Chapter 5: New/Old
I was laying in a soft white room. Clean. The humming of machines filling my ears, the master-speak coming from the two people in the room was quiet. The large metal man watched a video readout, while the masked boy looked at a computer screen.
I didn't know where I was, or what they were doing, but I was warm. This place felt safe. I heard the lapping of water. Could I be on the Island? I did not know, but my body would not respond. I do not know what had happened, but I was in pain. More then usual, anyways. I could feel my body healing itself, I would be up and around soon enough. The two people talked for a few moments, then the smaller masked one spoke to a device in his collar and soon three others joined them. I recognized one of them, the one with the green eyes and red hair, as the one that saved me on the Black Line.
They spoke for a few moments more, then the two male's left, leaving me with the others. My body had healed itself sufficiently, so I sat up in bed and looked at the three of them. I stretched my neck to one side, then the other as I sat up, then looked at them and said "Who are you?"
