Same as before, low reviews makes me less motivated to update. Good or bad just looking for feedback.

Chapter 2: This is really… my life?

A… Black Out? He remembered using that term before, but it was back at Providence. Not this Providence the other one, ah it was all so confusing. It was the term he used when he would suddenly lose all his memories, yet that couldn't be the case here as he remembered everything, just not like this.

He remembered everything, he was an agent of Providence along with Agent Six and Holiday, he was friends with Noah who was originally White Knight's spy, and he never knew who his parents were all while looking for his long lost brother. How was all of that different now?

But he knew he wasn't going to get any answers by asking himself, so he asked the good doctor before him. "What do you mean? I don't feel like I have had a Black Out."

Holiday gently took her hands off of the baffled teen's shoulders and made her way back to her desk, gently passing a folder across for him to see. He couldn't make heads or tails of what this was; the only thing he could make out was it was from a hospital. "You had an accident about five years ago; actually it was just after you presented your scholarship entry."

She went on to inform him that he was hit by a gas explosion when he walked by a restaurant that recently went out of business. Physically he only suffered minor scraps and bruises, but ever since that incidences he would suffer from periods of memory lapses, very unique memories lapses according to her.

They have yet to classify his specific type of memory lapses; Reverse Dreaming was the best they could come up with at the time. She stated that he would have vivid dreams in which he would integrate reality into it; such as believing he worked for an organization called Providence, while in fact he just got that from the name of the school, having no memory of his family due to the belief they died in an explosion he dubbed 'The Event', people he knew in different ways, and other such things. Where after this, he would believe this dream to be reality.

In such case, he would forget who he really was, aka these Black Outs. It turned out his parents already had a feeling that he had another one after he started suggesting EVOs, something it turns out he has done each time after having a Black Out, and informed Holiday to keep her eyes on him today since their families have been friends for years.

However didn't say anything at the time due to the fact they were instructed if he showed signs of this Black Out again to simply act as it was a normal day, as confronting him on this outside of a comfortable setting might have caused him to panic. Something he admits he probably would have, as he was completely creped out by this sudden change.

She lastly stated that it had been over a year since his last Black Out, and everything was looking very promising until today. Though to Rex, this all still felt completely unreal, as nothing about this school or that home felt familiar. But could it be true? Could all of what he remembered be nothing but a dream he believed to be real?

"Rex. If you are still having trouble believing all this, check the front pocket of your backpack. If anything, that should clear up everything." Holiday instructed, yet her tone sounded much softer, like she would usually sound after he was nearly killed in a mission.

Though he did what she said, grabbing the backpack he rested by his seat and opened the small pouch at the very front. There, he found a strange hand held device with a blank screen, wondering if this could be what he believed it was. "After the first Black Out, you started to make a journal so you could remember. Stay here for the rest of the school day, I have things I need to do first so I will be back in an hour to check up on you. You probably need time to yourself after all of this."

"Sister!" The door suddenly burst open to the startle of the two in the room, where stood a dyed blond girl with a bob cut hair, flashy lipstick, spider styled hanging earrings and matching necklace, all in a neat blue business suit with skirt and high heel shoes walked into the room. "Are you ready for our little lunch date?"

"I told you Jeda, I am too busy today." Her voice returned to that stern voice as she addressed her sister, having no mood to deal with her sister's crazy antics right now.

Forming a childish pout with those flashy lips of hers, she replied. "Oh come on sis, we haven't spent any time in the past week together," whining as she rushed over to hug her lovely sister, "come on, please."

Only to realize now the young boy she instantly recognized sitting in front of her. "Rex. Oh it has been so long and you have grown up so much."

This strange woman suddenly hugged him, where he remembered who she was. She was that Spider EVO they kept in The Hold at Providence. This girl who was a mutant incurable spider EVO was hugging them like they have been friends for years. This all still felt so unreal.

She unlatched her inescapable hug, feeling as if she still had the strength of an EVO, where he could tell she could read the utter confusion that was plastered on his face. "Come on now Rexy; don't tell me you forgot about me. You can really break a woman's fragile heart doing that." She stated while she pretended to wipe a tear from her eye.

"Rex." Doctor Holiday calmly, yet forcefully asked. "You remember my sister Jeda, right?"

"Oh its ok, sis. It is so heartbreaking this boy forgot such a cute face such as mine." She added sadly, only to quickly change her tone with a wink. "Kidding, it has been a few years since we saw each other last, no big deal; now about that lunch."

"I said no Jeda."

"Awww and I finally got some time to come her to work on business."

"Now Rex, just take your time while I get some errands done." Holiday instructed as she swiftly left the room, only for her sister to follow her out.


