I'm back! I'm glad that the story is doing...decently enough. A large thank you to hendo2031 for being the first to follow and favorite one of my random ideas. Onto *Clap* the story! *More clapping*

Chapter 2

Getting started

Skylah P.O.V

I am eternally grateful that my brother managed to fight his way back to me and Eadeath took us in...but WHY IN THE HELL DOES HE GET ALL THE FUCKING ATTENTION FROM THE PRIME MINISTER. Not that I'm complaining much. That fucking cow can go choke on the pig dick he seems to enjoy eating so much. (A.N. Funny story my grammar check wanted me to change pig to big...HAHA I almost put it there for shits and giggles but I don't do that around here. I do other forms of cheap laughs )

So in the last 4 years that we have been in the empire quite a few things have happened to us. Jaden became a fucking general in 1 WEEK! HOW THE HELL? Jaden went down as the fastest person to ever rise to the rank of general in history. It took me another year of training to get to become a general. 1 FUCKING YEAR! Sure I'm the youngest general ever but STILL WHY IS JADEN SO FUCKING FAST!

Anyway, that chick Jaden had a crush on? Yeah, she's dead. The Prime Minister's son took a liking to her. Not pretty what happened to her after being alone with that dick for longer than an hour. I will never forget the anger boiling inside of him that day. It still sends shivers down my spine.

Speaking of shivers, the ice queen is dead set on being straight. Meaning she won't let me at least smash. So now neither of the siblings are straight, you got a proud lesbian and a not-so-happy asexual.

Jaden will walk it off eventually, right? I still want nephews and nieces to spoil rotten.

Jaden is ironically the least feared of the generals. You would think that a one-man army(more like fifty) would at least have a nation or two that feared the shit out of him but no. Jaden doesn't even look like a part of the army, he dresses in all black(what is it with main guys and wearing black? Is he a part of some cult or something?), a simple sweater, and pants(I don't even know if he wears a shirt). That's it, the only thing that sticks out about him is the rings he has on his fingers.

Meanwhile, I dress to impress(*cough Esdeath cough*) and wear a similar outfit that Esdeath wears. Although due to the lack of...something, I have to button up my top. Although the heels are great, I could pop a guy's nut sack with these.

Why does Jaden look like he's going to wack me? Can he read my mind or something? Anyway, Jaden has been going on little 'trips'. He goes around killing people he doesn't deem worthy of life.

Like right now, Jaden is covered in blood. "This is why I wear black you know," He said with a bit of dry humor lining the inside of his voice.

"You know you don't have to kill some bastard every week. It's the way the empire is, just let it be" I said with a shrug. I don't get why Jaden is trying so hard to change the empire. I couldn't give two fucks about the future as long as Esdeath is involved I'm not going to die and I'll enjoy it.

He flicked a piece of flesh off his shoulder, "No way. Fuck that. The way empire is, that's what placed us in this situation. Therefore I will use it to its fullest extent. So no one else has to do the work I'm doing"

How noble of him. Too bad its a waste

Then someone entered the room. Mommy- sorry, Mommy- sorry, Mommy-sorry. Jaden smacked the back of my head as if he could read my thoughts and decided to cut off my train of thought.

He had the most annoyed look on his face I've seen in a while. "Stop your simpery or I'll ask Esdeath to wear a heavy coat."

I shook my head to clear my thoughts on Mommy-

*Smack*

"Sorry," I said as I rubbed the back of my skull.

God fucking god, if you had told Jaden he would be dealing with a sister who shamelessly simps for the most dangerous and craziest woman possibly in the universe, he'd thank you for the warning and wish you a good day.

Good grief, it's like she does this shit on purpose.

Honestly, I just need a break. I don't want to be Jaden, master of metal, the thousand slayer, the fastest rank climber in history, or any of that shit. I just want to be Jaden...Holy fuck... it's been so long I've forgotten my last name.

Thankfully Esdeath left so I could sit down and have an early midlife crisis. Holy fuck...how old am I again?

I grabbed my sister's hand before she could leave me in the room alone. "Sis...I need you to be dead honest with me"

"Okayyyyy..."

"What the hell is our last name?"

"You baka its...its...oh shit"

Next thing you know we were sitting back to back throwing out random last names.

"Bob?"

"What the hell Skylah?"

"Brown?"

"No"

"Smith?"

"Do I look white to you?"

"Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff?"

"What the fuck? What book are you reading that from?"

"This book of world records"

A small metal hand formed and slapped it out of her hands.

