I decided to try and continue this. I don't know how far I'll get, but we'll see.

Do try to enjoy!

Wake Up Call

"Still hasn't woken up?" a man asked his assistant. He was referring to the you man laying in the hospital bed.

"No Lloyd. Just like the last thousand times you've asked, he hasn't woken up" Cecile said.

"Just trying to keep things interesting" Lloyd said. "It's not everyday we get to care for coma patients. Especially ones as interesting as him."

"How many times do I have to tell you Lloyd? Try to be more respectful. This is a person, not a test subject" Cecile scolded him.

"Oh don't be like that. I know you are just as curious as me."

"Well, yes" Cecile meekly responded. "But I least I can remember that he's a human being. Not a guinea pig."

"Based on the readings we've gotten, that may not be for certain" Lloyd stated, looking at the screen monitoring the patients vitals.

"But there is one thing I want to know. What is he thinking about? What are coma dreams like?"

"Lloyd!"

"Just wondering."

8 Years Earlier

Lelouch ran to the Aries Villa as fast as he could. His bare feet were tired and steeped in gravel, but he needed to get back. He needed to know what happened.

He finally arrived. The gates were locked, and there were guards everywhere.

"Hey! Let me in!" he yelled.

One of the guards heard him turned to see him. "My Prince!" he exclaimed as he opened the gate. "Why are you out here?"

"I don't know. I was inside a few minutes ago. But that doesn't matter" Lelouch said. "What happened inside?"

The guards face became uneasy. "My Prince, perhaps it's best if you stay here. The situation is..."

Lelouch didn't let him finish. " I can't stay here! I order you to take me inside now!"

The worried guards face dropped. "At once, my lord."

The two made their way to the entrance of the Aries Villa. There were other guards, as well as detectives and policemen all across the area. A man was being dragged away in handcuffs.

"I swear I didn't do anything! I live to serve Lady Marianne! I would never harm her!" The blue-haired man yelled. Lelouch thought he recognized him. What was his name? Jerry?

Lelouch pushed those thoughts aside as he walked inside. The interior of the Aries Villa was even more chaotic than the exterior. Every piece of furniture within the hall was broken. There were scorch marks left throughout the walls. Paramedics were scrambling allover the place, working on two people in particular. One of them was help up in a stretcher.

"Nunnally!" Lelouch screamed as he ran over to her. He looked to one of the medics. "Wha happened?"

"She received some kind of strike on her spine. Whatever it was has paralyzed her at the moment. We'll do our best to save her" The man told him. Lelouch let them go after that.

Paralyzed? That would mean she couldn't walk anymore. If that were true, then what would happen. Lelouch wasn't ignorant enough to believe that she would just be fine. The rest of the Royal Family would just use it as an excuse to belittle the Vi Britannias even more so than they did. There would be no more peace for Lelouch, Nunnally, and Mother.

Mother...

Where was she? He hand't seen her since the lightning storm. And what was that?

No. Just one question at a time. So where was... she.

She was there. In the middle of the room. Her empty eyes stared at the ceiling as she laid on her back. Where her heart was, there was also a turned knife and a large bloodstain.

Lelouch, in shock by what he was, slowly walked over to her.

"My prince, no."

"You can't go near her, the area will be contaminated.

"You shouldn't see this."

He heard people talking, but they all sounded far way.

He kneeled over his dead mother.

"NO!"

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Lelouch screamed as his eyes opened wide.

"He's awake. Will you look at that, he's actually awake now" a voice said. Lelocuh turned to see a tall young man with lavender-colored hair wearing a white lab coat.

"Where am I?" Lelouch asked as he struggled to get up.

"Now, now. No need for alarm. My name is Lloyd Asplund, this is my assistant Cecile Croomy" he said while referring to the woman with purple hair. "As to where you are, welcome to my lab."

Lelouch looked around, and saw that the room he was in resembled a hospital room more so than a laboratory.

"If you're wondering about the room, we keep it here in case of.. emergencies" Lloyd informed him.

"It was the best place to keep you" Cecile said. "Given how unique of a case you are, no one really knew what to do with you."

"Unique case?" Lelouch said while rubbing his head. He pulled himself out of the bed and tot he ground. His legs felt strange. "What happened to me?"

"You were hit by lightning" Lloyd told him. He said with the simplicity of a man reporting the weather. "Frankly speaking, the fact that you're alive right now is nothing short of miracle."

"Lightning?" Lelouch muttered as he looked around. He saw himself in a mirror.

And gained a shock.

Lelouch was never physically fit. Even the most basic exercise left him winded. So the body he was seeing in the mirror could not be his. It was muscular, with actual abs. The muscles themselves were tightened. While the body wasn't shredded, it looked more like a runners body, being pretty lean and slim.

"Did the lightning give me... abs?"

"We can't really explain that" Cecile said. "You're muscles should be atrophied, given how long you've been in a coma. But instead they are in a state of constant, and baffling, regeneration."

"Oh" Lelouch said, still processing the look his body had. Wait, coma?

