"Let me out"
I'd been locked in this locker for hours. I'd screamed myself hoarse. My throat burned so bad that breathing was beginning to hurt. I was shoved in my locker in front of at least a dozen people. Shoved in a metal coffin that was filled with used tampons, bugs, used needles, and more.
The bugs were biting me. Crawling up my body and clawing at what they could. The holes where the needles pierced and scratched my skin began to itch and burn. The edges of my vision began to darken. I was gonna pass out, I could feel it. Only problem is if I pass out I'll probably die. I need to get out. But this locker is to sturdy for me to break. I tried screaming again but only a muffled sob escaped.
When had I started crying? How long had I been in here? Was I gonna die? Would it really matter? Who would miss me? I lost my only friend, and moms been dead for almost two years. Dad would probably miss me but I couldnt think of anyone else.
'No'
Dad's enough. I can't leave him alone. He'll break more. I refuse to allow it. I banged against the locker door trying to break jt open. I hit it until my hands bled and my fists bruised. I punched the door even then. I screamed for help even louder than before until I started coughing up specks of blood. Yet even though I tried my hardest I failed.
It was all for nothing. All of my screams, the pounding against the walls it was all for nothing. If only I could break the lock. If only I was a cape. This wouldn't be happening anymore. I wouldn't feel like dying and dad wouldnt be alone. Muffled sobs escaped once more. I was going to die. All because I couldn't break a small metal lock. My eyes closed and I saw stars.

I awoke once more to a constant beeping. Along with a tingling sensation in my head and the sight of glittering lights. In the back of my mind I felt a feeling that I instictively pulled on. Apparently it did nothing but give me migrains and bloody noses. Its been like this for days. I wake up, a nurse checks on me, dad visits, I get fed, and then I fall asleep. Same routine everyday for two weeks. Get my check up, dad visits, eat, sleep thats all.
Hearing the door open I look to the left expecting the nurse. Instead i got panacea. Currently THE best healing cape in the world.
Holy shit.
"Do I have your permission to heal you?" She asked in a quiet and seemingly tired voice. Why was she tired it was early in the day? Did she not get enough sleep? She held out her hand expectingly. For what? She repeated herself.
Mutely I nodded and she grasped my hand, shivering at the touch. Looking around nothing seemed to change and then the world shifted. The world was much more clear, colors more vibrant, the tiny aches and pains were gone almost as if god gave me a massage and released them. My breathing became easier, and my chest uncoiled from a knot I hadn't even known was there. My paunche stomach shrinked a little as the biomass was used to heal me. Suddenly my hearing became better. I heard the trees shuffling outside the hospital window. The patients walking and talking outside my door. My mind cleared up a little. Senses raised to their maximum potential. My legs weakened from unuse filled out a little alongside my arms. Suddenly the euphoric feeling stopped and she stepped away.
Her Healing me was the most amazing feeling I've ever had. Its was beautiful, and such a great power. I wish I was a cape. I was so lost in my thoughts that I nearly missed her words before she left.
"You're cleared to leave. I removed the AIDS, HIV, both minor and major infections, and healed the cuts so you wouldnt scar. I also repaired your senses. your not listening are you."
Before I could correct that assumption she walked out at a brisk pace. With a sigh I decided to Lie down and think. The glittering lights were still there but now it was clear where they were coming from. Electronics and metals. My I.V. Drip wasn't glittering like the other things, it was glowing.
While Reaching out to grab it I saw the glow pulse. My heart was beating in my chest like a cherokee drum. Closer my hand reached and the light blinked faster. My vision seemed to darken showing only the I.V. Drip. Faster the light pulsed syncing with my heart beat. I began to hear a slight humming. Low at first but slowly getting louder and louder. The feeling that was once only in my mind became near physical. I was being pulled forward. Touching the Drip I felt the cool metal become warm. Then it became hot. My mind surged. Knowled of the metal became obvious. This was an alloy of iron and carbon containing less than 2% carbon and 1% manganese and small amounts of silicon, phosphorus, sulphur and oxygen. This was also known as steel. Before I could try to figure out what was happening. I sawa vast Desertone filled with sandstorms. Yet something else was there I could feel it. Slowly the sandstorms converged and within the eye of the storm a giant seemed to form. Finally I couldsee what was missing. I could make it ...no...him out. A large creature. One made of sand and covered in blue markings. A creature that howled with glee as he saw me. I froze terrified. Was this a demon, a bio-tinkers pet monster? Oh god was this an endbringer ? My heart rate picked up. Suddenly it's paw? shot out at me. Right before it could reach me I felt a hand on my shoulder shaking me lightly. I blinked and I was back in the hospital room. Dad was shaking me and the previously glittery lights had dimmed a bit.
