Chapter 22: Awakening
Blue: Ahhhhh! I'm so bored!
???: Want to talk?
Blue:....I forgot you were here
???: I'm not surprised, I expected you to go insane at this. So what do you want to talk about?
Blue: Well.....I was wondering if you can explain your Lore?
???: I guess I can, I am like a....second mind to you. When you were made, you were built with many abilities like....well, I can't seem to remember just like you. But I'm basically a second person added to you
Blue: Why am I only talking to you now?
???: I'm mostly a background character, once you wake up, I'll be irrelevant until the plot demands me to come back
Blue: Damn that's sad.
???: It is what it is. But back onto topic, whenever you show.....great displays of IQ, It's usually because you have two minds overthinking, and they will end up making the final decision.
Blue: Oh so that's why I end up doing the things I do. Because my mind and yours work together
???: Yeah, the CORE people wanted to boost your intelligence, which is why I exist. But sadly, we're an idiot
Blue: Yes we are, but we ball either way.
???: Indeed we do

[3 Months Later]
Hmmmm......who's death is sadder? Lee? Or Arthur Morgan?
???: What do you think?
Blue: Lee of course!
???: Have you even played Red Dead 2?
Blue: No, but I've seen the death scene. It's sad yeah......but Lee man....he didn't deserve that. He is the reason that Clementine is alive and the way she is now
???: Good point......
Blue: Hey so you don't have a name still, so how about we think of something-?
I stop talking because I heard a sound...like a cracking glass sound....
Blue: You....heard that right?
???: I did, I think it's time
Blue: Time? Time for what?
More cracking sounds started to occur around me, and it felt as if the space around me was breaking apart.....
And that seemed to be the case when the void turned to a bright white colour, parts of it was morphed into a solid state, then it began to fall down.
Blue: W-What is happening?!
???: You're going to wake up
Blue: Wake up?! Finally! But why is it like this?
???: Who knows? I don't have the answer.
Blue: You usually do!
???: Not today!

3rd POV
_____________
Chris: What's happening to him?
Helena: His heart rate has spiked!
Chris: Is that a bad thing?
Helena: I-I don't think so, his body is becoming responsive. I think he is going to wake up!
Chris: That's....that's big! I've got to call Ethan!
Chris immediately calls Ethan and lets him know about the news. Once he heard that his brother could wake up, he gets Mia, Rose and Elena ready while Chris sends Jake to pick them up.
Helena keeps monitoring Blue, and about a few minutes before Ethan arrives at the base.....Blue's mind turns on.
Blue: Where....where am I?
As Blue slowly regained his consciousness, the world around him felt unfamiliar, like waking up in a dream. The sounds around him seemed distant, muffled by the fog of his mind, but gradually they sharpened into clarity.
Opening his eyes, he blinked against the harsh ceiling light from the....hospital room?
Where was he? And why was he here?
Memories trickled back, disjointed and fragmented. How long had he been asleep? His limbs felt heavy, as if they belonged to someone else. With each passing moment, the reality of his situation settled in: he had woken up from his coma.
As the haze cleared, a mix of emotions flooded his heart....confusion, relief, and a profound sense of uncertainty about what lay ahead. But as his vision cleared up, he could see that someone was standing by his side.
Guy: Hey you, you're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right?
Blue: Oh God, I'm the Dragonborn!
[ C U T ]
Helena: Hey there sleepy head
Blue: H......Helena?
Helena: Yes, it's me. You.....you're awake now. Don't get up, relax, you were in a coma.
Blue: Y-Yeah...I remember, how....how long has it been?
Helena: About.....five months?
Blue: F...Five?
Helena: Yes, which is lucky. You could've been out for much longer. It's great to have you back, how are you feeling?
Blue: Tired.....really tired
Helena: No pain at all?
Blue: Nope....I am hungry through
Helena: I'll see what we have, you just wait here, okay? No moving.
Blue: O-Okay....
Helena pats Blue on the head and leaves the room. The awakened boy begins to think about how he was out for five months, and sighed in relief knowing that he can slowly get back into a somewhat normal life.
He thinks about how everyone must've missed him, especially Ethan and Mia. He tries to sit up but found it really hard to when moving.
Actually he can barely move at all.
Blue: God damn it!
Blue lies back and decided to wait, and when he did, the door opens. Blue expected to see Helena, but instead, it was....his Brother....Ethan Winters.
Ethan:.......
Blue:.......
Ethan:.......
Blue:........How ya doing?
Ethan: I'm....good, what about you?
Blue: Tired, hungry.....happy
Ethan: Yeah....I can see
Ethan walks over to Blue and sits down on a chair next to his bed. For a few seconds he just sits there before engulfing Blue in a tight hug.
Blue: E-Ethan?
Ethan: Don't you ever fucking worry me like that again!
