It was nothing like waking up from a deep, long sleep.
He couldn't remember a thing after the explosion, if there was even anything to remember. His mind was a blank as if he just rose from a dreamless sleep, but his body was another thing altogether. His stillness changed almost abruptly as he shifted and jolted awake, a sharp, deep inhale filling new lungs for what felt like the first time.
It hurt. Everything hurt, for a moment. His legs and arms felt like lead, his back ached when he tried to move. When he blinked his eyes open, there was nothing but a blur and blotches of light, and the only thing he heard was a steady white noise, anything else just a distant murmur in the background.
He gripped at what he could reach— a bed? The floor? He couldn't even tell where he was. But he did manage to catch something warm and pliant enough that it grounded him almost immediately, and his still blurry gaze landed on what looked like the contour of an arm.
"What..." Eyes flickered up, though it took him a while to even begin to make out the features of the person next to him. "Diana...?" His heart both fluttered and sank in his chest. If he was here, if she was here... what had happened to the airplane, then?
