The couple had been struggling together to put him through medical school. Giselle had moved from California a year after Ezekiel so the two could be together. Now with the schooling finished and the legal marriage complete they could go to his home and rejoice with the family.

The flight to Jamaica is uneventful. The plane lands smoothly and begins taxing to the terminal. All of a sudden there is a flash of light on the right side of the plane. It begins to veer off the tarmac and shutters. Ezekiel holds tight to Giselle determined to protect her as best he can. Looking out the small window Ezekiel can see costume clad female (howler) grinning then opening her mouth she lets out a loud scream however her scream is like a sonic boom. Ezekiel throws himself over Giselle not sure how it will help but he must protect her. Just as he begins to feel the pain of the sound he places his left hand flat on the window in desperation to hold back to blast. Another costume clad female (witchcraft) comes into view in the same spilt second and throws a protective shield between the blast and the plane however not before some of the blast hits the window where Ezekiel’s hand is. He feels the searing pain in his hand through his wedding band then begin to spread down his arm. The intense ringing in his ears is almost more than he can bear but he refuses to move needing to protect Giselle . In the next split second the shield breaks through the connection and envelopes Ezekiel feeling like his entire body is being stretched beyond normal human limits between the sound and the magic shield. He slowly loses consciousness and becomes unable to move then all is black.

Ezekiel begins to become aware of his surroundings. He is lying on a bed. Things are taped to his arms he still has the horrible tinnitus is almost too much to bear. He can hear people talking but they seem a great distance away. Slowly he opens his eyes and lifts his right hand to shield his eyes from the light. He is in a room, a hospital room. He turns his head a little too quickly and winces as the tinnitus gets a little louder. However when he sees the soft green eyes and rich brown hair of Giselle tears rolling down her cheeks he smiles “hello my beautiful lady, it seems that I have worried you. “

Giselle smiles brightly and says “oh my love you scared us so much” Ezekiel can tell that she is speaking and he hears some of the words but they sound as if she is across the room and whispering.

The next couple of days go by. Ezekiel is getting impatient with the doctors here as they are not giving him the answers he is wanting. His hearing is not improving like he wants it to and he still cannot feel his left hand. It is completely wrapped up so he cannot even assess the damage himself. Giselle hasn’t left his side. His mother and father have come to see him several times in the last few days. All are trying to keep him calm and begging him to rest and let the doctors handle the testing and treatment. Frustrated he begins to go over the event trying to figure out exactly what had happened. On the third day in hospital Ezekiel gets a visit from the second costume clad female. He sees the nurse talking with her and he tenses remembering the intense agony that coursed through his hand through his body. Lifting his left arm and rubbing the bandages that it is wrapped in. The nurse comes into his room and smiles, “Dr. Mullins. The hero witchcraft would like to speak with you.” Ezekiel looks at her and nods still unsure of what to think. Witchcraft steps into the room she smiles softly and then motions to the chair. “Would it be okay if I sat down?” Ezekiel’s hearing is still not restored to full however at least now it is normal volume just sounds muffled. Subconsciously he lifts his left hand to his chest and rubs it with his right hand. “Please feel free.”

Witchcraft sits and smiles, “ I have come to speak with you in regard to the day you arrived on the flight. In all the chaos that ensued we were not able to speak that night, and those of us who are heroes wanted to speak with you and two others from the flight. We are not sure of all the details but the three of you seemed to have absorbed the sonic/magical energy that was caused with the attack by Howler a known villain who we The Champions now have in custody. We are concerned that the three of you may have some very serious complications due to this absorption of these elements. “. Ezekiel puts up his hand to stop her from continuing. Superheroes, villains, Is he still out cold and dreaming. How could he absorb energy of any kind. He is a human, he is a scientist this is nonsense, he looks at the young woman sitting beside him in disbelief. “ what do you mean by absorbed energy, and what complications? Dammit I am a doctor (Jim not a superhero) and what you are saying makes no sense. “. Witchcraft smiles and nods knowingly, “I understand your confusion and I am sure that you still are not sure what happened. I am going to go but leaving our contact information in case you have any questions or concerns. “. She stands and leaves The Champions’ contact info on his bedside table then turns and leaves the room. (((witchcraft would contact Sentinal to inform him of the situation and that he will be taking a position as a cardiac surgeon in New Orleans )))

The next four weeks seem to be an eternity for him to heal but his hearing has completely and his left hand has seemed to have recovered from the extreme energy that had run through it. The fingers still a little too swollen to be able to wear his ring again but that should not take too much longer. Giselle steps close and touches his arm and kisses his cheek softly. They gather the last of his things and leave the hospital room to head to their new life together in New Orleans