Rex was still suspicious about all of this. First of all he awoke in a bedroom he had no memory of, found a family that claimed they were his, went to a school that happened to be named Providence, and other little things that just felt way to weird for him. Not to mention this little device in his hand was supposed to reveal to him what the truth was; at this moment he couldn't even begin to understand what really was true anymore.

Yet at the same time, he knew there would be no harm in checking it out. So with a simple push of a button the screen lit up with countless files, with the first being labeled Introduction. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what he should push first.

After activating it, he saw none other than his own smiling face in a video talking right to him. "Well if your watching this that means you had another Black Out again, man these things can be such a pain; so welcome to 'You 101'."

This was just completely strange to the teen with jet black hair, as he could never recall ever taping himself or ever making this video. Did he really just lose his memory? "Now there is a lot of various information that I have been updating on a daily basis so you should be caught back up by the weeks end at the latest. So right now I will just hand out the basics, and then you can go nuts on figuring out who you are."

"You have everything from family information all the way to a list of girls you find cute at this school. And believe me this school is packed with them, of course you would believe me because you are me after all. Secretly it was one of the main reasons you worked so hard for that scholarship."

Rex could only nervously smile to this comment, as he did believe that would have been one of the reasons he would have work so hard. Does that mean this all could be real? Still not fully sure as absolutely nothing about this 'normal' life of his felt anything close to familiar.


He spent the rest of the school day in that office, going over the countless files he had while getting questions answered by Dr. Holiday once she returned to her office.

Everything was still so strange to him, feeling like if he went to bed he will find out all of this 'normal' will turn out to have really been nothing more than a dream. Yet at the same time if this was a dream, this was a very realistic dream. Nothing was out of the ordinary, and everyone of his questions seemed to be answered in a sensible manner, and everything seemed to fit into place.

With the final bell, he made his way out of the office. He told Holiday to inform his 'parents' that he will be back 'home' later, stating he was just going 'for a long walk'. Mainly just to clear his head, and make sense out of everything that was going on.

With the help of his journal, he easily found his locker and entered the code it gave him. Where the locker opened, he at least knew he could trust that fact. After he opened it, he was a bit surprised on what he saw: semi-messy mixed with some skateboard, motorcycle stickers and some school books for the classes he didn't have homework; all-and-all another scene where if it was him, felt like this is exactly like how he would have had it. Was this all real? If it wasn't, and someone just had him in some sort of trap, that someone really went to extreme detail to do so.

After just throwing all of his books in, as he didn't want to lug them wherever he was going to walk, to he slammed the door shut, as if venting some frustration of all the confusion he has gone through today. So now that was all taken care of, Rex activated his journal yet again, and searched some information.

One of the key things he wanted to try out was something he found on that device very recently. According to the 'him' on the screen, he created a program to help him remember people. Simply, he would just point and shoot with the camera, the device will scan all of the pictures in its database, and link him to all the information he had on them. Very useful for the situation he was in right now.

So just after he closed his locker, he started to play with that by using it on the random students that happened to pass by on their way out of their school. A pretty handy gadget it turned out to be; most of the students he didn't really know just gave him the information one could have found just by checking a website profile: like age, what class he might know them in, why he knows them, and in particular if it was a girl, would have a one to five hearts to rate her cuteness; so far not a single girl was rated below a three.

The information for people he knew however where much more detailed: adding phone numbers, addresses, specific things they did together, and other such things. Despite the fact he still felt that this place was not real, at least this would certainly help with getting around until he settled everything.

But to his surprise, the next girl his program revealed to him was a girl he was quite familiar with. The program revealed the name of a girl with short black hair that hid her face to be Briana Teach. He nearly jumped back from this sight as he couldn't help but remember her as that four armed EVO that locked him in her mental 'dollhouse' of hers.

Watching as he could see that one yellowish-green eye just behind her hair glared at him, whom he believed was because he was unable to hide his surprise to the girl before him. "Yes?" She shot back defensively, unconsciously causing him to step back. "What do you want?"

"N-Nothing, sorry." He replied, trying to get his focus back. Only for his luck he bumped into a muscular jock, which Rex could tell by the blue football jersey the guy wore. He knew he looked familiar, but managed to get a quick scan of the guy.

The name it gave was Jake Biowulfe, that blue robotic wolf guy he would always fight was this jock who stood before him. After that, it wasn't hard to deduce who the tall fat guy in a green shirt whom stood next to him was. Not to mention it didn't help him that the devise told him, just like how he remembered him, registered him as an enemy. "Watch where your going, loser." Biowulfe declare in an insulting tone before purposely pushing Rex out of his way with his elbow.

