21st October 2007
William was in a wheelchair outside the facility holding the hand of his loving wife like he expected it ripped away.
"So Hamidon's a blob, the Rikti are still here, almost all the heroes of the world died and the city is over-run with crime, viscious gangs and freaks bent on either conquering or destroying the world... should've stayed in a coma"
Elizabeth giggled; his sense of humour was still there but his physical recovery was still a long way off. The orderly arrived ready to take him to therapy. He looked round and with a grimace looked back to his wife.
"Time for more therapy I guess. I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Of course" she replied. Almost not wanting to let go, William held as long as he could as she walked slowly away.

Steel Canyon Neural Research Center, 20th October 2007
An alarm sounds through the hallways, "code blue" is the call from the staff as they race with a defibrillator to suite 15 only to be stopped by one of the residents.
"It's okay" he said in a calming voice and as they panicked he pointed to the man standing at the window looking out on the city surroundings, the tall buildings, the fire down below being started by Hellion arsonists and stopped by passing heroes.
"Where am I?" he asked, calmly and with a strange autority...

Elizabeth Benedict was visiting suite 15 where her husband, William, lay comatose. She made a point of visiting every day as she had done for the last 5 years. Today she had made a choice, a difficult choice which would decide her husband's future. An experimental technique which could restore him or potentially kill him. If it worked, they would reap the benefits of advanced neuro-tech capable of restoring even the most damaged of minds. If it didn't she would finally lay him to rest.

The Doctors were concerned, William's heartrate has increased dramatically during the procedure and was in danger of stopping... which it did.
Several minutes passed for what was the longest of Elizabeth's life as William's heart had stopped. Several minutes passed and nothing happened. The Cheif Surgeon was about to call it when...
*beep*
They all turned at the same time as the machine let out a single indication that this man wasn't dead yet but it flatlined again...
*beep*beep*
The machine started beeping erratically and they began CPR to try and steady his rhythm.
Elizabeth was confused, elated and scared all at once. She was pushed aside as the medics continued to work on her husband until as one of them decided to start pushing down, William's hand grabbed his arm. The beat steadied and the arm was released...
William was wheeled into suite 15 where he had spent the last few years in the care of the facility. The Doctor explained something about a 'reflex action' and that was why he had reached out during the turbulant part of the procedure.

The orderley attended the bits and pieces in suite 15 while the nurse checked on William's vitals. His heart-rate was fine as was his blood pressure...
...William's eyes started to stir; the nurse and orderley left together whilst he was reliving the moments up to being put into this coma... the Rikti attack, his employees fleeing the building, the beams collapsing and finally black when he had been struck down and trapped...
He opened his eyes and looked round the room in a haze of confusion trying desperately to comprehend what had happened. He slipped sideways out of the bed and planted his bare feet on the cold floor. He wobbled and swayed as he took to his feet, grasping the bed for a moment as he stood upright. The cable attached to him was yanked from its socket setting off an alarm but he simply looked out at the world around him.
The door burst open; the resident looked at the standing 'comatose' patient in almost complete shock. He stopped the code team and pointed to the man standing in the room
"Where am I?"
"Call Mrs Benedict immediately." He ventured in, approaching William and asked "Do you know who you are?"
"William Arnold Benedict, you buffoon. Are you going to keep asking questions in answer to my questions or will you give me some details on some things eventually?"
"Well I'd prefer that you sit down first, this may take a while"
