DNA Catastrophe 2: Too Far Gone to Heal

by LadyManticore101

Ever since she was cured from the DNA altering serum that was slowly destroying her own DNA, Alice hasn't been the same. She sits all alone in a room and just stares at a wall. How can anyone pull her out of her coma-like condition? Somethings just can't be fixed. T cause I'm paranoid. (Sequel to DNA Catastrophe)

Chapter 1: what goes on in broken minds

*a month after Alice was cured*

Alice stared at the wall, like she did everyday. But she didn't see the almost blindingly white wall, no she saw a field of grass. There were people there, laughing, playing, talking. They seemed familiar to her, yet she couldn't remember. Sometimes she tried to talk to the people. They either couldn't hear her, or were ignoring her. Sometimes she would try to touch one as they passed by her, but then they would vanish. She wished they would talk to her. She once got so angry that she tried to hit one of the people. She missed the person but hit something and it caused her to feel. It was not a pleasant feeling, what was it called again? Pain, hurt, yes that's what it was called. She didn't like that feeling, so she didn't try to hit the people again.

She didn't always see the field with the people, sometimes she wouldn't see anything. Everything around her would be black nothingness. She would feel pain during those moments, little pin pricks of pain along her arms. Sometimes she felt something touch her and it wouldn't hurt. It would usually be on her shoulder, or her knee, sometimes her hand or cheek. And she would hear voices, far away voices, slow and echoey.

"How is she?" Was something she normally heard, then something would gently touch her shoulder.

"Doing better, I think." Would often be followed by a pat on her knee.

"Get better soon, Alice." Was something she always heard everyday. Different voices would say that but one always drew her attention, the one that would say that while touching her cheek. This one was different, this voice brought something with it. Everyday this voice would say that and a warm feeling would envelop her, she could see vague colors but they would fade as quickly as they'd come. She wished it would stay longer. When it left though, she would see the green field again.

"How is she?" Spider-Man asked Iron Fist as he left Alice's room.

"The same as always, always staring at the wall." Iron Fist responded.

"It's been a month, when is she gonna snap out of it?" Nova asked.

"Sometimes people never get better." White Tiger growled, clenching her fists. Spidey knew what she was talking about but didn't elaborate for the others.

"Come on guys, this is Alice we're talking about. The girl that stood up to Doc Ock when he took her and those kids, the girl that totally humiliated Flash in gym and then turned around and helped the guy with his grades. She'll get better, just wait and see." Power Man declared, trying to convince himself as much as the others.

"You're right Luke. She'll recover." Spidey said optimistically.

"Yeah, sure she will." Iron Fist thought to himself, following behind the others as they headed off for a training session.
