Part One
Sora could hear a soft beeping from close by. He wasn't sure what the source of the noise was but as he focused on it, he could hear it beginning to mesh with distant voices. Sora groaned as he began to stir. He weakly opened his eyes and took in his surroundings. As he looked around, he was confused to find he was lying in a bed in a white, sterile room. It was then he noticed the palmless-gloves he had been wearing earlier were missing and instead found what seemed to be a thin needle stuck to his arm. Sora instantly snapped awake, sitting up quickly in the bed.
"Easy, young man," a man's voice said calmly. "You shouldn't try to move.."
Sora turned to look at the owner of the voice and was shocked to see an older man with greying pepper hair and beard standing beside the bed.
"W-where AM I?" Sora demanded. "What's going ON?"
"Please, you need to calm down.." the man said. "I am Doctor Miles Rose.. You're at the Brooklyn Hospital Center.. You have been in an accident, but don't worry, we're taking care of you."
Sora stared at him, a lump forming in his throat.
"H...hospital!? But.. But I..!"
"Don't worry, everything will be alright.." stated Dr. Rose. "I know it might seem frightening, but thankfully your injuries had been minimal.. However, you will need to return to get your stitches removed."
"S..stitches..?"
It was then he felt the dull ache in his head. Sora instinctively reached a hand up, feeling a thick swathe of bandages beneath his fingertips.
"H-how long was I out?" Sora stammered.
The doctor looked at his watch.
"Well, you were brought into the E.R. at around seven thirty last night.. It's about three O'clock in the morning now.."
"O-oh.." Sora murmured, looking at the bed.
"Do not worry," said Dr. Rose. "You should be alright as long as you have enough rest.."
He soon held up a clipboard.
Now.. Do you remember your name?"
"It.. I-it's Sora.." Sora replied, still uneasy about his predicament.
"And your last name?"
Sora stared at him, confused.
"It.. It's just Sora.." he stammered.
"Well, 'Just Sora', I can not complete the records unless we have your full name.."
Sora tried to think of what to say, wondering why they were asking for a last name? In all the worlds he had visited they never asked what it was. Come to think of it.. He couldn't remember what it could be. How was that possible? Wouldn't he know his own NAME? Sora looked up and saw the doctor was waiting patiently for his response. He had to think of something. Sora thought of the meaning of his name and soon looked up.
"Um.. Sky.." Sora replied. "I-it's Sora Sky.."
Dr. Rose nodded and wrote the name down.
"Thank you, Mr. Skye.." he smiled.
"Please, just call me Sora.." Sora stammered, looking at the bed.
The doctor nodded.
"Very well, Sora.." said the doctor. "I'll get the rest of the information filled out.. In the meantime, there's somebody here to see you."
Sora looked up and was surprised to see a young woman walk into the room. The woman seemed to be almost the same age as Axel, maybe younger. He took in her slight build and her long dark auburn hair that had a slight curl to it, dressed in a formal outfit looking back at him. She adjusted her glasses as she made he way over to him.
"Hey.. So uh.. I'm sorry I hit you with my car.." she said a bit sheepishly.
"Uh.." Sora started. "It's.. It's okay.."
The girl nodded and sat in the nearby chair
"Name's Amelia," she smiled. "Amelia Slade."
"I'm Sora.." Sora stopped for a moment before adding. "Sky.. S-Sora Sky.."
Amelia raised an eyebrow curiously.
"You sound like you were having trouble there.. I'm guessing you must've hit your head pretty hard, huh?"
"Uh.. Y-yeah.." Sora replied, going with whatever Amelia was saying. "Yeah, m-my head does kinda hurt.."
"Yeah, sorry about that.." Amelia frowned. "I tried to stop the car, but the road was too wet.! I'm seriously sorry this happened.!"
"Hey, Amelia.. It's okay." Sora assured gently.
"Call me Mia.." Amelia smiled. "Pleased to meet you, Sora."
She reached out and Sora took a moment before shaking her hand.
"Oh, by the way.."
Mia took out a pair of palmless-gloves and handed them to Sora.
"They took these off to put the IVs in."
Sora took them gratefully and smiled.
"Thanks Mia.."
Mia looked at Sora a bit curiously.
"Ya know? You look really familiar.." she stated. "I feel like I've seen you before.. Have we met before?"
Sora was surprised and soon thought for a moment.
"Uh, I don't think so.." Sora said.
He soon looked up.
"So, what is this place? Aside from the hospital I mean."
Mia looked at him incredulously as if he asked if water was actually wet.
"Uh, Brooklyn.. Brooklyn, New York.." Mia replied, soon frowning a bit. "You sure you're feeling okay?"
"Oh! Y-yeah.." Sora replied, sheepishly. "I'm fine.."
Mia wanted to continue asking when the doctor reappeared.
"Alright, Sora.. It looks like you're all set."
"Uh, thank you, Sir.." Sora replied. "So.. What now?"
"Well, according to the records, you should be well enough to go home."
"Yeah.. Home.." Sora murmured.
"Hey, I'd ya need a place to stay, you can crash at my place." Mia offered.
Sora looked up in surprise.
"R-really?"
"I mean, ya know, it was kinda my fault. So, why not?"
Sora smiled.
"Thanks."
Mia smiled back.
After signing a few forms and some discharge papers, Sora made his way out of the hospital and with the help of Mia, he got into the car and they began their way down the road.
Author's Note: In case anyone is confused, I looked up what Sora means and it actually does means 'Sky'.. Also, I had to look ip a lot of information for the different names of places.. I will try to get more up soon..