"Takao?"

"Bulky man or warrior? Not really either of us"

"Yeah, but it's the last name, what matters is how it sounds."

"Let's see Jaden Bob...For some reason that doesn't sound right"

"No shit Jackass Skylah Takao. Not bad"

"Let me try Jaden Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff?"

"Very funny bitch"

"Wow, you have no shortage of insults huh? What's next mother fucker?"

"Listen here, you dirty mother-...never mind"

"That's what I thought."

Soon enough we chose to let it die. When one of us gets married or some shit like that, we'll take the last name of our spouse. Both of us.

"So how old are we?" I asked

Skylah let out a groan, "Come on Jaden your 4 years older than me and I'm...I'm...14? Wait...16?...No 20? No...that's not it...I'm...I'm stumped"

Esdeath walked in, "Jaden you reek, it's not like you to sit there soaking up blood. You never even sat in your own blood for longer than you had to"

"Fuck your right"

"And Skylah your 17."

"Ah so close!"

I'm 21...why do I feel like I evoked some kind of joke?

I hurried off to leave skylah with Mommy- Fuck I'm doing it now too.

After a nice shower, I headed into the city.

I heard a small voice call out to me and I saw a girl running towards me while dragging a dog-like object on a leash with her orange hair pulled into a ponytail.

"Ah Seryu, are you delivering justice like your old man wanted to?" I said with a small chuckle. She had her moments that made me worry about her sanity but more often than not she's just a regular girl.

"Yes General Jaden Sir," She said with a salute, and her dog, Koro as she calls him tried to copy her.

"At ease soldier. Just call me Jaden when we're alone, I hate all that formality" I said waving my hands down.

The girl became rather attached to me after I helped her catch some bandits and helped increase her training. She had lost her father not too long ago. He was a good man but he followed orders blindly. Then she lost her captain who was supposedly quite good to her. Orge I believe his name was.

"Yes sir-I mean Jaden"

"So koro looks hungry, you feed him yet?"

"Not yet, we were headed down now to find some criminals"

I held back a gag at how cheerful she was about that. She was feeding her dog people...did she not see anything wrong with that? She's a bit older than the kids I am normally very good with(The emperor had started learning things from me at an increasing rate much to the annoyance of Honest) so maybe I can help nudge her in the right direction.

I pulled out a sack of meat from my backpack that I formed out of metal.

"Here Koro being as sweet as he is shouldn't wait. It's still relatively fresh" I said as I placed the sack into the eager...paws/hands/arms/legs of the dog.

Thankfully Koro poured all of it within its massive jaws in one bite.

"Thank you, sir," Seryu said.

"So do you have any plans tonight?" I asked as we walked

A light blush crossed her face, "Sir are you sure that's appropriate. I'm just a grunt"

I mentally facepalmed. Did she think I was asking her out? Is that what happens when I'm nice and feed people's dogs?

"Ah, Seryu I meant if you had any plans because I was curious...I wasn't planning on taking anyone anywhere"

"Oh, my bad sir," Seryu said, quite clearly embarrassed about assuming such a thing.

"What did I say about calling me sir?"

"Right- Jaden. My bad"

As we kept on walking. I whispered as we passed posters that were posted along the walls of the empire. "I heard that you were staying out late at night. You're not by any chance trying to find Night Raid are you?"

"How did-"

"There is very little that goes on around the army that I don't know about"

"Well I have" She seemed to be slipping back into the formalities

"By all means, Seryu, continue but there is one thing I want you to know. Don't engage by yourself and I don't mean do it with Koro. Call for me right away"

"Why is that?"

I stopped walking and grabbed her by the shoulders. "I don't want to lose another life that I could have protected. You could blame Orge's death or even your fathers death on me because I wasn't around"

"You were on your missions. It couldn't have been helped"

I let out a sigh. "I'm the type that blames myself for everything. If I had done my job faster maybe your father or your captain could still be here right now."

"Well you shouldn't"

"Seryu just promise me. You will not engage with Night Raid alone. You understand me right? Never alone. I don't care what their numbers are. I don't care if there are 8 or even one. Never go alone. I want to be there when you do. As you said, you are a grunt"

"I promise general" She stuttered out, most likely due to me shaking her with every word.

"Now promise me as your friend"

"I promise" Satisfied I let go.

