3RD PERSON POV

A singular hospital bed is floating in darkness as a beeping monitor is heard but never seen. Nothing is everywhere, but at the same time nowhere; in this never-ending singularity we see our hero unconscious and unaware. His eyes slowly open and the darkness enveloped his mind as his recent ordeals flooded his mind with chaos. Voices are heard but he has no recollection of who they are or where they are coming from. "John..." he says, but his mouth never moved, his eyes go wide as he realizes he could be no longer alive. Our protagonist remembers his last conscious thoughts of yearning for death, but makes no sense of it. Panic immediately sets into his mind and he attempts to scream but his lips don't move a millimeter. "Yes I know it's odd," a voice echoes but never appears "your last fight was gruesome. Even I wonder how you survived, it seems you lost some power as well."

"What or who are you? Show yourself!" Y/N exclaims with surprise. "I'm your power, and I have no physical form, or even a mental form. You think I'm magic or some entity living in you, no, I am none of the sort. I am technically you, so not even I know what I am. I, or you have barely enough strength to keep you here. Staying alive took most of your power. I/you are fading, you've lost so much of your body in that fight that it took your essence to stay alive and regenerate.

"No, that can't be..." Y/N trailed off "John is my friend, he would never kill me."

"Wrong, The boy has a horribly morbid mind, he's done unspeakable acts before, and he almost did it again. With your power now, you're much weaker than him and even that one Arlo persona. The power you saved up over the years was spent on life, omega form is gone now. Fortunately for you the contract is over, and you have a new set of power, not nearly as strong as previously shown but you have 1 ability this time. You need to be careful; goodbye for now."

Y/N then passes out inside the singularity while he wakes up in the real hospital. He looks around the room, wondering what all the machines were that have been practically piled around him. His leg was completely healed and so was the rest of his body. He wondered what happened the whole time of his physical absence. Looking into the corner of the room he sees a figure sitting in a chair, no, two figures obviously people in the corner. It was very dim and his vision was groggy so it practically gave him tunnel vision with the added fuzziness in his head. The figures were asleep slumped down. He looked to the window and he saw it was night time and the clock read 9:40pm. He spoke only a small mutter, "Hey, what the fuck. I had a weird ass dream and now I'm sitting here doped on pain meds." 

This seemed to be enough to wake the two figures that quickly turned on the lights and revealed themselves to be a young man in a suit and a certain pinkette. The young man spoke up first "Ah, you're awake! I need you to sign a few medical release papers and I'd like you to come with me."

Remi looked at him with surprise "Not yet mister, he just woke up. I don't think he wants to talk to a nxgen official first thing in the morning... or night." The man sighed and left the room speaking to a nurse that's in the hallway "Let me know when h-" the door shutting cut him off. 

Remi rushed over to him with a mixture of worry and surprise "I really don't know what to say; it's almost a miracle that your coma only lasted a day and a half!" She half squealed the last part. 

"Some damned miracle losing my power was..." He trailed off. "Yeah... wait what?" She asked with concern and fear.

"I already said it, I lost almost all my power. Regenerating is a bitch. I can't feel the control I used to have or even my own presence. I think I have some sort of rebound thing but I'm not sure. I'm so damned confused; but hell, I'm angrier." His eyes started to have a small but distinct glow in his pupils. Remi looked confused. "I thought you said your power was some magic or just a power. But if that's gone... then what remains." 

"I think that I really have an ability now... so I'm going to have to train."

Y/N's updated power level: 4.1

A/N: So a few of you decided to collaborate with me and give me some ideas, we'll actually it was only one of you. I'd give you a shoutout but you wished to remain anonymous so I'll respect that. You know who you are, I want to say that the idea of the 4.1 power level and the hospital scene were developed by not only me. Feel free to help if you really love the story. I think I'll continue it now.
