My words have been spoken

                                    

                                          
At first there was nothing. Nothing but darkness.
                          
Then there was a light. It was small and white. Then it began to grow. Athena was semi-conscious and her brain felt like mush as she looked into the growing light. There was no feeling in her hands, feet, or anything for that matter.
                          
Athena slowly blinked her eyes and saw nothing but a bit of grey and white blurs. As she slowly blinked, her vision cleared up just a little bit so that she was able to make out a figure of a few beings around her. Maybe humans. They grey blobs moved around her and one was holding a light above her eyes; switching eyes to shine the light in. She soon began to hear warbled talking around her and a constant beeping around herself as well as a mechanical breathing.
                          
"Wait, is that Vader's breathing?" Athena wondered.
                          
Her vision started to clear and she could make out the blobs were indeedly humans. They each wore a white coat with a red, white and a little bit of blue of a rectangle on their shoulders. Athena had to do a double-take as she could've sworn they were American flags.
                          
Athena let out a groan and the human that had been shining the light in her eyes began to snap their fingers in each ear of Athena's.
                          
"Can you hear me now? Come on, kid. Don't give up on us," the voice urged. Athena could tell it was male.
                          
"Wh-where am I?" Athena questioned.
                          
"Alright, you're talking. That's good. Nurse! Get me a wet washcloth! We have to bring her temperature down," the doctor in front of Athena called.
                          
Athena soon felt a mush of cool cloth come in contact with her forehead and she let out a sigh of relief through her nose. Athena soon took the cloth with her own hand and sat up completely with the cloth compressed on her head. Athena looked around and saw that she was in a plain white room with some medical equipment around her. She saw that an IV was attached to her left arm as a clear liquid filled the tube. She soon looked at herself and noticed she was in a blue hospital gown and a wire was attached to the left side of her chest. She followed the wire to a machine that had her heart rate recorded on the screen. Athena then felt that an airtube had been put into her nose and it lead to the wall where it was giving her oxygen.
                          
The doctor that had been shining the light in her eyes soon put a hand on Athena's shoulder.
                          
"Hey, relax. No one's going to hurt you. We're here to help,"
                          
Athena looked at the doctor. He was in his mid-forties and seemed concerned. He wore a tag with his picture on his coat with a code underneath it.
                          
"Where am I? What happened? Who are you? How long have I been asleep?" Athena quickly questioned.
                          
"Calm down. You're going to strain yourself," the doctor advised.
                          
"Then tell me what happened! Where am I?!" Athena demanded.
                          
"You're back on Earth under the protection of the United States government," a deep voice answered.
                          
Athena looked up and saw a man in a black suit and tie stand in the doorway. He had an American flag on his chest and a gun on his hip. He wore a comlink in his ear and his hair was black and shiny with a touch of grey. He had brown eyes and seemed to have no facial expression as he stood in the doorway.
                          
"Staff, you are dismissed," the man told and the doctor in front of Athena soon left as well as the four or five nurses that had been aiding her. The door shut behind them and the man stood alone near the door.
                          
Athena was on edge and clenched her fists, she questioned, "Why am I here? Who are you?"
                          
"I am agent K8-T. You are now within the protection of the United States of America. We were able to retrieve you from Lola Sayu and bring you back for your mission."
