Chapter 183 - Magical [#2]

Turns out waking up in a hospital bed, surrounded by medical equipment and completely alone wasn't that stressful once you know how you got there. He just kept breathing in and out, carefully, not to get a panic attack due to this strange sensation going through his body- 'Okay, no one around that i can see, my body feels like I'm sore all over, and there's little to no saying what the fuck will happen to me. I'm in an unfamiliar world with unfamiliar powers that can save or doom me. I pray that I'm not in the Marvel universe or DC Universe...' He tried getting up, the tube on his arm was itchy to he pulled it off, there were other things attached to his body he disliked and began to take them off including the heart monitor thing, which was a little overdone in his opinion. It's not like he was that close to death- Right? Maybe overusing his energy has some unforeseen side effects he doesn't know about? Possible, maybe he had a heart attack or a heart failure due to blood loss, which he doesn't know if its possible but he also doesn't know shit abot medicine so...

'Maybe i can gather information- Should i play the complaint kid or the scared kid that woke up without memories due to trauma blocking?' Well, he doesn't remember anything, so that might be the easiest one he might be able to act out. 'Also, i might want to try to learn more about how my little power works...' He needed to "comprehend" things to get a magical ability related to it, but he is not sure about such thing since he only has two magics- 'Should i try it?' He thought to himself for a moment before he started to think- What is air? An invisible mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth. Air contains important substances, such as oxygen and nitrogen, that most species need to survive... But esoterically, air (or wind) is the symbol of freedom and movement, something so out of reach but oh so close, air can be invisble, light blue, silver, silver-green, green, white, or any color.

[Comprehension of Air achieved.]

He doesn't fully comprehend this system of his, but he knows he can state his understanding of an element and he will unlock magic related to it... Does it work for other things, like the laws of physics? Gravity? Light? Time or even Space itself? Something for future him to work out because the door to his hospital room just opened while he was lost in thought and trying to get up from his bed- Fuck, he should've tried to unlock some kind of illusion magic or mind magic! "-!!!" Surprise appeared in the eyes of the nurse who opened the door as he stood there awkwardly looking at her on his hospital gown, confusedly staring at her (Or so he thought). "Doctor!" She shouted as she looked back from the door, making him nervous a little as he thought: 'Might want to act clueless about shit. Don't reveal anything. If they know you have powers, try to act as if you don't know how to use them or can't use them due to some trauma realted shit. Blame trauma, always trauma.' Thankfully the heart monitor was disconnected from his chest, because due to its high technology it would've caught the slight change on his heartbeat as he felt nervous: "Patient 819-B has woken up!"

Soon, a man wearing white entered the room and the first thought that came to mind was- Kill him. The little kid just stared at the doctor with genuine fear and confusion in his eyes, because in one side his mind was of an adult, but his brain was one of a child who just went through a major traumatic experience, and even though the mind itself did not feel the effects of the trauma, the trigger was still there. The trigger being the color white, or someone wearing white, that made him high alert and ready to defend himself. The man had papers on his board in hand as another nurse entered the room, he looked at the kid who was looking at him with fear in his eyes as he looked down to his papers and read out the name of the kid: "Paient 819-B... Morgan Jackson, I'm not going to hurt you my name's-" Now, don't blame the guy, he was never trained to take care of underage patients before because his main focus was superpowered patients! And kids normally don't awake powers at the tender age of six, they normally do only at 10 or 12! The youngest they've ever seen was at age 8, and that's very rare.

However, Morgan Jackson did not say anything, he only looked at the doctor in clear distress- Doctor MacNeil cursed inside his head as he saw the fear in the kid's eyes, silently signaling to the nurse to get someone who was better suited to help, since Code Blue was for that. "Kid-" Before he could say anything, the temperature dropped so fast that his breath started to freeze, he saw ice spikes growing out the boy's skin- "Okay, he doesn't like me." Faster than he thought himself possible, Michael MacNeil backed away from the kid who kept staring at him with wide eyes: "Can someone please get the fucking special unit!?" Michael whispered-shouted mostly to himself as the kid and him kept staring, he felt like it was dangerous to turn his back to the scared and possibly dangerous child who was pretty much on fight or flight more after seeing him.