"Now let's go to this sweet bakery I heard about, maybe you should get Koro a better diet, I mean all human meat could get him sick if the person had some kind of extra bacteria in their bodies"

"Oh my god, your right! Maybe I should change his diet a bit"

"Yeah even if he couldn't die from it, it could hurt him or cause him some discomfort"

After I separated from Seryu soon after I was nearly knocked over by a blonde-haired woman with a tube top.

"Sorry 'bout that cutie!" She yelled as she ran past me.

Then a bunch of men followed but stopped in their tracks when they saw me. "That can't be..."

So skylah was wrong about my name not being feared

"Alright, fella's I assume she owes you money. I'll gladly pay for her. If the amount you ask for is unreasonable," I said lifting my hand and tendrils of metal shot out of my back, "I suggest you turn now after you take one of these sacks of coins" I said as I threw sacks on the ground. Enough for all of them.

"If I don't like the amount you ask for, I'll kill you" Lucky for me those sacks probably had enough to pay for their rent for the next 5 months each. I would have done one but knowing these fools would probably blow it so at least most of them could at least try and pay rent.

In the end, they all took a sack and I recalled that woman's face. You owe me a favor

I went on to kill several danger beasts that were terrorizing people outside the empire. The Emperor lets me have free rein to leave the empire as I please as long as I give the kid a nice normal conversation and a cool figurine(Read toy) that I make right in front of his eyes. It was fairly easy to take a block of wood and use my metal to file it down into the shape of something. Sometimes I would use metal, really depends on what he wants. He's a good kid, just being manipulated by a horrible pig.

So Jaden came back in like he was mauled by a tiger the size of a dragon. He was lucky night had nearly fallen and he made it back safely...as safely as he could at least.

"What the hell happened to you?" I asked as I wrapped his torso with a bandage.

"I got ganged up out there by like 30 tigers the size of fucking dragons," He said with a wince

Well, the more you know. I hope he can't hear me but I want one.

"You know it isn't the best idea to get hurt. Without Reiki around you, aren't guaranteed to fully recover from everything" I lightly chided him

He looked at me with one eye open. "Oh wow I never knew that. Thank you for your ever so keen insight that I would have never have known without your help"

I yanked the bandage tighter causing him to wince again.

"Just be more careful, despite what everyone thinks, you're not made of metal," I said

He stopped as he considered something. "Well kinda. I coat my organs with metal"

I stopped working. "Is it even safe to have that stuff in your body?"

"No clue"

Fucking idiot I thought to myself as I continued my work. Well, to be fair I would probably take that a step further if I was in his shoes.

After I finished I gave a small report. "Your side is fine, nothing vital was chopped, and it's only a matter of regrowing the lost body parts. I doubt you could do that on your own so I suggest going to that gay guy"

"Dr. Stylish? Fuck him" He said thoroughly weirded out. I don't exactly blame him for that.

I was then hit with one of the best jokes I've ever come up with. "Don't be a coward, go fuck him yourself."

Maybe that wasn't as good as I thought... based on his reaction he wanted to get 30 meters away from me.

So after I left Jaden in his bed, I thought that he would stay there and rest as I went on to go see if there were any hot chicks around.

Sadly there wasn't and Jaden did the opposite of staying in bed.

He became my wingman.

After covering his wound, Jaden went out and dragged me to a place with a fountain and started flirting with nearly every girl there.

Thankfully he didn't go right off the bat just like hey, want to go out? I also got a sister over there who likes girls know anyone she might like?

Based on the way he was talking to everyone, you would think he knows them.

"Hey, how are you?" He said with a large smile on his face

"uh-good"

"Where you headed? I'm personally just staying around this area. My sister wants me to stick around"

"Ah...I was just going shopping with a friend"

Jaden gave her a light pat on the shoulder. "That's cool. Would you and your friend happen to be single? My sister would like to know"

"Ah- I'm not looking for a relationship but my friend is big on girls," The girl said as if she was hypnotized.

"Well do you mind if my sister and I tag along?"

"Well sure as long as you don't think of it as a date or anything," She said, seemingly grabbing her bearings.

He flicked his head back shaking his hair out of his face. "Of course not. I can't stay for too long anyway. I was thinking of picking up a small snack with you guys and leaving you to do your own thing"

He motioned over to me and I felt people staring at me. Might be due to my long black hair that I take pride in.
As I walked closer to the girl Jaden was talking to, I heard her whisper. "My god both of them are hot"

"Ah shucks, you flatter us too much," Jaden said looking quite cheeky.

Soon another girl joined us and Jaden bought all of us ice cream and gave us a small bow before leaving. Leaving me with 2 very cute girls.

