Scientist: Someone get a medic!
Strangers: Is he ok?
Michael was barely awake but heard that chatter around him as he faded in and out of consciousness.
Mom: Michael, Michael, Michael wake up!
Michael: I hear ya, I hear ya.
Mom: What happened?
Michael: We were experimenting with new tech and it went haywire. Sorry for scaring you.
Dad: We are just happy you are safe.
Mom: You need to stay away from there for a while ok?
Michael: I can't we have been working on this for weeks.
Dad: When I said break a leg I didn't think you would actually break one.
Michael: Wait my leg's broken?
Dad: How can you not tell?
Michael moved his leg back and forth but still felt no pain.
Michael: Did the nurse give me painkillers?
Dad: No?
Michael: I'm telling you it's fine. I could probably stand just on that one if I wanted.
The nurse arrived shortly after.
Nurse: Well we got your X-ray back and I have never seen anything like this before.
Michael: What do you mean?
Nurse: Every bone in your body is completely healed now. Do you feel any pain?
Michael: I feel great.
Nurse: If that's the case then you are free to go.
Mom: Wait. Why is his IV blue?
Nurse: The blood is not getting oxygen. Mr Savik I need you to follow me now. Both of your parents should stay here.
Michael: Not until I figure out why that is blue.
Nurse: That's what we are going to figure out.
Michael: OK.
They walked down to the main doctor with worry visible in his eyes.
Michael: I need to get out of here.
Nurse: What was that?
Michael: Nothing.
Nurse: Wait here. The doctor should be here soon.
As soon as she left, Michael ran as fast as he could out of the hospital and into the forest.
Michael: Hey I need an Uber now!
Employee: Boss! Are you ok?
Michael: I'm fine! I need a car!
As he said this, he felt a surge of energy that needed to be released. He stretched his arm out and miraculously, he made a car.
Michael: What is happening to me? How did I?
Employee: I'll be there soon.
Michael: Actually, take the day off. I just found a ride of my own. Well, Jim. Looks like those human trials are beginning sooner than expected.
