POV: Animus Vanishes!

He lay there so sound asleep one would almost think that he had passed in the night. He was hooked up to so many machines, the bleeping and sirens unconsciously driving him insane. Did they know that he was nearly completely healed, did they understand his spirit, his power, no…they only thought they knew. He heard the voice of Superman a moment ago; his voice had resonance of concern, and he was not alone, Flame Man was with him. He misunderstood their worry, or rather his mind translated it into disappoint. His doubt in himself was something like a tragic opera replaying in his mind.


He could not understand how it came to this; how he failed…he failed again. He could not protect his mother, sister, Ella…what right did he have calling himself a hero when he was so easily bested. And then he was left alone with the maddening beeps, again alone; a recluse in his new desires to gain power. 
He opened his eyes, the glint of blue was no longer there, what as left were his dismal green eyes staring up at the plain white ceiling. He gradually unhooked the instruments form his body and dropped out of the bed. He dragged himself up and with his arms now firmly pressed on the mattress, he pushed himself up. To the right of him, he found a doctor note pad. He stumbled over to it and picked up and began to write on it.

“The growing squall of blackness has swallowed me, and I am useless as I am… I have to leave you now, but believe me when I say…this is not forever. The world needs heroes, not me.  I leave the rest to you all, Meta Justice, Coalition, Dream Team, Meta Militia. There is nothing more to say, but sorry. I am truly sorry that I did not live up to your expectations. I have to go now, please forgive me. This new journey is something that I must do alone…”

He left it on his bed before stumbling to the window. He glanced over his shoulder and saw his black and blue uniform on the bedside table. He shook his head before he opened the window, his green eyes shifting to the blazing blue as he dropped out of the window. Is this the end of Animus, only time will tell.