And like flightless birds, you do NOT want to activate a super-powered child's fight or flight instincts! Because it can only end badly. "They're on their way, sir." Was the only response he got before had to at least try to calm the kid down a little: "Hey, uhm, kid?" He was terrible at this! 'Fuck, what did they gave out about the kid again...?' He went over on his head about what he knew of the kid- Powers over ice and fire apparently, survivor of the attack of Freezer and Blade, a duo of villains that worked together to have their personal vendetta against Unstoppable by murdering as many people as they possibly could. The kid managed to kill Freezer and somehow he managed to make Blade stab himself with his own sword after he had his leg cut off by him. 'Wait, Freezer?' He looked down and almost cursed out loud as his mind made the perfect association as to why the kid was so afriad- His white doctor coat! He took it off slowly before throwing it back to the nurse as he said: "It's alright now. No one here's gonna hurt you."

(Please imagine him twerking to the nurse, thank you)

Meanwhile, the recently aware of his name Morgan just stared. He opened his mouth to say something and- No words came out of his mouth. The only time he managed to speak was inside his own mind, he was reborn into the body of a mute little boy. 'Well damn, guess I outta learn how to do ASL?' He kept staring at the doctor who just took off his coat and it surprisingly helped, the white on him made some part of his animal brain act crazy and paranoid, but it slowly relaxed as it no longer saw something it found to be a threat. "He doesn't believe, does he?" Well, of course Morgan didn't believe him, the Doc looked over the more detailed papers as he saw the ice surrounding Morgan's body slowly dissappear, and there he found the cause of the boy's silence- Selective Mutism. Due to psychological reasons not completely detailed on his paper (given only thr vague "due to trauma" reason), the boy stopped talking at the tender age of 3. 'Well damn, now he'll never talk again, because seeing his parents die in front of him will surely put a toll on his todler mind.'

And although Morgan was not aware of this, it would become his new normal- his body affected by the problems of the previous "owner" of this body had, like the selective mutism that would be hard to overcome, and the tust issues that would come along nicely, being brought from his past life into the new one- Because guess what!? You don't leave your mental problems, you take them with you. Same mind, same problems.

[Time till waking up: 07:59:59]

Well, the day was... productive I'd say. Well, he managed not to kill his doctor, and neither the special team, which was good i guess? Yeah, he also managed to "communicate" with them, that being the nodding for yes and shaking his head for no, he answered their questions too which were... Annoying. They were talking to him like he was a kid, which fair, but he didn't like the pity in their eyes for him for shit he didn't even remember! He also managed to develop water and earth magic, by simply thinking what he knew of them, he got the same basic abilities to manipulate and create both elements at will by using his energy, which was an amazing thing. He decided to focus on Ice magic for now, since it eas the only power they knew he had, ice and fire, and he wanted to keep it that way for as long as he could do so! Maybe in the future he would expose his ability to control wind too, since he does want to fly too, which is a dream of his.

"But not talking is such a pain in the ass..." He sighed, here in his mind he could talk freely, he could also do whatever he wanted here, which waa interesting because he couldn't "grasp" the concept of mind that well- Due to its vastness and immensty, like, there were many things he could think of that would be part of a mind! But the one thing he wanted was Telekinesis and Telepathy, as well as the ability to protect his own mind from being read and shit like that, so Telepathy was his main focus and most necessary magic ever! "Maybe i should draw more inspiration from comic books... Professor X? I don't wanna be bald though..." He quickly selected his [Ice Magic] to train and started his exercising over control, he made as many spheres of ice as he could and started to move them in a circular manner, he could make five spheres for now only, which was his limit.

His focus on Ice Magic was now increasing his power to create over 100 spheres and control them perfectly, because he could see that he had some difficulty controlling all five spheres at the same time, which was going to be annoying in the future due to his plans. He did not know where he was yet, but he had the plan to protect himself by making an armor of ice surrounding his body, but he would need to increase his ice resistance and resistance to cold because he had none! Well, almost none, he could hold ice for a few minutes without feeling like he was freezing.

Regardless, many things were to be done and much time he had- or so he hoped to have. Which was something that both scared and inspired him! He did not know the dangers awaiting him in this world, for something told him there was more than just men with weapons out there, he was the living proof- Magic. "Well, time to make some shit." He was sweating as he kept controlling his magic over a longer period of time, making extra efford to keep it.

But it'll take time.
