"Aaron...Aaron?"

Aaron awakens with a scream, sweat dripping off of him. He looks up, terrified at the nurse standing before him. "It's okay, it's okay, it was just a bad dream," she says smiling down at him. He looks around. The doctor is speaking with the other nurse as the orderly leaves the room. Jaya and Kiro still lie unconscious on thier beds.

Jersey Devil looks over to the boy. "You okay, kid?"

What the...??!! Evolution attacking! Where did everyone go???

A bewildered look is splayed across his face.

OOC: That was so mean.....

A bewildered look is splayed across his face.

"It's okay, you were just dreaming, everything is okay," the nurse once again reassures Aaron.

"Poor kid," Jersey Devil says, "that fight really got to him." He turns back to Neutron. "Hey, me and the walking wounded are going for a bite. We'll be back right away, but make sure these guys stay put in the meantime, alright?"

"You're kidding, right?" Neutron replies, sounding tired.

"Man, you'd think you'd never been gored before." Devil replies with a grin. "Okay, listen up people," he says to the others, "no one sets foot outside this room until you hear otherwise from a member of AF. Otherwise, y'all will be going directly to jail, no passing Go, no collecting $200, got it?" He yawns as he leaves the room, standing next to Max, who's standing silently in the hallway, he calls over to Miguel and Tyrone. "Alright, now let's go find something dark, wet and caffinated."

"And exactly where would you be going?" A voice says from down the hallway moments before Screaming Eagle walks up to them.

"Oh, hey Eagle," Devil says with a look like he just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"Hey, hey! The gang's all here!" says Tyrone cheerfully as he walks towards Max, Devil and Eagle. "Comin' for breakfast, Angel? You look like you could use some coffee too. Not nearly as bad as the furball here. Dude was eyein' us up, tryin' to figure which of us had the better bed. Self preservation had me wantin' some coffee, breakfast and less furry company, go figure," he says, grinning at JD and looking back at the nursing station.

"An' if you gots bad news, can you please, please, please, save it 'till after my date? Three months with no play; last thing I wanna hear is my next date's gonna be with Ben Dover," he says with a slight shiver.

"So Dani, what time is your coffee break?" Miguel asks the nurse sittting in front of the computer terminal, pouring on the charm or at least attempting to

"And exactly where would you be going?" A voice says from down the hallway moments before Screaming Eagle walks up to them.

"Oh, hey Eagle," Devil says with a look like he just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Upon hearing Screaming Eagle Miguel's shoulders slump a little and he lets out a small sigh and looks up towards the roof. "Damnit, you have the worst timing ever Eagle" Miguel mutters quitely to himself, before looking back to the nurse and giving her a smile. "Sorry senorita, work before pleasure. I hope you will take a rain check on that coffee."

Flames... All consuming and all encompassing. A light wind blows over them, causing a few flickers amongst the sea of flame. "Infinite potential..." It whispers in an almost feminine voice as it passes, sending shivers of joy down his psyche. Kiro can't breath, can't see, can feel nothing but searing pain and yet he feels calm, sudden understanding brought to him by the mixture of stimulation and utter lack of definition, he's about to reach for it, something inside himself, deep down. Only visible now that all interference is wiped out in the white noise of the flames. A trickle of holiness, something utterly inhuman and unfathomable, leaking from some spring in his soul. He reaches for it, desperately grasping for it as if it is the only hope he has ever known. The fingers of his conciousness graze the thought, the feeling and he his stunned by the waves of emotion running through him. Not happiness or fear, no pain or pleasure. Just pure contentment. A sudden wind picks up and his concentration is broken, he scans the flames, searching for any visual reference to the source. It grows stronger, tearing at his metaphysical form, a thundering roar grows in the distance, such a mighty sound after such silence is deafening. The wind suddenly takes on a voice, deep and malignant, "Infinite weakness!!!" it booms, sending Kiro hurtling out of the flames into darkness, too swiftly to cry out his lament. The darkness is impure, hazed with pink.

Kiro's eyes open slowly, he hears the unmistakable beeping of a heart moniter, "How long have I been out...?" he mutters to noone in particular swinging his feet out over the side of the bed he was in. "I was dreaming I think... something about flames... a great blackness and a purer light... Yin and Yang perhaps..." he thinks to himself with a chuckle.

Sarah sighs and adjusts the bed so she's sitting more comfortably and once again looks around the room. A TV hangs in the corner, but not seeing a remote near by she momentarily concentrates on the On/Off switch and flicks it on. She flips through the channels, changing them telekinetically, until she finds a news station. Having spent months isolated from the world she felt she needed to know what was going on.

OOC: I'm assuming an inanimate object wouldn't be too difficult for her to manipulate. BTW, how long had they been with Biogen?.

 

[Agamon]

OOC: I'm thinking Intensive Care doesn't have a tv, but no problem. I could be wrong, never been in there myself. And you've been 'gone' about 2 months.

"Well, I have news," Screaming Eagle says, "but all things considered, it isn't really bad. You're not quite off the hook yet, though. It seems we were only to detain you for questioning. No charges have yet been laid. I guess what was first called a 'confrontation bewteen eiltes and military personell' got skewed by the media into 'terrorist attack on government base'." She turns to Jersey Devil. "How are the others?"

"They're fine, if a little freaked," Devil says, adding, "I was going to take these guys for breakfast, I didn't realize the others were conscious yet."

"Go ahead, I'll stay here with the others," she replies.

Dani smiles at Miguel's offer, "Sorry, I just got here," she says, adding with a whisper, "If I leave now, I don't think I'd want to come back..."

Sarah turns on the monitor. Good Morning America is on and the current guest is pop star Sakura Red, talking about her new release and the launch of her tour, which will be coming to the States in about a month. Flipping channels, she finds coverage of the fight they had just partaken in. What little footage Steven had on his camcorder is shown. None of the baseline civilians were hurt and the reporter has reason to believe that American Freedom got what they came for and have taken their captives to a nearby hospital.

"Sweetheart, you made my day," Tyrone says with a grin, already heading back to the nursing station.

"Would you look at that," Tyrone says as he walks up to the station. "The clock says it's time for a coffee. Wanna guide us to the cafe, Jessica?" Tyrone adds cheerfully.

ooc: Yes, ICU does have TVs, at least they do here in Canada. Not sure about the states.

Aaron smiles weakly up at Screaming Eagle, "I knew you guys would figure it out. Can someone please contact my parents in Vancouver? I am sure they have been scared to death since I got kidnapped. At least let them know I am alive.....even if just barely.

Oh! Tyroc can you please bring me something back from the Cafeteria? I am starving.

Sarah please change the channel, arent there some cartoons or something on?"
