The Supersoldier
Chapter 2
The man who fell from the heavens was currently resting on a soft bed. Turns out, he did break his arm, it's pretty bad as well. He was told it'd take over 3 weeks to heal itself. So he's gonna be stuck in some hospital on some planet he doesn't even know the name of. He doesn't have any money so he can't pay the medical bill, and he's also considered a possible threat to the kingdom he resides in.
The reason? He is apparently carrying working pre-war weapons, as soon as the pink lady noticed them, she panicked and demanded he hand them over. The man was in no position to refuse medical care, so he reluctantly handed the handgun over, alongside every magazine. He was then treated a bit more kindly by the all-pink woman, she helped him out of his armor, and provided some medical attention.
Apparently the 'Finn' kid was getting hurt quite often, so she had some sorta understanding of how he worked. The man was no difference, except he was more taller and physically mature than Finn. Ranging from looks to muscle mass itself, she talked on and on about what she could figure out by studying Finn. Though she admitted to pulling the plugs on her Spy Project.
The man didn't really know what to say, around an hour ago he was doing something in space, and suddenly he's on some planet where most of its residents are talking pieces of oversized candy. When she finished applying treatment to the man's wounds, she confiscated his armor and dragged it off. The man stared and considered anything and everything he could do, he ended up sitting in bed.
He processed the information the pink woman openly confessed and considered his options. Option One is he waits for his wounds to heal, and then go out into the world in an attempt to find a way to leave. Option two is he sneaks out of bed and . . Does something. He doesn't have anywhere to go and even if he manages to recover his armor, he wouldn't be able to use it at its truest potential, mainly because of the broken arm. The man sighed and slumped into his bed.
He ran his hand though his hair and wondered, was every living thing giant pieces of candy? Finn and his talking dog are the only living things he is considering to be relatively normal. Even if the dog can triple it's size in a heartbeat. The man wondered what terrible things happened to the dog, one can not simply be born with the ability to stretch! Where does the extra body mass come from?!
The man sighed and swiped the blanket off himself, he dangled his legs over the bed and pushed himself up. He looked around the empty room and spotted a door, he hoped it connected to a bathroom. He approached the door and pushed it open, it was dark, he felt the walls by the door and flipped a small switch. The light flickered on and revealed a bathtub alongside a sink and mirror.
The man approached the mirror and looked at his reflection, he had ocean blue eyes and dark brown hair. His hair was buzzed and gave the man a gritty look, he rubbed his finger along a scar that traveled across his nose. He opened his mouth and examined his teeth, he had a missing tooth, but until then, his teeth were a pearly white. He closed his mouth and turned the tap on, water started pouring out.
The man stared and at water and whispered, "Bathroom has decent water pressure, don't see that shit often." The man ran his right hand beneath the water.
The water hit his hand and started flying in every direction, he removed his hand and dried it on his gown. He didn't have actual clothes, just some Under-armor he wore beneath his Power-suit. The pink lady asked for the Under-armor in exchange for a patient gown. The man complied since he felt . . Icky in the Under-armor.
The man looked at bathtub, he really wanted to take a shower. He looked at his left arm and sighed, it wouldn't be his first time showering with a broken arm. Or . . At least he thought it wasn't. He still couldn't recall much, just something about space, and then suddenly laying in a pile of metal scrap. He was able to remember some past fights he participated in, as well as some facts about the way humans lived.
He didn't even have proper materials to clean himself with. He turned and exited the bathroom, he flicked the light switch down and closed the door. He turned and raised an eyebrow when he saw Finn standing in his room. The man stood there and looked at Finn, Finn did nearly the exact thing.
"Can I help you Finn?" The man asked, breaking the silence.
"I was just wondering if you'd like to do some human stuff together!" Finn replied.
The man raised another brow, "You wanna do human stuff with me?" He asked.
"Yeah! There must be something humans do together for fun!" Finn looked at the man with beaming eyes.
"Look kid, I'd love to go do . . Something to get my mind off everything, but my arm is broken and I'm stuck in this hospital room." The man approached a window and looked outside.
Finn didn't stop there, "That's why I brought this!" Finn pulled a red flask from his backpack.
The man turned and stared at the flask Finn held, "And what is that?"
"It's a potion that'll speed up your recovery!" Finn smiled and stuck his arm out towards the man.
The man looked at the flask than at Finn, "And you want me to drink that? How'd you even get it?"
"I got it from a dungeon I explored! I was saving it in case I ever badly hurt myself, but! I'd say this a great occasion to use it!" Finn started shaking the bottle.
The man stared at the bottle and considered his options, he either waits three weeks to properly heal. Or, He drinks this 'potion' to help speed up his recovery.
What to do.
The man took another look at Finn, he reached out and took the bottle from him. He used his thumb to flick the lid off, he raised the flask to his lips and gulped it down. He finished the bottle in a second, he sighed in satisfaction and handed the flask back.
"So when does the effect star-" the man toppled over.
