"Aye can I get so help over here?!"
Mal appeared in the middle of the fanciest hospital he could find and imdiately cried out for help.
Doctors and nurses were stunned when, one of the most famous n in the world suddenly showed up shirtless and carrying a bloodied girl.
After getting over their surprise, they imdiately sprung into action and gingerly took lanie from his arms.
"Umm sir.. do you mind telling us what happened?" One of the nurses asked.
She was trying to do her job and remain professional, but it was extrely difficult since Mal had yet to cover up his body.
Malachi begrudgingly told the nurse that she was his friend who was being abused and he just so happened to co by in ti to save her.
He tended to keep his omniscience a secret, since he figured it would make people uncomfortable around him.
I an, who would like it if they knew it was virtually impossible to keep secrets from him?
During the night he could be everywhere and nowhere at the sa ti.
The nurse listened to his testimony and imdiately contacted police to arrest Derek.
Although Malachi was certain they would not find him, atleast not so easily.
He could currently see him loading up his car fervently and preparing to drive away.
"I'll deal with you later.." he muttered before taking a seat in the waiting room.
For now, nothing mattered more than making sure lanie was alright.
The nurse from before delivered him a spare shirt so he was no longer drawing the gazes of all of the nurses.
Although, the nurse who originally gave him the shirt was now getting hateful glares from her coworkers.
They wanted to keep enjoying the show damn it!
They got to see bodies all day long but none like this!
As Mal sat in the waiting room, he fought desperately to keep his eyes open.
He still hadn't recovered from his strenuous training earlier so teleporting twice and using his enhanced sight was really taking its toll.
'I can't rest.. not until I know she's okay.'
- 1 hour later
A nurse finally ca to get Malachi and took him into lanie's hospital room.
There he saw her sleeping blissfully with a tube in her mouth and bandages around her head.
"She's out of danger for now but she does appear to be comatose." The doctor said with a sorrowful expression.
Those words broke Malachi's heart as he stared absentmindedly at the girl he used to love.
"I'll.. give you so ti alone." The nurse exited from the room, closing the door behind her and leaving Mal alone with only his anguish.
Malachi stared at lanie motionlessly for a while before he moved beside her and took her hand.
"I'm sorry l. I should've stopped you back at the school but… truth be told I wanted to wash my hands of you." He said honestly.
No amount of words could adequately express the guilt he felt in this mont.
He knew lanie was hurting and being abused, yet he still averted his gaze.
Why? Because she hurt him.
Even though she'd apologized and even though he'd already moved on, he would never forget her betrayal.
How could he?
This was the first person he'd ever loved after all.
But that didn't an he should've ignored what was happening to her.
"This is all my fault.." Mal muttered.
Tears threatened to fall from his face but he did not allow them.
He didn't feel he deserved to cry.
lanie was the one in the hospital bed not him.
If she wasn't crying then he couldn't either.
Malachi lightly squeezed the hand of the sleeping girl and made a solemn vow.
"I hope whenever you wake up we can have a real chance at being friends, and not just hurt each other and apologize like we've been doing."
Responding to his desire, his blessing from the archangel activated on it's own.
Mal suddenly felt an enormous amount of energy leave his body.
Since he was already exhausted, that was all it took for him to go tumbling to the ground.
As Mal slipped into unconsciousness, a golden light left his body and entered lanie's forehead.
A shining gold mark appeared briefly before it vanished entirely.
- Four Days Later.
Sunlight stread through white open curtains down onto a nearby bed.
In it was a sleeping Malachi who looked to be having the most blissful dream of his life.
Suddenly, his eyes began to flutter open, only for him to imdiately shut them when he felt the blinding light from of the morning sun.
He released a loud dissatisfied groan when he realized he could not be in his own room.
He'd specifically ordered extra thick curtains to prevent this sort of uncomfortable awakening.
"Mal?"
Malachi opened his eyes and sat up on the bed when he realized he was not alone.
Only then did he notice he was in a very nice hospital room with Sei and Aubrey.
While Aubrey was still sleeping peacefully, Sei was now wide awake after hearing Malachi's groaning.
"Ah.. waking up to your face really is the best."
Malachi said as he stared dreamily at his attractive girlfriend.
Those words seed to send the woman over the edge and before Mal knew it, she was weeping furiously as she lept on top of him.
"I-I'm so glad you're okay!!"
"Hey, hey what's all this crying for?" Malachi asked as he wiped her tears.
"Y-you've been unconscious for four days!" Sei cried.
"Pardon?" Malachi asked in shock. "Don't you an four hours?"
"No!"
Malachi could do nothing but hold his weeping girlfriend in surprise.
He felt like he'd just had a really nice nap, but he'd actually been in a small coma.
"Brother!"
Aubrey was now awake and she too was crying all over Malachi.
"W-what happened to you? You had all of us so worried!"
"Umm.."
Mal was suddenly drawing a blank.
He didn't rember what happened exactly.
Though the sudden question did remind him of what he was doing here in the first place.
"Is lanie okay?" He suddenly asked.
Aubrey and Sei suddenly made uncomfortable expressions.
Mal imdiately feared the worst and his heart began to accelerate rapidly.
"She's fine but…" Aubrey began.
"But what?!"
"Honey.." Sei shyly began. "Did you… do sothing to her?"
Malachi felt his face heat up as he heard his girlfriend ask him the worst question imaginable.
"What? No! You know I want you to be my first woman."
"Gross!" Aubrey cried.
"T-That's not what I ant!" Sei blushed furiously and she tried not to show how happy she was with Malachi's sudden declaration.
"Oh.." Malachi imdiately cald down and said a silent apology to his sister for any trauma he may have caused.
"Then what's going on with her?" Mal asked again.
The girls looked at each other with complicated eyes before Aubrey spoke.
"Well she's.."
