Chapter 4 Recovery

(Scourges POV)

Well today is the day i get out of here true i haven't used all my enhancements and at times it feels like there's an anvil in my chest and at times my arm feels like a massive sword i think i should try and slash a tree down hahahaha oww ow oh shit my body is still recovering well first thing to do is get used to my legs again i recon they has to remove some of the degeneration in my legs so.

I moved my body to the side of the legs and placed my feet on the floor god damn it was cold but at least my nerves are still intact so now slowly ease myself up, as i pushed on my arms to get off the bed i gripped the wall with my left hand to balance myself so i didn't fall flat on my face damn my head is heavy where's a mirror.

The door opened and wave and tails walked in looking slightly shocked that i was up.

"Scourge? You're up!" tails said shocked

"Hey this place doesn't have a mirror how bad is it?" i said jokingly

"Damn it scourge you were always ugly a little bit oh med aid and you'll look right as rain" tails replied

"Hahaha argh shit look don't make me laugh alright my body's barely holding together as is it" i said gripping my chest

"Hahaha so how you feeling scourge?" wave said

"Like i just got a cybernetic overhaul" i replied standing up straight

"Yeah i guess you should feel like that" she replied

"Hey scourge you feel up for a walk?"

"I am not a dog fox boy but i guess i got to get used to walking like this... oh shit how's eclipse?"

"Pretty good knuckles is taking care of her" tails said

"Is that meant to make me feel better or worse?"

"Hahaha yeah i guess that's right c'mon let's go" tails replied with a smile

"Hey slow down jeez never thought i'd say that"

Tails and wave led me out of the hospital where i got my cape, gauntlets and my sneakers back after i put them on i walked with the two of them through the town though i did get stray glances. As we walked it was a busy day of traffic in this city to be honest i was glad i could run faster than them but my smile was quickly wiped off when i saw a kid jackal run into the road for something, i dashed off making the hood of my cape fall off as i grabbed the kid and got to the other side of the road.

"You okay kid?"

"Yeah they aren't you scourge?"

"I used to be kid i used to be"

"Well anyway thanks Mr"

"You're welcome kid"

The kid ran to who i assume was his mother as i pulled my hood back up and tails and wave got over to me.

"You did good scourge"

"Hey i didn't want to see the kid hurt"

"Wait till this gets round the city scourge saves someone instead of hurting them" tails said with a smile

"I know i must be dreaming right hey wave can you punch me just to make sure?" i said scratching the back of my head

"Sure hold still" wave said cracking her knuckles

"Only joking said with a smile

"I wasn't" she said with a wink

"Erm tails help" i said taking a step back

"Sorry dude" tails said crossing his arms

"Now hold still this won't hurt... much" wave said ready to punch

As i took a step back as she stepped forward i tripped and so did she, she fell right on top of me and tails just stood there with wide eyes.

"Guys if you want to do that may i recommend an hotel"

"I guess old habits die hard"

I got up first and then helped wave up but she seemed to be embarrassed as she looked away and started to rub her left arm.

"I think you made wave uneasy scourge"

"Sorry wave"

"I-it's okay really"

We continued down the street as normal talking away while i got used to my new enhancements to be honest when read about what i did to me i felt like a hedgehog version of Robocop and i didn't like what i saw, as we continued wave told me about this huge bust up the rogues had and it reminded me of how i treated my guys back in the SS i know what it's like to be a total asshole and i don't like it not anymore.

"I got to go somewhere i'll meet you two back and tails house deal"

"Deal"

"Oh hey let me give you address "tails said telling me the address and i saved it to the cybernetic portion of my brain

I sped off and saw how wave and tails continued to his house to be honest i did have a place to be it's called the Babylon ark and using my eye enhancement i locked on to its engine signature, seeing the trail i followed from down on the ground with these new enhancements i was a little faster than before and soon i found the ark damn place looked more like a floating fortress.

I figured i had to get on board somehow but how was i going to do that and that's when it clicked in my brain and i snapped my fingers as well like in the old movies when they get that eureka moment i almost laughed at myself but i needed to stay focused, i noticed the wind currents through my optic enhancement and saw that there was a direct trail up to the ark it was just a matter of getting the right curve in my spin dash. Using the optic i got the right angle and altered my spin dash accordingly as i took off i got swept up in the winds and slammed right through the ark's wall into the engineering area, as i stood i held the back of my head.

"Note to self don't ram into stone walls at two hundred miles per hour"

Standing i took a look round a realised i must of set off the alarm if this place had one but the engine trail was weak so i'm thinking this place doesn't have that much power left so they won't have active alarms, walking through the area i swear it was a freaking maze of pipes, steam, water and heat god i hate this place so much right now. I ended up getting out of the place after a gush of hot steam basically scorched my chest and gave me a nice burn mark just below my neck, i got out of there and some of their bandages and antiseptic on the burn wound once done i headed for the main room where i was sure storm and that arrogant hawk were cause that's the real reason i am here to teach that hawk a lesson on how not to treat people they don't need another me running around.
