	Numbness.  Sweet, merciful numbness.  Kane's eyes couldn't help but fixate on the IV drip that was administering his pain killer.  Each drip seems more fascinating than it had any right to be.  An involuntary smile crept over his face as the euphoric relief continued to spread throughout his body.

	His feet, adorned in some fascinating fluffy yellow socks with little robber traction dots (a gift from a nurse) nearly touched the southern railing of his hospital bed.  His gown felt a few sizes too small, but was grand enough to cover the important bits.  His long hair sat disheveled upon his head, traces of debris and possibly blood decorated a few strands here and there.

	Despite it all, there he sat watching the liquid within the hanging bag drip, drip, drip with a goofy, slouched grin.

	The declaration was enough to shake Kane from his trance.

	[color=9966CC]"And I uhh... Can turn shadowy. With a skull for a face... [b]Somehow.[/b]"[/color]  Kane's grin shrank until it resembled a small 'o' while his eyebrows levitated up his forehead.  He had so many questions but the words refused to leave his mind and venture out to his lips.  Instead, he just sat there looking a bit dumb for a moment or two before finally saying...

	"[color=899499]'Eyyy Rosaria![/color]" followed by an exaggerated, and arguably frantic, wave of his hand.  "[color=899499]Ah'm Madnot... Mad-... What am I trying to say?[/color]" The question seem more posed toward himself rather than anyone else in the room.  "[color=899499]I'm Madnite?  I'm... [b][i]I'm MidKnight![/i][/b][/color]" The discovery of the correct words sent a gleeful surge of energy through him as he revealed his moniker.  He then looked back up at the IV drip.  "[color=899499]Holy shit, they need to turn this stuff down,[/color]" he huffed with a smirk.

	Giving his fellow heroes his attention once more, he continued.  "[color=899499]But I think I can trust you guys.  Especially after all [i]that[/i]![/color]" He motioned with side nod toward the general direction of the Lafayette building that they had just left.  "[color=899499]You can call me Kane.  An' I uh... I'm not really sure what I do, per se, but it gets rainbowy as fuck whenever I do it![/color]"  The goofy grin returned as the gentle giant beamed with pride.
