Lirin: Random Monday posting cause I can. Plus I'm seeking to distract myself from something else not as fun. As per usual I do not own Beyblade or series characters. There's no profit from doing this. Thanks Ariao for the very entertaining reviews. I can always count on them for a good laugh :) One last thing. KISA BACK!

Chapter 34: Awake

The first thing I felt in so long was water slowly draining around me. Though my mind was still clouded and I didn't realize what was going on around me I knew it was something.

As the water got lower my body began to fall until it collided with something smooth, at least I'm assuming it was smooth, and I slipped down that so I lay in a crumpled heap on the ground.

The thing I slid down disappeared from around me and I think I felt a cool breeze, my mind still isn't processing anything like it should be.

Somewhere around me I heard very muffled voices. I couldn't tell the gender of them or exactly how may there were, but there were voices.

Slowly my mind was coming too and getting better at processing things.

One of them got closer to me. I could tell because it was louder and slightly clearer then the others. Following that I was lifted up by that person before getting placed on a flat surface on my side. Why did they place me on my side?

I felt them take something off from around my head. They weren't gentle about it either. It snagged in my hair and they just pulled that.

Oh wait pain... I can feel pain!

Ugh not a thing to be happy about. I could feel it now. A burning pain scorching my back. This must be the reason why I was laid on my side.

I wanted to wake up and ask what was wrong, why my back hurt so badly. But I couldn't. The pain was intensifying the longer I was out of that water.

The consciousness I had begun to acquire began to slip. I was getting pulled back into the darkness...

XxXxXx

Light and warmth were what I felt the second time I came out of the darkness. I could no longer feel the burning pain in my back and I was extremely thankful for that.

I was still laying on my side, but this time I was stretched out on something soft.

I tried to open my eyes, but the smallest amount of light that hit them had me hissing and I squeezed them tightly again.

"Have you woken up?"

The voice was male but I didn't know who it belong to.

"..."

"Ah no voice," the male responded. "Well I'll turn the light down so you can open you're eyes. Then we can figure out a way for you to communicate until you're voice works again."

I hope I nodded my head to the idea. This guys seemed nice and I wanted him to know I accepted his idea. I just don't know if it worked since moving anything at the moment seems really hard right now. How long have I been out?

Either way I felt the light on my face decreasing and ever so slowly I tried to open my eyes again. This time I was not greeted with harsh light.

"So you are with us again," the guy smiled down at me. "I'd ask you a bunch of questions but that would be pointless if you cant speak right now."

I would have laughed at the comment. He really was nice but I didn't know who he was. Going by the white coat he was one of the doctors or scientists here.

"So you can't talk and I'm guessing that moving isn't too easy for you. So what can we do so you can communicate with us?"

The guy circled the bed as he thought, but I could only see him when he returned to the right side. He went back and forth about three times before he stopped in front of me and raised his finger.

"Okay I know I said that moving isn't easy, but I noticed you moved your head a bit, so how about I ask some yes and no questions and you can shake or nod your head. Sound fair?"

Slowly I nod my head.

"Great." He was really excited about it. "So...uh...gosh this is hard to come up with yes or no questions." He went silent as he pondered what or how to ask something.

During that time I tried to studied his features. It was a little hard in the dim lighting. I could tell he had some scruff. That was obvious when he turned his head to the side. His hair was on the frizzy side, but that might be do to the humidity in the room. And that was about all I could tell. Oh and he had a very nice sounding voice. It wasn't gruff or harsh like any of the other adults in this place.

"Oh okay, do you feel any pain right now?"

After a moment I shook my head no. There was a little discomfort but not full blown pain.

"Great, the morphine is working."

Ah morphine. I should have realized that sooner. I really like morphine.

"Are you dizzy at all?"

Once more I shake my head.

"I bet you're confused though."

Slowly I nod.

"Well that's no surprise. Boris had you stuck in that tube for months now."

Immediately my eyes grew wide. Months? Had I really been out for that long? No wonder I was stiff and had no voice. I hadn't been able to do anything in so long.

"..." I wanted to ask why but I couldn't pull the word out of me.

The guy looked down sadly at me. He must have known what I want. "It was for a test he's doing. He wants to give the kids attributes of their bit beasts. It took a while, but you have a set of really lovely white wings now. And giving some time you'll be able to fly with them."

The first sound I remember making now is a sniffle as tears well up in my eyes. How could Boris do this to me? He has officially made me a freak.

"Oh hey don't get all upset about it. They're really pretty and you look amazing with them. I can't wait to see you reaching for the sky with them. The sun sparkling off them. That's going to be a sight to behold."

That's easy for him to say. These things aren't attached to him. Even so that did make me feel a bit better. If I could fly I could break free from this place and never have to deal with Mona and Boris again.

But could I leave my friends behind. Personally I wouldn't mind leaving Ian behind. He annoys me enough as is. But the others I would have a hard time saying good bye too, especially Tom and Bryan.

"That's a girl." He pat my head. "Tears aren't a solution. Now what else to ask?"

I swallowed hard trying to wet my throat. Thinking about the boys had me wanting to ask about them. I needed to know how they were doing.

"B...ry...?"

"Bry?" he asked back. It was clear he was puzzled but I couldn't get any more out. It took him several long moments to think about it. No one outside the team knew we were actually dating, which in this hell pit was a very good thing. "Do you mean Bryan Kuznetsov?"

If I could have I would have eagerly nodded my head.

"You want to know how the team is doing?"

Again I nod. He's really cleaver to make that jump.

"Well..." That right there wasn't sounding good. He dragged it out. I knew something was wrong. Time to brace myself for the bad news. "From what I hear, Boris has Bryan and Tala in some sort of experiments, different from your's but still working on improving a blader's power. The other three, ah Spencer, Ian and Tom are all doing fine. Nothings going on with them, but Boris is probably waiting for results to show from these three."

I sighed out my partial relief. Most of the boys were safe. But what was Boris doing with Tala and Bryan. That was something I'd have to find out soon. I hope neither of them are getting hurt.

Aw this is going to be a long hospital stay without them visiting me.

At the time my mind was too focused and worried for Bryan and Tala to realize that the dude had mentioned Ian and Tom were on the team and there was no mention of Kai.

I had a lot to figure out. Not to mention I now had wings that I needed to learn how to use if I was ever going to soar high above in the sky to get out of here.

So much to do and as far as I knew I had plenty of time to do it in.

Oh how much I was soon going to learn that was wrong.

"Well kiddo, I think that's about enough for now. You've been though a lot wither you realize it or not. So rest up for now and I'll check on you later."

Again he pat my head and flashed a caring smile. He was really kind and caring two things that normally don't appear in this place often especially among the adults. Maybe during my time in the tube this place had changed some. But with Boris still running the show I highly doubt that.

Taking him up on his advice I got as comfortable as I could being barely able to move and tried to get a little more rest. This time it was willfully and not forced by pain.

Lirin: Kisa's free and what Boris has done is now explained. If anyone was liking the new doctor with her drop a review and say so. Or if you hate him and think his kindness is a sham you can also leave a review too. I wont bite heads for receiving them I promise :) I'm done asking now, thanks all for reading and see you next chapter. Bye.
