Chereads / Crimson Gauntlets / Chapter 2 - I'm me?

Chapter 2 - I'm me?

'an unfamiliar celling' I thought, it's so different and at the same time so casual?

I dunno but it does seem odd—its like I'm me?

it's like I'm Chris and at the same time me?

what the...I remember? the beach? but I was on the city walking!? also there's this explosion! but there's also the fat guy and the girl warned me!

"restrain him he seems in a psionic shock check his psion meter!"

"Doctor, its a miracle! he lived even with only his brain left!"

"don't celebrate yet! he is still in the state of psionic shock...did you call his relatives?"

"yes, sir they said that they will be here soon"

"Doctor the healer is here!"

"Bring her here!"

'what the..' I'm in a...hospital? well it checks out since I got caught up in that explosion...

and got a dagger thrown at me in the chest?

this is really weird.

"where is he!"

"here ma'am!"

"what the...this looks bad...is he even alive?"

"Y-Yes! he's holding up somehow?"

"how is this even possible?"

"I don't even know myself but before the explosion he was just an ordinary citizen with no psion pulses whatsoever but he suddenly obtained some.."

"so he's a mutant huh"

"we suspected that, the explosion caused it, the higher ups was also interested but they soon discarded it"

"why?"

"Although he suddenly have psion pulses he's psion capacity is rather small you can compare it to that of a infant psion born"

"I see"

What's with this gorgeous chick also I can't feel my body it's like their gone...wait! is it really that worse! let me check the mirror!

"Doctor!,Ms. Healer! he had a psionic shock again!!"

"Roger, Ms.Healer please do as you please"

*nod*

Oh the gorgeous chick came closer! She even placed both of her palm on top of me! Wow!

it's lik—wait their glowing her hands are glowing...but somehow I feel exited about it and the same time I don't? it's like I already knew about this which I don't? weird

"I'll begin the process now.."she said the other people dressed in hospital garments nodded.

The gorgeous woman then focused and her hand was glowing a bright side of yellowish green.

'W-Wow' I was amazed at the same time I'm not? I dunno maybe I'm crazy! I got stabbed in the chest after all? or maybe I got blasted by that damn explosion!? WHICH IS IT!?

"W-what..the."

"What's wrong Ms.Healer!"

"N-nothing....it's just that his...body healed up faster that I expected"

"Was it supposed to be slow?"

"....I expected it to be slow since his whole body was gone and only his brain survived.."

"If you put it like that it does seem too fast"

"R-right..."

They continued to do that on my body for like five second and hey! look who came back my arms my legs my junior! my body!—wait I'm naked! what the—junior no! don't raise..not in front of Ms. gorgeous! 'Junior no!'

*bulge* and so my junior was free for the whole people inside the room to see—especially Ms. Gorgeous.

"W-W-Wha..." she blushed oh, that's cute

"Men! protect Ms.Healer's chastity!"

"Yeah!!!!!"

And so that's how I got 6 men lunge at me while I just finished surgery and while I was naked.

:::

After that hellish incident I was sent to another room it had a bed which I was using a TV a bathroom and some stuff that's supposed to be important to me and also a

mirror—a mirror that I was looking at....I was looking at my own reflection on the mirror.

'well....this isn't me' somehow I was calm probably because of those people did when I died I mean there was people summoning stuff out of the air and this fat guy jumping in the air and the normal guy who killed me!

And there's also this problem I felt like I didn't die that way but I died on a giant explotion?

and also.....'Amy!' I can't believe that I didn't even looked for her.

I quickly pressed a button they said to press if I needed anything, and so a nurse came....well a robot came...

"may I be of help sir?" the robot said in a robotic tone and we'll I am surprised to see robots here but I'm not in the mood I gotta find Amy!

"Is there any girl named Amy at this hospital?"

"Search Amy...wait a moment please....I'm sorry there's no such person in this establishment"

"W-what! no that can't be!....then tell me the....survivors in the recent beach side explotion!?"

"Searching....wait a moment please....Answer; there's only one survivor at the explotion incident of Stetry beach side and currently residing in Stetry public Hospital

, Chris Adler.....".

What but that's impossible! if I survived Amy should've survide too....

"Robot, Tell me of the ones that died in that incident...."

"Searching....results of the ones that died in the explotion of Stetry beach side are; Mike klutz, Valery Clemore ,Amy Fritz."

"...."

