Fixed On The Past
'I can't…I can't believe…..we almost…..' "Uh!" I walked down some empty hallway now. I stopped running a while back, and was too exhausted to keep on running at that pace for long. But luckily when I turned around no one was behind me. I didn't know where I was going but I needed to go somewhere where I could just be alone and think. 'Think? Think about what you two doing it?'"Stupid brain shut up." I said to myself once I passed an intersection in the hallway. I looked at sign on the intersection it said TS-4-8. When I ran out I saw a sign near the room that said TS-25-3 I really didn't know what they meant but I knew I must've been far from the room and Kendall. I kept on walking until I heard someone shout out my name, I turned and saw it was the girl from the infirmary. 'Uhh what was her name….oh! Camille! That's it.'I saw her run up to me but her wavy long brown hair was getting in the way she had to blow it away which made me laugh a little.
"What?" She asked when she stopped in front of me.
"Your hair, funny." She looked at me with a glare but threw it away with a smile.
"Do you remember anything is that why you're headed to your lab?"
"I have a lab?"
"I guess that's a no."
"I have a lab? What do I do exactly? Carlos and James didn't tell me, when they tried they confused each other."
"Figures, better yet I'll show you." She grabbed my wrist 'A lot of people have been doing that to me lately.' She led me around the corner to this big glass sliding door. She let out her hand to me.
"You're S.C.D." I stood there till I realized what she wanted.
"Oh ok." I said as I grabbed it from my pocket and handed it to her. She took it and like before with Carlos she swiped it in front of the keypad near the door and it flashed green and the doors slid apart. The room was huge, not to over exaggerate. The entire room was white but there were machines scattered all around the huge room. It was about the size of half the cafeteria and the cafeteria was huge. In the middle was a large table that had this half built machine on it while some wires were sticking out of it. "I still don't understand." I said when we walked in and up to the table.
"Here I'll show you." She said and led me to the corner of the room. In the corner there was plates of steel covering the corner and was littered with scorch marks from what I guess weapon fire on it. Right in front of it was a smaller table with a lot of different guns, and this little what looked like a gem separated from the guns. Camille grabbed the blue gem and showed it to me. It was about the size of my palm in the shape of a diamond but all the edges were covered with a black polished metal. It looked beautiful.
"What is it?" She smiled at me.
"You made it."
"I did? So I'm a jeweler?" She burst out laughing I still wasn't sure why it was so funny.
"Just grab that gun right there and shoot it when I tell you." She said once she calmed down from her laughing fit.
"Ok." I said still confused on what my job was. She stood where the steel was in the corner and touched the center of the gem, it glowed a bright blue before fading back to a low hue.
"Ok shoot me." She said with a smile.
"What!"
"Shoot me."
"I'm not going to shoot you!"
"Just do it." She said looking at me with a stern look. I looked down at the gun I was holding not sure if I should. I sighed heavily before pointing the gun at her.
"Fine, your funeral." She just smiled right back. I pointed the gun and pulled the trigger. A dark red ball of energy shot at her but it didn't hurt her. When it should have made contact, it kind of did. Instead of hitting her it hit this blue looking blanket that surrounded her blocking the red energy from hurting her. "W…..Wow."
"Yeah that's what you do. You make shields and defensive technology for The Station. You made this for Kendall and finished it a week ago. You wanted to give it to him so he wouldn't get hurt when he's out on a mission. And this is the first personal shield someone in our race has ever made. So it's a pretty big deal." She said with a smile, but I barely listened when she said Kendall 'That idiot why he have to go and ruin whatever we had.' Camille looked at me confused.
"Hey Logan you ok?"
"Huh oh yeah." I said still not really paying attention. I was too busy thinking about Kendall 'Stupid idiot.'
"Logan, you may not remember but we've been friends since we were eight I know when something is bothering you." She was probably right, I couldn't argue with her I wouldn't even recognize my parents if they were right in front of my face.
"It's Kendall." I said breathing out heavily running my hand through my hair.