He caught himself with one hand and growled, his left arm didn't like what just happened. The man continued to whisper curses as a burning sensation traveled through out his body, he yelled when the sensation reached his broken arm. He considered the idea that Finn actually poisoned him, then, he took the thought back when he felt an amazing feeling follow the burning sensation. He felt more relaxed than he's been in the past 12 years.
The man stood back up and looked at Finn.
"You could've warned me about the pain." The man rolled his shoulder and groaned in satisfaction.
"Sorry." Replied Finn. "I wasn't sure if you'd back out if you knew, plus, I figured you could take it." Finn smiled nervously.
The man smirked and started laughing, "I could take it, it just caught me off guard."
The man started moving his left arm and decided to remove the cast he was wearing. He slipped the sling off and removed the cast, he flexed his hand and grinned.
"I don't know what was in that potion, but I gotta get some for myself." The man looked at Finn.
"Well, we could always go dungeon exploring! That's something humans do right?" Finn started running in place.
"Only in video games, and you know what? It sounds like an amazing stress reliever, but I'm in a gown with nothing but my undies." The man made a gesture towards his gown. "Plus I'd really like to take a shower and figure some things out."
Finn looked disappointed.
The man noticed this, "Don't worry kid, I'll explore a dungeon with you. But you'll have to wait until I get used to all this. You understand? Give me a week to get my head wrapped around everything."
Finn looked a bit more satisfied, "Alright, uh."
"Scott." Relied the man, who immediately covered his mouth.
"Holy fuck! I can remember my name! It's probably because of that potion you gave me!" The man smiled the biggest smile, before scooping Finn up into a hug. He squeezed the air out of Finn, who promptly tapped his back while gasping for air.
Scott let go of Finn, who collapsed on his knees taking deep breaths.
"You've got my word Finn, I'll do nearly anything to repay the favor. You spared me the hell of a broken arm, while simultaneously helping me remember my name, amongst other things." Scott reached down and picked Finn up with ease, he placed him back on his feet.
Finn smiled and waved his hand, "It was nothing, uh, Scott, I'm just helping a fellow human."
Scott's smile faded slightly, he was reminded of the cruel truth. Scott and Finn and are the only known humans in Ooo. He tried to think more positively, and the shower was practically yelling his name.
"Alright Finn, you've got my gratitude, but I wanna take shower now that I can, so if you could?" Scott looked a Finn.
"Oh! Uh, yeah." Finn turned and started to leave, he stopped at the door. "See ya later man!" The door closed and he disappeared.
Scott sighed and looked back at the bathroom, "Now to hunt for my cleaning utensils."
Scott proceeded to search the bathroom, he found a packaged loofah and some bars of soap. They were obviously for hands, but he made the sacrifice and used them in the shower. His shower was long and most of it was him standing and letting water hit him. Cleaning was involved in the last moments of bathing.
He left the shower satisfied and slightly irritated, he slid the same underwear back on and clipped the same gown on. He looked back in the mirror and wished for some real clothes. As he left the bathroom, there was a knock at the bedroom door. Scott approached the door and opened it, he was expecting Finn again but was met with Piny lady instead.
Scoot began with, "Hello Pink Lady."
The all pink-woman rolled her eyes, "Your lucky Finn did that for you, potions like that are pretty rare and expensive to make."
Scott raised a brow, "I didn't force the kid to give it to me, I was moments from accepting my fate, until Finn, the angel he is, appeared with a potion. He claimed it could heal me, and in return I just have to hang out with him. I plan on keeping my end of the deal." Scott looked the pink woman in the eyes.
She looked back, than sighed, she pulled her arms out from her back and revealed a pair of pants alongside a shirt and hoodie.
"I had a local tailor make them for you, and seeing as you're all better. I figured you'd like something that didn't show your undergarments to the world." She handed the clothes to Scott.
Scott grabbed them and looked at them, "Why is the hoodie pink?" He asked.
"I like pink, and I paid for them, so I figured I'd get a little laugh out of it in return for the clothes." The pink lady crossed her arms.
Scott sighed, "Can't argue with free clothes, I'll still put em' on, and I'll hopefully retain a small amount of dignity." The man looked away and secretly hoped for a laugh.
Luckily for him, the pink lady giggled, and continued speaking.
The pink lady stopped laughing and wiped the smile from her face, "Seeing as you no longer need a hospital, I've already had you removed from this room."
Scott turned back around, "So where am I supposed to go? I've got no where else to go?!"
The pink lady raised her hand, "Do not worry, I've sent word to a nearby inn, you've got a room reserved for 5 days, and seeing as you're one of the few humans, you'll get spoiled a bit."
Scott raised a brow, "Spoiled how?"
"You are ex-soldier now correct?" She asked.
"I'd like to think not, but I'm afraid so. After everything I've been told, my hopes for returning home get smaller and smaller." Scott looked away and back.
"I'm offering you a job to work as a soldier for me and my kingdom." The pink lady offered.
"Your kingdom?" Scott crossed his arms.
"Yes, MY kingdom." She took a couple steps back and grabbed the sides of the dress she was wearing. "I'm Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum." She bowed and picked her dress up a wee bit, it was rather elegant.
