Emergency Surgery…
It startled me just how casual these guys were after an attack by an extra dimensional alien but I guess they're just used to it after all this time and most likely they are all going to relax for the rest of the day to cool of from the action today and talk about it tomorrow, just goes to show that humans can adapt to anything or put better that they can be desensitised to anything since I know I've heard stories about a regular guy who slowly resolves over time into a psychopathic maniac and sometimes I wonder if I myself am going down a similar path. "Hey Susan, do you mind treating me in your medical lab? I got a bit roughed up today when that Blastaar guy shot that beam at me and I got injured because of it, hurts like hell so I'd appreciate you stitching me up" Susan turns around in the corridor to see me and nods her head agreeing to treat me, I follow her into the elevator and stand beside her as she presses a button to lower the elevator a level to go to the medical lab and while waiting to arrive at our destination she questions the extent of my injuries. "You did good today Nick, I appreciate it. Now, just how injured are you? You don't look that bad to me, a few scrapes and bruises but nothing maj- WHAT THE HELL!" Susan shouted her reaction after I brushed the lab coat I was wearing to the side and lifted up my shirt to show her the piece of metal shrapnel that was imbedded into my gut between two of my abs from when Blastaar destroyed the control panel for the portal, I've been tensing my muscles this entire time to prevent blood loss but it's really wearing on me now and just tensing my muscles around the shrapnel only reduced the amount of blood loss not completely eliminated it and right now I'm going on empty which was part of the reason I fastened up the fight against Blastaar so I could free Susan up so she could treat me rather than waiting for them to finish the fight or try and sneak out to get myself treated (whether that be at the hospital or using any tools I myself could find/getting Earl's help) and risk being seen by Blastaar on my way out and get blasted again which I didn't want a repeat of since I saw what happened the first time I got blasted.
"OH MY GOD, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING WHEN YOU WERE RIGHT NEXT TO ME? JESUS CHRIST, THIS IS MORE THAN A BIT ROUGHED UP NICK! WE HAVE GOT TO GET YOU TO THE MEDICAL LAB IMMEDIATELY, IT ALREADY LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE LOST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BLOOD!" Susan immediacy rushed over to my side and began examining my wound careful not to exacerbate my injury but the entire time she was screaming at me shocked by the large metal piece sticking out of my gut as well as frightened by just how much blood was beginning to pour out of my wound now that I'd finally relaxed after getting out of that dangerous situation and in turn un-tensed my muscles which allowed the blood to start seeping out around the metal shard embedded in me and while I could've kept my muscles tense and restricted my blood loss I felt now would be a good time to un-tense as it would be quite weird for me to have the sort of willpower and tenacity to keep my muscles tensed without metal shard in me which was why I chose now to relax since the elevator was nearing its stop and the medical lab was right next to the elevator so Susan should be able to rush me into the medical lab and start treating me within the next minute so I don't mind bleeding out for some tens of seconds since it'll be stopped in less than a minute and I'll be stitched up and back to tip top shape, as soon as the elevator dings and the elevator doors open Susan immediately stops using her voice and goes extremely silent as she holds onto me with both her hands and lifts us off the ground by placing an invisible force field under us and levitating it up off the ground and before I knew it we were off zooming down the corridor and into the medical lab with Susan blasting the door open using her powers and hopping off the platform and gathering medical equipment and tools while the forced field gently lays me down onto a metal table.
Susan having gathered her tools and equipment drops them onto one of those metal trolley tray things that you see in a surgery and she wheels it over to me before plucking a pair of scissors off of the tray and cuts through my shirt and ripping it off me to expose my wound to the air after which she begins to gather her tools that have been messily dropped I got he metal tray and sort through them placing the beside her in a particular order so as to have the most effective and efficient surgery possible with minions risk though she is going a lot more hurriedly than I thought she would because right now I don't feel that bad or anything so she's probably overreacting at my gruesome wound, I watch calmly as she sorts through her tools and equipments but that's when I notice something decidedly off which was the fact that she only brought tools and equipment with her but I didn't see anything like an IV or any syringes or drugs with her which was weird since usually that would be a crucial part of a surgery to put the patient to sleep/numb them and gives them drugs and stuff through the IV throughout the surgery and afterwards but I don't see anything like that and I'm right to be worried when Susan grabs onto my shoulder and steadies me. "Listen to me Nick, we don't have time to use any anaesthetics or drugs on you right now. Since the time you received this injury from Blastaars blast you've been bleeding out and though the metal shard which caused your injury also ironically stemmed some of the blood loss you've still lost quite a lot and so I don't have the time to find the drugs and anaesthetics and measure the correct dosages for you since that would be wasting time we don't have, time you don't have. I'm going to have to operate on you straight away without any anaesthetic so you'll be awake and definitely feeling quite a lot of pain as I operate and stitch you back up which is why I'm gonna be holding you down against the bed with my forcefields so you don't move during the surgery and make me make a mistake, I'm gonna be holding you down pretty tight so I apologise in advance."
