Mark slowly wakes up from his deep slumber. Just breathing made his chest hurt bad. With a headache included, what a bad start to wake up. He looks at his body, covered in bandages from all the beatings he took. He also notices some medical equipment on him. He could barely remember what happened from his fight with Pandemonium. The headache almost made him forget it. He then looks around to see that he's at a hospital and finds Ruby next to the bed, sitting while she's sleeping. She too has some bandages wrapped around her arms. He smiles and sighs in relief. At least Ruby is alright. He was just closing his eyes, thinking about something, and then Ruby wakes up. She looks up to see Mark, awake at last. She gasped in happiness and starts to cry. She slowly walks to Mark as he gives her a smile and greets her.
Mark: Heh. Good morning, sweetheart.
Ruby hugs him lightly so that she won't hurt him more because of his ribcage. Mark raised his one hand and hugs Ruby, as he too is crying with happiness.
Mark: Ruby... I'm so happy you're okay.
Ruby: I... thought you wouldn't make it... I'm sorry... I-
Mark pushes her lightly off the hug and slowly moves in for a kiss, making Ruby surprise. They both back up after.
Mark: I'm sorry, too, for worrying you. I really thought I wouldn't make it either.
Ruby is just happy to know Mark is alive and well, showing a smile as she wipes off her tears.
Ruby: Are you feeling better?
Mark: A bit. I'm still feeling my fractured ribs. But mostly, I'm good. I was also gonna ask if you're okay.
Ruby: It's all good. I just got some bruises, which isn't a big deal.
Mark: Alright.
He remembers something.
Mark: Where are the others?
Just then, CJ, Max and Abel entered the room, again, also with bandages on them.
CJ: Glasses! You're awake!
Abel: Yo, dude, you've been asleep for like... A week or something.
This made Mark surprised.
Mark: Wait, I slept that long?
Max: Yeah, man. You doing good?
Mark: I'm good, you guys. What about you?
CJ: We're good.
He gives a thumbs up.
Max: Mostly. That punch on the gut last week was painful as heck, though. But hey, I'm also good.
Abel: Me, too! You're actually lucky we saved you. Panda Man was gonna kill you if we didn't wake up from the blows.
Mark: Heh, well, thanks. And I have to say, you and Max did very well while we're in that situation. You guys did great.
CJ: Hell yeah! And for that, I think these two deserve to be in the team! I'd say they're ready!
The two cheered.
Ruby: That's great to hear!
Vade, Faith and Olley entered as well.
Faith: Oh hey, bro!
They gasped to see Mark awake.
Faith: Oh, Mark!
Vade: Phew, thank goodness, you're awake. We're getting worried too that you aren't going to be awake soon.
Mark: Don't worry, girls. I'm up now.
He notice that Vade has her arm wrapped up in a cast.
Mark: Oh, and Vade, what happened to your arm?
Vade: Well, while fighting Ruby's mom with the other girls, I bumped my arm in the process. I'm out for hero work with you, I guess.
CJ: Well, it's better since we all deserve a break after that fiasco.
Olley felt as happy as the rest, but remembers something.
Olley: Hang on.
The other's looked at Olley with confusion.
Faith: What is it?
Olley: I thought Mark's Dad is coming here for his break.
Mark: Huh? Dad?
They hear running and Olley takes a peak outside. Mark's Dad arrived just in time. He wants to see him now, so he quickly gets in.
Mark's Dad: Is my son alright?!
Mark was completely surprised to see his father. His father quickly rushes in and hugs him. Mark hugs his father back as he's happy to see him.
Mark's Dad: Thank the Lord you are alright... I really thought you're gone for good...
Mark: Sorry, dad... I really didn't mean to make you worried. I should say the same for my friends.
The rest smiled.
CJ: Don't sweat it, man. On the bright side, your AOK. That's all it matters, so no need to apologize.
Mark: Heh, thanks, leader.
Mark's Dad: The doctor says you have to stay out of hero work for one month. And they did allow us to take you home.
Vade: A one-month break from hero work is good. At least we get to destroy Briant and Shine's base, so they also can't do anything for now.
CJ: That's good news. On Command, we save the day once again! And for that, we all deserve a break!
The team cheers in happiness and the father decides to join in. Ruby and Mark look at each other and smile at each other. They have overcome that hell of a fiasco and gets to live off their life easy for now. They defeat their villains once again and once they fully heal, they'll get back to their usual normal life.
...
"Oh, well... Live your life... "Wolf"... We'll see you again soon..."
The End
(Welp, and you finally reached the end, y'all. I'm afraid this is where this book ends. But don't worry, I'll still continue making more books. For now, though, I'm dried out of ideas, so let me know some ideas of what book I should make next. Also, I wanna say thank you all for the small popularity I'm getting from this book. I never expect my first book to have many people liking it, but hey, I'm happy about it. Thanks for reading this book and I'll see you all again in the next book. See you all and have a great day!)

Mark x Ruby stuff (On Command Au)
RomanceY'know, Mark needs some show time for once. He was barely been used for any other kinds of videos, arts on Twitter, and such, which, besides Briant, is a pretty underrated character, even if I saw him on some fan arts. Right here, right now, is his...
