There was a white room with a bed in the middle. Several machines normally used to monitor patients in urgent care were placed around the bed. Next to the bed were two tables on each side and a window on the left hand side of the room. A certain spiky haired boy, laid in the hospital bed, several machines were attached to his body to monitor his condition. He had been there for six days after falling into a coma after a traumatic impact to his head. His breathing was steady and slow, and kept at a steady pace by a breathing aid that covered his mouth and nose. Suddenly his breathing went irregular and his eyes flickered. His heart rate sped up slightly and his fingers and toes twitched slightly. His eyes open a small crack revealing the ceiling as a white haze smearing his vision. He moaned as the nauseating feeling of recovering from a long deep sleep came upon him. It hit him hard and he tried to move his arm to his forehead, but it wouldn't move. Instead it just flopped off the side of the bed. Something must have been triggered because several nurses ran into the room and began working with some of the equipment. He groaned and went unconscious again.
When he awoke again, a certain frog faced doctor stood by his bedside with a clipboard in one hand. Touma noticed most of the machines were taken off from him and he was feeling much better than earlier.
"Ah, you're finally awake. We took you off the medication as soon as we heard you came out from your coma."
"I... ahh... I was in a coma?"
Heaven Canceller nodded his head, "For six days too."
"Six days!?" Touma turned his head and noticed the table next to him was packed with flowers and gift bags.
"A lot of people came by when you were out, especially that one brown haired girl..." Heaven Canceller smiled.
Touma's eyes widened when he saw one of the bags had a small green plush toy in the shape of an iconic frog character. He smiled slightly when he thought about the person who delivered that present.
"Anyways, you're doing just fine. All your vitals are healthy and you can probably leave in a few days. I'd advise you to try and get up later to get your muscles moving again." Heaven Canceller smiled and made his leave.
"Ah, wait. What about Index?"
"Oh, the nun? Mmm, last time I checked, she was with that really intense red haired guy. He said something about taking her back somewhere. Anyways, get some rest, Kamijou-san."
"Ah, thanks, doc." Touma fell back onto his pillow and drifted back into sleep.
BETWEEN THE LINES
A dimly lit room with a large round table in the center. Men of very high class, all dressed in suits sat in large chairs around the table. A wireless conference phone/speaker was placed in the center. All the men who sat around the table had expressions of seriousness and worry. All was quiet, until the phone in the center rang. All of their expressions tensed and they looked amongst each other. One got up and answered the phone.
"Hello gentlemen."
"Hello." Replied all of the men respectively.
"I don't find it very kind, for you members of Academy City board of directors to betray us."
"We are sorry for the damages done and the failure of the project, but we had nothing to do with the cause!"
"LIES, there were Espers in the premises. You are the only people that have Ability Users and they for sure were not Gemstones!
"But sir, we were one of your largest funders to the project. We had a deal, why would we turn on you so suddenly? It wouldn't make any sense at all, we agreed with your policies and arrangements."
