Robert woke up with a jolt. At first he thought it was a dream. That was, until he saw the bloody bandages wrapped around that torso, the iv stand that was attached to his arm, heard a heart monitor, and saw that he was in a room he had never seen before. He also noted that he had an oxygen mask over his nose and mouth.
Robert looked over at Rodger. He snapped his fingers. It was weak and quiet, but it still got his friend's attention. Rodger jumped up and wanted to hug him. But Charlie, who was also in the room, grabbed hom by the shirt and yanked him. The princess of Hell looked relieved, but was looking very pissed.
"What the fuck?! Why would you do that?! Even though you knew that you were our only hole!!" She shouted to the Scottish teenager. Robert let out a very weak chuckle before weakly saying "Lassie. Ah ken a'm th' multiverse hero. Yi''ll need tae ken that a multiverse hero puts ithers beside themselves. Meaning if a nuke goess aff, th' hero wull risk thair bides tae save as mony fowk as thay kin. (Girl. I know I am the Multiverse Hero. You need to understand that a Multiverse Hero puts others beside themselves. Meaning if a nuke goess off, the hero will risk their lives to save as many people as they can.)" The explanation threw off Charlie. She was stunned by how adult that sounded, and how right he was. She was going to ask hiw he knew that, but Aquaman walked through the door. He saw that he was awake and smiled.
"Oh. You are awake. I know what you are going to ask. You have been in a coma for two days." He said. Robert was shocked. Yes he did save two lives, but he went into a coma because of his good deed. But Aquaman gave a reassuring grin. "You are the talk of the base. Showing true heroism like your father. He would always throw himself into life threatening situations. Said he wanted to test his strength and that it was more of a priority." The king of the ocean explained.
Robert wanted to sit up, but he was basically locked down in the bed due to the pain in his back and the IC needle in his arm, making it unable for him to bend his elbow. He had no choice but to look around. Then someone walked in. She was a blonde, skinny woman. She had a halo over her head, a white outfut with a gold colored toonik bottoms, and mechanical wings. She looked like an angel.
"Good morning Robert Alex Splicer. My name is Dr. Angela Ziegler. But you can call me Mercy." She said. She walked over and took out the iv and took the mask off him. She then helped him sit up, giving hihim a better view of the room. "Whaur am ah? (Where am I?)" He asked the angel. "You are in a room of the medical bay. Oh. You rememded me. Welcome to the base. When you feel better, me or Aquaman will show you around." She said before leaving.
Robert kept looking around, but nodded at what she said. He looked at everyone in the room, still bound to the bed by his backpains. The multiverse hero to be let out a sigh and looked at Charlie. "Howfur lang did she say it wull tak' fur mah back tae heal? (How long did she say it will twke for my back to heal?)" He asked. Charlie let out a grunt and saymid "About a week. But she also said that you can walk a few hours from now." She then looked at the others. "Well. We should let you get some rest. See you tomorrow." With that, Charlie and Aquaman left the room. Rodger stayed to fistbump his best friend before leaving as well. That is when Robert closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The time was unkniwn, but it seemed to be very late at night when Robert woke up. He felt his pain was gone so he went and got up. He noticed that the needle was back in his arm and sighed. Mercy had put it in as a precaution. He noticed that there was now also an IV bag attatched. So he grabbed the IV stand and left the room. So with everyone presumable asleep, Robert wandered the halls on the base, confused on where to go. It was by luck that the seventh room he entered was the mmess hall. He looked around and saw someone making some food, unaware of his presence. It was a boy, probably thirteen. He wore a hat that had a pine tree on it, a blue vest with a red shirt under it, and medium length brown hair. Robert whistled to the boy, which made him jump and spin around. The boy had a surprised face on, but then want into a shocked mode. He ran to the multiverse hero to be and got in his personal space.
"Oh my gosh! You're him! You are the son of the multiverse hero! Oh, uh, sorry. Let me introduce myself. My name is Dipper Pines, from the Gravity Falls universe." The boy said and sruck his hand out. Robert then shook it with his good hand. Dipper then ran back to the microwave and took out a plate that had a few slices of pizza. "I was going to have these, but, maybe we can share them? You have done nothing but sleep the entire few days." Dipper said. Robert shrugged and sat down next to him. "Awright Dipper? whaur is a' body? ah hae nae seen a'body bit Charlie, mah best mukker, Aquaman, 'n' Mercy sin ah woken up in that kip. (Hey Dipper? Where is everybody? I have not seen anyone but Charlie, my best friend, Aquaman, and Mercy since I woken up in that bed.)" Dipper just shrugged. "It is midnight, so I would guess they are sleeping. Like how I am guessing you just woke up." This made Robert chuckked as he ate the pizza. The two then spent the rest of the night talking in the mess hall.
