Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.

Marcelo Alencar da Silva had been in surgery for a few hours. He had been completely unaware of law enforcement locking down the city block his building was on. He had not been aware of much outside of trying to stay awake until some doctor like person told him it was okay to sleep.

The doctors had worked hard. As precisely as the sword had been impaled into their patient, they had to be just as precise to make sure he did not bleed out all over the operating table. Those doctors lived and worked in New York, home of the Avengers and Fantastic Four. Yet, they were never quite prepared for people stabbed with swords.

Even with a very close call, the Brazilian patient was rolled out to recovery. As the nurses and doctors monitored him, the surgeon went out to explain to his fiancee how things went. When the medical personnel were sure he was stable enough, he was sent to his own private room and allowed to have visitors.

When the news got to Helena about Marcelo, she knew she had to do something. Though she suspected his... fiancee might be around in the hospital room. Rather than deal with the interloping woman, the Brazilian supermodel sent the best get well flower arrangement with Marcelo's favorite colors she could find.

The handwritten note said:
Tchelo,
Please get well soon. The world needs more men like you in it.

Though Helena wasn't aware of it, she would have been pleased the billboard facing his room in the hospital was a men's shirt ad with her wearing little more than one of the advertised button up shirts.
