'GASP!!!'
You shot up, trying to properly breathe. Your first reaction was to reach for your mouth, as something was blocking your airway.
But suddenly, a pair of hands rested upon yours, restricting you from grabbing at whatever covered your nose and mouth.
"It's okay, dear. It's just an oxygen mask." A kind female voice cooed. "It helps you to breathe. You're just having a panic attack, you need to relax. Shhhh. It's okay. You're okay."
Blinking a few times, you took in the face before you - of what appeared to be a nurse.
A young woman wearing the classic nurses hat, and a pure white smock.
You then felt the hospital bed beneath you as you gripped the sheets; trying to regain your composure.
But then... that's when it hit you.
The pain.
"What the fuc-...!" You spat as you fell back into your pillow, the pain invading every part of your body.
"You've suffered a substantial amount of damage to your body, Miss." The nurse motioned, still hovering over you. "Recovery Girl is just in the other room. And she will be in here shortly to tend to you. I can give you a few more pain meds to hold you over."
The young woman then began to administer a syringe from a vial when her words finally hit your slow focus.
"Recovery Girl?" You panted, still trying to ignore the pain.
"Mmhmm. And you're very lucky that she just so happens to be here today. Are you a Hero, Miss?"
When you laid there in silence with your eyes squinting into questioning slits - the nurse thought she had overstepped your privacy.
"I'm terribly sorry for asking. It's just that no one typically comes into the ER with those kinds of injuries - unless they're from UA or a Pro Hero."
You coughed, not quite catching on just yet. "I must be dreaming. A very good lucid dream, because I can feel EVERYTHING."
"I'm sorry, I don't follow." The Nurse, clearly confused by your choice of words.
"Give me those pain meds, please. I just want the pain to stop so I can wake the fuck up."
The nurse was completely baffled by your behavior, but complied as she injected your fluid bag with the meds. And before she took her leave, you stopped her.
"And uh... thank you. Thank you for what you do. It's appreciated." You forced a smile, as you truly believed that anyone working in the medical field deserved constant praise. Whether if this was a dream or not.
"Thank you so much, Miss. If you're not a Hero, you should be one." She smiled as she removed her nurses hat and took a bow of respect.
But as she removed her hat, a pair of horns were planted upon her head.
You didn't mean for your theatrics of dropping your jaw and widened eyes - but thankfully the kind nurse didn't notice, as she smiled and left.
"What did I just see?" You questioned. "Am I dreaming? I'm freaking dreaming! Wake up!!"
You then pinched yourself, only for that pain to trigger your already damaged body.
"Arrggghhhhh!"
Your breathing hitched, fogging up your oxygen mask as you tried to sit up once again.
'She mentioned Recovery Girl, UA and Heroes.' You thought to yourself. 'What's going on?'
