Chapter 12

​Boyd regains consciousness sometime later in a hospital room. He can tell before he opens his eyes based on that unpleasant antiseptic smell fills the air. He’s reclined in a bed, checking in with his other senses first. He judges it’s been at least a few hours based on the level of healing he has achieved.

His wings are held out and open by a rack of some kind, probably cobbled together for the occasion. Hell maybe The Authority’s medical centers all have wing braces on hand, the extra appendages aren't that uncommon. Based on the feel they still have a while before they will be usable, but the bones have at least set. His internals feel a little tender but he’s hungry, and that’s always a good sign.

The bed is comfortable and he is covered in heavy blankets. They are likely lead lined although for him they didn’t need to be. Some Powered’s healing process give off low level radiation, his doesn’t but Silvie’s blood does. It’s enough that regular exposure could be problematic for normal people.

Part of the blanket down near his right hip feels a little heavier and warmer than the rest, when it shifts slightly his initial assumption is confirmed. Boyd inhales deeply, knowing that Silvie’s scent brings him comfort. He hates hospital’s and knows it will be hours before they let him leave. It’s not the sweet floral smell of Silvie that greets him though, it’s richer, spicier.

Boyd blinks his eyes open slowly. Yup, basic hospital room ceiling, view screen mounted in one corner, cabinets along the other wall. Currently dimmed lights that he knows will be way too bright normally. He tilts his head down.

Sure enough it’s a head of fiery red hair currently leaned against his leg. Kitsune pulled a chair up close and must have slumped forward onto him. Her breathing is even, apparently asleep.

It’s a little strange to see her there, he honestly expected to find Silvie ready to mother-hen him. She is a bit of a worrier even though so far he’s healed through just about everything. As far as they can tell, as long as he doesn’t bleed out rapidly or suffer an instantly fatal wound he will pull through nearly anything in a few days' time. He’d even regrown a hand. Silvie took it off while she was training in forming her energy into something like a sword and wielding it as such.

Kitsune doesn’t seem the worrying type though, as far as he could tell. She must have sensed his attention or maybe his movement because she slowly raises her head to meet his eyes. Her bright green eyes look tired but brighten a little when she sees he is awake. “Hey big guy, how are you feeling?” She asks, sitting up slowly. Boyd note’s that she’s still in her suit which looks spotless, although her hair is pretty mussed.

“I’m fine.” He rumbles back. “Everyone make it back?”

“Other than the four members of The Bionics we lost sixteen Non-Powered Officers, luckily the building was mostly empty when the bomb went off.
