(Two days later)

Kim was biting on her thumb as she was pacing. It's been two, days Jason hasn't woken up and the Doctor is slowly coming out. Andy being there as well, with Elizabeth beside him, he had Pampers on Skyla searching duty. He has to stay face, so he has a press conference scheduled this afternoon to recover from this beating Facina received.

The Doctor said "He's going to be okay" Kim looked so relieved as those words. "But.." which caused both her, and for the first time Andy, to lock up. "No more fighting, the bullet pierced a part of his spine and nerviness system. We had it fixed but...there is a chance that to high amount of physical activity could...reactivate the injury, and he would never feel anything from the waste down again."

Kim looked at him quietly and thought about Jason's crusade and how much he wanted to save Facina from corruption and greed. Make the city safe again, all the beatings, all the near death experiences, it was all for that. Yet now...that dream...it's dead.

Andy stood up and said "Kim, I'm sorry, but I got that conference today, and I need to speak to him alone anyways. I'm sorry for stepping in front of you" He stood up and said "I'll be right back, Elizabeth."

There was silence as he walked into Jason's hospital room, the younger brother breathing heavily, his breath hitching as the only other sound was the door closing and the heart monitor beeping. A chair was scooted next to the bed, as Andy looked at Jason looking away from him. Jason whispered "Guess you win" said the heartbroken Jason. "Can't stop you if I can't walk"

Andy said "You can still walk, but I get your point." Suddenly there was a loud smack that echoed in the room. "And what the fuck do you mean I win?" stated Andy with clear anger in his voice. "Do you think I want this?"

"Well, yeah, I've been trying to take apart your organization. My track record not withstanding" Jason said quietly.

"Yeah, I know," Andy said "And I hated you for it, not anymore."

Coldly, Jason looked away muttering "because i can't stop you"

"Because, you fucking idiot, you did one damn thing that I can't ever fix or replace. One MAJOR victory. And I'm not talking about Wild Devils, it was to old school anyways" was Andy's response to that. "Trust me, go digital and you'll make a fortune"

"Well, then what!" the venom came from the distraught Jason as he glared draggers at his older brother, head throbbing from the back of the head, not from Andy's slap, but from his anger.

"You made me realize how much you fucking mean to me" Andy said admitting it finally, to himself and Jason. "I admit it, you mean a lot to me. If we ever did have a showdown, I would have spoken fondly at your funeral. I would set Kim for fucking life!"

Jason looked at the older brother as Andy stated "When you first came I hated you, you were a part of my life I wanted to forget. Then...everything with Asuka happened, the first time. When we talked, I was putting on a face at first but...you made me smile. When I thought Asuka killed you, if Skyla wasn't there and needed me right away, I was prepared to burn down the entire damn city to kill Asuka. Then Carpinello happened, we were there for each other. We worked together, I felt like a family with you. Plus the times you watch Elizabeth to make sure she was okay"

He sighed "So Jason Black, if there was a fight you won." Andy wiped his eyes a bit. "Because now, I don't want you out of my life. I want you in it, not the life you don't like, but my actual life"

Jason looked at his hands "I'm scared you know" his heart thumping you bit. "Thank you, what you say means a lot but, I threw myself at this. I put everything into this, and now what do I have?"

"Well first of you dolt me" Andy, making sure his point came across, "Second off, Kim? You know that girl who is probably bawling for you right now, and needs you now more than ever" He went on "And don't you have a mansion and a butt ton of money because of some bribes? Jason, you'll be fine. Plus, if you ever get in trouble, I'll be there" Jason looked at Andy shocked at that getting quiet.

Jason whispered quietly "Thank you Andy"

Andy gently hugged his brother to be careful but Jason pulled him in. Jason said "I'm not made out of glass. Just no more fights, this is fine though, bro"

The brothers broke the embrace as Andy said "If you and Kim need anything, call me." Jason nodded "I wish I could stay, but I gotta address the press, with the death of Carpinello and Tyler's arrest, a lot of his dirty laundry has been uncovered. The Martial Law has been lifted, but the government isn't going to pay for repairs of the damage he did. Said Facina now looks like how it's crime rate is." Andy stated "I aim to change that, if not, I'll fund the fucking repairs myself. This city is our home damn it, and I've had enough of it being shat on"

Andy made his way out and motioned as Kim made her way in as Elizabeth followed Andy loyally. It was time for damage control.
