[Sixteen hours seems like so little. But hey, somewhere in that time David got a whole seven for himself, and food, and even briefed the other members of the council, though only after he left a careful watch on his ex.
The timing is still good enough that David's in the room, 'talking' quietly to monitors when Josh suddenly comes awake. He curses briefly and instructs one machine to push some morphine. It's not something he does because he expects the man is in pain. It's because he knows Josh is disoriented, and with his powers back at his disposal, it would be simple for Josh to accidentally go lead and lash out.
Unless his body was trying to burn off something it saw as potentially harmful. Thus the morphine as David tied to move into Josh's line of sight.]
Josh. Love. It's okay. You're home. You're safe and you're home and no one here will hurt you.
