8 Awakening

I open my eyes and try to sit up just for my mother to place her hand on my chest, for me to lie down. "You need rest." I smile and lean back and take a deep breath. Inhale something only the world can give me. The covers are soft and warm. The room has an odd aroma like most hospital rooms. The sounds are somewhat soothing and calming.

"It's good to be back." I say as I close my eyes. "I can't believe I did that. I shouldn't have. I left you. For that I am so sorry." They laugh at me. "I sound just like I did after my accident, don't I?" They all nod. I move my covers off my body and sit up. "Thank you for leading me." I say as I place my hand on the man's hand. "I would stay but I am needed. For the world Andrew has to die."

"Oh no, no, no, no, no." Jemina and Jimch said, taking my arms. "You have to rest now and sit back down."

"We don't have long. I saw it all. Andrew needs to go for the world to continue." I look at them, but they don't let go of me. They drag me back over to my bed and force me to lay down. "You don't understand what is at stake. If I don't do this then he will take everything." I start to cry, and my mum holds me in her caring arms.

"We will be there for you. As long as we are together then he can't hurt us."

"He won't hurt us." I look up at her face. "He will break us. You need to let me go and do what I have to do. I'm the goddess of the multiverse that can see visions of what will happen. Andrew taking the world for himself sadly is one that is true. One that will happen. He has to die." I try and break free of her hug. "Even Thor said so."

"Thor as in the Norse god of thunder?" Ashêanna said laughing her socks off. "You are mad. Thor is just a character that Marvel made up based on the Greek gods. You read too many superhero comics and watch too many of the movies. More importantly you believe that they are true." I try to strangle her.

"I am serious. I met Thor up there." I said pointing up in the sky. "He is real. I'm a god so why can't you believe that they exist too." Mum releases me from her grasp. I stand up and walk over to Ashêanna and pick her up. "You are helping him." I bring her closer to my face and she tries to turn away, but I keep her face on mine. "I saw you. I can't trust you. Andrew nearly killed me because you made sure that I couldn't go anywhere. You helped him." I throw her into the wall then walk over to the door and walk down the hall.

As I walk down the hall many people try and grab me just for me to dodge out of the way. "Don't even try." I laugh as I turn around and look at the many doctors trying to get me as I (nearly) fly down the hall. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my back and my legs gave way and I fell down on the ground. How dare they drug me. I am just trying to save everyone from Andrew's terror.

The next time I wake up my family don't look happy at me like there were before. They were angry. I go sit up to find that there is something holding my hands and my feet down. "You restrained me! Why? I haven't done anything." I say while mentally swearing to myself for my stupidity – it was going to happen one time or another.

"You are dangerous in this state. You know that. You were the one that told us this. 'The need of the many over the need of the few' remember that quote."

"Star Trek." I say rolling my eyes and give up trying to get free. High chances that it won't be happening. "Come on this time I promise that I won't try and escape. It's just that the world needs me. I was sent back for a reason and keeping me here is going to get us all killed. I'm the only one that can stop him. You know that." Everyone just shakes their heads and leaves the room. I sigh as I try again to escape. I mean cuffs were no problem why should these be so hard.

A little while later and a man in a cloak comes into the room. He is followed by yet another man in a cloak. They come to either side of my bed and start to chat. I just lay there (not that I have much choice) and let them talk. I want to know everything that they are saying.

"So, how is the plan going?" The first man said, leaning towards the second man.

"It is going very well John." The second one replied to the man named John. "But shouldn't we be doing this in another room? This one is occupied." He pointed down at me. John looks down at my unmoving body. I pretend to be asleep so he will (hopefully) continue.

"Stew, she is asleep. Even if she wasn't, I don't think she would be going anywhere." He said pointing to my restraints. "Anyway. Does Andrew have the stuff now." Stew looks at him confused. "You know the stuff for Atchaco?" Stew nods his head and leaves the room. John bends down beside my bed and shakes my body. "I will let you go if you promise not to tell Atchaco Cornwall." I moan and stir before finally choosing to speak.

"Yeah, I promise. Just let me out of these restraints." I say before closing my eyes. He whispers that he is happy and is about to loosen the restraints when a doctor barges in the room. He comes over to my bedside and takes the man off of me before retightening the restraints.

"What were you doing? We kept her in restraints for a reason." The doctor shouted at him.

"What did it look like I was doing. I was helping her help everyone else. She said the world is in danger and that she is the only one that can save it. So, I was going to let her save it. Is that not okay with you guys or do you not mind having no world to live on." The doctor doesn't reply to his smart remark as my mother would call it. John laughs at him and bends down to release me when the doctor grabs his hand.

"We can't let you do that. In this state she is very dangerous and powerful behind anyone's understanding. If we let her go everyone that we know is in jeopardy for she will kill anyone that will try and stop her from killing Andrew Einstein. So, I would advise against doing that if you really value your life." John looks down at me and then back at the doctor who leaves the room once he is satisfied that John won't let me go.

John bends down in front of my bed and looks into my eyes. My pleading eyes. Wanting him to let me free. "Sorry, I would do it but what the doctor said about valuing my life made me change my mind. But if you tell Atchaco which I doubt then I will hunt you down and kill you. Have you got that."

"Yes. I promise that I won't tell Atchaco." I say smiling under my covers and he leaves the room, satisfied with my answer. I try to get out of my restraints again this time doing what Thor did when he was in my situation but failed miserably as they have been tightened to the extent where it is not possible for me to get out off them by myself. I sigh as I move my head to look out the window at a forest and the many animals and birds that live in it.

I don't know how long had passed when a tall, muscular man came into my room. I can't see his face, but I can tell that he has long hair, long blond hair. "Lady Maz. Is that you?" I nod my head and they come closer. I am scared as I have no idea who is standing there. "Don't be scared. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm one of the good guys." I still look scared at them. I dart my eyes about looking at anything I can hurt him with, not that I could use it. "Do you not remember me. It's Thor." I smile at him.

"Hi Thor. How are you doing? Got a mortal body I see." I say using my finger to indicate to his body.

"Nope. I am down here to help you. All I'm doing is looking over you and making sure you can get to where you need to be." He bends down and frees me. I sit up and use Thor's body to level myself up just for me to fall back down again. "You okay." He says picking me up

"Yeah. Just a little weak. Haven't been able to properly move for some time." I say as he runs down the hallway. I placed my head on his shoulder and started to strike it. He looks down at me and smiles.

"Come on let's get you someplace safe." He says as he runs outside the building. He looks around and realises that we are in big trouble. "We. Are. Doomed."
