Don't own any of the characters, blah, blah...
Back at the Sanctuary, Magnus was sitting on an exam table as the Big Guy carefully stitched up the minor lacerations on her back. She could feel the bruises begin to form across her shoulders from where she landed.
The blonde girl she had saved was still unconscious in the observation lab where she was hooked up to an IV and an oxygen tank to assist her breathing. Her vital signs were strong and there was 100% chance of recovery which required a little time. Even knowing this information however, Magnus couldn't help but dread the next few hours. What if she didn't wake up? What something went horrible wrong?
Something else, however, was plaguing Magnus' thoughts. She had no way of knowing whether or not the girl would recognize her or even realize who she was. She didn't even know how she had ended up at the orphanage in the first place. What was troubling her the most was how this was possible. Who had miraculously revived her daughter? Was it a trick? But she pushed these thoughts from her mind unwilling to face what could be a horrible truth.
Her manservant begin replacing the tools on the table, signaling that he was done. Gingerly Magnus pulled her shirt over her back and carefully hopped off the table. She walked from the room and entered quietly into the observation lab where Henry sat in the corner keeping watch over the patient. "How is she?" Magnus whispered as she approached the girl gingerly taking hold of the small hand.
"Vitals are stable, no change in condition though, she should wake up any hour now." Henry stated in short medical terms. He left the room, leaving Magnus alone with what he hoped was her daughter.
Magnus no longer fought back the tears that had been threatening to fall for hours. She sat in the stool next to her bed and clung to the child's hand. "Ashley, I've missed you, I've missed you so much," she whispered realizing that the unconscious girl couldn't hear her. "You were my life, you still are, I think about you everyday and how I never told you how much I truly love you, god please wake up," She kissed the small hand and rubbed it comfortingly. Magnus succumbed to the fatigue from the fire and rested her head on the bed, closing her eyes, she kept hold of the girl's hand as she fell into a deep sleep.
Ah whats going to happen when she wakes up? Why will she wake up? I guess we'll see... (evil grin)
