God. What if Micheal had lived? Not, never fed to the Distortion but like. When the Spiral rejected him and Helen became the avatar, what if it just ripped itself out of him, and he collapsed into Jon's arms, weak and shaking and half dead, just as he'd been before he and the Distortion became one. His hands are normal. His eyes are normal.
He can barely talk and Jon doesn't know what to do but his heart wins out and he takes him to a hospital for treatment, and when Jon goes back to see him Micheal's first, feeble, scared and confused and whispered words are, "Where's Gerry? Do you know where he is? Is he okay?"
