Matt sat up in his bed. "I don't get it...I remember walking out of Alex's hosue...and then...I was in this really cold and dark room...and the Suits were interogating me....And then I could of swore I heard you...and you...and Alex...and Tao...but...I though I was mad....and then they left me alone..and It got reallly really really cold...." he said. He was having trouble describing what he went through. "I thought I died..."
Ashle held his hand, "You did die on us there for a little bit...Matt, you've been in a coma for three days..." she said softly.
Matt looked at her. "A-A coma?" He looked at both of them. "So...you mean, while I back in Wonderland...I was...asleep? Dreaming?" he asked.

Marcie looked up whit a smile "Yes, it was dream for the most part, we did talk to you though, so maybe you heard us in there" she stall had some tears on her eyes but she couldn't help the extreme happiness at Matt regaining consciousness "You hit your head on the sky ring" she added as an explication.

Jack froze, attempting to keep his face straight.
As I thought; she cannot be fooled . . . she probably knows about my tuberculosis . . .
"I have gotten my share of rest," he lied. He barely slept the night before.
A fast pace though. Hmm, perhaps he is stronger than I thought.
"A medical revision, Ace of Clubs? Well, normally, that is the job of the Jack of Clubs, but he is rather busy at the moment, bringing in new prisoners from the resistance and interrogating them."
Raven glanced at Dan, smiling as he took the shirt. "Thank you," he said cheerily, slipping his arms and head through the shirt.
Does he know about Marchy's true life? That she is from another world?
Raven handed Dan a cup of tea. "I do hope you like it. What do you take in your tea? Sugar? Honey? Cream? Does Marchy even have any other sweetener?" Raven glanced around the kitchen.

Ace of clubs smiled a bit more "Ah! more lab rats, how lovely" she chirped "Would you like some sleeping pills sir? they are quiet efficient, and for the anemia you don't need to take supplements at all, just make sure you consume the right foods, I can make you a list if you want, Jack of clubs seems to have a liking for pills so I am surprised he hasn't stuffed you some yet" she said snickering, why she had actually noticed the shortage on some tuberculosis medicaments that where apparently unjustified, they weren't on the storage, she was sure, maybe this was the reason? Jack of diamond's was so secretive it wouldn't surprise her if he hid his illness.
"Ah, well... I have learnt a couple things about tea from Marchy, but I usually take it alone, she did mention Breakfast tea goes well with milk...What kind of tea is this?" he asked looking at his cup suspiciously, beside's Marcie's tea, which held no bitterness, he hadn't really tried any other, not even on the restaurants.

Matt shook his head, "I remember that..I was skating fast..and I hit a bump...and I flew...and hit the ice..." he said. He looked at Marcie and Ashle, who both had tears running down their cheeks. "Aw, come one Ladies. One Hatter isn't enough to go crying over!" he said, trying to joke around.

Jack took a moment to think about it. "I suppose some sleeping medication would be alright," he said with a sigh.
He snickered. "The Jack of Clubs is a strong believer in medication," he said quietly, thinking of all the medication Gestalt pushed on him.
"A list of foods . . . please do."
I tire of medication . . . still, that isoniazid causes stomach pain and nausea. I'm lacking appetite . . .
Raven felt his cheeks warm slightly. "Jasmine tea," he said. "I like the sweetness!"
He still stood, unsure of what Dan would want with his tea now.
"Do you like jasmine tea?"

Marcie smiled and wiped off her tears with the free hand she had, she didn't want to let go of Matt's hand, it was a feeling similar to the one she had when she had held raven's hand, only stronger and more defined, she knew raven could be killed at any given moment because of his position as a suit but she was not ready to loose Matt on a million years "You are right, Matty, dear, is no time for tears, why, we must be thrilled that you are with us! How are you feeling?" She asked smiling widely at him.
"Medicine can't cure it all" She said smiling sweetly "not yet at least" Ace of clubs added as she reached for the sleeping medicine "But that is what we are researching for, right?" she said handing Jack of diamonds the bottle of pills "You will need to take two before going to sleep" she said as she looked through some documents to find the food list for anemia "I guarantee you a dreamless sleep for 8 hours, ah! here" she said finding the print outs and handing a copy to the Jack of diamonds.
"You don't have any stomach problems do you sir? some of this foods can be a little heavy... or allergies?" Ace of clubs asked taking a look at a copy of the list she had just handed Jack of diamonds, had she had access to his medical files there would be no need to ask, but as it was it was all she could do: Ask.
"I'll take it" Dan said and took a sip of the tea, he smiled at the familiar taste, it was weaker than the one Marcie made but the taste was not bad, well it was Marcie's blend after all, maybe the problem had been on the brewing? brewing was difficult, he had tried a couple times and gave up after getting the strangest tastes, well, his attempts hadn't been that bad but, maybe, after trying Marcie's tea he just couldn't take someone else's in the same way, there was just something special about the way she made it, as if she poured her soul in to it.
"It's good" Dan said smiling and leaving the cup on the table, Marcie's tea brought back memories, she had forced him to drive her all over town just to get the ingredients, she was so scandalised when he asked what was the difference between making your own tea and the one they sold at the supermarket, the memory always made him smile, specially because after the whole thing she had brought some crystal bottles and asked him to borrow his acrylic paints and a brush, she had painted and labeled each crystal bottle herself whit a rosette, it was real nice watching her work. "So... let me ask you Mr. Raven spades, what are your intentions towards my Wife?" He asked raven with a smirk, he was not going to drop the subject that easily.