"How long have I been here?" Lelouch asked.

"Five months" Llyod told him.

"Five months?!" Lelouch could hardly process that. He had been asleep for five months. "What about my sister? Is she alright?"

"If you mean the girl Nunnally, then yes" Cecile kindly told him. "She and some friends have come to visit you a few times. I'll let them know you're alright."

And with that, Cecile left the room to make a call.

"With that aside, I think we should start testing" Lloyd said.

"Testing?" Lelouch questioned.

"Yes. Like I said, the fact that you are even alive after the lightning strike is remarkable. So if everything that happened afterwards" Lloyd said as he picked up an electronic tablet. He turned it on to show Lelouch.

"This is a normal person person's heartbeat" he said, showing Lelouch and animation of a beating heart.

"Ok" Lelouch responded, not really knowing what to say.

"This is yours after the lightning strike" Lloyd as he turned the screen. The animation changed to a heart ridiculously faster. It looked like a person having a heart attack, only it kept going. This was Lelouch's heartbeat?

"Your heart was moving so fast that the doctors actually thought you had flatlined. We had to step in to keep them from pulling the plug on you."

Lloyd put the tablet away. "And not just that, but the doctors also reported your body producing unusually high levels of static. They had to use rubber to work on you without shocking themselves. And there were a lot of power outages while you were there, so they couldn't really do much. "

This news was troubling to Lelouch. What had happened to him after the lightning strike. He couldn't remember anything after that, so he couldn't give any answers.

But that didn't matter to him.

"Mr. Asplund..."

"Just call me Lloyd."

" Alright, Lloyd. I'm willing to work with you to figure this out. But right now, I need to get back to my sister."

Lloyd seemed confused by this. "But Cecile said she would call them. They will know you're awake."

"I know" Lelouch responded. "But I need to see them.

"No, that may not a good idea" Lloyd frankly said. "Your body is still changing, in ways we still don't know how to explain. We need more tests to ensure that you are alright."

"You don't have to, I feel fine" Lelouch told him. "I need to go."

Lelouch went for the door, before stopping. He realized he was only wearing a pair of pants.

"Do you have any clothes I can borrow?"

Lelouch stood at the door of the Student Council Meeting Room, now wearing a black shirt and red jacker lended to him. He also had on some black running shoes. To him, it felt like he was in the room only a few hours ago. In reality, it had been almost half a year since he stepped foot inside it.

"Here goes nothing" he thought as he stepped inside.

"Welcome Back!" Several voices yelled in unison. Lelouch was taken aback, until he realized who it was. Milly, Rivalz, Shirley, Nina, and most importantly, Nunnally, were all in the room. The tables were lined with food and drink, and there were banners celebrating his awakening.

"It's great to see all of you" Lelouch said.

"Same here buddy" Rivalz said. "Gotta say, that was some nap you took. "

"But now that your fully rested, prepare to work to work extra hard. A vice president has many responsibilities, you know" Milly said.

"Not even back a full day, and you're already bossing me around again" Lelouch amazed.

Before anyone could say anything else, Shirley ran over and wrapped Lelouch in a tight hug. She let go just as fast.

"I'm so happy you're back Lelouch" She said with the beginnings of tears forming in her eyes. "But don't you ever do anything like that again!" she hastily added.

Lelouch couldn't help himself. "Of course. The next time I see lightning coming towards me, I'll politely ask it to hit someone else" he said sarcastically.

Shirley made an angry face at this. "You know what i mean!"

"I know! I know!" Lelouch responded while defensively holding up his hands. "Just making a joke."

"Not a very good one" Shirley muttered.

"Still, you can't really blame him for what happened. It's not like he could control it" Nina said. As per usual, he undivided attention was being given to her computer screen.

"Hasn't changed at all" Milly mused. "But honestly Lelouch, it is great to have you back.

"Great to be back" He responded. "Excuse me."

Lelouch made his way past his friends, and walked to the person who mattered most to him in the entire world.

"Hi Nunnaly."

"Big Brother" she said with tears beginning to stream. "I was so worried when I head what happened. They told me you're heart kept stopping."

Lelouch grabbed her hand and put hers to his chest. "You can feel my heart Nunnally. It's still beating."

"It is" she happily agreed. Then she giggled. "It's beating awfully fast."

Lelouch smiled at his sister.

"Hey Lelouch. Do you want some..." Rivalz said as he grabbed a plate of crackers. As he picked it up, he tripped over his own feet.

Lelouch turned in time to see Rivalz fall. What wasn't on time was the fall itself. Lelouch watched as Rivalz and the plate seemed to fall in slow-motion. Rivalz yell as he fell to the ground sounded distorted and deepened. The food of the plate fell off the plate as if it were tape being slowly ripped from paper.

"What the hell is going on?" Lelouch wondered, watching as the rest of the world seemed to be just as slow. The birds outside the window flew as if they were being held back by a rope. Nina's typically erratic typing moved at a snails pace, her fingers seemingly taking forever to hit one key. Shirley was about to cover her mouth to yelp at Rivalz's mistake, her hands stuck halfway to her mouth. They would not be reaching it anytime soon.

