Skull lets out a low groan. He didn't quite feel right about himself. He felt really calm. Even though that was making him nervous he couldn't feel nervous every time he tried it would end up being over taken by this giant wave of calm. He wanted to relax in it but he didn't quite now why.

"Oh! He is waking up too isn't he!" A female voice says almost as if though it was in far yet close.

"Are you sure the binds are necessary? I mean he acted out last time doesn't mean... Okay if you say so."

Skull slowly opens his eyes to see the waving effect of his environment. He rocking his head side to side trying to comfort the slow growing headache. Something appears in front of his face but he can't quite make it out.

"I guess he still needs a bit more time."

The object moves away and the sounds of footsteps follow after.

"He should be off the high in a bit."

Skull tries to sit up but finds he can't. He slowly feels something rising in his chest. He starts struggling more as thoughts come to his head. He starts to slowly remember what has happened. Everything recenters and clears as he yells, "Oh shit! Stich you okay!?"

Skull frantically tries to get up but still finds he can't. He looks down to see three metal straps across his body.

"What the hell! Doctor show yourself! Where's Stich!"

Stich comes into view of Skull holding up his notepad.

Calm down

"What do you mean calm down!? The Doctor and Nurse are here! We have to go kill them! Now get me out of this thing."

Sometimes Stich was glad his mouth was stitched up. It refrained him from yelling and complicating things. Like at this moment where he wanted to tell his friend how much of an idiot he is.

Its not the Doctor and Nurse

Skull still struggles with his straps.

"Than there his workers!"

"Nope. They're just healers. And we should be thankful for them."

Skull gives up on the straps and lays there tired out.

"Alright I'll bite. What did that guy do to us?"

Stich stands above Skull with his notepad showing downward.

He fucked us up

"I got that much! I mean after the battle. I swear I saw him do something."

Stich shrugs his shoulder.

Beats me. I'm happy enough to be alive

Skull sighs and asks, "Well can I be free?"

Are you calm? Not going to shoot anyone else right?

"Yea..."

Skull...

"Alright alright I won't! I promise."

Stich looks to the nurse and nods his head. She complies to Skull's wishes in freeing him. Skull sits on the edge of the bed rubbing his sore arms.

"Alright... What now?"

First look behind you

Skull turn all around to see a wall.

"This is the most beautiful wall I have ever seen."

Stich face palms and waits for Skull to turn around.

"I don't see why."

Look over your shoulder

Skulls does so to see his wings sprouted out towards the sky. Skull doesn't move for a long time just staring at his wings. After what seemed like ten minutes of nothing but silence Skull lies down on the bed.

"So I'm a wake up and."

We're already awake

"No the fuck we aint."

Come on Skull embrace this new attribute!

Skull gets out of bed standing over Stich.

"You're about to embrace my foot up your!"

"Okay boys!" Hearts says pushing Skull back onto the bed and scooting Stich back some.

Oh he just needs time to adjust really

Hearts nods her head and looks at Skull.

"Okay well Twilight has your ummm guns was it now?"

Yep

"Well yea she has them and the doctor should be here in a minute for you guys to be released."

"Thank god! I really don't want to be here any longer than I have to!"

Same

"I don't make good company?" Hearts ask placing a hand over her heart as if hurt.

Skull rubs the back of his head, "I didn't mean it like that..."

Well having you guest strapped down isn't the best way to start a conversation

"That was your idea." Hearts says poking Stich in the chest.

Don't know what you're talking about

Hearts is about to say something when the Doctor Red Hearts walks in holding papers.

"Well I'll need you two to come check in every week so we can see about your injuries. Also Twilight wishes to see you at the library."

Stich's eyes widen at the word library.

An intact library?

"Yes? Why wouldn't it be?"

Stich does a small corner smile. The doctor didn't know how much he just made his day. Stich grabs Skull and starts yanking him on his feet like a boy wanting to go but a toy or a new video game.

"Oh jeez. Stich and his books."

Skull gets up and follows behind Stich who takes off running. The doctor leans out the doorway, "Hey calm down you two! Don't work yourself to hard!"

"Alright!" Skull yells back over his shoulder.

"Oh I forgot about the boys wings..."

"I'm sure it'll be fine doctor."

The doctor shrug his shoulder and him and his nurse leave for another appointment.
