The ghost whirrred around in alarm in the room, practically frantic at the news. "Wade, shit, uh excuse my language."he began "her vitals dropped dangerously low, everything; heart rate, respiration rate, that...strange brain activity. I...I don't know what to do."he relayed, hovering above her slowly. He had never felt so helpless, not since the last time, but this was worse...much much worse. -- I stared at them, pulling away from pahanins embrace, brows furrowed in conflict. My mentors words were what I've wanted to hear for a long time, feeling a form of relief wash over me that once weighed me down for years. It was a sense of closure that I never got. I looked up, passing a glance to each and everyone, noting the smiles that curved at each of their lips. I had...[i]we[/i] had avenged them, a form of euphoria bubbling in my chest. Wait...we? [i]wade[/i] I thought, coming to the realization. Pain returned to me and I gave them a panicked look, but they only smiled. As if in reassurance.

"Ah shit" I sighed and ran up to her, and removed her scorched chestplate and threw it on the floor and pressed my ear on her chest as I looked for a pulse on her wrist. I listened for a moment, before my eyes widened. She didn't have a pulse. "Fvck" I said as I turned to look at Hades, but he wasn't...he wasn't going to be any help. "Sam!" I yelled at the direction of the cockpit. "Sam I need you, where's the defibrillator" I yelled as I started doing the presses. The defib materialized next to me, hitting the floor with a loud thump.

I tried again... nothing. I knew that trying the third time was a long shot but I wasn't going to give up. I gave her another shot of adrenaline and waited a few seconds, and shocked her... nothing. I slumped on the floor, defeated. I just watched her for a moment, laying there lifeless. A sudden surge of arc energy shot through me right arm. "Goddamnit Artemis!" I smashed her chest.

Warmth. Being in their presence no longer made me fearful, bit happy that I had eased their pain...and my own. I felt myself smile and looked up to Pahanin one last time, his mouth moving in slow motion. "Go home Artemis."he said with a smile, the blinding world around me crumbling as I felt arc energy pull me. It was like I was surfacing from water, taking in a large inhale, then smaller gasps as I tried to regain breathing regulation. I saw hades float above my head, squinting to see him clearly due to my pounding head. [i]what the?...[/i]I mused, lolling my head to the side, eyes landing on the titan. "Wade?"
