Considering the high-stress fights Michael had gone through one after another, it was only a matter of time until his mind forced him to rest.
Of course, the only reason he felt relaxed enough to do so was because his subconscious mind judged that the crew would be fine without him.
After an unknown amount of time, Michael's senses recovered. The first thing he realized was that he lay on a bed, something warm trailing across his features.
Slowly his eyes pried open. He wasn't surprised to see Ruby sitting upon him. What puzzled him, however, was the fact that his torso was naked, as she seemed to have caressed his body with her tongue.
Before he could ask her what she was doing, he realized that there weren't any injuries across his body. While Nicole did heal him after the battle with the towering robot, Michael had gone through several encounters towards the capital, earning himself a few scars in the process.
