Sir Justin's Hospital Hang-up
BEEP………BEEP………BEEP……….
That was the first sound that Sir Justin heard as he woke up in an unfamiliar room.
"Where am I?" he thought glancing around the room. "Ah now I remember, what was it Vigilante called it? The hospital, wasn't it?" he thought, recalling the battle in downtown Metropolis that he and some of the other Leaguers had been involved in, resulting in his current situation. His eyes idly ran over the room as the thoughts ran through his mind, before glancing down at his own body to check what those '21st century docs" had done to him.
Mary Wilkins, the head nurse of the fifth floor of Metropolis General Hospital, ran into one of the rooms that had been set aside for the Leaguers injured in yesterday's battle. The battle was nothing new considering who was the city's resident hero. However, by the same token, looking after wounded superheroes was new, hence, her looking after these patients personally.
Now looking at the young man whose yell had brought her there, she found herself wondering what could have upset one of these heroes so much.
The blonde-haired young man looked at her with a face on which confusion and shock were both equally present.
"Fair maiden," he said, indicating the hospital gown he was wearing, "what manner of attire is this?"
4 hours later……
After Sir Justin had calmed down enough to hear the nurse's explanation of why he had to wear such queer attire (he still thought it was better suited for women), he had had a string of visitors, first it was the nice, elderly woman had refused his thanks and urged him to recover( her name it turned out was Mrs. Jones.), then the group of young boys who had helped control the crowd had dropped by ( they were fascinated by his tales of daily life in King Arthur's time, having only read books about the supposedly mythical king and his knights).
Now Sir Justin was pondering the plate of 'food' that the nurse had placed in front of him, judging whether or not if it was safe for human consumption. This was when Vigilante walked in with two Big Macs and a stack of DVDs.
"Howdy Sir Justin." he drawled. "I reckoned you'd need a bit of real food. Besides you must be bored sick here. Ain't even any pretty nurses around far as I can see."
"I thank you my friend, I am indeed in need of proper sustenance. As for the nurses I find them remarkably good at their job."
"I brought you a couple of DVDs." said Vigilante brushing aside the knight's thanks and his comment about the nurses. "Green Arrow lent me his portable DVD player. He sends his regards by the way. He'll drop by later this week he's pretty busy right now filling in all those reports up on the Watchtower, what with him being mission leader and all."
"I understand, convey my thanks to him when you can."
"Will do, amigo. So what do you wanna see The Good, The Bad and The Ugly orBullit?"
Later that day……
Vigilante had left after the movie promising to come again tomorrow. Sir Justin had spent the rest of the day immersed in books which purported to tell the real stories of King Arthur and his Knights (they did not). As he settled down for the night, Sir Justin found himself thinking that if the rest of his hospital stay was like this, then it wouldn't be all that bad after all.
