Jordan was pacing the room, on the brink of freaking out. He had sorted his memories during the wait, and was now seriously worried.
He didn't even know if Sonja and Tucker were alive. None of the gods were answering. The world was overrun with zombies. Spirit Dianite was Ianite-probably-doesn't-even-know-where, Tom was a tough motherfucker, but assuming the others had lost their memories too, Jordan doubted he would have lasted long. It was a miracle in itself that Je and Wag had managed to so far.
The thing that worried him most was Wag laying half dead just in the other room.
It wasn't just that he almost died, it was- oh who was he kidding Wag almost died. Wag had been fighting for his life and losing while Jordan was talking with the doctor in the lounge. He should have been with Wag, they shouldn't have separated, he had known it was a bad idea.
And now Wag was half dead and being cared for by a man he had known for six hours at most. Even though Jordan trusted Hazelnutt, he hadn't known the guy very well at all before jumping into the portal and losing his memories.
This was all a mess.
Wag could probably regain his memories just by hearing the name Waglington, although Jordan hoped it wasn't as painful as his... Reawakening.
Wait, had Wag heard Jordan call for him?! If that was the case, was Wag unconscious because he was regaining his memories? But Jordan hadn't fallen unconscious, had he? Then again, Wag had needed him, and Jordan would never let him down. Maybe Jordan would have fallen unconscious if not for that.
Shit. Double shit.
Was Wag going through pain right now? Can you even feel pain while unconscious? Nevermind that, even if it was impossible Wag would find a way to do it because of course he would.
Jordan sighed, and stopped his pacing as he forced himself to calm down. Panicking wouldn't help Wag and it certainly wasn't helping him.
That was the moment Hazelnutt entered the room again. Jordan's head snapped to him and he opened his mouth to ask the obvious question.
"He's fine." Hazelnutt interjected. "Took quite a beating, but there were no bite marks and he has only minor injuries."
Jordan sighed in relief. He hadn't known if the monster was infected like the zombies, and had asked the doctor to check if Wag was bitten, just in case.
"It was good you got to him when you did though, because either could have been a lot worse."
Jordan nodded and thanked the man for his help. He collapsed on the nearby couch, stress from the last few hours draining out of him.
His thoughts turned to Wag again. Jordan had known that Waglington wasn't his real name, just like Captain Sparklez wasn't his, but he'd never really given thought to Wag's birth name. It was weird to, on one hand, already know his companion was named James, and on the other hand finding out Wag was called James by connecting the two.
Now that the immediate danger was over, it was time to start thinking about the others again. Jordan had heard nothing from his friends, no mention of any of them, except for the single 'riptucker' password.
Either the password was an inside joke, or it was a memorial to a dead Tucker.
(although Jordan couldn't even imagine him dead. He'd always been so full of life, passionate, caring and protective about his friends like no one else.)
Jordan wasn't even sure it was the same Tucker as he knew, but it wasn't exactly a common name, so he'd be treating it as a clue.
Well, whether it was a memorial or an unfortunately timed joke, Jordan was pretty sure this indicated Tucker had found a friend in this world, which he was glad for.
Note: I wrote this before watching D. Gray man. The 're-awakening' this is if no reference to the Noah. So no, it pains me to say it, but sadly Jordan isn't a Noah. That would be amazing though.
Second note: Holy shit I watched D. Gray man months ago, have I not updated this story since then? What am I doing? Well certainly not writing this fic like I'm supposed to..
