The same night... 10:16 PM, Leilah's Penthouse

Doc's POV


It's been well over twenty four hours now... but Leilah has yet to wake up. This is making me more anxious the more minute passes by, and this weather doesn't make it any better.

The view down below becomes blurry from all the rain pouring to these massive glasses. It's like driving at full speed in the heavy rain. And because we're so high up... It feels like there's a storm happening currently

I just spent all this time watching TV and playing around my phone on Leilah's place, not knowing what to do. And I haven't really eaten today... Does she have something on her fridge that I can use?

I checked around her kitchen, and still managed to be surprised by how massive the kitchen is. I opened the fridge, but there's little to nothing in it

Not a hobby at cooking huh? She might be so busy that she doesn't have any time for it. Well... I guess I can still do something with these...


30 minutes later...

Leilah's POV


"You're useless to me"

"We already have her... We don't need to take care of Leilah"

"A failure"

I slowly opened my eyes, my sense of hearing slowly coming to me. Rain pouring to my windows was all I could hear after the bitter nightmare I just had. And now that my ability is gone, it stung to my heart deeper than ever

Tch...

It's like I'm reliving my younger self before my ability manifested. But I didn't put any more mind to it, rather... I was wondering where Darren went off to

I stood up from my bed, and realized that I struggled to keep my balance. A split headache suddenly occurred to me

Urgh...

My vision become out of focus for a second. I noticed all the lights are off except for the kitchen area. He's probably there...

"L-Leilah!" Darren noticed that I was barely able to walk over to him. He instantly helped me walked over to the kitchen. It seemed like he was.... cooking?

"H-how are you feeling? Can you use your powers?" Asked Darren nervously

"No, I can't..."

"Should we use my tonics now?"

"Are you kidding? It's never a good idea to take a medicine with an empty stomach! A doctor should know this!" I said sarcastically

"O-oh right... Sorry, haha"