It didn't take Jack long to think about his answer. "I don't take heavy food well," he said, manipulating the truth.
That damn medication makes me sick when I eat . . .
"But tell that to the Jack of Clubs, Ace," he said, holding the paper and putting both hands behind his back. "He believes that medication outclasses natural cures." He kept his face straight, not wanting to look even more sick than he did in the presence of the Ace of Clubs.
She's a sharp woman, the Ace of Clubs. She looks into your eyes and knows everything that ails you. Luckily, Gestalt's "eyes" are covered . . . even though he's technically eyeless . . .
Rave stared blankly at Dan. The question was indeed a sudden one. What were his intentions to Marcie?
Raven stared into his tea. She's a lovely woman that showed me that it is possible to love again . . . even if all I am feeling after knowing her for so little time is a very strong attraction. I wouldn't want to go without her, nonetheless. She's a precious woman.
He stared at the ceiling with a smile. "I guess you could say I don't want to go without her. I wish to spend as much time with her as possible. She's an interesting woman that I do not wish to let out of my life."
Raven glanced at Dan, the smile not leaving his face. "I don't wish to hurt her or put her life in peril. So, I will do all in my power to keep her safe." Raven knew that this statement was partially false; being a Suit, he was a magnet for trouble. The Two of Spades was also after him and the blood bath he had created not too long ago could not have been forgotten. Despite this, a part of Raven's heart yearned to keep Marcie, the White Knight, safe.

His stomach growled. He smiled a wide smile. "LIke I haven't eaten in three days...." he said. He eyed the take out. "Marcie, please explain to me what's in the folding box? It smells absolutely marvolus..." he said.
Ashle got up and said, "Sorry, guys, but I have to go. My mom's gonna want to know where I've been..." She shot a look of fear to Marcie. She then smiled at Matt and said, "Hope you get better..." she said. She then walked out. Matt had barely noticed her.
Matt had tried to say to not go, but he couldn't get the words out of his throat. He looked at Marcie, and then away. He looked out the window in the room.

Marcie sighed, this felt awkward... "Well, it is called Chinese food" She said going for the food and grabbing the chopsticks, she then thought it better and grabbed the fork instead "Here, try it" she said handing him the food and then taking out her cell phone, looking for Ashle's number 'If anything happens, my offer is still standing, come to the hospital and I'll give you my key wink ...and Ashle, thank you, for everything' she wrote and pressed send, she was a little sad she couldn't even say goodbye but Ashle had left in such a hurry...
Ace of clubs smiled and took a pen from her lab coat "okay then sir, I'll be sure to tell Mr. Jack of clubs to stop pestering you with medicine, i don't think he will listen to me though, now for the foods, meat is usually the best but you might like to keep the consumption to the minimum if you 'don't take heavy food well' you might also like to stay away from curry powder and fermented foods, the next best thing is beetroot juice, it can increase the uptake of oxygen by even 400%, Blackstrap molasses, green foods and herbs and dried food are good too so you might like to include them in your diet" she said making some notes on the list, crossing away things and writing 'forbidden' in a blank space
"Also, you might like to avoid coffee and tea, alcohol, candy, dairy products and pork" she said writing this down on the page "Should i give a copy of this list to the kitchen staff, sir?" there was no use on giving it to Jack of clubs, he probably already knew all this information and he obviously knew about Jack of diamonds condition, the important thing was to make Jack of diamonds aware of his situation.
"Interesting...?" Dan replied playing with his teacup a little before taking another sip of tea, the more he drank it the more different it tasted, it was not bitter, it couldn't be all too bitter being a floral blend, but then again there was this after taste at the back of his mouth that he couldn't recognize "Yes, she is interesting indeed" Dan said quietly, he didn't hear 'make her happy' anywhere around and that worried him, this guy sounded quiet selfish and that bothered him, Marcie had the bad habit of giving it all to those she loved without asking anything in return, and that last phrase of raven... not put her life in peril? was Marcie in some kind of danger? who was this guy?
"oh, if you hurt her you are not going to live to count it Mr. Raven spades, that goes on my account, unfortunately i know my friend and i am more afraid she could hurt you if you are serious about her" Dan said looking at the teacup and taking another sip, was it him or did the tea tasted more bitter each time he drank it? maybe it was just getting cold...
((I am hating Ace of clubs for being so damn loyal to her Hippocratic Oath as a medic... and Gestalt has no eyes? O.o??))

