comment_ficWell this is my final day as guest host. I hope you like the themes I presented during the truncated week and hopefully I'll do better next time.
Today's theme is Resurrection. Whether it's to revive a character you killed off yesterday, set right a canon death so that a cherished character lives, or rekindling a romance or friendship, let's try to have some themes/stories where something revives.
Just remember to follow the rules
Only three posts per fandom, and only five total. If one of your prompts is answered, you may go ahead and post another.
No spoilers for new shows/seasons until a week after airing.
If your fill is spoilery, WARN accordingly and leave enough space for people to pass on by
Please also honor and respect our codemonkeys by following the formula for posting:
Torchwood, Jack, No matter how many times he revives, it hurts.
Star Trek XI/Star Trek: TOS, Jim Kirk (XI), Montgomery Scott (TOS), when thrown into the original universe, Jim meets a much older Scotty, who looks like he's seen a ghost.
Charmed, Prue and Piper/Leo, Leo managed to save both sisters at the end of "All Hell Breaks Loose."
Of course if today's theme doesn't suit your mood/interest your muses, there's always the Lonely Prompts.

There are some things the body isn’t meant to take. A car going ninety miles an hour to the head. A steel beam in the gut. A vacuum for any amount of time. It’s not so much that they can’t, really, but that they shouldn’t. See, when the body gets hit, it tears, it stretches, it breaks. And such reactions mean pain. Well, not really.
See, when someone gets pulled into a vacuum, they don’t really feel it. Because it’s a pretty quick death, one that you aren’t really conscious for. But if you DIDN’T die from it, it’d be really painful. One, the air in your lungs will make them burst inside your chest. Of course, this will cause you to become unconscious after a few seconds, with no oxygen to the brain. Areas where air or other gasses gather, such as your stomach, act in remarkably the same manner. The water starts to leave you very quickly, from everywhere, which makes you swell up FAR more than any person ever should.
In short, your body becomes a mess fairly quickly. And were you not unconscious, or dead, it would be rather painful and leave some rather nasty problems.
They pulled Jack back inside the TARDIS, the poor blue box still crying in what can only be called pain from the attack. How was anyone able to lock on and give the old girl a graze like that?! The missile had flown from the round red ship and hit the corner of the TARDIS, causing it to tilt, the doors to pop open, and Jack to slide right out into space. His momentum had been so quick, it had taken him not only out of the protective oxygen barrier, but a good distance away from the cringing vehicle. With his life, his companion’s life, the TARDIS’ life, in danger, the Doctor had to find a way to avoid the second missile before going back for Jack. A whole minute and thirty seconds had passed since he had slid out of the door before he was pulled back inside.
They knew he’d be okay, so they dragged him under the console where he couldn’t get in the way or slide out again, and left him be. He regained life before his body was fully healed, it always did. And it was always painful. To feel your lungs stitching themselves back together from the shattered bits that were all over your chest, to have your face un-swell as water and gas re-entered your body, to experience your intestines and diaphragm rearrange themselves and let you breathe. By the time Jack sucked in a lungful of air, the pain was starting to go away. But it wasn’t one he was going to forget. How could anyone forget exploding from the inside?

It hurt.
Sam dragged him from one doctor to another, had him examined by Castiel and some other angels names of which Nick didn’t bother to remember, had even brought Crowley in once, and everyone had said the same thing. Everything was in order, everything was alright.
No one knew what was the cause of his pain, no one knew what hurt him.
It was hard to describe or explain, this pain. It was like nothing he had experienced before, and he had seen and felt so much when Lucifer had been wearing him.
Back then he had thought he couldn’t hurt more.
He knew better now.
No painkiller was working on him; no human, angelic or demonic one. No spell. Sam was very persistent in looking for anything that would decrease his pain, and Nick was pretty sure they had already tried everything that could have been tried.
Then there was that girl.
Brown hair now wet with blood and sweat, tanned skin pale with fear, and green eyes wide with pain. Another victim of some monster that shouldn’t be there. Nick looked in her eyes, knowing there was no way they could help her, not at this stage, not when this thing had already bitten her, and his pain got even more excruciating. Because she was lying there in her blood because of him, because if he hadn’t said yes, maybe Sam and Dean would have had more time, maybe things would have gone differently, maybe this girl wouldn’t be laying on the floor of her own house, bitten by an ancient Mayan demon that before never got outside Yucatan jungle.
No matter how many times Sam kept repeating it wasn’t his fault, that Lucifer would have find another way in, that it was Sam’s fault to start with, because he was the one that freed Lucifer’s from his cage, Nick knew better. The responsibility fell on him too.
And when he looked up, he saw understanding dawning on Sam’s face, saw the mirror of his own pain in Dean’s eyes.
“It gets better with time,” Sam said, not looking at the girl.
Nick knew it was lie.
But he still appreciated Sam saying it.