"Yeah, loser." The guy his devise registered as Salam Anderson repeated in the same insulting tone before he bumped him out of the way as well in a similar manner. It was all still so weird to this teenager that, despite still being jerks, were not their overpowered EVOs he knew them to be.

After he watched the two jerks walk past him, he looked back over at Breach… 'Briana' who just finished up with what ever she was doing in her locker, but what he managed to see was she kept everything in there very neat and organized. Then with one more glare at him, turned around, and walked away. Despite remembering her as a member of The Pack, in his device she wasn't registered as an enemy, if anything it revealed her cute level to be four out of five; which now that it mentioned it. She actually was kind of cute from what he managed to see behind her hair, and she wasn't trying to kidnap him.

But if they were here, that meant Circe must be here as well. With that in mind, he quickly scanned those files and soon found her. Just like he expected, she had five hearts by her name. That out of the way, he read into the other information. First thing, her name was Donna Milton and she was registered as a friend, just friends.

Rex couldn't help but be a bit depressed at that fact, yet on the other hand was glad they weren't enemies. Suddenly he shook his head again, knowing he had to stop thinking like that. There was no way all of this he was experiencing was real, despite how real it felt. It wasn't like he was in another dimension, as he has been informed he has supposedly gone through this before.

It seemed like, no matter what Rex was told, he couldn't believe that everything he does remember was nothing more than a dream. Despite the fact that this was a wonderful life, being treated more as a human then a weapon just to fight EVOs, he knew it wasn't real. He was sure this wasn't real. No! He knew this for a fact it wasn't real regardless of all the evidence that was presented to him.

Suddenly, he felt something metal hit the back of his hard head. He knew for sure he didn't have nanites as it wouldn't have hurt as much as it did. He quickly sat down, gripping the back of his head with both hands, just as he heard a familiar voice, and with the sound of that voice knew he should have expected this. "Oh I am so sorry Rex," turning around to see, none other than the Annie, a girl who truly lived up to her nick name 'Blond Widow', looking at her bandaged covered fingers over her mouth. Though he did doubt he would recognize her without some sort of bandage on herself, "just hold right there as I have some bandages in my locker."

Just after she reached into her locker for her First Aid Kit, accidently knocked over some of her books right onto his head, pretty thick books too. "Oh I'm sorry," she pleaded to the soon needing an emergency room teenager, "let me just take you to the nurse's…"

"It's alright, I'm fine." Rex stated, at most just trying to avoid anymore life threatening situations. How could a girl be this cute yet at the same time so disaster prone? Not to mention in an ironic twist, his device stated she was president of the Extreme Sports Club, and had a cuteness level of four. "I will just walk it off."

"Are you sure?" She asked with genuine care. He knew she didn't mean any of it, but without his nanites he didn't have the confidence of surviving the thirty foot walk with her to the nurse's office.

"Yeah I'm fine," Rex said as he stood back up, shaking it all off. "Don't worry about it Annie."

"If you say so Rex, so," watching as she shyly looked away from him while her finger played with a stray strand of her short blond hair, "have a good day."

However in her rush to get out of there, she slammed her locker so hard it bounced back, right into Rex's semi-expecting face.


For Rex it was his dumb luck that incident didn't give him any serious injuries, although those dizzy spells he got from time-to-time were of no help as he tried his best to walk down that city's sidewalk. Rubbing his sore nose, just glad at the fact it wasn't broken.

But now that was all behind him, he needed to focus back on what he intended to do before all of this happened; figure out how he got here and how to get back.

Rex walked around the city for over an hour, looking for anything out of the ordinary he could use to figure out if this was really just a dream. However, after all this time there was nothing, absolutely nothing, that could reassure him. Everywhere he looked the only word that kept coming to him was 'normal'.

He couldn't believe it; everywhere he looked it was just completely normal. The people, the city, everything was as normal as a town could be but yet at the same time not in a creepy sense like in those horror films.

So could this mean that all of this was real? Was what 'this' Doctor Holiday told him the truth, that the world he believed to be true was nothing more than a dream and this was reality. Yet he knew that just couldn't be true, as his memories of his reality went far back, too long to simply be just a dream.

He had to try, at least one more time, to see if this was all just a dream could still be the plausible answer. He has been in this city before in his memories; however he had not been in some locations, one of those places being the alleyway.

Quickly, he dashed his way in, not knowing what to expect. It could have been an empty void, a glitch filled area, or something else.

But alas, despite never being in this place before, it was still perfectly normal. Rex wondered, could it all be true, and everything he remembered was nothing more than some dream he gained due to some accident? His eyes squeezed tightly shut as he rubbed his throbbing head, questioning how it could all be possible."

"Hey there," a smug voice behind him spoke out, "we've been looking for you, Rex."
