Chapter 3
The next night he left the complex. He found her waiting for him by a street light. She was obviously making herself easy to see. He approached her.
"Ready?" She asked him. He was still wondering where he had heard her voice before. He nodded in response to her question. She led him to secluded place.
"How is this going to help me remember my past?" he asked.
"It won't. I just led you hear because normal humans are afraid of seeing me and they freak out whenever they see some one fly," she replied. She then motioned for him to come to her. When he got in range she grabbed his arm. She gently led him to her side. "It might be a good idea to hang on." He did so. She flew up and took him to a lake. He looked around.
"This seems familiar," he finally said.
"Keep looking around. See if anything else is familiar," she told him.
"And who do we have here," a deep, male voice said, coming out of the shadows. Gemma was now officially freaked out.
"Did I just hear some thing or was it my imagination?" He asked, looking around frantically for the producer of the voice.
She glanced behind herself, "Would you not try and scare him?" she asked to the seeming ghost behind her. A man stepped out of the shadows. He was very tall, and very well built. 'He looks exactly like me! Just a lot bigger.' Gemma thought to himself.
"I still don't know your names," he brought up.
"Oh, right. I am Akira and this thing standing behind me is Cell," she told him.
"Your going to pay for that later," Cell told her. Gemma continued his explorations of the lake.
"Let's leave him alone for right now," she said to Cell. "When do you have to be back at the complex?" she asked him.
"I am allowed to stay out for a week. After that they will come looking for me," he told her.
"Okay. Feel free to explore everything around here, and don't restrict yourself to the lake," she told him. She and Cell turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Akira turned back around. "How did you know that I would recognize this place?" he asked.
"All will be explained in due time. But for right now just explore," she told him and left. He went back to exploring his surroundings. 'Everything feels so familiar. Who is she?' he asked himself.
Meanwhile, Cell and Akira went back to the old plateau(remember the one where Akira was trained). Akira sat down and watched as Gemma explored. Cell sat down next to her. He put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I wish I could tell him everything right now, but it would be too much or him. I don't know if he'll accept it all," she said to him, tears brimming in her eyes.
"It'll all come back to him in time, but for now you have to control yourself," He told her. She leaned against him without saying anything. "I know its hard for you. I know what you're going through. I what to tell him too, but it'll be better for him if he takes it slowly. Even if he's just as intelligent as we are," he explained. She stood back up and walked away. He joined her. She turned her head away from him, not wanting him to see her in her emotional state. He forced her to look at him. He kissed her. When they parted she again turned away from him.
"I need to be alone for a while," she said. She looked back at him, "I really need to get a hold of my emotions." She smiled at him and then took off. Little did they know that Gemma was watching them. He found away up the plateau, surprising Cell.
"What happened with her," Gemma asked.
"She needs some time to herself, to get a firm grip on her emotions. She's upset right now," Cell said simply.
"Why?" Gemma asked.
"You'll find out in due time. Now come with me," Cell commanded. They journeyed for about a hour before they came to a particularly grassy spot. "This is where I use to come to think. Its my little secret spot. The only other person that would know about it would be my son. I brought him here quite often to let him enjoy the scenery. Don't tell Akira about it."
"What happened to your son, and what does Akira have to do with all of this," Gemma questioned.
"My son was taken away from me the same day that he learned how to walk. I will never forget that night," Cell said sadly, then continued, "Akira is the mother of my son, that's what she has to do with all of this."
"Why are you telling me this? Are you implying that I'm your son?," Gemma questioned Cell.
"Give it some thought, but I'll give a hint to your heritage," Cell paused as if trying to word this correctly, "your mother was once human and your father was created in a laboratory. Also, my son is a miniature replica of myself, and you are a miniature replica of your father," he paused again to let his words sink in, "Stay hear and think about what I said, take your time, and never rush into anything." With that said, Cell left Gemma to think about all of the information Cell had just given to him…
