Lizzie rolled her eyes, but she took that as her cue to leave. She had a business arrangement set up and she wanted to get back to the rest of her family before they realised where she was, and also just because she wanted to see her big brother's face again. It was hard, thinking someone you loved was dead and gone, to have that person back was a miracle.

Tony would be left with only the nurses and Happy for company for the next two whole days, slowly improving, but with no visits from any of the Barnes clan. Maybe he had been forgotten after all...

But at least the machines were being reduced, and the nurses said he could get up that day and start moving around again, build up the muscles that had got weakened during his time imprisoned and in the hospital.
