- ! Don't do it! - The Question screamed inside the med bay emergency room, he was clearly disoriented and frightened, he opened his eyes and start remembering, first captain Atom kicking the…well you know what out of him, then Amanda Waller, the bullet…Batman Vs Superman, and John in the E.R., he felt discomfort in the lower back since he was tied up to the bed… he had an IV stuck in his right arm and his left arm was full of little purple dots from the medication they had to pump into him, antibiotics for the fever, plasma for the loss of blood, painkillers well…obviously not for fun… I wonder what did J'onn put in the mix?
-Someone who scratches my nose, please…it itches- Q said talking to the darkness.
-! Hi Handsome! Whispered a familiar female voice, I've missed you- Answer a shadow that's moving towards him.
-Helena? – Q recognize the voice but couldn't make up the events, his head still spins around in all four axis…she wasn't supposed to be here, she was fired by Batman no so long ago.. You ok?
- I'm fine- but the matter is…you ok Q?
-I guess so- Would you please release my arm so I can hold you? Said the question in a grave tone (she loves it)
-Nice try Casanova- I've been warned about your condition, you can't move.
There is something wrong with Helena, she is being too nice… Who long have I've been out?
-Long enough to miss a night in American Idol but before the season finale- Why?
-Did I miss the country special?- (Country music gets financing from Medical Corporation…it's depressing stuff, one day I'll prove it)
-No sir, you missed metal night!-
-Damn- -So I've been away for almost 5 days-
-No, just three days- Said Helena turning the lights on.
The question closed his eyes because the sudden brightness in the room bothered him bad and suddenly realized that his mask was removed… he panicked for a second and realize that is why they brought Helena back… for the mask, Helena can you please get me a glass of water?
-Yes baby- She turned the back at him and he gasp for air… feeling a certain rush of life within him, her beautiful dark hair was loose and cover everything but the last part of her back…she was wearing that perfume he liked so much…but wait…there is something terribly wrong!
-Baby ?- Hell no! The last guy that called her baby end up with and arrow in a narrow place! Helena, what is wrong with you?
-Nothing- She said while giving him the water, it was cold and refreshing…just great.
You seem better now, let me call J'onn and the others…they've been waiting for you to wake up.
-So they have? - respond the question thinking out loud… I need to talk to Ollie, can you call him?
-I talked to Dinah- She hasn't seen him in 4 days, she expected him to be here, when I told her you were shot she freaked out and started calling him at the house, the comm. Link , the cell phone... everywhere.
Did she tell you why didn't she report him as being missing in action? Don't you think is out of the ordinary?
-Well- Helena was a little concern….it depends.
-Depends on what?-
He proposed and she said she needed time….he got pretty upset and left, she suspected that was the reason they haven't talked in the last couple of days.
(Knock on door)
-Can I come in? - John asked.
-Yes you may- Helena answer.
How are you feeling, Vic? John was tired and seemed to grow older with the beard he was sporting just now. Before you thanked me for saving your life, I have to call J'onn and debrief you… sorry it's just protocol.
-He just woke up, isn't that a little rude, even for your standards soldier- Helena screamed, sounding more like the Huntress.
-Sorry, but It didn't bother you having first hand information about he felt about you- The soldier reply back, neither ashamed or concern.
(So that is why she is being so nice) Everything has an explanation, when you discard every logical solution, the illogical even if it seems unreal, must be true… thank you Sherlock Holmes… Now I really must ask John what was on the pain killers…
-No wonder why I left this place- Huntress squeal while leaving the room.
-Get your facts straight, well…never mind – John looked at her angrily but then he muffled something and came closer to the bed.
-We need to start-
-Ok, no problem- Where are Batman and Superman?
They live, that is all I'm allowed to say at the time.
So, Batman and Superman are not here (because they would be in here too), Green Arrow is been missing since the very same day Amanda Waller and her soldiers walked in here…He lied to me about the engagement (smart move!) and I'm the only one that knows this…that is way they're debriefing me so fast. This is not good.
J'onn comes on…John goes out giving him a concerned glance.
-This is not going to hurt- J'onn said.
It's about to get worse.
