Tower Of Mistakes

Aftermath

The two walk back out, facing the three before sighing.

"He's okay now, but still no change." said Mel.

"Seriously, it's been a week, how much longer till he wakes up?" asked Tom.

Sal looks to his partner before regarding the corrupted man.

"He took a lot of heavy damage due to the building collapsing, not to mention he has mental trauma, it could be awhile." said Sal.

Tom's hands grip into tight fists and he walks away, slamming his fist into a wall to create a giant hole. Sal jumps, hiding behind Mel who just shoves him away.

"Red Leader is strong, he will come out of this, and for Tom's sake, he better." said Mel.

Edd nods, wiping his tears with Matt holding him close. That wasn't as reassuring as he was hoping it would be.

The two scientists walk away, leaving the couple outside the room.

"Edd, Tord will wake up... won't he?" asked Matt.

"I-I don't know, I hope he does, but, he had a heart attack and his heart stopped, even the electric shocks of the crash cart didn't wake him." said Edd.

The ginger nods, resting his chin on Edd's head. They continue to sit and wait, wait for Tom to get back, and to wait once again for their friend to return to them.

Tord opens his eyes, bored out of his mind but at least he could hear things better. The beeping was loud and constant in his ear, same as the voices of a man and woman.

Who they were, he had no idea.

But at least he could move his body, well, all but his left arm. Tord could also swear he couldn't see out his left eye, but due to the darkness, he couldn't tell.

Tord sighs before standing and starts to walk. That's all he can really do, walk and see if there's an end to the darkness.

'It feels like I've been walking forever.' thought Tord.

He keeps walking when the voices return, but louder.

"He's still not responding, it's already been a month and he's still unconscious." said a male voice.

"But, he could still get better, we can't give up!" came a new voice.

Something hits Tord and he looks up, he knows this voice. As he thinks, he swears something flashes in the dark, it looked to be... green?

Tord shakes his head and keeps walking.

"He's right, we can't give up on Tord, he's out friend, he's always had our backs." came another new voice.

Purple flashes this time and he shakes his head.

These voices are so familiar, but he can't recall who they are. Or even why they seem to matter so much to him.

He keeps walking, but now the voices were getting softer. Was he going the right way?

The voices that once were loud were now reduced to mere whispers.

'I have to keep moving, I'll find a way out soon.' thought Tord.

He kept walking, further into the darkness. As he walked, he could swear it was getting darker.

Lifting his hand, the devil haired man could barely see it anymore.

'Doesn't matter, I have to keep going, I have to find a way out.' he thought.
