The headmistress looked at Luke while Luke carried Matt. She frowned, but otherwise didn't say much. Once they reached the infirmary, a nurse met them and took Matt from Luke, pulling him inside.

 

The headmistress reached out and grabbed Luke's shoulder to keep him from following. "I can't promise you anything, Mr. Landers. We don't know what was done to your friend, but we will try." She stood silent for a moment, just looking at Luke, before she continued. 

 

"Listen... you did the right thing. You did good, Luke, but some times, it is best to let others handle the situation when something bad happens. Get some rest, I'll have someone fetch you when there's news."

Can't promise you anything... Luke gave her a worried look, that was pretty much what the doctors have said when he first brought his friend to the ER. That time, it worked. Well at least a little, but given his buddy current state, it hadn't been enough. he took one deep breath and then nodded.

 

What have they done to you man. I'm so f- sorry.

 

He shook his head when she offered him to go. Now, perhaps it wasn't the wisest to object at the moment, but there was no way he was gonna leave. Not now. "I'd like to stay. I mean... I know I can't get in, or help you, but... Please." His gaze shifted to meet the one of the older superhero, a mix of fear and determination within. He was not gonna leave his Matt. Hell, he would stay there awake for days if he needed to, just for a chance to see that his friend was alright. "I need to be  here."

Time passed.

 

Slowly. Agonizingly so. 

 

The headmistress stayed by his side the entire time. She didn't speak much, but Luke was not alone, at least.

 

In the end, Matt was at least saved, but even bringing in technical specialists, the system that controlled Matt seemed to be intervowen with his nervous system. If they removed it, he would be worse off than he was before this.

 

For now, the best they could do was make him comfortable. An artificial coma, until they could figure out what to do.

 

He would be kept at Claremont in a secure place. Luke would be able to visit, but he would have to keep the secret.

 

Hopefully, they would one day be able to help him.