Blue: O-Okay, just uhh....can you let go?
Ethan: Sorry, It's not been as lively at home since then. We've all missed you
Blue: I imagine, is Mia here?
Mia: What do you think?
Mia was now present in the room, with an almost 2 year old Rose. Standing beside her was Elena, the woman Blue saved during the events of Village.
Blue: M-Mia!
Mia: Hello Blue, it's a good thing you're awake
Blue: Yeah....is that Rose?
Mia: Yes, she is turning 2 next month.
Blue: Wow, that's good. Who is that?
Elena: [Giggles] I know we met once only, so I'll forgive you for forgetting me.
Blue: You do look familiar...hold up, wait a minute...El....Elena?
Elena: You do remember me!
Blue: Y-Yeah, I remember saving you....but how?
Elena: You had to kill my Father
Blue: O....Oh! M-My bad
Elena: It's okay, you had to do it. He wasn't himself at that moment
Helena: Blue, I'm back with your wake up meal-! Oh, Mia
Mia: Hey Helena, I'll take that off you. We're going to be sitting here for a bit
Helena: I imagine so. Here.
Mia gives Rose to Ethan as she takes a plate of ice cream from Helena, something Blue was looking forward to eating. But as Mia sits next to Blue, he realised that he wasn't going to eat himself.
Mia: Blue, open your mouth
Blue: I can eat myself, Mia. It's fine
Mia: Blue....you cannot move properly, and you just woke up....so open your mouth, now.
Blue: But-!
Mia: Blue!
Blue: Fiiiiiiine
Blue reluctantly opens his mouth as Mia spoon feeds him the ice cream, he had a grumpy face because of his pride as a man. But to everyone else, he was more of a boy.
Elena: Don't be too upset, Blue. You just woke up
Blue: I know, but my arms aren't that bad right now!
Mia: Well you're going to deal with it!
Blue: Ethan!
Ethan: Sorry Blue, you're on your own
Blue: Ahhhh!
Rose: Dada...angy
Ethan: Yes Rose, your uncle, Blue is not happy with your Mama
Blue: Does Rose recognise me still? Or did the 5 months of absence really do something to her memory?
Ethan: I'm not sure, we'll have to see later. We're going to be outside for a bit
Blue: Are you going home?
Ethan: Nah, we're just going to be outside the room Someone wants to see you.
Blue: Someone? Who is it?
Mia: You'll see
Everyone leaves and Blue was left by himself for a moment, but then the door opens again....and in steps a girl around his age. He recognises her, but the only problem is....he didn't know why she looks like......this.
(Best image I could find)
Blue: E-Eveline?
Eveline: Hello....B-Blue....
Blue: You uhh....you've grown...
Eveline: I don't look like a little girl anymore
Blue: Still sound like one
Eveline: Tch, yeah, I can change my looks but I can't change the voice.
Blue: You're still going to have age normally for that to change.
Eveline: Sadly.....
Blue:.....So do you mind explaining how you're out here in the real world?
Eveline: It happened a month ago, I was in Ethan's head, but we had this idea to take me out of his mind.
Blue: I can see that it worked, how though?
Eveline: [Smiles] Trial and Error
Blue: Oh I'm so proud of you
Eveline: I know you are.
Blue managed to find the strength to sit up, but he couldn't leave the bed just yet, he might have to wait a few more days.
Blue: So you just did whatever yeah?
Eveline: Like I said, Trial and Error.
Blue: Nice. So uhh....how's life been? With your new.....lifestyle?
Eveline: Oh it's been great, being able to move around is nice but life hasn't been the same
Blue: What do you mean by that?
Eveline goes over to Blue and gives him a massive hug, he didn't expect this from her, especially since this is their first official hug.
Eveline: I-I hate to admit it....but I missed you....life was not the same without you
Blue: I....wow, you....really did miss me.
Eveline: I blame you! Not only was I stuck in your head, but you...treated me like a friend. You effected me in a way that no one else has before
Blue: Well we all know I'm not a bad person. So why should I disregard you?
Eveline: You had every reason to...but you didn't
Blue: I can't hate you, Eveline. You were just misguided by yourself, now can you let go? I think my oxygen supply is leaving me.
Eveline: [Blushes] O-Oh s-sorry...
Blue: Haha, it's okay. Anyways, are you going to be staying for a bit longer?
Eveline: Well, I can stay for a bit, so that I can explain what has happened in the last five months.
Blue: Oh yeah, I still need to know all that. Has Dragon Ball Sparking Zero come out yet?
Eveline: No
Blue: Ah damn it
Eveline: But uhh.....Akira Toriyama has passed away
Blue: No.....no...you're joking right?
Eveline: I'm not, that's your job
Blue: NOOOOOOOO-!
__________________
After Blue's mental breakdown, Eveline comforts him and explains the events that occured in the past few months while he was in a coma.
