Genji was coming to his sense's,"M-Mercy…" Genji spoke weakly, his lips were dry. Living off an IV drip and getting food fed to through a tube for a couple weeks now has made his body become off balance.
"Genji, you're finally awake... it's me Mercy, do you remember?" The blonde spoke calmly next to the male who was still coming back from death.
"Where am I?"
"You're in one of my medical facility, you almost died. If I didn't come back to save you… you might not have been with us today, Genji."
"Wait how do you…" Genji grunted. That's right? Hanzo spilled everything in-front of her… She knows too much. My name, she has probably stared at my face the whole time I was recovering. What's this empty filling I feel in my chest.
"Why do I feel like less of man?"
Mercy scrunched her nose,"I guess that's one way of putting it. The arrow that pierced your chest made your entire left lung collapse, which would have made you bled out until you died. Fortunately I replaced your entire left chest, the arrow had dug so deep I had to remove an abundance of flesh to repair it, because of your lung I had to take out I couldn't save the flesh on top it wouldn't have… um... grown back correctly…"
"Wait… Wait, just get to what you're trying to say…?"
Mercy gulped,"Right, basically your left side is fake… The lung works and functions like a real lung, it's a new theory I've been hypothesizing. You could say you were the first patient. Your arm was also damaged so I replaced it with "metal tissue" as I have named it." Mercy perked up, seeming excited to explain the next part,"It looks entirely like real flesh, but it actually made from broken down metals and..."
Genji removed the blanket to reveal his bandaged up chest,"I want to see it!"
Mercy shook her head,"It's still in repair, I can't remove your bandages. It could throw off the growth process. Your body right now will either reject the metal tissue and lung, you could… die. Or your tissues will fuse with the metal tissue and you could be stronger… faster…"
"Wait?" Genji roared. "I could die from this!?"
"Well… Technically… Yes that is a possibility… After all I've never done this on anyone before, but think of the results if it actually works."
"I don't really hear the confidence in your tone… I'm practically your guinea pig."
"Or… you could think of me as saving your life. Besides you're already showing amazing results. The fact that you're awake right now for two weeks says it all. That your lung is working properly so far." Mercy smiled,"Don't worry I'm one of the top doctors in the world. I would never do something I wasn't sure about."
Genji sighed,"Besides that… How much did you figure out about me?"
"Well your name is Genji Shimada, it's not Takashi. Although I can forgive a little white lie, I understand your intentions. If I was in your position… that my family wanted me dead… I wouldn't have given out my real name either." Mercy giggled,"And…"
Genji cut off the talkative Mercy,"Forget it, you seem lively now. Where was she at, at the bar?"
"I guess being in the lab perks me up, when I'm doing something as barbaric as I did it tends to throw me off."
Genji suddenly laughed,"Barbaric? Are you an old lady or something?"
Mercy gave a sour face,"Well… From where I come from it's a common phrase."
Genji's eyebrow rose,"Where are you from?"
"I'm Swiss…"
"How old is this swiss beauty?"
"Uh… I'm twenty-four…"
"You're twenty-four and you're a doctor. Jeez, what else have you accomplished?"
"I recently won a nobel piece prize and…"
Genji's rolled his eyes,"That was suppose to be a rhetorical question."
"Well, you didn't explain that."
Genji smiled wide,"For someone so smart you don't have a lot of common sense."
"That's so mean! I have plenty of sense, I wouldn't be saying that too someone about to poke your arm with a needle!"
"Why the needle in the first place!" Genji cringed.
Mercy ignored the man, she took his arm and sterilized were the needle would enter. Setting up the equipment she readied the needle to draw the blood from his arm,"I'm just making sure everything is okay."
Genji blushed,"Not to mention you operated on me?"
Mercy nodded,"Yes… I did with my team."
"How… ugh… much did you see?"
Mercy blushed in response,"I'm a professional… O-Only your chest…"
"Then... who changed my cloths?"
Mercy's jaw dropped,"Someone else did that! That's not my practice or responsibility!"
"I mean we have the whole doctor… patient scenario going on right now." Genji smirked.
Mercy ripped out the needle and Genji moaned from the small sharp of pain,"If you have enough energy to flirt with me, I think we are done here." Mercy blushed deep red, she placed the drawn blood in her pocket, dressed his small needle wound and left the room crimson red.
"Aye! Mercy!" Genji groaned watching the blonde leave the room, he cursed Japanese under his breath before settling into the bed and drifting off to sleep.
It wasn't several hours later the blonde had returned to check on Genji. He was still soundly asleep in the hospital bed. She took out an already drawn needle of pain medication that she gave through his IV drip. She made sure everything was in order, checking all his vitals before leaving but as she did she felt a cold hand grip her wrist. She looked down to see it was Genji's. At first she thought he had awoken, but realized soon he was still in a deep sleep.
"Is he sleep talking?" Mercy whispered to herself.
"Hanzo…" Genji muttered.
"He acts so strong, but you actually have a soft side?" Mercy smiled, bringing up a chair to sit next to the bed ridden Genji.
