Gerard awoke with a jolt. His heart pounded a mile a minute. When he finally caught his breath, he rubbed his eyes open as he tried to adjust his vision to the bright light. He then saw that he was in a white room. He noticed that he was connected to an IV and an EKG that was currently measuring his heart rate. He was in the hospital.

Gerard saw a red button on the wall with the word Nurse in black letters underneath it. He pressed it and waited for about a minute or two. The impatient Gerard pushed the button once again and then a third time. Minutes went by and still no one came.

Thinking there was nothing else to do, Gerard disconnected himself from the IV and EKG and left his room. The hospital looked completely deserted as Gerard walked through it. No one walked by him nor did he hear any voices.

"Hello?" he called out.

All he received back was silence.

Gerard went downstairs and saw that it was in the same state as upstairs.

"Hello?" he cried out again.

Still there was nothing.

Gerard looked around and that was when he noticed the horrid sight around him. Blood was splattered all over the walls, many discarded item were on the floor, and worst of all, numerous bloody corpses were all around the place. Gerard placed his hand over his mouth in order to keep himself from screaming or from being sick.

He ran out of the hospital and into the streets where it looked deserted and torn apart as well except for a figure that seemed to be running towards Gerard.

"Hello?" he called out to the figure. "Can you help me?"

"Look out!" a voice behind Gerard exclaimed suddenly.

Before he could turn around, he was pushed to the ground and then heard a couple of gunshots seconds later. Gerard looked up to the weight that was keeping him down and met a pair of hazel eyes. The person on top of him got up and offered a hand to Gerard who took it. When he got up, Gerard saw that the person was a young man shorter than him who looked about in his early twenties and with long dark brown hair that was only a few inches above his shoulders. He greeted Gerard with a big smile.

"Hi." He said in a high pitched voice.

This friendliness made Gerard upset.

"Hi? I wake up from a coma, witness a blood fest, then get attacked by a dwarf and all you can tell me is a cute little hi?"

"Hey this dwarf and his friend just happened to have saved your life pal." The short man replied.

"What friend? All I see is you."

The short guy pointed behind Gerard to a well-built guy with pink lips and insanely curly brown hair. He was holding a gun while examining what looked like a dead body on the ground.

"Who's that?" Gerard asked.

"That is Ray Toro," short guy answered. "He's the one who shot the zombie that was coming after you while I pushed you to the ground to cover you. I'm Frank by the way. Frank Iero."

"Gerard Way," Gerard introduced himself. "Wait, what do you mean 'zombie'?"

"We'll explain it all when we get to the hideout. It's starting to get dark so there will be more of them soon."

Frank called ray over and the three started on their way.

"Oh by the way Gerard," Frank said while smirking. "Nice Batman boxers."

Gerard blushed when he realized that he was still wearing his hospital gown which revealed his backside.
