Iggy PoV
I felt like I was floating in water, really weightless, but a silent current was pushing me along. I couldn't hear anything, or see. But I could feel, and my chest hurt, bad. It felt like I was being stabbed over and over right in my heart.
I tried to channel my inner fire and blast whoever was doing this right in their face, but my inner heat wasn't there. It was like my personal furnace had been dosed with water. I felt empty inside. I put up a mental checklist.
No inner fire
No powers (most likely)
No senses
Still able to think, so I cant be dead.
Well number four made the list ok I guess, I mean I might be in a coma, but can people in comas think? I'm gonna have to check that out if I wake up.
The pain in my heart was decreasing, something else was coming in and washing it away. Soon the pain was numbed into a dull thumping. It felt amazing, but I still couldn't feel my inner fire.
What could have been only a few minutes or maybe a few hours later I could start hearing things again, but the only thing I could hear was this annoying beeping sound. I was starting to get feeling back so I tried to open my eyes.
They felt like there was ten pounds of weight hanging on the top lid, or like they were glued shut. But I forced them open slowly.
As soon as they were just barely open bright light started searing my eyes. I shut my eyes faster than I had thought possible. Then I slowly opened them again, this time I was prepared for the light that assaulted my senses.
The beeping was louder, and even more annoying than before. There was also this annoying buzzing sound in my ears, like a mosquito. I looked to my right, where the beeping was coming from, and inches away from my nose was Nick's excited face.
"Iggy! Your alive! I am so happy your alive, cause I thought you were dead and if you were dead then I would be almost homeless. And I don't want to be homeless. So do you need anything?" he smiled at me then stood back a bit.
I cleared my throat then croaked out, "Water.." My mouth was drier than the Sahara desert. Which was probably normal for my body.
You see I don't sweat and my body doesn't produce a whole lot of extra water. Cause if I did then I wouldn't be able to make fire, kind of like trying to start a fire in the woods with wet sticks... So usually I didn't notice if my mouth was dry, or if it was 100 degrees and I wasn't sweating a drop. But without my inner furnace I was extremely aware.
Nick had finally come back with a glass of water. The pain made every little bit of movement hurt but I didn't care, I sat up and grabbed the glass from his hand then drank the water as fast as I could.
I glanced over to Nick, "More.. NOW!" He just stood there, mouth open and eyes bugging out of his head. You see normally I try and not snap at him, he's the baby of the group. But I was thirsty and I didn't care.
He was still standing there two whole seconds later, frozen in place. "Why are you still here munchkin MOVE!"
Screaming he ran out of the room, crying about how all of this wasn't real and he needed to go to his happy place.
Well boohoo for him but I was thirsty. Slowly I dropped back down on my pillow and when he finally made his way back I snatched the glass back from him and chugged it down once more.
I had him refill that glass I don't now how many times until he got smart and wheeled the bed I was laying on, over to the sink and let me do it myself.
When I was finally not gasping for breath I laid back and looked over at Nick. "How long have I been out?"
He gave me a huge grin then looked around slowly, "Three, almost four days.. no biggie!"
"No biggie? That's so long! Who's been running the team? Xander? Please don't say Xander!"
The boy broke down in tears, then he threw himself on my chest, making the dulled pain spring back to life.
"Nobody! We were busting you out of the hospital and we were just about to leave when that hero team jumped us! Bella made me save you and come back here. We're the only ones left!" Once again he broke down in huge sobs and clutched a hold of my shirt.
We were the only ones left, that wasn't possible, the others had to be around here somewhere. But I couldn't hear anything besides my light breathing and Nicks wailing. The Alley was empty.
I pulled the IVs out of my arm and slowly sat up, if we were the only ones left we were gonna need more money. And with my powers gone Nick was gonna have to get over himself and go rob a bank.
"Wait!" Nick squealed, then he ran over with a wheelchair. He helped me into it then wandered off to go make a snack or something. I wheeled myself down the hall towards the rooms. Getting the door open to the hallway was hard but I finally managed to get the darn thing open.
When I finally got to the "hallway of doors" as Xander called it I slowly wheeled myself over to the first door, Bella's.
It was still smothered in posters, but now there was more One Direction with only two Justin posters barely hanging on.
I pushed open the door and glanced inside. As usual there was random medical equipment hanging all around her room. And to my surprise several pictures of shirtless boys. I wheeled over to them and tore them off the walls in about two seconds flat, she knew better than to have those up. Once I gave the room a quick once over and saw nothing else illegal I left, quietly shutting the door behind me.
I passed Nick's room and went over to Xander's. I put my thumb on the newly installed finger scanner and pushed the door open once the lock clicked off.
Inside was the same as usual, random parts of robots and hacking devices scattered all around the room. I couldn't go very far because of the chair but I was able to look at some of his prototypes he was working on.
Once I left his room I headed down towards Danni's. Her door was no longer plain metal. Now it was a giant sketch pad. And at the moment it had a full body sketch of Nick and Bella. I could remember the day she had drawn it as clearly as if it was yesterday.
She had been yelling at the two of them, mainly Nick, to stop moving. As a result his sketch was a little blurry.
I pushed the door open and poked my head inside. The west wall was an complete mural of all of us together, and she had managed to sketch herself on the end by Xander. The rest of the walls were black with red swirls going all over the wall. The ceiling was painted to look like the night sky, it was really well done. I was impressed.
I slowly wheeled myself out and closed the door behind me.
We all knew that this might happen one day, we had just hoped we would all be together. But you never get what you wish for I guess. I wheeled myself as fast as the pain would allow until I came back to the dining hall. Nick was already there and was eating what looked like a month old banana.
I snatched it out of his hands and threw it into the trash. "Hey!" Nick looked up at me and glared.
I just smiled at him and placed a twenty in his hand. "Go snag us some groceries alright?" He looked down at the money in his hand.
"Why do I need this?" I laughed at him, this was stealing rule number one. "So you can actually buy some stuff and they wont get suspicious!" He blinked at me for a couple of seconds then he started smiling.
"Right.. yea I knew that!" Then he turned and ran off. I had just wheeled myself over to the kitchen counter when I heard him scream. I grabbed the thing closest to me, a spatula, and raised it up high in the air.
A moment later I heard footsteps coming down the hall. I wheeled myself over to the door and when it opened... "KABAM!" I smacked the intruder right in the face!
"Ha ha! I've got you now!..." But the "intruder" wasn't who I thought it was.. it was Danni!
"Danni!" I wheeled myself over to her, "Are you ok?" She smirked at me and pressed her hand to the giant welt growing on her forehead.
"I was until someone smacked me in the face with a spatula! And really? That was the first thing you grabbed to defend yourself?" She smiled at me and hugged me quickly, careful not to touch my chest.
I looked behind her, "So where's the others?" She grimaced then looked away.
"They've been compromised.." Compromised... it was like my mind went numb. I felt myself slump over and pain burst through my chest, but I couldn't do anything about it. It was like I was unconscious but yet, I was somewhat aware of my surroundings.
When I got out of my shock I found that I was faced with both a worried Danni and a worried Nick. Not a good combination.
I looked up at her slowly, "So what now? I don't have my powers, and both our hacker and healer are gone."
She stood up and put her hands on both mine and Nick's shoulders. "We keep on going.. What else is there to do?"
Then she turned and walked away. I looked up at Nick then turned my chair and did the same. Because it wasn't over, we were still Red X.
