I opened my eyes and found nothing but darkness. I felt drained of all of my energy. I had never felt so weak in my entire life but now I was beginning to wonder. My hands were on something soft, something I had never felt before. My hand came up and felt my chest, there was stitches where I had been stabbed. What had happened? I can't think of anything after I was shot. I sat up and I could start to make out things. I was on a bed but it was much softer and warmer than the small bunk that was in my room back at Maverick Hunter Headquarters. I gingerly moved my body and put my legs down on the floor. It wasn't the same cold, concrete floor as the base either.
A light turned on and it blinded me for a few seconds. My eyes couldn't adjust to the light so fast.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?" I heard someone ask. I held my hand over my eyes, trying to hide my eyes from the brightness.
"I'm confused, where am I?" I asked to whoever was speaking to me. I heard footsteps and then the bed sunk down a little, whoever it was had sat down beside me.
"Your in my room, how are you feeling?" The person asked, and I finally realized it was a woman's voice. I tried opening my eyes again and I could start to see without the light hurting.
"I'm a little messed up, I feel really weak right now," I said and tried to look at her. She had blue hair that came down a little above her shoulders. I stared at her for a moment, entranced by her eyes, which too were blue. I shook my head.
"What happened?" I asked her.
"I found you in the park, you were wearing a metal suit that was nearly shattered. When I managed to get you off, you had lost quite a bit of blood," I looked at her dumbfounded. My armor was destroyed. I had to find a way to recover it.
"Well, after that I took you to the hospital. You've been asleep for a few days now," I sighed. A lot of time was lost too. Who knows what my chances are to make it back. I shook my head.
"If you don't mind me asking, where's my armor?" She looked at me for a moment with an awkward look on her face.
"I've been repairing it, it hasn't been that easy. But, it's downstairs, would you like to see it?" She said. I nodded my head and she helped me up to my feet. That's when it finally dawned on me.
"Hey, what's your name, anyway?" I asked her. She turned around and her face went a slight shade of pink.
"My names, Ami, Ami Mizuno. What's yours?" She said.
"My name's X," I said looking away from her as well. Feeling my own face grow warm. We stood there for a while. Not saying anything and looking at our feet. And then, finally...
"Well, you want to see your armor?" She asked sheepishly.
"Yeah, let's see it." I said, still afraid of looking up. She turned her back to me and walked out the door. I let out the breath I had been holding and followed behind her.