Matt tried it. "Hmm...this is good," he said quietly. He felt a sinking feeling in his chest. He looked at Marcie. "marcie...I'm sorry about earlier...When we had that fight...but...I'm...." He took a deep breath. "I cant love you. I...don't want to...But..The way that your acting...It's like you already know that..." he said softly. He looked at her. He smiled. "It's the Ace, isn't it?"
Ashle read the text message. She smiled slightly. She was dreading going home today. She had a feeling her mother was angry again. She had a feeling she was drunk again. And she had a feelin that things were about to get worse. When she pulled into her driveway, and was met by her mother.
"Where the hell have you been, b***h," asked the woman. She was once beautiful, with lovely chesnut hair and bouncing curls. Her face was once wrinkle free and her brown eyes once had a deep loving sparkle to them. But all of that was gone, all eat away by the drink.
Ashle got out of the car. "My friend is in the hospital, Mother," she said softly. "I had to watch him for the night. He's fine now..." She started to walk towards the door. Her mother caught her hair, and pulled her to the ground.
"Liar. You were over at that Alex girl's place again, weren't you?!," he mother asked her. Her breath was rank with the smell of whiskey. "You were telling her all about me! Don't think I didn't notice the dishes in the dishwater, and the missing box of brownies! I wanted some this morning. I go to your room, and your gone. Just like usual." She sneered. "You're going to pay for that, whore."
Ashle winced at the word. "Mom, you're drunk. Let me up, please..." she asked, her voice begging. She knew what was about to happen. Just like that, her mother's hand whiped across her face. She kept the cry of pain in her throat. If she cried out in the yard, she'd just get beaten even worse in the house.

((Awww! T^T Tammy you are horrible!! *hugs Ashle*))
Marcie smiled, sadness in her eyes "I was never honest with you Matt, so i don't blame you for not loving me after how much i hut you in so little" She then sighed and sat on the bed 'are you using him like the others?' Dan's question rang on her mind "Ace... Well, he is nice and i get the feeling i just want to make him happy but... I am afraid i might be just transferring the feeling i had for you until now on to him" she said whit a small blush, it was not easy for her to speak about it but she needed to.

((*evil face*))
Matt sat up, and held her hand, "Marcie, there's something I learned in my dream. There are a few different kinds of love. I just realized that I do love you, but as a big sister, and my shoulder to cry on. And you must understand that's how you feel about me, and I know this. But with the Ace, I can see it in your eyes. It's not the same love that I see when I'm with you. Do you understand..." He squeezed her hand. "Our positions are kinda reversed, don't you think. Me telling you who you love..." He laughed softly.
((You get no more Ashle descriptions for now))

Marcie looked at Matt smiling, if that was what the boy wanted she would comply, no matter how much it hurt, it was her own fault after all that she had been so stupid, she ruffled Matt's hair and smiled "And you tell me that now!" She said snickering a little to cover her sadness, there was no point in fighting a lost battle "I hate you so much" She whispered kissing his forehead and smiling sweetly, trying as best as she could to keep the pain at bay.

Matt smiled, "I hate you too, Marcie." He hugged her. He then let go, "What's up with Ashle?" he asked, his voice a little worried. "She got out of here really quick."
Ashle had just made it inside, and been able to get to her room and lock the door. Her mother was trying to break it down. She grabbed a duffle bag and stuffed as much stuff as she could into it. She called Marcie. come on, Marcie, pick up, she prayed. Her face was probly all cut up, cause it felt like it was on fire. Her arms where bruised from where her mother had held her down. She had two black eyes.
