"Alex…"
"Alex, wake up!"
Alex groaned softly, the commotion around him interrupting his sleep. However, as the voice and the surrounding noise continued unabated, he gradually opened his eyes.
He stared at the faces above him and wondered why they were so close. He then turned his head to look around, noticing the blue and red lights, people in tech suits carrying weapons, the devastated area, and the night sky.
Suddenly, memories of what happened earlier came back, allowing him to understand his situation better.
'I lost, huh?' he realised. It wasn't particularly surprising, as he was weaker than that Max Osbourne chap.
"Hey, are you alright?" Ross asked again, watching as Alex turned to them.
Julia and Olivia were present as well, also staring at him with concern etched on their faces.
"Yeah… yeah, I'm fine." He slowly sat up from what appeared to be an ambulance stretcher. Feeling a bit of pain coming from the back of his neck, he placed his right hand there to check.
