Steph .......... hurts.
For some time, that is all she knows. Oh, there's some other stuff going on, machines beeping and people talking a lot and gunfights outside, and sometimes when she opens her eyes the sky is flame-coloured, but that stops after a while.
Eventually there's more to the world than hurt, though. Like the vague realisation that she's hungry, and that she has too many tubes and wires attached to her for comfort.
And that she's not dead after all. Which is a nice realisation to come to, because somehow she had been absolutely sure that she'd died. A long time ago. But here she is, and she hurts way too much to be dead now. So ... that's okay, then.
She's just not really sure what happens next.
