As I ca too, my head was spinning and my mouth was drier than a desert.
Waking up in floating hospital beds was becoming a habit that I was hoping to break in the future, it wasn't a fun experience in the slightest.
"You're awake!" A voice from my bedside gasped, it was Fal the Lyrin.
I lolled my head over to the side to look at her and gave the lizard girl my best attempt at a smile, though I had no idea how the expression translated through whatever cocktail of drugs the doctors had on.
"Hey Fal," I croaked, "Nice to see a friendly face, nice to see you're okay."
"You're one to talk!" She laughed, her eyes glowed with the yellow of happiness. "We all thought you were never going to wake up after the first couple of days. Comas aren't exactly a thing that happen very often, you know."
I'd been in a coma?
I cast my mind back, bits and pieces ca back slowly. A jumbled up ss.
I rembered the fight with the remnant, and I rembered talking to BB just about. He told that I'd managed to unleash my true power, sohow. A primal force of the universe itself. That if I did it again before I was ready I'd wipe myself out in a colossal explosion.
Probably not best to tempt fate, then.
"Needed to repair," I rasped, "Used way too much power, nearly burnt myself out. That wouldn't have been good."
A look of worry passed over Fal's face, but it was gone within a mont.
"Can I get so water?" I said, my mouth still bone dry. "Feels like I've been licking a beach for the past week."
"Uh Yeah, sure," Fal replied, shooting a small smile, "I'll be right back."
Idly I wondered where I was.
Had I been taken back up to my ship, was this the dbay? Or was I in so kind of hospital down on the surface of the world, with everyone securely moved into their hos.
There was a lot I could have missed.
BB muttered from sowhere in the back of my skull,
I had very purposefully not looked at that little flashing icon at the bottom right of my vision.
I had decided to put it out of my mind completely.
There was sothing ominous about the way it was blinking, sothing that made want to just ignore it forever.
I glanced down at the spiderweb cracks under my feet.
Okay, I wasn't going to be able to ignore it, then.
I flicked my eye over to the notification to bring it up and had to suppress a maniacal chuckle.
{Alert! Limiters are now back online at 99.7% total efficiency! Power bleed of 0.03% is not fixable, but is within accepted paraters!}
When I'd knocked the walls of my limiters down I'd damaged them irriparably in so ways. This was the result. A tiny little bleed of power, trickling through into my body.
It wasn't much.
It was nowhere near as much as I had displayed against the Remnant.
But it was enough to be noticeable.
I was going to have to be careful.
