Hooded Phantom Rebirth

Season 1: Episode 1

Flashback, In San Jorge Hospitals
Annaliz's POV

We rushed into the hospital with my parents and his aunt. We shouldn't have taken the shortcut or else none of this would've happened. Why did it have to happen to him?

We were there, waiting for hours on end. The doctor hasn't gotten out of his room yet. I got more and more worried because of it. What is taking so long? Is it that serious? "Please, please be ok," I said to myself, making a fist as I tightly held it. That's when the door suddenly opened as the doctor revealed himself from out of the room and started to walk towards us. "Excuse me, but which one of you is Joseph's caretaker? I need to speak with you," said the doctor in a serious tone. Joseph's aunt looked at doctor as she gently nodded, standing up. His mom and stepdad passed away in a car crash a few months ago, and as for his biological father, well, he isn't in the picture anymore. Something that's been frustrating him for a long time. "C- Can I come with," I asked a bit quietly as I stood up. The doctor looked at my parents, to which they nodded at the doctor. He then looked back at me. "If you'd like," he said, as he entered Joseph's hospital room.

There he was, laying down in his hospital bed. I kept hearing the heart monitor beeping as looked at him. His forehead was covered with bandages and had some scratch marks of which the glass have impacted. I could feel myself prepare for the worst as I tried to hold back the tears. "He has a few fractured ribs and a small crack in his skull, however he will survive," the doctor said. "Oh thank god," said Joseph's aunt as she sounded relieved. I sighed in relief. "However, with that being said, it'll take time for him to fully heal. I suggest he stays here within our care," the doctor continued. I was silent. "W-Will I still get to see him," I asked shyly. He looked at me and smiled. "Yes, of course," he said. "Now I must inform your parents about this. Care to join us?" he asked. "No, it's fine. I-, I want to stay here for a with him," I said looking at Joseph. "I understand," the doctor said, nodding and heading out with Joseph's aunt. I stood there and looked at him. Every second I looked at him made me want to tear up. I walked towards him and sat in a chair next to him. "Please........ come back to me," I said with a sad expression.

Joseph's POV

"My name is Scales. I look forward working with you, Joseph Torres."

Just then, I felt an instant rush of energy. And just like that I woke up from my coma. I quickly raised my body on a sitting position and started breathing heavily. I looked at my hands and asked myself, "Where am I?" I started looking around. Just as I look to my left, I see Annaliz, filled with tears. "ANNALIZ!" I said, hugging her tightly. "Y- You're ok!" she said hugging back even tighter. "Of course I am," I said. "Wait, what happened?" I asked quite confused about what happened, as I pulled away. "Y-You, don't remember? You were hit by a car and were rushed to the hospital," she said. "I was hit by a car? Crap, no wonder I feel like shit," I said, feeling the bandages on my forehead. That's when she grabbed a hold of my hand. "I- I thought I lost you," she said. I looked at her as I gave a quick peck on the lip and smiled. "It'll take a lot more than a car to crash my world," I said. She cracked a smile. "You goofball," she said giving me a peck on the cheek.