Blue was interested and happy to hear that everyone else was okay, he was also reminded that he is in a relationship with Donna Beneviento.
Soon, Eveline had to leave with Ethan and the others, and Blue was being monitored by Helena and Helena only. The others weren't allowed to see Blue just yet as his head was still a bit fuzzy.
And because Helena is the best at medical work, only she can help him at the moment. She also helped him with the movement of his body in the form of rehab, she knew someone that had a similar problem, but unlike them, Blue was recovering quickly.
Helena: How does it feel?
Blue: It....feels weird, but I think that understanding of how my body works is coming back
Helena: That's good, now just take a few more steps forward. You can still hold onto me if you want
Blue: Yeah, I don't think I can walk on my own still.
Helena guides Blue into a straight line, and he was feeling more comfortable with his movements. But then his strength gives way as he falls to the ground, Helena falls with him since she had a tight grip on his arm.
Blue: O-Ow
Helena: A-Are you okay?
Blue: Yeah....
Blue had fallen on his back, and Helena lands on top of him. Her eyes open and she realised what their positions were, a red blush appearing on her face due to how suggestive it looked.
Helena: U-Umm uhh
Blue:....A-Are you okay? Your face is red
Helena: I-I am fine, don't worry. Come, let me help you up
Helena helps Blue up, and they continue with his rehab. A week then passes, and shocking results were shown as Blue was able to walk perfectly fine. His movements weren't completely perfect as there was still this sense of being uncomfortable at times.
But Blue believes he will be completely fine in another week.

Blue's POV
_______________
Today, everyone was coming to see me. The team, Alcina and her daughters, Heisenberg and my....girlfriend, Donna Beneviento.
I'm still shocked that I have one, I don't know what to do in a relationship!
Ethan: Blue?
Blue: Oh, hey Ethan
Ethan: Hey, you good? You were spacing out for a moment
Blue: Yeah just uhh....well I'm going to be seeing everyone, and this is like the.....new me.
Ethan: Oh yeah, I guess it is. So uhh Eveline told me everything about your past....I didn't think it would be like that
Blue: Don't worry, I didn't know as well
Ethan: Yeah, but you feeling good after knowing all of that?
Blue: You're still my Brother, right?
Ethan: Of course I am
Blue: Then there is no problem.
Ethan: Glad you're okay. Come on, let's go and meet the others
Blue: Bet
Myself and Ethan leave the medical bay, and enter the main lobby room where everyone was waiting for....me. It almost makes me feel special.
Mia: Good Morning, Blue. You seem happy today
Blue: That might have to do with the fact that I can feel my legs again
Elena: How are they?
Blue: They're good, I almost feel like myself again.
Eveline: Almost?
Blue: I can't do everything just yet
Eveline: Oh, well give it time. You've got your....thing
Blue: Ah yes, the ting
Chris: What thing?
Blue&Eveline: The ting
Chris: [Sighs] Children
Leon: So, you're finally awake
Blue: Before you ask, yes I was trying to cross the border
Leon: Alongside that thief?
Blue: If you're talking about yourself, then yeah
Leon:....Fair play
Ethan: So, where is everyone?
Leon: Well no one is coming at the same exact time. But they will be over soon, like Blue's girl-
Donna: Blue! [Hugs Blue Tightly]
Leon:.....Friend
Angie: Jealous that Asian girl doesn't show you that same affection?
Leon: Shut it you!
Blue: H-Hey Donna I uhhh...it's been a while
Donna: It has, I've missed you. I would kiss you but I feel like we need to talk about our relationship a bit more
Blue: Oh yeah, w-we didn't really get to discuss too much.
Angie: Well, now you will.
Blue: Oh, hey. Thought you died
Angie: W-What?!
Eveline: I told you, Angie. First thing he will say to you...will annoy you
Angie: I.....I hate him so much
Eveline: So did I, but you'll eventually get used to him
Jill: We already know you are
Eveline: Oh....hey Jill. What do you mean by that?
Claire: You know what she means, Eveline
Eveline: N-No, I don't know what you're talking about
Blue: Yeah, what is the message here?
Jill: Nothing Blue, the message is that it's nice to know you're okay
Blue: That's....not a message
Jill: It is to me
Claire: Are you okay now?
Blue: Mostly, I might have to rest a bit more
Mia: Make sure you do get your rest, because rest is important. Right Rosey?
Rose: Ya
Mia: Yeah!
Ethan: Haha, anyways. Blue, you should know by now that you can't go onto missions for a while
Blue: I'm sorry.....but what?
Mia: Ethan is right, Blue. You are getting your full rest
Eveline: And we are reminding you because we all know that you would still go
Blue: Good point, but I'm sure that Chris would let me-!
Chris: No
Blue: Dammit!