Fuck I completely miscalculated the fact that I'm no longer a regular human which she clearly believes as a regular human wouldn't be able to stem their blood loss by simply tensing their muscles and they would definitely be feeling woozy after loosing the amount of blood that I have but I'm no longer a regular human and am an enhanced spider human meaning that I am a lot more tougher and durable than a regular human and so I haven't really felt the affects of my wound much apart from the pain but Susan believes me an ordinary man and an ordinary man after receiving a wound like this and having it for that length of time would definitely be close to death so it's no wonder that Susan is so worried and we be operating immediately without any anaesthetic which is bad news for me since I didn't take any of that into account and I didn't expect to be wide awake for live surgery, I try and lean up to talk to Susan about the situation but before I can say anything I'm immediately slammed back down onto the surface of the metal bed and my limbs are clamped down as well with my legs being stuck down against the surface of the metal bed and my arms being strapped against my side and when I go to talk to Susan about doing something about my situation I realise that even my head is being strapped down against the metal bed as well and when I try to speak I realise that she even used a force field to close my mouth and hold me down only leaving my nose free to allow me to breath and I'm confused at why she's done that as she could be doing it since my screaming during surgery could impact the movement inside my body and make her make a mistake or it could be because my screaming itself will shake her and make her make a mistake either way my mouths been clamped shut so I can't even protest any of this and I just have to bare with it.
Susan immediately gets to work by removing the metal shard from my stomach which brings me a sharp pain which fades away but leaves behind a burning sensation as my insides are exposed to the air and she immediately get to work by delving into my insides and doing god knows what and in the process cause me intense hellish pain the makes me want to scream but I can't even do that with the force field clamping down onto my lower jaw only allowing me to let out low moans and murmurs as she starts to stitch me back together and I can only express my pain through my body but even that is restricted so I end up just stretching and curling my hands and feet in all directions as some way to try and let the pain out which is stupid but helps for some reason but it's not much as she begins to use multiple tools (that I can't see from here as my heads is strapped to the table) to begin mending my insides and my wound, this pain is the worst I have ever felt in my life since it hurt when the metal shard was put in me by Blastaars blast but that was a short brief instant of pain which calmed down afterwards as I got used to the pain and walking around with it but this was a lot worse since the pain was constant as she started to nip and tuck at my insides moving things around and clamping things together which just hurt immensely and she stitched me back together starting with the damage inside me which I think was minimal as it missed my vitals and then she began to stitch up my wound on the outside before beginning to wrap me up in bandages and make sure that my wounds weren't infected.
I don't think I will ever feel a pain worse then this in my entire life and while I know that there are worse pains and suffering out there I don't plan on receiving them as I will be looking out for myself and with my meta-knowledge I should be able to avoid most the dangers but even then I don't know everything as there is too much plus some things I just wouldn't be able to predict or escape since while I might not be in the MCU the infinity stones definitely do exist in this universe (they exist in all marvel universes I'm pretty sure) and knowing that someone in possession of them could erase half of life in the universe is scary (not to mention the fact that this universe might have a Thanos enamoured with Death and not one obsessed with balance, so this universes Thanos may even erase more than half of all life which is even scarier to think about plus marvel comics Thanos is a lot fucking stronger than MCH Thanos) and I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the DC universe that's capable of such a feat which is one of the reasons I want to go to that universe, at the moment though I'm just glad that the surgery and the pain is over, the worst pain I'll probably ever feel…
