The Odds are Ever Against You; but I beat the buck out of the odds

The odds were astronomically implausible. The doctors hadn't even bothered to check for a pulse. A cut to the the throat. That meant a dead pony. Right? Not to mention how awful she looked. Bloodied and bruised up. Even after they'd washed her up things looked grimdark. They put her in the morgue, putting off her autopsy for sheer busyness. Not to mention… An autopsy was hardly needed. They knew the cause of her death… That's what they thought.

It was midnight when the knock knock knocking happened. Legacy was in her metal cocoon, unsure where she was and scared as hay. The last thing she remembered was those thugs, it'd been painful. Then unconsciousness… Then she was here… She thwacked her hooves on the narrow walls, hearing a metallic twang. Why did she had a metal coffin? Why was her coffin metal? She was alive! Her breath came strangely. She didn't know why it felt so strange. Legacy, being as ignorant as she was about medical stuff, didn't know that the slit to the throat had given her a tracheotomy. Not lethal in the least bit, especially for a resilient cartoon pony.

Legacy had never felt like this before. This degree of pain was nothing compared to the weird jazz going on in her throat. But whatever! She had to get out of here! She started pounding against the sides, hoping someone would hear. She had to open up the coffin lid and dig her way out. Who knew how long she would be in here?

Outside her chamber of captivity was a terrified mare. She was a mortician… But even this was much for her creep-o-meter. Zombies. Oh. My. Celestia. The Mortican ran out of the room, screaming her head off about zombies. Leaving Legacy to scream her own head off in her coffin, as far from a zombie as a pony could be.

Snowbird rolled her eyes as a pony came sprinting down the street, screaming about zombies. Bah, zombies. Worst she'd ever seen was a really angry lich army being run by something that probably would've driven her insane if she'd actually looked directly at it. Thankfully, she'd been running directly away from the thing at that point, and to the best of her knowledge the undead army had torn itself apart with infighting over various plots on how to take over Equestria. However, she wanted to see what was afoot, and so she trotted toward where the mare had come, into the morgue, and followed the sound of hooves on metal until she came to Legacy's storage locker.

"Hello there. You don't happen to be a zombie, no?"

Legacy had managed to cut the screaming by the time Snowbird had come around and just continued trying to push open the top of the "coffin." She didn't want to waste up air, so she was trying to breath slowly as well. Then she heard a voice asking her if she was a zombie. Could she hear her? How? She was underground. "I'm not a zombie." Legacy neighed, her voice quiet and strangely airy… As had her screams been when she had been at it. The slit in her throat was leaving to some weird voice effects.

"Well, now that that's been cleared up, lets' get you out of there." Snowbird pulled the body drawer out of the wall, letting Legacy breathe freely again, before stopping to stare at the hole in her neck.

"I'm not a doctor, but I don't suppose that's healthy. Have you considered getting it stitched up?"

Legacy very nearly hit Snow Bird in the face with her flailing about, but managed to halt her hoof before it did so. Wait… Where was she? Legacy blinked, confused. She put a hoof to her throat and felt the slit, then jolted up to look for a mirror… Which the metallic surface of the drawer gave plenty. she let out a loud airy scream in seeing it.

"Yeah, you should probably get that fixed. Or at least put something cool in it. Ooh, that'd be nice! You'd look like the Iron Pony, except your arc reactor would be in your neck instead of your chest. You should totally do that."

Legacy's screaming died off as Snow Bird blathered on about the Iron Pony. "How am I even alive?" Maybe she actually was some kind of super hero. She looked at her reflection again, looking for a horn and wings. No… She wasn't an alicorn. But maybe still… She might have super powers!

"Looks like you got your windpipe cut open. Not fatal, although usually you lose a major artery when that happens. Still, you'll want to stick something in there. I think I have a mock-arc reactor at home, if you want that."

"It'll probably have to be super super small… This slit isn't that big… But I am SO GAME for that." That would be super cool. "And we should find someone to magically imbue it so it has REAL magical powers. Or maybe I'll swing by my folks and see if they can do something with inmaptine and a reactor." Yup, she was part of the one and only earth pony family that grew inmaptine. Unless staff said no, then she'd be just part of a regular earth pony family with connections to the family who grew inmaptine.

Snowbird grinned and immediately began measuring the slit in Legacy's neck.

"Yep, looks to be just about the right size! If you don't mind having a piece of steel permanently embedded in your throat, we can probably have this done by the end of the week!"

"As long as its air tight tooootally for it!" She reared up excitedly, then went back on all fours quickly, feeling light headed and dizzy. Legacy wasn't quite used to breathing like this. She gave an epic hero post that kept her hooves on the ground, gleeful. That sure had been a quick change. Within seconds she'd changed from a screaming gal to a giddy and happy one."I don't think I could ever get used to this kinda breathing... Plus, it might fall out if it's not on right."

"Nah, I'll make sure it's never coming out. It might hurt a bit at first, but you'll get used to it." Snow helped steady Legacy, and kept a wing over her as she led her out into the outside world.

"So, anything you want to do now that you're alive again?"

"You know a good surgeon?" She couldn't think of one off the top of her head. But as far as magic and inmaptine went- she had that in the bag. Legacy hoped that they could pull this request off. She doubted the family had ever gotten a request like this. "Well... To be frank I want to deal with this as soon as possible. I'm hungrier than a horse... But I don't imagine I could eat a thing with this slit in my throat."

"I don't, and I doubt that cut through your esophagus. If it had, you would almost certainly be dead right now. So c'mon, lets' get some food in you."

She felt a worried twinge in her stomach, bitting her lip as she followed the mare. Now that she thought about it… There may be something even more pressing than food to go about at. She'd been swept up in the idea of being a super hero, and was still pretty swept up. But… Legacy scuffed the ground with a hoof. "Actually… There may be something…" She was nervous to say, ashamed and scared. Nothing like it would ever happen again. Legacy knew it. With the inmaptine reactor with her no magic could ever hold her down, not even the strongest kind. She would be strong, she would be powerful. But...
