And you're right there, but I can't see you

WHO: Matt and anyone who is visiting him in the hospital
WHERE: A hospital...
WHEN: Backdated to Sunday night through Thursday afternoon. Please specify the time and date in your post! :)
WARNINGS: ???
SUMMARY: Matt is in the hospital and people visit him
FORMAT: Whatever you like.

Matt was pretty lousy at this sort of thing. The idea of lying still and letting people poke him and prod him and study his body never sat well with him. He didn't like having to explain away gunshot and stab wounds, or deal with the inevitable vision tests that doctors always seemed to want to perform on him. He especially didn't like that these doctors were strangers to him, people who didn't know him or know his history. He couldn't really trust these people to figure out what was wrong with him, why he'd lost his memories, or why his powers were gone.

But without his radar, he was useless. He felt so paralyzed without it, like he was broken and had no chance in the world of ever being fixed again. Now instead of being Hell's Kitchen's most feared defender he was some pitiful, strung out blind guy. It was quite a way to fall. Sure, he'd experienced a loss of his powers before, but this seemed so much more profound and terrifying. Maybe it was the not knowing how it had happened or who was responsible.

Someone had to be responsible, right? He didn't roofie himself. He didn't rough himself up. But he could remember anything since Tuesday. Whoever had done this had picked the perfect target: without his powers, he wouldn't be able to identify them anyway, with or without the drugs.

As it was now, he couldn't identify the visitors in his room, not without hearing their voices or being told they were there. He couldn't smell people, he couldn't hear their heartbeats. He could do nothing but lie in that bed and wait for some strange doctor to give approval for him to leave.

Matt was pretty sure he was going to go insane.

Gone? How is that even poss...



Wait. Your radar?

Matt...



I'm here. Right beside you. I can start investigating, see if there's anyone who has the power to do something like that.

What makes you so sure? There are plenty of them who can take other people's powers.

Hard to forget that when...

Perhaps. I've heard of the Porter doing strange things before, maybe...

All right, all right, but then what could it be? You said yourself that an Import was unlikely and outside of the Porter, I don't have any other ideas. The last person to take this many people was...



I don't think it's that clown. He wouldn't have hid his tracks.

The government? What makes you think that?

Again, Imports? The Porter itself? It certainly whisks away people at will...

Like, oh, any of the imPorts who have captured people before?

One or two, huh. You don't suppose they could be working together?

Like? No one, but I would start with looking at the usual suspects. People who have done this kind of thing before, threatened the City en mass.

The last people I can think of are Dent and that stupid clown. At least as far as kidnapping is concerned. Though there was the brainwashing...