"Oh, uh, not gonna lie Princess, I've been referring to you as the 'Pink lady' ever since we met." Scott smiled and rubbed the back of his head.
The princess crossed her arms, "So are you interested in working for me?"
"Will I get my gear back?" Scott crossed his arms as well.
"Better, you'll get your gear back repaired. And I'll set some tests up so I can truly test your fighting potential."
"Now you're talking my language, what are my working hours and what's the pay?" Scott looked down at the princess.
"The pay is nothing." Replied Bubblegum.
Scott froze, "What?"
"Yeah, repairing your armor is gonna take a while, and I've got the feeling that it's not gonna be cheap." The princess replied.
"What if I finance the job myself?" Scott asked.
The princess rubbed her chin, "Well, I guess you could earn pay if you finance it yourself, but how would you get enough money?"
Scott thought for a moment, "Dungeon exploring." He offered.
The princess looked surprised, "Really? Well, most dungeons do posses large amounts of golden coins and jewelry. So... You probably could, but you'll have to get the proper equipment first."
"I'll use the money I get from working for you, then I'll find someone who sells dungeon worthy gear and I'll buy some." Scott nodded to himself, agreeing with his own plan.
"Alright, whatever you say, just try to avoid getting yourself hurt okay? Your kind is very rare and I'd rather not find your body in some dungeon impaled on a spike trap left for some unlucky soul."
"Right, noted." Scott accepted the thought of such a thing happening.
"Alright, I'll let you get dressed and then I'll show you around town." The princess pointed at the clothes, then closed the door.
Scott took his gown off and slid the pants on, he put the shirt on and left the hoodie on his shoulders. He opened the door and looked at Bubblegum, who was leaning on the wall.
"I take it you don't like the hoodie?" She asked, looking at the hoodie resting on Scott's shoulder.
Scott replied with, "I don't think it's cold enough for a hoodie."
The princess shrugged and pushed herself off the wall and walked down the hallway, her heels were making a annoying clicking sound. She led Scott out of the hospital and out into the Candy Kingdom.
Scott took the time to admire the kingdom, he watched a couple different candy citizens stop and look at him before resuming their day. Scott thought the Candy Kingdom was a perfect name for this place. Seeing as It looked like someone ripped it from some child's storybook.
The princess said something and started walking, Scott was preoccupied with watching the candy people walk and talk. Bubblegum didn't notice he wasn't paying attention until she turned around, to ask why he wasn't replying.
"Hey you!" The princess stopped and poked Scott.
Scott broke free from his distraction and looked at the princess, "Sorry, still confused on how candy can walk and talk. Also my name is Scott, not 'you'."
The princess looked at Scott with a curious expression, "You figured your name out?"
"I'm 99.99% sure it's because of the potion Finn gave me, otherwise I remembered during a convenient time." Scott looked away, than looked back and shrugged.
"Hmm." The princess stopped and thought, "I agree with the possibility of the potion restoring a bit of your brain's functions."
The princess continued to walk and lead Scott to what he assumed was the Inn he was staying at. Scott kept silent for mainly the entire time, as he didn't know what to talk about. When he felt the wind blow by for the millionth time, he cursed the windy weather, and noticed the slight tremble the princess had.
Scott walked a bit faster, now walking side by side, he stretched his arm out, offering the pink hoodie to the princess. She looked over and shook her head, Scott ignored it and shook his arm, the princess looked again and slowly grabbed the hoodie. She mumbled a thanks and slid the hoodie on over her dress, she proceeded to fix her hair.
The hoodie was a bit big for her, the sleeves completely covered her arms and hands. She stuck her hands in the pocket and continued to walk, she'd look away whenever Scott would look at her. Causing Scott to believe she was embarrassed to be wearing his clothes, even though she picked them out, while also paying for them.
Scott shrugged and kept walking, the princess would point at some building and give him it's lore. Scott wasn't particular interested in what she said, though she'd catch his interest every know and then. She'd name a couple things, wave to passing candy folk, and look back at Scott to make sure he was still paying attention. When he wasn't, she'd get annoyed and develop a, what Scott called 'adorable' expression of her face.
When the two finally arrived the Inn, Scott was happy to see it. Scott opened the door and held it open, allowing the princess to walk in, in which she thanked him. They approached the candy man working as the room assigner, the princess waved her princess title and showed Scott to his room.
Upon walking down the appropriate hallway, and entering the room with the correct number. Scott was introduced to a room with a big two-person bed and a rounded table in the corner. There was a large dresser meant for holding any and all clothes. A door led to a bathroom that had a shower with see-through but heavily blurred glass, and a sink and toilet. The princess guided the man to a window were she showed him the path he should take to get to her castle the next day. Than she wished him a good nights rest before turning to leave, the man coughed loudly, causing her to turn and look at him.
"Something else?" She asked.
Scott looked at the hoodie, than back at her. "Uh, no, nothing at all."
The princess shrugged and left the room, leaving Scott to his privacy.
Scott took another look around again, before he went to the bathroom to take a piss. Than he collapsed on the bed, instantly falling asleep.
His dreams were plagued with nightmares of his arrival.
