HELLO GUYS HERES ANOTHER CHAPTER! I OWN NOTHING....NOT EVEN THAT RANDOM BOX OVER THEIR *PANS LEFT TO RANDOM CARD BOARD BOX IN ALLYWAY*
I knocked on the door but didn't wait for an answer before barging in.
"Hello beautiful miss me?" I asked walking in. The hospital room was quite small. It had a bed, some machines I've never seen before. A few dressers on either side of the bed doubling as night stands. Their was some dessert flowers in a jar on a dresser and the walls were metal, not your typical hospital room. Then again Spargus isn't your typical city.
"Jackie?" Christa asked from the bed she slowly sat up. She was still bandaged up and looked like shit quite frankly.
"Hey girly, how ya feeling?" I asked sitting on the floor at the side of her bed.
"I've been better, but how is it you don't have so much as a scratch on you?" She asked looking me over.
"I've got powers remember?" I said wiggling my fingers at her.
"And super regeneration is one of them? Thats fucking awesome! I wish I had that power right about now." She said then sighed.
"Yeah....so let me see your wounds." I said interested on seeing how I would look without my green healing powers.
"Um okay but be careful, this shit still hurts." She agreed hesitantly. I slowly and very carefully peeled back the bandages around her wrists. I felt a cold chill go down my spin. It was the chill you got when you saw something and just knew it had to hurt.
Her skin was red and had scabs all over the place. Some places were worse then others. As I looked over her wounds I felt something stir inside of me. Slowly I inched my hand towards her exposed injuries. I started to pant and my vision became green. My fingers lightly brushed against her arm and a green glow engulf my fingers.
"Holy shit! Is this part of your green powers too?" Christa asked me wide eyed looking down at my glowing fingers. The wounds started to heal at my touch. I continued to let my power wash over her in waves. I didn't need to see under her bandages to know she was being heal because I could feel it. I could feel or sense every wound on her body, the amount was over whelming. I had to control myself so I wouldn't just pump her full of green eco. Even if green eco is the safest eco to be around, it still can kill you if your around it too much. That is, if your not a sage or channeler.
"Shhhh..." I put my finger to my lips. "You might scare it away." I said in a whisper as I watched my fingers glow and memorized the feeling of using my green powers. It felt, minty in a way. It was a cool, but strong feeling that left the smell of mint in the air. Just like it did when I would breath green eco, strange. I focused on her wounds seeking out each one and healing it, retreating for a brief minute then going back and doing it again. It was slow progress, especially since she didn't heal as fast as I was able to.
It seemed like forever that I was standing their touching her untill I patched up the last of her wounds. Some of her skin was still raw but I numbed the pain to help her.
"Done!" I proclaimed happily before I staggered a bit. I wobbly got down onto my knees and rested my arms and head on top of them.
"Are you okay?" Christa asked worry thick in her voice. I nodded my head several times slowly. "Are you sure? You look drained!" She said.
"Yeah!" I snapped. I looked up and saw her sad face, it was the equivalent of the face a puppy gives you when you kick it."Sorry.......how do you feel?" I asked.
"Oh, I feel amazing! Thank you so much! The medic said I was going to be in here for another week! Now I'll be able to go home possibly tomorrow!" She said rapidly un raping her bandages." Now I owe you double!"
"Speaking of owing, you mind giving me a couple of jobs to do here and there?" I asked
"Sure I can have you escort me out side the city or help out at the leaper pens. They always need cleaning, watering and feeding." She said.
"High maintenance pets huh?"
"Yes but they are pretty intelligent! The pens are right by the city gates you can't miss it!" She said happily.
"Alright when ever I have free time I'll swing by. I got to go now, see you later." I said waving at her as I walked off.
"Bye! Hope to see you soon Jackie!" She called as I left I walked down the metal hall to the main entrance and left. It was somewhere around 4 or so. I walking home and decided that tonight we would have fish.
It wouldn't be anywhere near as good as Brutter's but hey you gotta do with what you gotta do. I took out the fish and cleaned them. I made a simple flour based batter and made some French fries by baking wedged potatoes and seasoning them.
While everything cooked I sweep and wiped down the house. It was like I was in a never ending war with the dessert. No matter how many times I swept or wiped down something their would always be a thin layer of sand everywhere.
When the food was done I set it out to cool since the boys still weren't back. When the food had cooled I made out plates and set the table up. I sat in my spot at the table and waited until the boys walked in the door.
"Hey guys, took you long enough!" I said perking up.
"Yeah, we ran into problems in the arena. "Daxter said hopping off Jak onto the chair. He immediately started to stuff his face.
"I know, so how's Sig doing?"
"He's fine. Still his usual self only now he doesn't look so out of place." Jak said easing in to his chair.
"Yeah? That's good. So.....Ashelin?" I said eyeing his Jet Board.
"Oh, yeah we met her at the oasis in the dessert." He said.
"I know, she gave you the Jet Board and your seal back. Wanna talk about anything?" I asked knowing he was still a little pissed at Haven City.
"So it's true." Jak said taking a bite out of the fish. He was looking at me with widened eyes.
"What's true?" I asked confused.
"About you being some sort of psychic! Me and Jak have been thinking about that since the arena." Daxter said with his mouth full. 'Shit....that's right I did say that to get them off my case......oh well it's still convenient.'
"Oh yeah, it's true." I said.
"So....how do you do it?" Jak asked
"Well it happens when I zone out sometimes. I see things that are supposed to happen."
"Wait...how the hell do you know they're supposed!" Daxter interrupted me.
"Because I see what happens if it doesn't. Anyways, I can tweak with it subtly but if I mess with it to much bad shit happens." I said it was partly true, if I did mess with the games plot too much shit would go horribly wrong. Thats why I was hardly involved so far. But, I've learned that I can metal in the affairs of the game plot and get away with it.
"Sounds difficult." Jak admitted looking away.
"It can be, if you see something awful that will happen if you or someone doesn't succeed. But I've gotten used to it." I said digging into my own food. 'Is something burning?....sniff sniff oh wait that's just my pants. You know, cause I'm a liar!'
"So anything you wanna tell us?"
"Have a nice ride tomorrow." I said with a smirk.
"That's it! Ahhh come on tell us something interesting!" Daxter demanded.
"Daxter I don't think she can or that it would be a good idea." Jak said scolding Daxter.
"No it's alright. Daxter, your going to be crush in a explosion." I said simply then took a sip of water.
"WHAT!! IM GONNA DIE!" Daxter started to panic and choked on his food. I reached over and patted his back until he stopped.
"No...I didn't say you were going to die. Just that your going to be crushed. There is a big difference." I said sagely before placing my plate in the sink then going to my room.
"Yeah, difference my tail!" Daxter shouted at me. I rolled my eyes then thought of Jak and Daxter's ride in the catacombs. Their was only one car and had only one seat. That meant I couldn't get into Haven City with them until they come back.
"Guys, don't bother waking me up tomorrow. I'm really tired and I think I'm going to take a day off." I said before shutting my door and getting in bed. 'Well, then. That went smoothly. Lamely but smoothly.' I sighed rolling over to my side. 'Maybe I'll do some work with Christa or Kleiver. Or I could take a personal day and go messing around in the Tough Puppy!' I speculated.
I feel asleep and dreamed once again of me sitting and watching the eco move around in the darkness. Once again my brother sat beside me. We didn't talk of anything important just reminisced. But I did notice that the green had grown stronger.
