The power brought sharper awareness, something Michael wished he could do without, although he suspected his consciousness would fade if he released it. As it was, he was sharply aware of pain and little else. Perhaps he was dying, he could not tell. It was probably best to have the wounds tended to, but he could not muster the strength to rise. Relief flooded throughout his body like a hypnotic wave. It was gone. It was gone.
Despite the power, it took him long moments to realise someone had entered. It took another moment to recognize the face and voice.
"The hell?"
He drew on the power to breaking point to muster his facilities. It took long moments to achieve, but when he did, his gaze was alert and mind clear. "I think you just saved me life,"
he said in a tight voice, cool in the detachment he forced upon himself. "Thank you."
Clarity also allowed him to assess the situation, although he did not waste time dwelling on the specifics. "It would be best to keep this as quiet as possible. This was not an attempt by al-Hasan's men."
He could not know for sure, but he doubted the...thing was hired. "There can be no friction, not from this."
Not that the bastards would care, but it might rile their pride in the CCD and take offence.
He paused a moment, catching the look in Dr. Weston's eye for the first time, realising the incredibility of what had happened. He could not quite believe it himself. He was likely in grave danger of bleeding to death, but he needed to know. "What did you see?"

"She saw a flaring halo around his head, radiant in gold and blue. It shouted of glory and power to come"
"No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."
