Jacks P.O.V.
I stood up. My gloves drenched in the blood my fallen comrades around me. Lena, disappeared into the time stream. Angela, lifeless. Ana, lifeless; Gerad killed days before. I was shaking. Fear. All my friends dead, killed by him. But, he couldn't kill me, talon couldn't get that far into him, yet. I knocked him out because he wouldn't kill me, the one he loved. I wanted to shoot him but...
"Jack!" a strange voice said. It was almost like Angela and Reyes' voices combined.
"Jack!" someone else. I think Simon. Maybe? Now I heard crying; felt tears. I was crying? But how, I never cry? It was black.
"Jack!" someone screamed. I broke out of it. I lay drenched in tears and sweat, him and Angela over me. He was the one who was crying!? The unbroken soldier broken.
After awakening after surgery, Angela kept a close eye on me, making sure I was still ok. Gabe sat next to me. Every time I saw him I looked away. I knew it was a dream but I can't think of him the same. I hear Gabe and Angela talking about what they could do to help me.
"It's like he has changed." Gabe muttered "He is not the man I fell in love with..."
Angela replied in a sorrowful tone "I'm doing everything i can. He may stay like this for months, years, it really depends" My heart monitor started to beep. I blacked out.
I awoke to Gabe's snores next to me. Angela was happily tapping away. when she turned over to me and said
"He gave a lot of blood. The surgery had more impact than i thought it would."
"Gabe..."
"What happened Jack, in the dream i mean?" She queried in a motherly tone.
"He killed all of you even Lena, but me, I-I" I burst out into tears, face buried in my hands. Angela pried my hands from my face. She grabbed a tissue and dried my eyes. She pulled me into a motherly hug. My sobs quieted down. I manged to say in between sobs
"Thanks Doc."
"Don't call me that!" Angela shouted. I laughed and smiled a real smile. Before i knew it i was fast asleep again.
