Michaels chest was beginning to rise, and fall as he started breathing again. He groaned, then coughed as air was making it into his lungs and out. He was supposed to be dead, he knew that much at the very least, but somehow he was alive again he didn't know how yet. He opened his eyes slowly, he saw kalinda and zack kneeling over him. He also saw that the old arc reactor in kalindas hand. "you saved my life."

He wasn't daring to move not yet, he didn't know if there would be anymore nasty surprises yet. He would wait till he was ready to sit up, he just looked at the sky. He was glad to be alive, still though he didn't know what to think yet. Michael had cheated death, because of kalinda he didn't know if that was going to happen while he was with kalinda or not. Still he wouldn't complain if he was alive.
