Lamplighter was beginning to think his life was cursed. He had thought everything was over and that he would never come back, but unfortunately Vought had done… something and now he was alive again. They rushed him to some private hospital and tried to restore his skin. It was scarred by the burns, but it was still easy to see who he was to those who knew him before. The big difference was the cybernetic arm he had that replaced his arm that got cut off. He had no clue what it did yet, but whatever it is probably had something to do with fire. And it was probably bugged.
He hadn’t had any visitors since he had arrived here, he doubted that anyone from The Seven even knew so it was a surprise to him when Starlight of all people entered his hospital room.
“Yeah, there’s no way I wouldn’t know who you are. You got into The Seven when I…stepped down and you’re that Hughie guys girlfriend or something. He wouldn’t shut the fuck up about you.” Lamplighter isn’t even going to mention that parody porn. Maybe the old Lamplighter would, but this Lamplighter…really didn’t feel like making jokes. Or doing much of anything other than wish he was dead. “What brings you here? ‘Cause no offense, but I can’t imagine you came all this way just to see me without wanting something.”
Starlight looked around the room, it was very... clean. The machines beeped quietly, but loud enough to drive a person crazy. She couldn’t help but notice the look on Lamplighter’s face. Did he want to be alive, or did he truly hate himself that much he wanted to kill himself? She found herself wondering why exactly Vought had done this to him, why they chose to keep him alive like this? She couldn’t help but wonder if this place was bugged, she knew she wouldn’t be able to say much to him, or maybe she could suggest they took a walk outside of here? Either way she’d find a way to talk to him about why she came here.
Starlight, looked at Lamplighter, she gave him a small smile. She could see the confusion, the questioning, the wonder, the curiosity in his eyes as to why she was here.
“No, no, i’m not Hughie’s girlfriend, i mean i’m a friend that is a girl, but that is as far as that goes, we did kind of used to date, but not anymore.” She said, not really sure why she was explaining all of that to him. “But yeah, I got into the seven when you... retired, which I can’t help but feel wasn’t voluntary anymore.” She mused as she leaned against a chair. “Would you like to go for a walk? Get some fresh air?” She asked gently with a smile.