Hehe, he spoils me sometimes.

Ahah My cheeks hurt. Fucking god I hate acting like that.

I'm 90% sure if anyone that knew me saw me acting like that they would assume I'm high or something.

I just imagine that conversation as I'm trying to whoo a girl for skylah. Someone I know would be like. "How high are you right now?"

Then I would respond with. "Incredibly. So how about we get some Sake?"

I let out a small groan. I grabbed at my side that I had patched up with metal. As I passed through a poor part of town I held up my Ice cream. "Any little kids want this? It's uneaten and fresh from the rich part of town."

No one came over. "I'm General Jaden! Owner of Metalwork" I added. It was well known I never come towards children with hostile intent.

A few kids came over, looking far dirtier and skinner than any child should. I gave the ice cream to the skinniest child and emptied my pockets. I was able to send all of them home with a bit of candy and some cash.

Sucks that they have to deal with this. All the more fuel that will burn down the empire. It just needs to catch some more of the sparks.

I hurried home as it was still getting dark out. I hit the sack, ready to go to sleep.

.

(A few hours later)

.

My eyes shot open. Something wasn't right. I strained my ears to be greeted with the sound of gunshots. Fuck...It's night time and I hear a gun.

Seryu was staying out to fight Night Raid.

Crap I thought as I scrambled out of bed throwing on some better clothes. Seryu I would have been woken up for something like this! Why the hell did you go against my orders. I still wanted to talk with Night Raid.

I winced as my side protested against my movements. I spun a bit and rammed my foot into the window handle. Unnessicary? Yes. Cool? Possibly. Pain? Most defiantly.

I don't act normal most of the time, let me have this.

I jumped out landing on my feet. Did that hurt? Not really.

I started running at a decent pace to make sure I wasn't late to the fight but also so my side wouldn't be a bitch.

Soon enough I was greeted by the scene of Seryu would the most demonic face I've seen in a while, with both of her arms chopped off, and a gun sticking out of her throat. Koro was bigger and redder than normal squeezing the life out of a pink girl but the hand holding the girl was sliced off. And lastly a night raid assassin. Sheele I believe.

From what I could see, Sheele turned her back on Seryu to save her friend.

"Seryu! Stop!" I shouted. Naturally, she didn't seem to hear me and the bullet shot from the gun went straight through the chest of the purple scissors wielder.

Koro lunged to take a bit but I shot my hand forward shooting a glob of metal towards him that pinned him to the wall far behind him.

I grabbed the girl on the floor and looked at the pink one, "GO I'll take care of your friend"

"Bb-ut your-"

"I'm trying to save her!"

Seryu was screaming obscenities at me but I quickly silenced her with a bit of metal that knocked her out.

Now onto the dying person in my arms.

I gingerly placed my hand over the hole. She is fairly close to dying if I don't do anything.

"Listen I'll keep you alive as best as I can, but you're going to have to trust me"

Her purple eyes met mine and I started to move metal within her body. First, the bullet has to come out, then I have to place metal around the inside to seal all the hole that has been made.

Easier said than done

After I was positive that she would live long enough for me to take her to a proper place to hide her, I picked her up and quickly kicked open a door of a house startling the family inside.

"Hey! Sorry to barge in like this but my name is general Jaden and I want you to hide this woman here" I said lifting her slightly. "I'll come to get her soon but just hold onto her for a bit and I promise to reward you all with anything you would like"

Without letting them accept I placed her down gently and rushed back outside to threaten Koro. Turns out I hit his head pretty hard so that ended up not being needed. Thankfully. I grabbed Seryu and walked her over to where a bunch of soldiers was gathering.

A young man approached me. "General Jaden sir! I didn't realize you had already neutralized the situation. What happened, sir?"

I thought for a moment. Seryu most likely won't remember what went down. "Seryu here got into a fight with 2 members of Night Raid. She killed one by the time I got here. The other left as I cleaned up the mess they had made."

I felt some of Seryu's blood spill onto my hands causing my skin to crawl. I hate blood. Blood just...I don't even really know what it is that makes me hate it so much. The forced into killing thing might have something to do with it.

Seryu I'm not going to let you die. I said you'll live, unlike Ogre and your father.

"I'll be taking Seryu to a medic, don't worry all of you can go home and rest. I'll handle the paperwork" I said as I gave the man a light smile.

He responded with a small sigh and started to get everyone home.

