"ACC live..."
"Shit! What's wrong with the TV? Nurse! Nurse!" An elderly man shouted as he stared with an irritated expression at the only TV in the double room of the ward where he was.
This man was lying on one of the two stretchers in this room, next to the entrance door of this 30 square meter area, where in the right corner, there was a beautiful view of the city center through the side windows.
The door to the private bathroom in this room was next to the 43'' TV in the middle of the wall in front of the stretchers, while a small curtain separated the area of bed 1 and bed 2.
On the bed next to the windows of this room was an unconscious young man who showed signs of waking up, with his eyes moving significantly.
In the chair next to his bed was a sleeping woman, too tired to care about the old man, who was yelling angrily about the sudden malfunction of the television.
"Mr. Clark, is something wrong?" A well-dressed nurse appeared in the doorway of this room and asked.
"The damn TV is broken!" The old man, who looked to be in his 70s, shouted as he pointed at the television, which was changing channels without him doing anything.
He wanted to watch the afternoon news, but strangely, it didn't seem to want to cooperate.
"It's changing channels for no reason. Get someone to fix it." He pointed out the problem as the slightly overweight woman dressed as a nurse approached to check the TV.
The channels kept changing as she tested the controls on the set.
"That's weird..." She muttered as she took the batteries out of the remote and then put them back in, seeing that it wasn't the remote that was the problem.
"Mr. Clark, I'll check with the tech department and have someone take a look at your TV." She gave up after a few tries.
The old man sighed as he made an ugly expression, feeling he would have to spend the rest of the day with nothing to do.
'This damn hospital doesn't care about any of its patients...'
As he was thinking this and the nurse was getting ready to go back to her work, the young man on the other stretcher opened his eyes and screamed.
"Where am I?"
The nurse rushed to the side of the stretcher of the young man with blond hair, a slight build, crooked teeth, and an average appearance who had arrived at this place two days ago.
He had been unconscious since then, although his tests had shown no worrying problems, which was strange and justified his stay here.
"Mr. Small, calm down. You're in the Principal Medical Center. Your sister brought you here two days ago after you had an accident at your school." She said as she used some equipment to check Zac's condition.
Zac Small's eyes narrowed as he looked at this woman with tanned skin and good looks despite her overweight. "What?" He tried to remember how he had gotten to this place, but his memory was a little fuzzy.
As he tried to recall that day, he felt a sudden twinge in his left eye, a pain spreading across his face that would make an ordinary person scream.
He was used to a level of pain slightly above what ordinary people were used to and only showed discomfort in his expression.
His heartbeat quickened, causing the nurse to sense something was wrong and call the doctor on duty.
In the midst of this, the woman, who could not have been more than 25 years old, who was lying in an armchair next to Zac's stretcher, woke up.
"Zac?" Amy Small stood up when she saw her brother conscious, worried, of course, to see him already waking up in pain. "Zac, what are you feeling?" She asked worriedly.
Zac tried to speak but said nothing useful. Amid his words and the arrival of the doctor on duty, the old man on the other bed in the room continued to be irritated by the television that kept changing channels.
Amidst the nervousness of the doctor and the other two nurses who had entered the room, along with Amy's concerned look, Zac suddenly felt all the discomfort in his head disappear, and his expression softened.
While the doctor analyzed him with his instruments and experience, Zac looked at the beautiful blonde nurse who had just entered the room.
'Who is this beauty?' He saw the contours of this woman's body as the blood in his body began to swell a particular part of his body...
His eyes fluttered as he watched her until he suddenly saw what lay beneath the woman's three layers of clothing.
Gulp!
'What is this?' He was startled, of course, not knowing whether he was delirious with obscene thoughts or if he was actually seeing the beautiful woman naked in front of him.
He unconsciously tried to get up from his bed with a shocked look, but as he did so, a chubby middle-aged nurse stepped in front of the beautiful blonde.
Seeing what was underneath the other nurse's clothes, Zac vomited and fainted.
"Zac! Zac!" Amy called to him as tears streamed from her eyes.
"Sigh! Girl, calm down." The middle-aged doctor finally saw Zac's condition stabilizing and calmed down.
He hadn't understood anything that had just happened. The signals from Zac's body had seemed so confused a moment ago that he hadn't known what to do, even with his more than 30 years of medical experience.
Fortunately, the situation resolved itself!
"Your brother is not in any danger. He probably stirred a little when he woke up in a strange place, but he's fine. Let's wait for him to wake up so we can reassess his situation."
Meanwhile, the old man on the other stretcher had finally stopped complaining, his TV functioning normally again.
He didn't know what had happened, but he was happy that his only entertainment there was back to normal!
...
Later that day, Zac woke up from his fainting spell after seeing something he didn't want to see.
This time, he didn't faint but couldn't help but notice a strange situation when he woke up and tried to fiddle with his smartphone.
"What's going on?" He asked himself as he touched his smartphone and saw the screen go completely black.
When he took his hands away from the phone, it started working again, showing the time on its standby screen.
Meanwhile, the TV in the room suddenly changed channels, and the lights flickered annoyingly.
'What is wrong with me?' Zac wondered as he looked at his sister and saw Amy completely naked. 'What happened?'
He worried, trying not to look at Amy but also noticing that he had suddenly gained special powers.
