Note: This is not in XII's pesonality. I'm trying somthing diffrerent here
7/2/2351/ 2200 Hours
ICU (Intensive Care Unit) Class 3 Battleship Orcana Room 969
Mary sits in the waiting room. She is distraught they haven't told her a thing about what's going on. Their silence makes her more afraid. then a surgeon walks out of XIII's room. He seems to be somewhat distraught. She automatically assumes the worst.
Is he ok? Mary asked.
He's just fine. though... The medic hesitated.
What? She demanded fearing the worst.
Well he's in a coma. He siad in a worried tone.
Is he responsive? She asked.
Well he is breathing just fine. It may last a couple of weeks though. He's under strict guard until then. He stated simply.
Can I go see him. She inquired.
I've already cleared it with Capitan Moulder he's not happy about it but he'll allow you to go in and see him. He stated happily.
She walk in to the room. XIII seems so peaceful when he is asleep. when he told her everything, she was of course shocked at what he himself admitted, the massacre in Joblin. the tests at test center 45. it all was deeply troubling. I don't think he ever got a good night's sleep. he sees himself as a monster, if only he could see that that's the blood his own eyes to see. there is no blood on his hands. From what he told me he was under armed guard 24/7, all of which had orders to kill him if he refused to work.
For one person or fur to have to bear that kind of guilt must be horrible. He won't listen to any body that he is not a monster but most would say he is. Especially the furs around here and in the plants. Is it not bad enough he alone sees himself as such.
He is a handsome fur I wonder what he looked like as a human. He was at least in his early thirties, late twenties. He was big and muscular not common from a regular scientist. Possibly from the genetic experiment. He carried a burden no man should carry alone. When he walks he walks like he has a world on his shoulders.
Excuse me. Said an artic fox.
Who are you!?? Mary aked in surprise, fur standing up.
Well I was wanting to see him. She replied, ignoring the question.
See XIII? I inquierd.
Yes. That's him. The fox said.
Well go ahead. I motioned for her to take a seat.
Wait didn't you save him? I asked.
Yes I was repaying a debt. She repied sadly.
Debt? I inquiered further.
He saved my life. Justifying what the she meant.
When did he do that? I asked, intrigued.
12 years ago. she replied bluntly.
That long ago? I asked in a disbelving stupor.
Oh yes very much so. She repied as a matter of facly.
He was a human back then how can you tell. I asked.
He had a unique birth mark on his forehead. She stated.
** She points to where the grey fur turns into a light shade of brown. It is in the shape of a lightning bolt. She wouldn't have noticed unless it was pointed out to her. It was very thin and in a way it was his most defining feature.**
He helped my children have a future. She explained.
How old are they? i proddeed.
18, and 25. She asnwered.
Are they in the resistance? I prodded.
I wish they weren't, but they are. Answering unhappily.
What do they do? I pryed.
One is a foot soldier, the other in intelligence. She answered.
You must be proud. I stated.
I am I guess in my own way. She said unsure.
How did you wind up there? I asked, due to her age.
My children both escaped the city. So they put me in there. So I could be some use to them. She answered with pride.
That's horrible. I siad.
XIII starts to stir.
Mary. he said.
Save you energy. you're going to be just fine. I told him.
Why do you love me? He asked weakly
I just do. I replied.
He falls back asleep apparently. He looks like a little angle. His grey fur glistening in the lighting. The mental brain waves are in now a R.E.M. sleep.
He protected those who he was hurting. Ironic isn't it.
Who are you? I asked finaly.
Silver Hanara. She asnwered.
Nice to meet you. I told her.
Likewise. He loves you very deeply. Yet he can't seem to admit it to you. She stated bluntly.
He told my he loves me. So he can admit it to me. I reasoned.
No he feels for more than just love for you. A need to protect you no matter the cost even his own life. She siad more specificaly.