I used my teleportation ability for the first time in a while. I planted a small piece of Seryu's neck and teleported both of us right outside the castle. I keep small bits of metal everywhere and I plant small bits on people from time to time, so I have near-instant access to help them.

As I entered I drew several gasps and eventually a medic rushed out to take Seryu from me. I walked slowly over to the desk where I'll have to give a pain in the ass report.

.

(A long report later, ur welcome for saving you the details btw)

.

As I lay down in my bed I sunk a bit into my thoughts. Now about the wanted person, I have to pick up. Where in the hell will I hide her? It's not like she's exactly capable of getting up and going where ever she wants. Even if she could I doubt anyone would let her.

I sighed. What was I thinking saving her life? Maybe I should have just killed the other one as the purple one died then there would be no loose ends when I went to talk with Night Raid. A darker part of my mind thought.

No, if I did that I would have nothing to back up my story of being on their side.

Why not just kill whoever we please? You certainly have the power to

Yeah, what about Esdeath? She'd fucking yeet me into the next century if I tried anything. I'm lucky she just left for a mission not too long ago.

So now is the perfect time to strike. General Budo isn't even going to be there to stop you until its already too late

Fuck that, the whole reason I put up with this shit is to get my sister out of danger

Is it? Really now? They why do you go around killing the people of this empire? They are of no threat to your sister

People like that are a threat to everyone

Not to you, you can get away at any moment if you so, please. You claim to hate blood yet you have shed plenty.

I tried to shake these thoughts out of my mind.

I'm not so easily shaken. I am a part of you in the end. Don't deny that you like the power you were given. You were nothing before. You didn't have any respect, money, or power. You were worse off than street rats

I slapped a hand over my face.

I'm as sturdy as the metal you force to yield. Nothing, not even yourself can stop it.

When the hell did I get an extra voice in my head?

I've always been here. I remember the resentment you felt towards people, even your own parents were safe. Then again I was the one who stirred it.

Shut up.

This time I will not do as you say, I've listened to your commands for 4 years on end and you don't use our full potential.

So are you on the dark side or are you something more?

I'm the dark side? No no, no boy, I am your strength and you are my weakness. So many centries have gone by and you are the first to hear my voice since the first one.

What the hell?

I looked around for any hint of what the hell that could mean. What about me has been around for centuries. The only thing I could think of was the empire but that didn't line up.

I reached to scratch my bad and realized with a pang that something else lined up with that time frame. Metalwork.

I recalled it being made of a shapeshifter but I never thought that it was conscious. Its spirit was needed for it to be able to be malleable but...

I touched my side which was replaced with metal. Maybe I shouldn't have it inside my body.

I noticed that the pain from earlier had completely faded. I guess all that running should have been a bit more of a problem.

I sat up. Good god, I'm going to have to buy a house huh? I can't have the wanted woman inside the palace and I can't just teleport wherever I please after I leave the empire. A house would be a nice cover and I could get away from all this for a bit. Maybe adopt a kid or something.

I groaned as I got up. I don't have any cash. I have two options. Ask Makoto AKA the Emperor or ask my sister. My sister kinda owes me but know her she would charge me anyway. If I ask Makoto, he'll ask all kinds of questions but would likely let me go off hitch-free after I answer enough questions and probably do something with him.

I walked over to the throne room, hoping he was still there. Thankfully I think someone alerted him that I was headed to the throne room so he was there.

"Ah General Jaden, I heard you were headed this way and couldn't help but wonder what you would need this lovely night," The young boy said with a smile as I entered the throne room.

I gave a light bow and shooed the guards away. "Please Emperor, let's drop the formalities when we are alone. I believe I asked you of this last time"

"Ah of course. So what is it you needed Jaden?" Always straight to the point.

"I'm going to ask you this, man to man," I said gesturing between the both of us. "I'm broke right now and I was wondering if you could either advance my pay or spot me a bit of cash"

For a second his face looked offended that I could ever think he would say no(Not that I did). "Of course. You've done a lot for our empire and I would be a terrible ruler if I denied such a simple request from one of our best warriors..." He paused, "But I would assume someone like you would have plenty of money. If you don't mind what did you do with your last paycheck?"

I laughed nervously. I might have blown 3 paychecks worth on a bunch of people I don't even know that well. The last thing I bought for myself was 2 years ago. I wanted to try something new that came out but I didn't like it and gave it away.

"I've been paying people a lot lately"

"Why is that?"

I drew in a deep breath. "They reminded me back when I was younger. Not too much younger than you in fact"

He tilted his head. "What do you mean by that?"

