(I fixed it)
Caleb marveled at what this new person was doing. He had seen Mica's powers, but nothing like this had ever crossed his mind. "Mica, stay with me." he said, tearing his shirt into strips for makeshift bandages. He heard Bruce questioning the creature, and a few things were starting to make sense. Caleb picked Mica up and quickly headed in the direction of home where he had more medical supplies at his disposal.

Mica felt the reassuring presence of Caleb. She slowly stirred to a hazy state of consciousness as she spoke his name. She felt as he picked her up easily within his stong embrace. "Are you alright?" she asked as she felt the darkness take her again. Her body fell limp within Caleb's arms.

"I'm fine" he said, right before she passed out. Caleb quickly ran back to the house and laid Mica on the bed so he could look at her wounds.

Mica's skin was pale and cold. Her breathing was shallow and emitted rasping noises with every breath she took. Her clothes were wet with sweat and blood, her body shaking. She was dying.
Kyra sat near the bed, her blue eyes showing flashes of anger. She could save her but was told, no ordered, not to interfere. She felt the council calling her back. Kyra looked at Caleb. "I must go. It's up to you and Bruce now. Her life is in your hands." Kyra turned toward the open portal and disappeared.
Mica's head slowly rolled back and forth. She mumblled Bruce's name as she slipped further away from them.

Bruce fumed in rage, burying the creature up to its nose in the ground and running to Mica. He knelt beside her, watching in horror as she slowly fell away from this world.
"Mica," he said softly. "Stay with me"

Mica heard Bruce talking to her. It sounded as if he was a million miles away. She could not find her way back to him as the darkness enveloped her.

Bruce cried in pain, feeling his heart following her. Panic gripped him. He looked around, wondering what he could do. Then a thought occurred to him. He had been able to do whatever he wanted to that creature, maybe he could do something similar to Mica. He closed his eyes, feeling the familiar sensation of the power, gripping it and pulling it to him. He opened his eyes, reaching his hand down to her side, placing his palm over it. He concentrated on stitching everything together, of sealing the wound. Slowly, the skin closed and the organs within healed. Still, he continued until he could feel her heart beat return to normal rates, replacing the blood she had lost. He slumped beside her, his heart beating quickly. He had been concentrating so hard, he had forgotten to breath.
"Mica," he said softly, holding her face in his. "I'm here. You're alive."

Mica felt the warmth envelope her. 'Is this what death is like?' she asked as Kyra came to her in her mind's eye. Mica lay in between the veil of life and death. Kyra laughed softly as she nuzzled Mica's cheek. 'No little one. The time for death is not upon you yet. You have been reunited with the hunter. Your bond, the power you share, the same but different. Bruce is the hunter. His love saved you. His power healed you. The same power that lies within you. When you join together as one in body, heart and soul...then the power will be truly freed within you. The two of you, the Hunter and the Huntress, united will cut a path through the forces on both worlds. Only the two of you can discover the true extent of these powers. They are different in every rebirth but always magnificent. The Hunter and the Huntress love each other in every life. That love is the strength and source of the true power.' Kyra lowered her head as she continued to speak. 'If one dies, the other dies. That is the weakness of the power. What one feels, the other mirrors. There are many things for you to discover together.'
'Caleb will be an invaluable guide to you. Listen to him and heed his counsel. Your bond with him is also unique. You hear his thoughts as if he were speaking to you from across the room no matter the distance between you. Through the strength of Caleb's heart, you have been able to sense the feelings in him and others as if they were spoken to you. He is the force that grounds you. Now it is time little one. Go back. There is much work to be done.'
Mica felt the power envelope her. She heard Bruce's voice calling to her as she felt herself pulling back to him. She opened her eyes slowly. A soft smile came to her lips as she held a hand to Caleb, the other reaching to softly touch Bruce's cheek. Her voice was soft as she spoke. "Are you two alright?"

Bruce cried in joy when he saw Mica's eye open. He kissed her lips softly, looking into her eyes.
"Yes," he said with a smile. "We're both alright. Don't ever leave me like that again, Mica. I don't want to lose you." He held her tight to him as he cried, a feeling deep within him stirring, but not the power he had felt earlier. Something more powerful. Love.

Mica smiled as he held her tightly. "I'm sorry. I didn't plan...I just..." she closed her eyes as she shook her head softly. "I was worried about you and I thought I was going to loose you. I felt anger, rage, fear and I got careless."

Bruce smiled, cupping her face in his hands.
"Don't be sorry," he said. "There was nothing you really could have done. I should have known better."

Mica felt something stirring within her. Her feelings opened with a rush as she dropped the barrier holding them. Her heart swelled as she felt the love within her washing over her being. Her eyes lit with the feel of it as she sat up to face him. Her hand reached out to softly stroke his cheek. “It’s over now. What is done is done.”
She stood and moved closer to Caleb. Softly she kissed his forehead. “I am glad you are alright. I was worried about you.” Without warning she slugged him in the shoulder as she watched the look on his face. “That is for worrying me! Don’t you ever block our bond again! I couldn’t feel you or hear you within my mind and it drove me crazy with fear.” Her gaze softened as she pulled him into her embrace. “I don’t know what I’d do without you…you big oaf.”
She moved back to stand near Bruce. “Bruce, I would like to formally introduce you to Caleb, my big brother. Caleb this is Bruce, the Hunter, my lo….” She caught herself, cutting off the words. The feeling was strong within her.

Bruce smiled at Mica as she cut off the word he was saying within himself. He reached out a hand to Caleb to shake his in greeting.
"Nice to meet you," he said, putting an arm around Mica's shoulders and holding her tight to him. "I'm Bruce, her uh...well, let's just leave it at her special interest." He smiled, winking at Mica. "It's late, we should all get back to bed. I call couch!" Bruce smiled at Mica, kissed her cheek softly and ran to lay on the couch. "You two are no fun! Oh well, I still get the couch."

"OUCH!" Caleb said when Mica hit him. "I'm sorry, but I felt that it was necessary. I didn't want you running after me into a ambush." he said. He reached his hand out to Bruce when he was introduced. "Your Love? Right Mica?" he asked. Tzuna had told him of the bond the Hunter and Huntress would share, and Caleb had long suspected Mica to be the Huntress.

Bruce sat up, leaning over the side of the couch. He smiled at Mica, love in his eyes as he stared into hers.
"You know, Caleb," he said. "I think you're right."
