"Wow, you look horrible," Liam muttered, walking into the man's hospital room. This was his assignment today, keeping this man company. Barry Allen the chart said. "Struck by lightning, that's..." He smiled, moving over to the man's bed, getting a good look at Barry. He was tall and lean, with brown hair and fair skin. He looked tired, despite being in a coma. "I hope you get better, I really do..." He said, pulling out his books. "It is nice to meet you, Barry, my name is Liam. I am going to be keeping you company today. They say hearing is the last sense to go, so maybe you can hear me. I hope it makes you feel better."
Then Liam made the mistake that would change his world forever. It was a simple mistake really... he grabbed Barry's hand, hoping that the contact would help Barry's mind, having read that humans needed touch as social creatures.
The moment their skin met, a surge of white hot energy shot through Liam's body and he collapsed, falling to the hard marble as darkness took his vision entirely.
The last thing he saw, as he fell away, was a stunning black woman reaching for him with concern in her eyes.
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a blast to write, simple but powerful. Leading to a lot more.
Suggestions on Meta powers are welcome.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
