Sparks | A NeonxReader story

Chapter 17

Neon's P.O.V.:

Everything was black, and my body ached. 'Fuck, my...everything' everything hurt. I slowly opened my eyes to see myself in the medical center at HQ, and Sage was already there to greet me. 

"Nice to see you awake again", she said. 

"How long have I been out", I asked, knowing it wouldn't have been a long time. "A Week", she answered. 

My eyes go wide, "A week!?", I said. I've never been knocked out for that long, what happened, why was I out for so long?

"What happened", I groaned as I grasped my forehead, I had a killer headache. I couldn't remember anything that happened. 

"Your surge protector overloaded and couldn't handle the amount of power you were creating, and you exhausted your electricity, which cause you to go unconscious until you gained it back", she explained. 

Great, if my suit was broken, then that means I was going to have to be in that stupid lockdown room until they got it fixed again. I hated it in there, it was so...boring. 

"Great", I mumbled. I wasn't really excited to be stuck in there for God knows how long again. 

"Did anyone get hurt?", I asked. 

"No. Y/N managed to get your powers back to a manageable level before you passed out or destroyed everything", she said. He did what now? How did he do that?

"What do you mean?", I asked, curious. 

"He went in there and opened a portal, and you discharged all your power into it safely without hurting yourself or anyone else expect him. He probably saved your life and everyone else in that lab", she said. 

'He really did that?' I thought. "He suffered a few burns but he is fine now", she added. So he got hurt too? All because I lost control, again. 

Why can't I just control these stupid powers? Why did more people have to get hurt because of me? I was frustrated with myself, I felt guilty that he got hurt, and that I put many lives in danger. 

I think Sage could tell that I was upset, and tried to console me. 

"You know, you may beat yourself up over it, or you can choose to learn from your mistake. Y/N is fine, and I think he would do it all over again if it meant the safety of you and the other people. He isn't the kind of guy to get angry over something like this", she said. 

I guess she was right, I shouldn't be acting like a child. 

"Salamat, thanks", I said. 

She nodded, before continuing to work as I got up. 

"You know, I don't know much about you and Y/N's relationship, but I can see that he cares about you more than he is willing to admit. Not many people are willing to die to protect someone else if they didn't care about them", she said. 

I was caught off guard by her statement, and I could feel that weird feeling in my stomach again. 

She turned to look at me, "But how do you feel about him?", she asked. I didn't really know how to respond, I was nervous and shy to talk to her, but I trusted her the most out of everyone, and I knew she could help me. 

"I've been feeling weird lately, around him specifically. Its a weird feeling I can't really explain, only that I feel really good when I'm around him. I wish that he would be more open with me, but he refuses to do so, and that hurts. I feel nervous when he looks at me and I don't know why", I said. I could practically see my cheeks blushing. 

She smiled, and laughed at me. "You know Neon, for someone who seems to know a lot about feelings, I never thought you would be so blind to notice your own", she laughed. 

"What do you mean?", I asked, desperate for an answer. 

"I will let you find out for yourself. If you listen to your heart, you'll know eventually", she said with a smile. 

'Listen to my heart?' I thought. What did my heart have anything to do with this, my emotions are what cause me  to lose control, and I can't afford to have another episode. 

I sighed as I sat down, I would have to go into that room again, but knowing dad, he'll have another one made really fast. I just have to wait in a boring room with nothing to do until that happened. 

Timeskip... (Im lazy af)

My dad eventually finished my new surge protector after three days, and he had the data from Y/Ns test, although he had some concerns with it that he wanted to express to Brimstone and Sage. 

"Yes, his power levels and radiant abilities are remarkable, and probably the highest I've ever seen", he said. 

"What's the problem with him being super powerful?", Brimstone asked. 

My father had an expression that I couldn't quite read. "His sword is very inefficient, and I believe has been purposefully tampered with to limit his abilities", he said. 

"That doesn't make sense, the omega world would have wanted him to be as strong as possible so he could cause the most damage. Why would they try to limit him?", Brimstone asked. 

"That is what I am worried about. I don't know why, but they were clearly afraid of something. They were clearly afraid that he may be too powerful", my dad explained. 

"I know him and he would never use his abilities to cause harm. He's a good kid", Brimstone said. 

"I agree with you, but like Tala's Surge protector is supposed to limit her output, his sword is doing the same, only much more than Tala's", He said. 

"How much more?", Sage asked. 

His face looked grim, and his words that followed sent shivers down my spine.

"Exponentially"
