Eric could see Kat from where he was but he couldnâ€™t do anything for her, he had started to cough uncontrollably after they sedated Kat. He didnâ€™t remember ever feeling this way before after a fight, normally he was sore yes but that only lasted a few days, weeks tops. This was different, someone must have had given him something as they fought. A flashback to the fight told him there was only one incidence where someone could have done something and that was when he was punched in the solar plexus. Whipping the thought out of his mind he felt the prick of a needle and inhaled through his teeth as he felt the effects take hold and drift him off to the black pool that waited.<br/><br/>Samantha worked hard on Kat whereas before she had glared at Dr. Zack for his idiocy. Then again she had mentally punched herself for her own form of it. Never do you talk about the severity of the injury when the patient is conscious and able to move. It will only worry them and possibly cause more injury. She would have to work on that.<br/><br/>Whipping a brow with her forearm she began her work once more. First she would have to make sure to isolate the broken areas marked off with special ink. Then she would have to get her butt in gear and knuckle down and finish this so Kat can get up and about as quickly as possible. She happened to glance over at Eric, he was now covered in as much blood as Kat had been when she was brought in. If he didnâ€™t make it she would raise hell. He wasnâ€™t as injured as Kat was but if they messed up just once, it would end it for him. Taking her mind off of her team she worked harder at fixing Kat.<br/><br/>A few times he was sure he had woken and they had put him back under. It seemed like an eternity when he heard someone calling his name. The blackness that engulfed his consciousness, it seemed impossible to get out from under but he felt like he was starting to float up. His first instinct was to the bright light that bombarded his eyes were to try and go back to the blackness once more. The medication they were pumping him prevented that from happening, much to his disappointment. A woman was standing next to him looking over a chart. Still groggy he said, â€œwhereâ€™s Kat, is Kat alright?â€<br/><br/>The nurse looked up and smiled, â€œlook whoâ€™s up.â€<br/><br/>Eric was not amused and snapped, â€œme, now could you tell me whatâ€™s happened to Kat.â€<br/><br/>The nurse frowned and shook her head. â€œSorry thatâ€™s not my department.â€ Closing his file she walked over to a machine that told her everything about what was going on. She smirked when she looked down at him and then her eyes drifted downward. Confused Eric followed her eyes and then blushed. She giggled and walked out.<br/><br/>Still blushing Eric looked around the room. There was no one else there but he could hear a commotion next door. He wanted to look but it was blocked off and he couldnâ€™t see anything. Irritated he threw the covers back and got out of bed freezing in place for a moment. No pain racked his body, not even a little ache. How long had he been in the medical ward? Holding the thought when he saw Samantha walk in. â€œOh, hello Eric how are you feeling?â€ she asked taking the nurses place in looking at his chart and the monitor.<br/><br/>He sat with his mouth about ready to tell her when she said, â€œI wouldnâ€™t worry about Kat, sheâ€™s tough and sheâ€™ll be up and about before you know it.â€<br/><br/>Closing his jaw Eric smiled and asked, â€œHow long have we been here?â€ Dr. Samantha looked at him with a confused look.<br/><br/>â€œYouâ€™ve been here overnight, I would have thought you of all people would know how well our medical machines worked. After all you were the one who helped build and fix them.â€ She said setting his chart down on the bed. â€œif you like you could see Kat, sheâ€™s in the next room.â€<br/><br/>Beaming he got up and opened the door to the next room, peaking in just in case Kat was sleeping. As if knowing what he was thinking Samantha said, â€œyou can go right in, she wonâ€™t mind Iâ€™m sure.â€
