Ok guys, here we go chapter 2!

ENJOY!

I woke once again with the groggy feeling in my head gone. I groaned as I sat up and let my head roll back. I looked back at the bed-side table to double check on Breeze. He was still there, but beside him sat a shining red apple. I looked at it, ravenous with hunger. Unfortunately I was unable to get it, because I was still restrained, frustrating me. However I calmed myself down, not wanting to be put to sleep again.

~*Yawn*, So what's the 411 boss?~

/ Well...fuck all has changed except an apple on the table we can't even reach. \

+Well, what numbskull thought we'd be able to reach it while being held to the bed by fucking straps?!+

I chuckled slightly. I then snapped my head up as I saw the door open and a brown stallion walked in. He must be the doctor!

+Great work Atom, I can't think how you figured it out besides the fucking obvious lab coat!+

/ Someone isn't having a good morning. \

+What do you expect?! We're strapped to a hospital bed and they stuck a fucking needle in us!!!+

"Well, well, well! Your awake." the stallion said as he trotted over to me.

~Fucking gypsy.~

+I'll never understand how you can come to these conclusions.+

"Why, in Celestia's name, am I strapped to the bed?" I replied, ignoring Cyclone's comment.

"Ah...that. Well you see, when you were brought to us, we were attempting to operate to save your life, and you kept thrashing around. Hence the straps.", he seemed exceedingly calm through his explanation. Does he do this often or something?

"Ok, then that seems fair enough. Can you take them off now?", I was satisfied with his explanation and just wanted that apple for now.

He came over and undid the straps. As soon as they were off, I lunged for the apple and wolfed it down in 10 seconds flat.

~Damn that's one tasty apple!~

The doctor seemed unperturbed, by my manners. In fact he seemed more curious about my behaviour than anything. I then reached for Breeze, but my hoof was stopped by the doctor's. Bad idea. That sword meant as much to Cyclone as it did me.

I felt control of my body shift to Cyclone and suddenly I was looking in the terrified eyes of the doctor as I held him by his throat.

"That is my sword! I am going to strap it to my wrist and you will not stop me! Understand?!", I didn't try to stop Cyclone. He was right. The doctor nodded and Cyclone released him. Control returned to me.

"Anyway."The doctor only seemed slightly startled. Fuck me this guy has nerves of steel! "My name is Dr. Whooves, and you are?".

I couldn't see any harm in telling this guy my name. "Name's Atomic Vortex, but everyone calls me Atom."

"Ok Mr. Vortex, you'll need to be here for about another day, before you can leave." Another day? Surely my injuries warranted more than a day's recovery. Wait, how long have I been here already? I repeated my question to Dr. Whooves.

"Don't worry you've only been here about a week. We kept you under because we feared your struggling could cause complications."

+Oh dear Celestia, we really did take a number!+

"How badly was I injured?"

"Well you lost over half of your blood and your hoof we were only just able to repair. Your lucky you were brought here when you were." Hang on! That's a good point.

"Wait, who was it who brought me here?" I thought back to just before I blacked out, but it was too hazy to make anything out.

"It was the Apple family, specifically Applejack and Big Macintosh."

"Don't know them. Why would someone I have never met help me?" I was confused by their generosity.

"Well here in Ponyville, everyone helps everyone, and the Apple family do it better than anyone."[Fuck you dirty minded people]

/ Looks like that's our first stop while we're stuck in this town. \

~Do we have to? I hate people.~

+You know Cyclone, your such an unsociable bastard+

~And that is why I hate people!~

/ Well put up with it because we are going \

"...Mr. Vortex? Mr. Vortex!" I suddenly snapped back to reality.

"Hmm? What was that?"

"I said I need you to fill this form out, so we can contact someone who knows you, if need be." He passed me a clipboard with a few sheets of paper held together by a staple. I quickly filled the form in, but the pen hovered above one question for a few seconds before moving on without filling it in. I wasn't going to go there. I passed the clipboard back to the doc, who looked over it quickly. Thankfully he didn't query about the question I had left blank, but instead smiled as he moved for the door and said, "Thank you Mr. Vortex. I'll be checking up on you in around 2 hours.", and with that he left.

My eyes returned to Breeze. I picked the hilt up and attached it to my undamaged hoof, after checking it for any discrepancies. The emerald that adorned the bottom of it was still in pristine condition. Satisfied, I turned my attention to the door as I heard three sharp raps. A now familiar face peeked their head round the door and lit up at the sight of me being awake. It was that same orange mare, one of the Apple family. Judging by the fact she wasn't exactly "big" I assumed she must be Applejack.

"Well, how'd ya do sir." She spoke with a thick country accent.

"Um, I'm fine thanks. You must be Applejack, am I right?"

"Right ya are there. I'm afraid I didn't catch your name, ya know you bein' all passed out and such." [Cut me some slack I have no idea how to right in AJ's accent! I'm doing my best though.]

"Name's Atomic Vortex, but you can call me Atom." I saw no possible reason to be hostile and for once Cyclone didn't either...in fact...

~I think she's kinda hawt!~

/ Dude, you realise we've only just met her right? \

+Do you really think it makes a difference to him, Atom?+

/ Fair point. \

"Well it's nice ta make your acquaintance Atom!" She went to shake my hoof, but instead grabbed my injured one. Yeah...talk about pain...

I cried out and clutched my now throbbing hoof to my chest.

"Oh, right. Sorry about that." She shrunk back ashamed of herself, for doing something that idiotic. [If that sounds harsh, it's not meant to be, it's just how she saw it!]

"No, no! It's fine really!" A light smile touched my lips as I looked up. I was beginning to agree with Cyclone. I liked Applejack. She seemed like somepony that you could rely on.

"I mighty sorry 'bout that, I jus' like makin' new friends." She smiled sheepishly and rubbed her hoof behind her head.

"It's fine. I'd like to thank you for bringing me here. Is there something I could do to repay you?" I felt I owed her my life.

"Well, we could use sum' help down at the farm."

"That's fine, I'll swing by as soon as I'm out of here." I extended my good hoof and this time she shook it without causing me pain.

"Well, I need to get goin', it's been nice meetin' ya'll Atom." She tipped her Stetson hat in goodbye as she left the room.

~Well that was fucking interesting.~

+You both were just checking her out!+

/ That's not entirely true... \

+Well I can't do anything about it now. I suggest we sleep the day in here off.

/ We seem to be doing a lot of sleeping lately \

I laid back and let myself drift into another peaceful slumber.

Chapter 2! Oh yeah! Like a boss!

Well anyway guys I'll be seeing if I want any other OCs in the fic. But for now:

Peace out ya'll!