Suddenly, the world set back into normal time. Rivalz fell, and the crackers scattered all over the floor. Nina kept typing, and the birds flew away. Shirley covered her shriek.

"Look what you did Rivalz! You have to be more careful!" Milly reprimanded. Then she looked at Lelouch.

Lelouch could not comprehend what he saw. Why was the world so slow all of a sudden? Why wasn't he affected?

"Lelouch, are you alright?" Milly asked with concern. her friend looked like he had seen a ghost.

"I-I'm fine" Lelouch said. "I'm going outside for some air.

'What? But we have everything ready here" Milly complained.

"I know. I just need some air. I've just been inside too long."

"All right. Just promise to be back" Milly consented.

"I will. Don't worry" Lelouch said as he left the room.

"Is anyone going to help me pick these up?" Rivalz said.

"Ok. Ok. What was that?" Lelouch said as he paced outside the Academy. He was standing on the paved walkway, right next to the grass. There was no one else outside.

"Just take a deep breath, and relax" Lelouch said as he did so. "There has to be a perfectly... reasonable... explanation" Lelouch's words died in his throat as he looked at his right arm. Which was shaking.

Not shaking in the sense of fear. In fact, shaking was not the best word. Vibrating would be a more accurate word. His arm was vibrating, at he speed he couldn't believe. It seemed to be constantly shifting position at a pace that should be impossible.

Lelouch grabbed his arm in an attempt to stop it. The arm stopped vibrating. His hand didn't. It kept shifting position.

As he was trying to think of something else, Lelouch felt his body was like his body was propelled forward by an unseen force. He stopped before he could move much further.

Lelouch turned around, and saw that he was on the grass, the paved road at least ten feet behind him. There were two lines of charred lawn leading up to his feet.

"Did I do that?" Lelouch wondered. "How could I do that? To burn the grass I would have to move.. How could I move that fast? I..."

Lelouch's mind came to a halt as he realized the answer.

The Lightning!

Lloyd had said that his condition was unique. The lightning must have changed him.

But how exactly did it do that?

Lelouch looked forward and saw the main entrance to the Academy. Today was a rather slow day, and there was no one around for miles.

"Let's see what I can do" Lelouch said as he primed himself to run to the main gate. He took a deep breath, and relaxed himself. Then he ran.

It took him less than a second. As he stood in his spot, Lelouch looked around. Once again, he checked around. No bystanders. All around him, were miles and miles of empty road.

Lelouchs face broke into a grin, and his legs broke into a run.

He ran down the road, at speeds no human should be able to reach. His feet felt like they were on fire, the wind was pushing against his face. He felt electricity coursing through his veins. Behind him, red sparks were appearing as he ran.

It felt Amazing!

The rush of moving faster than a car, maybe even a jet. The air on his face, the ground under his feet. He couldn't even describe it.

He could run like this forever.

Or that's what he thought, until the limousine stopped in front of him.

Lelouch tried to stop. But with the speed he was moving at, the move was just too sudden. He ended up tripping over his feet mid-stop, and sliding across the hood of the car. He landed on his face on the pavement.

"I need to learn better control" Lelouch thought. "I now know that I can move fast. I have to learn to react and analyze just as fast now. I don't want repeats of this." Lelouch rubbed his face on the ground. He heard the limo doors open. "But first, I should deal with this. Just apologize and move on. Should be simple enough."

"Purely outrageous" A voice said from inside the limo. "A common ruffian would dare damage my royal transport? I shall have his head for this!"

"That voice... No!" Lelouch mentally panicked as he stood up to face his accuser.

The accuser had lavish shoulder-length blonde hair and striking blue eyes. He wore a purple suit with a white handkerchief. He was one of the most well-known people in Area 11, as he was the Viceroy in charge of commanding it.

He was Clovis La Britannia, Third Prince of the holy Britannian Empire.

Lelouch's older brother.

"Do you have anything to say for your...self?" Clovis stopped mid-rant as he saw the face of the one who hit his limo. Even after so many years, the features of his younger brother were not something he would forget. Especially when they laid before him.

"Lelouch?" he asked, hoping that his brother was indeed alive and before him.

"Shit" Was the only thought in Lelouch's mind.

In a darkened alley, a hidden figure watched the ordeal. He smiled at what he saw.

"And so, more pieces fall into place" he said as he watched the banished prince make eye contact with the Viceroy.

"Not much longer now" he said as he turned to leave. He ran, with purple lightning trailing behind him.

So that it for now. Hope it was an enjoyable read. If you haven't noticed, I'm taking inspiration from the fanfic story Dauntless. I'll try not to copy that story too much, but I don't think that will happen now that Lelouch has the Speed Force. This will be fun.

By the way, I recently posted a new story, one not related to Code Geass. It's called Not A Titan. If you guys could check it out and give me some feedback for it as well, I would appreciate it.

Be sure to leave reviews. Those only help me.

Until next time.