"What about him?" I don't' know why but I caved in telling her everything when I met up with him back at our room. The talk, the ringtone, the kiss, the intense make out sessions (which made her burst out laughing), and then when he tried to take off my pants, and then me freaking out and running from him.
"Idiot." She said sternly.
"Who? Me?"
"No, Kendall. He should have known that you weren't ready for that. I mean you lost your memory and so far the only thing you remember is the ringtone you have from him."
"Well….that's not all." I said looking away from her.
"What you remember something else."
"Yeah but it's embarrassing."
"Come on tell me, you tell me everything. I mean I was the first person you told that you had a crush on Kendall."
"It was when we went into the training area slash gym as Carlos calls it. We met I guess one of our other friends."
"Jo?"
"Yeah. Well for some reason when she walked up and I noticed that she was all sweaty from sparring and image popped up in my head...of him."
"What do you mean image?"
"It wasn't so much an image as a memory of him doing…."
"Doing what?" She asked pushing me. I sighed and blushed heavily.
"It was a memory of him on top of me in bed; he was all sweaty and looking at me in the eyes." She looked at me with her eyes wide. Then she couldn't help but start laughing. She kept on laughing so hard she bent over in pain. And then kept on laughing and finally recovered after five minutes.
"Well at least I now know who the bottom in the relationship is, but I always expected it was you." All I could do to respond to her comment was blush. "But at least you're remembering things, even if they're only of him."
"Dude! Why'd you do that he's still scared shitless about this and you had to go and molest him!" I was sitting on my bed now full dressed in my uniform I haven't worn since I left for the mission. Sitting there I was being screamed at by both Carlos and James for being an idiot 'There right you're an idiot.'
"Don't you think I know that! I feel like shit now!" I said running my hands through my hair. "I just scared the crap out of the man I love!" I said putting my face in my hands.
"Kendall." I heard the Captain's voice; I looked up and saw him standing at the entrance.
"Sir." I said standing up. Carlos and James turned around and instantly saluted the captain when they saw him.
"At ease. Why is Logan out of the infirmary?"
"Is he not allowed to be?" I asked now confused.
"No, he still needs to be in observation. Our people have never had a case of Mind Exhaustion and have the patient survive. He needs to be kept under observation if any problems arise." I didn't know this.
"Crap." I said loud enough for people in the hallway to hear me.
"What is it Kendall?" He asked me a little curious why I swore in front of him
"I freaked him out and he ran out twenty minutes ago."I said sitting back down the bed.
"Elliot get security to track down Logan Mitchell's S.C.D. and put him under infirmary custody." The Captain said through his earpiece he was wearing. There was sound of a clicking noise and static.
"Yes sir."
"Crap."
"What?"
"I think my S.C.D. is broken." Logan said while fiddling with it. Camille grabbed it from him and looked at it.
"No it's just dead. Charge it when you get back to your room."
"Ok." Both Camille and Logan were walking out of his lab; Camille already put back the personal shield on the table where it was before.
"You wanna go get some late dinner?"
"Sure, I didn't get to eat earlier."
"Come on I know what you like to eat."
"Yeah supposedly everyone does." Camille laughed at Logan's joke as they made their way down corridor to the elevator.
There were other labs on this floor and most were filled with people. One looked like a group of people were having a party. They made it half way to through the corridor to the elevator when it opened up. Walking out were four not so nice looking men in military looking uniforms.
"Who are they?" Logan asked Camille.
"Security, but they don't make rounds until everyone's asleep, weird." The four men looked around and saw Logan and Camille in the middle of the corridor.
"Suspect sighted." One of the four said.
"Suspect?" Logan asked confused.
"Hey what are you do-" But Camille didn't get to finish because one of them shot her with a gun that shot out a green ball of energy.
"Camille!" Logan was able to catch her before she fell to the ground. Her eyes were closed; he checked her pulse. 'Oh god, good your still alive, whatever that was just knocked you out.' Logan set her down on the floor and looked up at the four men. When he did he saw them running at him pointing their guns at him. 'Crap!' Logan bolted down the corridor, but when he was about to turn he saw two more men in black military clothing block both the other hallways at the intersection. He turned around facing the four running at him. 'Looks like I have to fight my way out.'
