Damian woke up, his head swirling and throbbing with a big headache. He groaned and made an attempt to move but his body was in a lot of pain.
He didn't know where he was, but he was sure that he could hear the beeping of a machine; beep....beep... beep it sounded.
He groaned again but in agony this time...the realisation that his mother was really gone. He had really survived the accident, even though he was so sure that he had died after the trailer reduced him and his mom to paste. It hurt, it really did...his whole body was on fire, he felt as if he was missing some parts of his system, even though his limbs were complete.
A rift tore on the space of the room, revealing a portal. Patrick stepped out of it, he was still sporting the same fit as before.
'Hello, boy' he said looking at the bed ridden Damian. Damian didn't reply he just blinked weakly.
'My bad ..i mean you are in a pathetic state and i still asked that question..you don't have to answer' he added, swiftly as he realised his mistake.
'You must be wondering where you are? Well i will tell you .. you're in the Medical unit of the all renowned Time tower, home to the paradox society' Patrick continued glaring at Damian, he sighed and resumed again.
'What is the paradox Society or the time tower you might ask, well why don't i show it to you.....at least when you become mobile again...see you tomorrow' He said finally and hopped back into the space, closing up the rift.
Damian laid there and began processing what had just happened, Never in life would he have guessed that magic was real but here he was... regenerating... He sighed and rolled his eyes, it was going to be a tough ride and he knew it.
The next day came quickly, the dawn of a new day and era setting in on Damian's Clueless mind. He was no more feeling pain or incomplete anymore, except for the grief and mourning that lingered in him everything seemed normal.
He sat upright on the poster bed, stretching himself out, cracking his knuckles, he looked beside him and realized that the beeping was coming from a heart monitor that was mounted beside him.
'Congrats, Soldier you are now cleared.' the nurse said as she gazed at his file, tapping her pen aimlessly around the tab.
'Have a good time' she said and exsited the room gracefully.
Immediately she left, a portal opened indicating Patrick's return , he hopped out beaming, he was wearing a casual tee and shorts this time around.
'Today is my day off, my boy and it's all dedicated to you' he said proudly, tensing his shoulders up to brag about his generosity.
Damian looked, refusing to say anything he rolled his eyes and stepped out of the bed, he picked up his clothes from the side chair went into the changing space and after a few munites came back ditching his hospital wear at the spot.
Patrick still had his shoulders up, he was still expecting a review for his kindness, Damian tugged at his clothes and nodded at the door.
'Well, Lead the way' he said and Patrick quickly straightened up and marched out of the room, Damian following keenly.
'Right now you are on the pinnacle of the Time tower, known as the healing space, this is a place where soldiers of the paradox come to recouparate, rebuild or regain anything lost in the battle field and that includes anything'
'Incluiding Cancer'
'It's rare for time keepers to have such, but I am sure if any of us are to fall a victim of that, there is a technology in here that could take it away ASAP..You see the watch tower consists of high grade technology across different dimensions and different Centuries so that's that'
'So why can't you save my mom?' Damian grunted, gnashing his teeth. Partrick sighed and stopped walking turning to face Damian.
'Look...kid..we all have what we lost.. everyone working under this building has lost one thing or the other believe me if there's a technology to bring the dead back to life without fucking up the timelines then noone would be here. But we are here fighting...give this place a chance Damian, make it your new home' Patrick said delivering his speech.
Damian could do nothing but nod after.
'Now come let's go see the 14th floor' Patrick said, and walked, leading him to his Future, his life has changed drastically and he knew it. Never will he be able to go back to his other life anymore.