"They were poor. So poor no one cared about them" I said sadly

"Is that what it's like out there?" He for one seemed shocked

I felt bad for lying but I knew Honest would find some way to kill me and blame it on Night Raid. "Not everywhere. I'm just helping out when I can. I also nabbed my sister a date and bought 4 ice creams"

"Well in any case how much do you need?"

I thought to myself for a bit. If he advances my paycheck, I might have just enough to get a decent house with some furniture and hold out until my next paycheck.

I wrote down the amount on a piece of paper(the amount of my paycheck) to make it easy for whoever he calls over to fetch the money for me.

He raised his eyebrows when he saw the price and asked what I was buying. "A getaway house. You know for when I need a break or want to have friends over"

What friends?

Ouch that kinda stings

"Ah I understand"

I gave him a small smile. "I've also been considering adopting a child or two"

His smile widened. "Well, that sounds like you'll need a bit more than this." He called over a person. He handed them the paper. "Please bring our general over there three times this amount. After that, you are free to go home for the day."

The person busts out into a smile and as they passed me they whispered a thank you.

Seems the kid is learning from me.

Soon enough the money was brought to me and as I was placing it into a backpack I made, A gave a small thank you to Emperor. "Thank you, your majesty"

"Now now Jaden, let's just drop the formalities when we're alone," He said with a growing smile on his face.

"Of course, Makoto" Matching his smile I walked out.

Great now I got more money than I needed.

I started buying food and medical supplies, along with books on healing people. With that done I still had enough to buy a decent house and some extra furniture.

I looked up. Very dark. I went to the closest landlord, I knocked on their window until they answered.

They made sure to give me a nice house before saying they'll fill out the paperwork in the morning. I was given the keys and hurried over to the house. It was a good distance away from the Palace, a bit too far away from the main roads and streets than I would like but other than that fine.

It was a decently sized house. Two stories with a basement and attic. Nearly took all my cash. I unloaded quickly and spent the last bit of money on a nice chair and bed. I got the bed in the biggest room, where I had placed most of my supplies and chair.

It will do for now.

I headed over to the family house I had stashed the body-let me rephrase that. Stashed- Hidden- Placed- left, yeah left the wanted assassin. Now that I'm thinking this through, I am so fucking screwed if anyone finds out. I slipped in through the window and was greeted by a man.

"Uh hello sir, I'm 90% sure I left a body here," I said quietly

"I'm well aware. Sit down please I would like to discuss the terms of our agreement"

Soon enough I was sitting down giving them parts of my story. I was able to leave shortly after. They were a family of 4 and each would be given anything one they pleased per family member.

The main catch was if one of them asked for something I had 3 days to deliver or they would rat me out. I was also given 1 day cool down between giving rewards.

The father was smart and asked for a better job. He was a chief so I asked if I could taste his food. He did and it tasted alright so I said that I can't guaranty a job but I can guaranty business for his current shop to see if he could eventually save up enough money to move to a better place.

He told me he would try it out and if he sees a good enough increase in profits, he'll take it.

After far too long I got the near-dead lady inside my house. My god that probably could be taken the wrong way. She was in the bed as I looked at her.

I leaned over her and placed my hand against her neck. Her pulse was weak but there. She was breathing far too slowly and lightly than she should be. Is it just me or is she paler than before?

I removed my hands. I'm out of my league here. I'm supposed to either be a meathead, someone cunning but horny 24/7, dead, or even just plain smart but no brawns.

I cant be smart and uphold a decent strength meter at the same time. That's just against the laws of nature.

But if you can't save her, how will you ever save your sister if she needs it?

I willed the metal in her chest to start moving faster, just slightly to not cause her heart to explode or anything. I'll slowly increase that even once in a while to increase her BPM(Beats per minute to anyone who doesn't know). Now the problem of air. It's not like I can stick a fan in her face.

I could try mouth-to-mouth resuscitation but...wouldn't that be a bit weird? I'm not a professional by any means and if I do it wrong wouldn't that just be kissing her in her sleep? With less tongue and more air?

I slapped myself. Get your ass in gear!

I pinched her nose as I leaned forward. Good god, please just wake up a bit.

Right before I could make contact, her eyes shot open

And Done. That's probably a good 6 thousand words so be happy, anyone who enjoys this. Not sure when I'll update again but hey I'll do it when I do it. If I was a more popular writer or even a better writer, I would set up a schedule for writing but even then I'm a bit lazy
