Day 37: Sun Room (4th Shift)

[secret-orchard.livejournal.com]

There were still too many things on Armand's mind for him to truly relax. The morning with Alec had been a help. And seeing that TK was going to be well helped him know that it was time to work out something else, but what? He'd already, without success again, tried to reach one of the club leaders about his sole idea of something new and different. Maybe it was hopeless.

There was no way he was going to play with paper and glue like a small child, and he glared at the nurse as best he could until she gave up on the idea. There was a free chair in the Sun Room--in fact, there were many free chairs--where he settled down to see what the new patients looked like. Prisoners, not patients. He felt bad that he had to remind himself. Even if he was crazy, he wasn't going to give in to Dr. Landel's game, not today. He nibbled on an overgrown cuticle and kept an eye on the room. No dozing today.

Matt frowned and snorted. "Of course he is. They can't ever be rational and sane when it comes to this sort of thing. So, is it just super-heroes running around here gluing glitter to plates and fighting monsters? Or are there actual paitents here as well?"

He knew there were other people in the room, but he couldn't pinpoint any information about them.

"I'd say either the super-heroes in here are in the minority, or a lot of them are so scared of revealing their identity that they won't mention it. But I think that everyone here was kidnapped from their own dimension," That seemed to be the common story, people going about their lives and then suddenly waking up here.

There were some very weird beings here, though if the claims some were making that they were gods were true. Steve had fought alongside Thor for long enough to accept the possibility, but it was still odd.

There was something Steve wanted to ask, though. "How good is your hearing in here, Matt?"

"I'm not surprised that others probably are keeping their heads down." Matt might be doing the same if he wasn't speaking with Steve. One never knew...

And of course, the question he really didn't want to deal with. Taking a breath, he sighed and shook his head.

"Not as good as it was." He tilted his head and concentrated. "If I try, I can almost hear your heart..." Matt shook his head and pulled his hearing back. "But there's just too much going on to really pinpoint it."

The news that Matt's hearing wasn't as good wasn't surprising, but it was perhaps worse than Steve losing some of his ability. Matt needed his hearing to be at it's best to make up for his lack of sight.

"It's much quieter at night," Steve commented. "Speaking of night, I think it's better to work in groups here, would you like to meet up with me and Nightcrawler tonight?"

Steve didn't know what he was going to do tonight, aside from meet up with Nightcrawler, and hopefully Matt, and make sure that no one got mauled by a monster.

Matt nodded. "That would probably be for the best," he agreed. "Where do you want to meet?"

...because of course Matt knew his way around.
