Awakening
"What..." Johnny Storm, aka the Torch, blinks furiously trying to make sense of his current situation. All around him, either sitting (albeit on the ends of their chairs) or standing close by, faces he didn't recognize stared at him in anticipation. With their mouths hung open like deep black caverns he asked, "Where am I?"
A blurry form stepped forward and the face of an angel came into focus. Their eyes met and for a moment it looked like the woman was going to say something, but at the last moment she hesitated, seemingly lost in the deep pool of his oceanic eyes.
A taller figure came up to stand close behind the petite brunette. Padme is visually jolted out of her thoughts and made a face before finally answering him, "You're on Alderran."
"Do you know how you got here?" A voice questioned from the back.
"What was that huge funnel in the sky?" Another man asked.
"Why the hell did you burn up all our bases?!"
"Wait a minute!" Torch tried to interject.
"What is your relationship to Master Radd?" The young man behind the angel's face stepped forward again with his last request, his elbow and side unconsciously pressing against the woman, who blushed furiously.
"Enough!" Her arms went up slightly and she pushed away from the tall young man at her side, making her way over to Johnny's bedside.
The young woman looked deep into Torch's eyes with her own hazel pair and Johnny felt himself lose touch with reality as Alicia's words reverberated through his mind.
You can only fool yourself but for so long, Torch.
"This can't be real..." He thought while the petite young woman took a seat by his side. She leaned forward, against the bed.
"Can you tell us what your name is?"
Torch flashed her his most adorable smile before answering, "My name's Johnny Storm, but the ladies call me Torch."
Torch glanced around the room still smiling lazily, wondering what they were pumping through the IV tubes to make him as peppy as Reed after he's finished one of his pet science projects. He sat up.
"My name's Ami-dala," Aimee Dolla? said, returning his smile. She motioned to the other men continuing on in her introductions. "... and this is Anna Kin Sky Walker, Obi One and Bail Organ Ah." Aimee turned back to Torch and motioned just behind him.
"And this is Dr. Herron Cross." Johnny turned to see for the first time, clearly who had nursed him back to health.
"Good mor-ning, Mist-er Storm. How are you fee-ling?" Johnny was shocked to see a metal man made up of robot parts tending to his shoulder. He shot up, almost completely out of bed and started ripping out the IV chords on his wrists and chest.
"Wait!" Aimee screamed and Johnny was startled enough to slow his actions.
"What was the last thing you remember?" She asked hurriedly.
"What, you mean before waking up in this alien pit?" Aimee nodded patiently.
"Before this I was pushing Norrin Radd down the throat of that world-eating bastard."
Johnny heard a strange, electrical humming sound right before Anna Kin and Obi One whipped out blue and green sword-like lights from beneath their cloaks.
Torch didn't know what their intentions where, but if the expression on their faces were any indication, he knew he didn't want to wait around to find out. He immediately bolted out of bed.
"Flame on!" He yelled right before his body seemingly combusted before their astonished eyes. The two men let their light sabers whirl to life. With a flick of the wrist Anakin sprang forward, coming down almost right on top of Torch before Amidala let out a blood-curdling scream.
"No!" She shouted at them, her delicate fingers clutching the ends of Anakin's tunic. Johnny caught the beauty's eye again in time for a fiery wink right before crashing through the bedroom window and flying far out of sight.