He didn't even know if he could fight but he had to do something they attacked first he has to defend himself. He closed his eyes sighed heavily and opened them just in time as one of the men swung there fist out to his face. Logan was able to dodge it rather easily. He grabbed the fist bend it in a way that made the man fall to his knees screaming in pain. 'Whoa.' He saw another fist and somehow made the man on his knees spin by twisting his arm and making him fly to the one who was throwing a punch. They both collided and fell to the floor.
"Wow." Logan said quietly to himself he looked up and could tell the other four who were still standing were contemplating on how to attack him. 'I guess they didn't know I could fight…well neither did I.'Logan was brought out of his thoughts when a strong pair of arms grabbed him from the back and one of the other men ran up to him about to hit him with the hilt of his gun. Logan didn't even have to think to fight back his body did everything for him. As the man ran up to him he used the other mans weight to push him back and kick the one that was running up to him to the ground. He elbowed the man in the gut which made him let go slightly, he flung his elbow up and hit him in the jaw, and the man fully released him.
"You-" Logan didn't let him finish he swung around and kicked him with his foot in the man's face making him fall to the floor unconscious. He saw the one he kicked get up and run back up to him, this time about to tackle him. But Logan moved barely a nudge and avoided the tackle but at the same time grabbing the man by the back of the head and forcing his knee up to the man's face making him fall to the floor unconscious.
"Logan!" Logan looked up and saw Carlos, James, and Kendall running up to him, and an older looking man walking behind them.
"No!" Kendall yelled. Logan turned and saw the last security guard about to shoot him with his gun, but Logan kicked it out of his hands. Logan ran to the man and jumped up making his left knee hit the man in the face making him fall to the floor unconscious. Kendall stood there shocked, he knew Logan was good at fighting but he didn't think he could take out six members of the Captain's personal security without breaking a sweat. Logan turned around just in time to see the older man that was with his friends point a gun at him and fire. The green energy hit him and made him fall to the floor unconscious.
"Sir! I was gonna get him under control!" Kendall yelled when he knelt down in front of Logan.
"He attacked my men."
"He's not in his right mind!" James screamed and then the Captain gave him a glare. "Sorry Sir." James said looking down at the floor.
"Exactly, that was why he needed to be restrained."
"But you didn't have to shoot him!" Kendall yelled not caring that it was the Captain of the Station he was yelling at.
"He provoked my men and me. I had to do it for the safety of the people on the Station."
"Umm Sir?" Everyone turned around to see some people standing out of the lab that was having a party. "Your men attacked him sir. He was walking with that girl." The man said pointing to Carlos holding Camille in his arms. "Your men came out of the elevator and stunned her and chased him down to the intersection of the corridor. They attacked him first; he was just trying to defend himself from all of them, sir." The captain didn't say anything; he simply turned on his heels and headed down the corridor to the staircase on the opposite side of the elevator.
"Take him to the infirmary." Kendall didn't wait he picked up Logan up bridal style and ran down to the elevator. James right behind him, and Carlos catching up holding Camille the same way Kendall was holding Logan as they made their way into the elevator.
Logan was slowly and groggily waking up with a headache hitting him when he started to part his eyes open. 'Ooowwww my head.'Logan thought as he sat up trying to rub his side of his heads, but his hands were caught onto something. He looked down and saw he was cuffed to a bed.
"He's waking up!" Logan heard a blond boy with green eyes shout out, he was sitting but when he yelled he stood up. In came a woman in white and two boys, one taller with brown hair, and the other shorter and looked of Latin decent to him.
"Logan? Do you know where you are?" He shook his head, he didn't recognize the place but he could tell it was some kind of hospital, because he's been in so many when he visited his mother.
"Do you know who I am?" Kendall said grabbing Logan's left hand and looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Déjà vu." Carlos said whispering to James. Logan again shook his head and all hope that was in the blonde boys eyes fell.
