You didn't get much sleep that night. You didn't really mind, you had caught up on sleep.

Sans woke up fairly early. Surprising. Although you both had to go meet everyone in town, because they shopped all night almost.
-------

You were both walking. Sans more or less... he was floating to a degree. The sudden sound of fire trucks was enough to make him drop to his feet.

He looked at you and stood up, sprinting beside you to see what it was about.

You both came to a halt when you saw a burning building. "I'm gonna teleport inside and get them out."

"What if no one's in there?!"
"Better to try."

With that he did just as he said he would, saved people who were inside. He hadn't come out for a while. You panicked. 

You called his name. And after a while an explosion of blue filled most of the area.

Sans looked burned. Badly.
He looked up at you and chuckled. "Three,Two,One" as soon as he hit one the building collapsed.

The firefighters stared at him. You saw the light fade fr his eyes, then he fell to the floor.

You checked him, terrified at what could have happened.
He had lost a bit of HP, and his soul. It...it was cracked, with burns over it.

"GET THE AMBULANCE!" you herd some person yell. You looked at his hp once more, 20 out of 30. It wasn't too low, but still worrying

His breathing slowed, causing you to tremble.
"Your ok... your ok.. he's ok.. he- he's.." you stuttered, trying to make the best out of a bad situation.
--------

You were at the hospital, they said sans was in 'critical' condition, and he was lucky that he was human. They probably didn't know he was a monster before.

A doctor came out with a clipboard and walked up to you. "We're finding traces of monster DNA in his system, how is that possible?" He looked down at you

"He uh... WAS a monster?" You said while shifting in your seat.

He looked at you surprised.
"Hmm, well we can't do much for a monster soul, despite what he is now, all we can do it wait, or you can take him back home and let someone heal him. Modern medicine won't work for such a complex soul." He tapped his pen on the clipboard and waited for Your answer.

"I- uh... I'll take hum back, paps or mom can heal him."

He nodded and told you to wait there.

Finally they helped sans walk out. He put his hands at their arms and shoved them off him.

"I got this." Was all he said before looking at you. "Mind if I try something real quick?" He asked the nurse beside him.

She didn't mind, so he tried to do something.
"Before I do this, DONT freak out."  They all nodded.

He summoned a gaster blaster, but before he could do much with it, it turned back to nothing.

"Magics actin up." He shrugged it off and walked to you.
"Welp guess we're walkin'"
-------

DAMN IT. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN HIM.

Like you said, just wait.

NO. I COULD HAVE HAD HIM. KILLED HIM.

just wait.
We'll get them.
All of them.
