The lines on the screen fluctuated rapidly, the shifts between peaks and troughs blurring into an afterimage. Starman's body began convulsing on the hospital bed, while Batman clutched his head and swayed back and forth as though nursing a hangover.
Just then, a red-and-blue blur rushed in through the door and darted straight to the bedside, tearing Jar-ro off Starman's face.