"Do you know who you are?" The women asked Logan, he nodded which just got confused looks from everyone in the room. "What is your name?" Logan put up his hand and moved his right hand making five different signs with his hand.
"Where am I?" Logan signed to everyone, no one knew what to do but stare at him with confused looks. Before they could ask him anymore questions Camille came running in.
"Logan!" She said running up to him. "Are you ok? They said the security guards attacked us, but that you kicked some serious ass!" She said hugging Logan. Logan looked at her with a confused look.
"Do I know you?" Camille got confused to why he was signing.
"Yes you know me. Why are you signing?"
"Wait you understand him?" Kendall asked to Camille.
"Yeah, anytime you ditched us when we were younger he taught me everything he knew. I'm really rusty cause I haven't signed in awhile since the incident with his parents, but I still remember." Logan put his hand on her shoulder to get her attention.
"What incident with my parents!" Logan signed hastily.
"You don't remember?"
"No. What incident?"
"What is he saying?"
"He doesn't remember what happened to his parents." Everyone tensed up.
"Where are my parents?" Logan signed straining his hands to sign against the cuffs that were keeping him stuck on the bed.
"What year is it?"
"What why?"
"Please just, what year is it?"
"It's…4713." Camille eyes became wide when she saw him sign that.
"He thinks it's 4713."
"What that was nine years ago." Kendall said looking at Camille.
"What?"
"Logan, can you tell me everything you remember?" He nodded and started to sign frantically, he was just as confused as they were.
"My parents, my mom being sick and staying at the hospital on Merana, they said she could come back to the Station next week and…..and that's all. I can't remember anything else. What happened to my parents?"
"He said he only remembers his parents nothing else."
"My parents where are they!"
"...Dead."
"What?"
"A year after your mom came back to the Station they decided to move back to Merana, you were going with them but you stayed back because you still had some school things to finish up before you left. Two days before you were going to go, Merana was attacked by the Lancian's, they leveled the planet. No one survived." Logan didn't say anything; he just stared off into the blank white wall in front of him.
"What did you tell him?"
"About his parents." Kendall tensed up; when this first happened it was hard. For everyone on the Station, but mostly for Logan. He was the only one who had family on that planet, when he found out he broke down, he wouldn't eat, sleep, talk, or do anything. For an entire month he was mute, the only time he talked was with his hands and only with Camille, and that was only because he taught her. Kendall, Carlos, and James were going to start learning from Camille a month after the attack and him becoming mute, but one day he spoke. Out of the blue, asking them if they all wanted to go get some lunch.
"Can you leave me alone?" Logan signed slowly to Camille. She only nodded and motioned everyone to get out of the room. The group walked out and looked at the Sopheine for any answer she could give them.
"It seems like this could be a side effect of his version of Mind Exhaustion. The stress from the drones messed with his memories. From what I can tell he'll only remember sections of his life."
"That's why he can only remember his parents from 4713?"
"Yes, each of these rooms has MRI's built into them, while Camille was talking to him I scanned his brain. The part of it where it holds his memories isn't fully active like it should be; only parts of it are currently working. But from the last MRI I did to him when he woke up the first time it seems like it's slowly getting better. But it could take day's weeks even until he can remember everything completely."
Everyone stopped listening to the conversation when they all heard it. It was hard for everyone but for Kendall it felt like his heart was breaking all over again. It was Logan breaking down and crying about his parents.
"I'll go check up on him." Kendall said walking back into the room to see Logan head buried in his hands sobbing uncontrollably. Kendall walked up and pulled him into a hug, he could feel Logan tense up but he didn't care. But what Kendall didn't imagine was Logan returning the hug and gripping onto Kendall's shirt. They stayed like that and when Logan didn't notice, Kendall unlocked the cuffs that were keeping Logan restrained to the bed. It took a few minutes for Logan to calm down from his sobs to quiet whimpers. Kendall cupped Logan by his chin and made him look up at him.
"Hi. I'm Kendall."
