Chapter 28: The End
"Un…" Amy woke up to find that the room was blurry, and she could only see off-white above her. Not this again…
"Here are your glasses." Amy reached up with one hand, but pain shot up her shoulder. "Easy, Amy." She took them with the other hand, and Reuben and Sparky came into view as she put them on. "You've been asleep for a few hours." Reuben smiled at her as Sparky sat on his holder, happily chewing on a particularly large battery.
"Venom…"
"Is being held in a cell right now. You blacked out shortly after I got you to the medic, and she removed the bullet from your shoulder. You can't leave the infirmary for a few weeks so your arm can recover, but she says you'll be fine." He held up his own bandaged arm, and gestured to a few more bandages on his torso. "I'm being treated for electrocution burns, so we're both stuck." Amy smiled.
"So… we won?"
"We won. And a good thing too, otherwise who knows how much information could've gotten out. But," he glanced at Sparky, "I guess we really should thank Sparky for that, huh?" Sparky smiled, looking happier than a kid in a candy store.
"Thanks, Sparky, for saving us back there," Amy said quietly. "And thank you, Reuben, for stopping the virus."
"We stopped the virus, together. I can't take all the credit."
"I guess so." Amy yawned. "Where's Sonja?"
"We haven't told anyone yet – they're still calming down from the blackout, and I don't know how much more this ship can take." He smiled. "Besides, I think you're gonna need some rest before you can handle Sonja's energy levels." Amy nodded.
"Yeah… I guess." Sparky suddenly elbowed Reuben in the head.
"Cousin! Boojiboo!"
"Alright, alright, I'm getting to it!" Reuben glared at Sparky before turning to Amy, who raised an eyebrow. "So, after we're out of the hospital…"
"Yes?"
"D'you think we could… I don't know… have lunch at the rec room some time?" Sparky slapped his forehead at the casualty of it all, but Amy smiled.
"I'd like that."
"Cool." There was a pause as Reuben felt his face heat up.
"On one condition."
"What?" Reuben lowered an eyebrow, frowning slightly.
"Will you play your saxophone for me sometime?" Reuben smiled.
"Yeah, I can do that." Amy smiled.
"Cool."
