Hitoshi comes too with His vision blurry

and his head pounding in time with his heartbeat.

an almost silent groan escaped him

as he raised his head and opened his eyes

and stared up at the ceiling of the cell he had been 'living' in

for almost 8 years, ten hours, and 58 seconds now

waiting for something to happen, the Doctors coming for

more experiments or one of the guards coming into the cell

to try to make him kill again, raising his right hand

Hiroshi stared at where his... claws popped out when he 'wanted'

them too. he swallowed the stale air in the building

blinking away the blood that his hands were covered in.

"it's not real. It's not real. You are not there anymore, your

back with the doctor again..."

he thought to himself as he popped his single middle claw

leaving his other two inside his hand for now.

"it hurt when they popped out still but... not anymore

more like it burned. ...burned like when the metal was

mused with his bones. burned like the liquid that he shallowed

as he fought to get out of the glass coffin he was drowning in

burned like the bang of wine glasses the doctors were drinking from as he drowned in front of them.

suddenly footsteps come down to his cell

and he stood up and his claw went back inside his hand again,

standing staring at the 10-inch thick metal cage

he had been tripped in for the last 8 years.

the scent of Vide his handler made the 15-year-old relax a little

he stared at the door that opened and he sees the blue

the haired blue eyed blue-skinned handler that was

the only one that was kind to him,

Vide was holding a bowl of oatmeal that was so bad

that the doctors who were so tight-lipped normally complained

about it, the guards complained too only

it hurt because they take their anger out on him, Hitoshi's shoulders dropped seeing that bowl.

Vide nodded looking at Him sadly.

they both know that Hitoshi needed more than very runny oatmeal to stay healthy, but... no one else cared about the

young experiment but Vide who was just his handler.

a week went by

Hitoshi would wake up with blurry vision from the experiments

sometimes his body would burn as it healed the damage

from them, sometimes his bones burned like when the metal

was put in. sometimes he woke up in Phantom pain from the metal going in.

as the doctors would pour acid on him to test his healing,

finally, it was mission week,

a week full of missions, not the pain of Acid, not the pain

of different liquids in his bloodstream. not the pain in his body

fighting to repair the damage done for 'science',

just him and Vide training somewhere where no one else could

touch them. Vide comes in looking pleased and in his arms

were clothing a lightly armored suit of black Kevlar.

and a dark indigo visor. his handler was in a more armored

kevlar suit. black was the main color again and he had his

own blue visor in his dark blue mop of hair,

they both had Black boots with metal in the souls.

quickly he dressed and followed his handler out of his cell
