Kaldur was taken to the imfirmany immediately. He was given several fluid bags, all used. He fell asleep when Amanda Waller came in the room. She watched him sleep until he woke up from a nightmare.
“Welcome back Aqualad.” Amanda said as she walked to the bed.
“Where am I?” Kaldur asked.
“That is classified. How have you been?” Amanda asked.
“I was tortured for what seemed like a lifetime . How do you think I am.” Kaldur asked tiredly.
“I could only imagine. I hate to tell you this but have you looked in a mirror.” She asked slowly.
Kaldur began to panic. He slowly and carefully got up and looked in a mirror. He almost did not recognize himself. His hair was longer and then ends were covered in dried blood. His eyes kept dilating and constricting with the light. And his gill were slit multiple times. He began o cry at the reflection.
“What did he do to me?” He began to sob at the thought of never going home.
“We will find the man who did this to you. Can I get you anything?” Amanda asked.
“Can I get a hair cut?” Kaldur said with a small chuckle and light smile.
“Of course.” She said with a small smile.
“When will I be able to return to my team.” Kaldur asked as he laid back down on the bed.
“When you can stand on your own two feet without falling.” She answered.
“Ms. Waller, thank you.” Kaldur said as he fell asleep.
‘You’re welcome Kaldur.” She said as she left the room.
After 5 hours of rest and 4 more fluid bags used, Kaldur got his hair cut to its normal length and his uniform cleaned. Amanda walked with him to the zeta beam and watch him off. For the past few months, Kaldur has been doing small simple favors for Amanda. Like his mother always said; do a favor for a friend, it is not a favor, but do a favor for an enemy, it will become a debt.
