Rick hands shook with excitement as he set the scalpel down upon the tray. He grabbed the limp, pale hand upon the table within his gloved ones and planted a gentle kiss upon it.
"It's been two years since I've heard your voice...felt you warmth."
gently placing the hand down Rick walked over towards the activation switch. Pulling on his goggles he thrummed the lever with his fingers taking in a big gulp of air Before finally flipping the switch. Green sparks electrified the air around his lab before finally it enveloped the sheet covered body. The lights broke flicking small yellow sparks towards Rick who shielded his face from the shards of glass that rained down with them. Rick reached for the off switch as the green glow turned to blue. When he flipped the lever down the room enveloped into darkness as if nothing strange had occurred. The silence however was short lived as the backup lighting slowly kicked in. The crunch of broken glass underneath heavy feet followed suit as Rick made it over towards the table. Quickly brushing the glass off of the sheet Rick drew it back exposing the naked body. Slipping his gloves off, he placed two fingers against the corps neck feeling for a pulse. Not feeling even the faintest sign of life Ricks stomach dropped.
"No!" Rick cried out putting his fist together to beat furiously upon the corps chest. Then as fast as it started he stopped watching as fingers upon the body's hand twitch in response to the brutal beating. With sloppy hands Rick reached to test for a pulse again.
Softly but surely a low vibration was pulsing through the corps. Rick's eyes prickled with unshed tears. Hoisting the upper part of the body into a tight embrace, Rick finally let go of the breath he was holding
"welcome back Morty."
