Chapter 10: A new life.

In the hospital, Livia was slowly recovering. Steve, after a while, opened his eyes. He still feels weak, but soon sees Adam and Livia in the room. He turns to Livia and extends his hand to her. She holds his hand and looks into his eyes. She felt a little relieved that he was alive. He, in a weak voice, asks the doctor, Melanie, and Adam to leave them alone for a moment. Lenny, the little girl, and Adam leave the room. Steve tries hard to talk and says to Livia:

- You worried me, damn!

- Me? You were the one dying and coming back. How do you throw yourself from a moving car and fights toe to

toe with a mutant? You idiot - sympathetically answers Livia.

- It was a pickup truck, not exactly a car - replies him, with sarcasm.

- It doesn't make it any better - answers Livia.

- Well, it was you who out of nowhere cut your arm off - said Steve, provoking her.

- I had to, ok - returns her, awkward.