"I have some time before I have to continue my work… I'll just stay with you awhile." As Mercy watched the male she hadn't realize she rested her head against the bed and dozed off herself. It wasn't long before Genji had awoke, his hand was a tad sweaty. That's when he noticed it was Mercy who was holding his clammy hand. He blushed slightly about to wake her up, but he took a second and stared at the sleeping beauty. He brushed a strain of hair gently from her face and smiled.
"Don't think I'm indebted in you since you saved my life… but because of you I can get my revenge. So… I'll treat you nicely, once in awhile." Genji once again smiled.
"Just who the hell are you…" Genji muttered in Japanese. "You think something like this will make me fall in love with you?" Genji then proceed to sit-up through the pain and steal a forehead kiss from the blonde. He was close enough to smell her rosy perfume, and her hair was a light honey scent. He smirked and used his index finger to flick the sleeping girls forehead. Mercy instantly rose up and moaned,"Ow! Did you just flick me!?"
"You won't let go of my hand."
Mercy quickly released his hand,"Ah! Sorry!"
"Did you actually think you were my women?" Genji smirked,"I was just caught up in the moment, don't think for a second I meant what I said."
Mercy pouted,"I know that! I wasn't even thinking about it!"
"Good~" Genji teased.
"Are you okay to sit up?" Mercy asked.
"I feel better, ninja's are trained to recover quickly."
"That doesn't make any sense."
"You wouldn't understand, it's like we channel our chi throughout our body and are wounds heal faster. It should only be a few more days before I am up and walking."
"Few days, thats crazy! You broke two ribs, and your lung collapsed. That takes at least months to repair. But you know the metal tissue could enhance you abilities. Make you stronger, faster and I didn't even think about the possibility to heal faster. My original theory could even be greater than I imagined."
"I don't think you should use this on anyone else, if what you say is true it could repair people to be… inhuman. Live longer, making machines that could turn on you one day. You're just messing with the balance of nature."
Mercy was in awe with his words, and she felt the truth in them,"Your right… but it could save so many lives."
"It could also destroy many lives in the process. I think you should keep your work a secret. If someone found out about your abilities that you took a dead man and made him alive… People… Bad people would come after you. I know this better than anyone that, someone as smart as you only gets hurt in the end."
"This facility has the best security… it's…"
Genji sighed,"Barbaric?"
"I'm glad you're following along." As Mercy just finished praising the security a red siren alarmed. Which was a signal to leave the building immediately.
"What's this alarm about?" Genji yelled, trying to be heard over the siren.
Mercy trying to be loud enough over the alarm as well,"It's a emergency alarm that goes off if someone tries to break into the facility without a keycard, but there is no way you can leave in your state."
"I'm fine." Genji groaned getting up and ripping out the test tubes connected to him.
"You know I could just have taken those out for you! Besides how the hell are you standing! And… put a shirt on…" Mercy blushed from his slightly exposed chest."
The alarm silenced, and before Mercy could say something the door for the room swung open and several men dressed in black filled up the room.
"Excuse me I don't know who you are, but this a private room." Mercy stated nicely.
"I don't think they're here for a visit." Genji groaned, gripping his still fairly repairing wound. "It's good I am on so much pain mediation, or I wouldn't be able to fight."
"What do you mean fight!?"
One of the men in black spoke abruptly,"We just want the girl, if you resist, it will give us no choice to take her by force."
"You know those bad people I mentioned… well they are here now."
"That's crazy, this is a misunderstanding-" Before Mercy could finished, one of the men in black gripped her arm, and Genji reacted fast by pushing him off her. Genji safely placed Mercy behind him to protect her.
"If you want her you will have to go through me… Guess this is my way of thanking you Mercy…"
"We really didn't want it to lead to this, but you leave us no choice,"a man in black declared, several of the men circled around the two.
"There is too many of them Genji… You're still in bad shape."
"Shut up! If I can't protect you then what kind of man am I?"
Mercy blushed, she got closer to Genji who was now in a fighting stance. He was able to block many of their sharp punches and kicks, but there was too many and several got good hits on the injured male. Still every second Genji was regaining his strength, and his ninja abilities had kicked into gear, he laid his own swift kicks and punches against the men in black. He had only hurt a few and their numbers were of greater ratio than Genji could keep up with.
"Give up, there is too many of us." The leader of the group it seemed spoke up from the crowd.
"Never!" Genji groaned, a green glow seemed to release off of the male as his rage grew. His eye changed from their natural black to a piercing greenish colored. His speed, agility and strength seemed to take in response to his knew appearance. His strength had match that of fifty men and one by one he had taken down the threat until their leader was the only one standing.
Genji panted hard,"Why are you after this women."
"It seems this task would be harder than expected. The boss will be curious about this outcome, will see you again Angela Ziegler." With that it seemed the black figures had faded into the darkness.
"What the hell," Genji groaned and del, but Mercy had caught him and the greenish glow had vanished just as the threat did.
"Genji are you okay, and what was the greenish glow coming from you."
"It's my spirit animal. In the Shimada Clan, a Shimada receives a spirit animal with a name, mine is the dragonblade; it's difficult to channel, and only a few Shimada's have the ability to actually use their chi in this way."
"Then why didn't you use it against your brother." Mercy asked puzzled.
"I never used it till now…" Genji laughed. "I think your procedure did a lot more to me than you think."
"Oh Genji…"
