Summary: Zach is back my way.... not the way it ended second season!
A/N: Thanks for the welcoming comments! Still getting used to this becuz I'm new here at fanfic. Any input would be very much appreciated! Hopefully Zach will turn out ok as a character...
Max and Zach made their way through the market-like area. She decided to call Logan to tell him of her discovery and make plans to meet at Harbor Lights hospital, where Dr. Sam Carr could examine Zach. She stopped near a pay phone to make her call.
"Hold on, I have to make a call," she said to Zach. He stood by not looking anywhere in particular, trying to figure out where he knew her from.
"It's me. I found Zach," she said into the phone.
"How is he?" asked Logan on the other end.
"I'm not sure yet. We're heading over to Harbor Lights. Can you make it over?"
"No problem. I'll meet you there," he said, hanging up. Max and Zach continued on their
bikes to the hospital. Zach kept making sideway glances, still not to sure what to make of her. She looked vaguely familiar, too familiar, yet he couldn't put his finger on it just yet.
"So who are you exactly?" he said finally.
"You don't remember anything?" she said.
"Only glimpses. I know you were in my unit, before we got separated that is. Are we close?"
"Yeah. We're there for each other. Especially you. You were there for all of us," said Max, reflecting on her last words. Zach thought about that as well as they approached Harbor Lights hospital.
~Harbor Lights Hospital~
As Max and Zach entered the hospital they found Logan sitting in the lounge area. Max introduced Logan who replied with "good to see you again." As soon as Zach's eyes landed on Logan he had a flashback. In it he caught glimpses of Eyes Only streaming video, himself being tortured back at Manticore, and Max getting shot.
"You feelin alright?" asked Max.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I remember you. You're Eyes Only," said Zach still looking at Logan.
"Logan did that Eyes Only broadcast for us, remember? To warn the others that Lydecker was on to them?" said Max.
"Yeah. Sure, I remember. You helped plan our assault on Manticore. You and Lydecker ran the operation while we went in. It's funny how that mission went sideways," said Zach suspiciously.
"What are you trying to say?" said Logan realizing something was up.
"I think I just said it, didn't I?" said Zach.
"Dr. Carr's waiting for us. We'd better go," said Max interrupting. Logan gave Max a look that said what the hell was that. She didn't know what to think of it either. They headed over to Dr. Carr's patient room.
** "I'm running some additional scans on him now, but I wanted to show you these. Most of his major organs are biosynthetic, and from what I can tell, they're actually more efficient and more durable than the ones they replaced." Dr. Carr was saying to Max and Logan, while Zach sat on the sick bed.
"What about his arm?" asked Logan.
"They grafted on an exoskeleton due to apparent nerve damage," said Dr. Carr.
"How come they couldn't fix it so he can remember his own name? I mean with all these high tech gizmos there had to be something they could do," said Max.
"Memory's a tricky thing. All the various associations that form a particular memory are stored in different parts of the brain. Now it's the temporal lobe's job to keep track of how those things are all interconnected. His was damaged," said Carr, knowingly.
"From the looks of that cyber genetic implant he could start remembering things right? Some sort of trigger maybe," replied Max.
"Most definitely. Anything could trigger an offset of memories. People, places. It's just a matter of time. Now, he could get confused at times. He might not be able to distinguish between, say, an event that actually happened and something he dreamed about. And obviously there's some things he's going to lose because of tissue damage, but that aside, there's a chance he could recover almost everything."
After getting the scoop on Zach's position, Max and Logan thanked Dr. Carr, before exiting the hospital. On their way out, Max said she might drop by Logan's later, but right now there was some catching up to do.
"Come on. There's a place I wanna show you," Max told Zach.
