." He sighed; sometimes it took forever to find Lightning. It was hard to predict where she would be, she was awful hard to read.
Artemis ran in with Lightning right behind her. "Lightning, re-dress her wounds. The other bandages got awful dirty," She said, pointing to Phoenix and all of the supplies next to her on the tray.
"Fine," Lightning murmered, then got to work. She steralized all of Phoenix's cuts, then re-bandaged them. When she was finished she threw the old bandages in the garbage and washed off her hands.

NightFire watched them. "Oh, Hello Lightning. How are you?" She asked. She flew up to Lightning's head and sat down on it. She knew that Lightning would hate that. But she sensed that the evil that Phoenix and her brother and sister defeated, wasn't gone for good. *There is more trouble coming* she thought. Flameflower and her father and sister waited. "Will you take us to the room?" Jake asked Apollo. WhiteFire watched her mother. She thought, for a second that Phoenix's hand moved. When she looked again, her mother's hand was still. Phoenix's crystal was becoming brighter. Suddenly it looked as if it had 3 more crystals inside of it. One crystal, that looked like a flower with Flames around it, fastened itself around FlameFlower's neck. The second Crystal, which was a white and orange crystal fastened itself around WhiteFire's neck. The third and last crystal, beside's Phoenix's, was black and gold. It fastened itself around NightFire's neck. NightFire looked at the crystal. It was small, but she could tell it held great power. She looked at the other crystals and could tell that they, too, held great power. But Phoenix's held the most power. It glowed the brightest of all the other three crystals. Phoenix's wings began to look as if they would burn the building down. NightFire knew that Phoenix was seeing into the future and that it didn't look good. She could only hope that Phoenix would wake up, and soon. A storm raged outside. It had started right after Phoenix was brought to the base. The sky was completly black. THere was hail the size of dodgeballs[that sounds like fun. anyone up for a gome of DODGEBALL?]. Only the lightning lit up the sky. THe rain was coming down in buckets. Even if the sky wasn't completely black you wouldn't be able to see. Thunder crashed. If you were outside you might just go deaf. NightFire went out to see if she could find out when it would let up. She can back a few moments later completely soaked. "You won't stand a chance out there. The river is in full flood. Anyone who goes out there will most likely die," NightFire said. She flew back on top of Lightning's head.

Lightning sighed and placed NightFire on the table next to Phoenix. Stupid cat," she muttered, glaring at the black and white fuzzball on the table. She placed her hands palm down on the table and looked at Artemis, waiting for further instructions. "Anything else you need?" She asked, begining to get bored.
Artemis shook her head no, then said, "You had better stick around incase something happens to Phoenix." She walked over to Apollo. "What are we going to do? Phoenix is really hurt... What if she dies? Bella would probably have our heads if we let her die," She muttered, her eyes filled with worry.
Apollo nodded, knowing what Artemis meant. "At least Lightning isn't the one hurt; she'd flip out if we tried to help her," Apollo said, shuddering at the memory of the first time he had tried to help Lightning. She had had a cut on her arm, and Apollo was going to put a bandage on it for her; Lightning had thrown him through a wall.

"Why? What happened when you tried to help Lightning?" NightFire asked. She wondered what he would say. "Come on NightFire. Let's go find the room," Jake said. He walked away. WhiteFire followed him. FlameFlower asked her aunt, "Will mother be alright?" She hoped so. She watched as NightFire flew up to FlameFlower's head and sat down. "Should NightFire stay here in case you need to talk to us quickly? Or need to find something quickly?" She asked.
Phoenix was still lying on the table. She was breathing, but it was shallow and faint. One wing-tip moved slightly.
FlameFlower then asked, "Why would Bella have your heads if mother dies? Is mother very important?"

"She threw me through a wall!" Apollo exclaimed, rubbing the back of his head. He blinked, not wanting to remember the sharp pain that had cursed him for nearly three whole months.
"Your mother is pretty important...I think," Artemis said, suddenly confusing herself. "Well, Bella doesn't like to lose team members. Let's put it that way," She finished, glancing at Apollo.

"Oh...I mother still even breathing? I can't hear her..." FlameFlower asked. She looked around. She then went to the door. She walked outside. She had always liked storms. She began to cry. She thought her mother was going to die.
NightFire looked at the other people. "Maybe someone who knows her mother well should go and comfort her. Remember what happened last time someone ran outside crying. They got kidnapped," NightFire said.

"Why don't you go, you fuzzball?" Lightning said irritably, she was to busy making sure Phoenix was alright to really care. They didn't have very good medical equipment, which made things hard.
Apollo and Artemis sighed at the same time. "I'll go," Artemis said, glancing at her brother. "You stay here and help Lightning," she instructed as she headed outside. When she got out to where FlameFlower was, she saw Nightingale was already with her, lying at her feet.

FlameFlower was crying her heart out. She hadn't seen her mother in 9 years, and now when she finally finds her mother, she is practically dead. The rain was coming down hard. She was soaked. She was scared.

Nightingale lifted her head and layed it across the girls lap and gazing at her face meaningfully. She whined, wanting FlameFlower to stop crying...and a scratch behind the ears wouldn't hurt either.
Artemis walked up behind FlameFlower and said, "Hey. Why're you crying? Lightning will take good care of your Mother."

FlameFlower scratched Nightingale behind the ears. She was scared. She sneezed. "I want my mommy to be awake!" She cried. She knew that the storm would last until Phoenix awoke. "I want her to live! I want someone to let me cry on their shoulder! I want someone to want me!" New tears ran down her cheeks. Her crystal was getting wet.

"She'll be alright," Artemis said, sitting down and putting her arm around FlameFlower's shoulders. "I promise that Lightning won't let her die; Lightning and Phoenix are really good friends; Lightning would never let Phoenix die."
Nightingale licked the girl's hand, then seemed to smile at her.

"But I thought that Lightning hated everyone. She doesn't seem to like people that much," FlameFlower said. She was worried.

"Well, she doesn't. But her and Phoenix have been friends for a long time," Artemis said, brushing a lock of FlameFlower's hair behind her ear. "Lightning won't let her die, I promise."