"is there anything I can assist you sir?"

".....go back"

"yes sir.."

'F*ck this I hate this! I don't even know the lady but I feel angry? I don't know any more!'.

I punched my bed in frustration but it wasn't enough.

I jolted up the bed and tore the wires that they plugged in me and ran. I slammed through the door and ran into the halls not taking the elevators I took the stairs.

I got out of the hospital only wearing the garments the hospital gave me. I wasn't sure of we're to go so I decided to head to my home. I ran ignoring the curious gazes from people.

I arrived at the house or at least where I remember it was. I stopped for a moment

and read the address.

[Adler Residence]

After I read that sign I entered without hesitation, going upstairs and finally into my room. I sat on the bed not thinking any particular things.....what am I even supposed to think about anyway.

'Amy's gone and my mind's acting all crazy what the hell am I even doing right now'

I remained sitting on the bed for a while then a bright light came flashing outside, I could hear the noises a car engine stopping.

'its probably mom and dad' I didn't greet them and remained in the bedroom. After a while light footsteps came running towards my room and suddenly my door opened.

"Big Bro! you here!?" a girl bursting in my room wearing the local public highschool uniform with black colored hair the same as me teal eyes also the same as me.

she looked around my room and then our eyes met, I can see that she's crying.

'why is she crying?'.

"don't go away again big bro!...your always like that!.....always fading away to places...and the next thing I know is you being caught.up in some explosion and survived with only a brain left!". Christina said and it made me wonder how the hell did I survive with only a brain left in my body.....like how is that even possible it's lik—

"Big Brother are you even listening!?"

"O-Of course..." She's seen through me, girls are scary.

"A-Anyway Mom and Dad are worried you know you disappearing in the hospital".

Me disappearing? Oh, that's probably it huh?

my bad.

"Sorry for making you worry okay" I said while patting her head softly " I won't do it again also can you call Mom and Dad here?" I have to make them know that I'm in the house to ease their worries a bit.

"Okay...also about Big Sis Amy..."

"Yeah...there's no need for that I know.."

"O-okay....".

:::

After that drama Mom and Dad Came home and checked on me although they are worried the still scolded me for being reckless and going out of the hospital despite still being admitted in the hospital they said tommorow I'm heading there again to better recover my body. I didn't go to the funeral honery Amy and those two, but I can't since My parents won't let me because I still have my recover ongoing...."but I really want to go at least at Amy's tho" I sighed in frustration.

I confirmed that this wasn't my body anymore and theorized that when I died Chris's Soul departed? leaving his memories behind? and appeared me. That's the best theory I can come up with.

2 weeks had passed I got out of the hospital but it wasn't still over I got invited to TV shows after they heard that my miraculous survival of the explotion and I even went to conventions and gave of some inspirational speeches, they even gave a nickname [Miraculous Survivor], but a year later the fuss went down, I kinda feel like a psuedo Celebrity.

Now I'm currently in a graveyard where the gravestones of Amy, Mike ,and Valery lies

I always came here often it calms my mind even tho I knew their dead it's just calms my mind being near them.

"Hey, Amy..." I keep on coming here but couldn't say anything—what am I even gonna say to a deceased person?

"Anyway see you later guys" after fixing the flower that I bought I left. I kinda feel awkward.

After that I went to Amy's house, she doesn't really have any relatives in the city—not that I know of...but I do know her only family her dad.

Well you see her dad and became pretty close these past year. My parents just letting me do anything as part of my "rehabilitation" to the death of Amy, and I kinda wanna help Amy's Dad a little.

I arrived at the Fritz Residence Amy's home.

"Hellos there Twinkles" as I opened the gate a dog came in running at me it was twinkle Amy's Dad adapted her about a month after Amy's death.

"Is Paul here?" You probably think I'm crazy talking to a dog like this, but this dog is actually very intelligent you know!

*arf!(No)* see! I told you it's very intelligent...

'so he's not here huh? well better come again next time'.

Paul is the name of Amy's father by the way.

'Welp if Paul is not home I'll get a jobe then!,

I'll probably last about a year or so with the money I got from those TV shows and interviews but it can never hurt to get some more' If I'll search for a perfect job it needs to be fun and also rewarding....meh I'll check the job site tommorow.

:::

I spent an entire 5 hours searching a job online and only boring ones pop ups I might be a bit arrogant thinking I can nail a interview in the first shot but hey, you can always try again probably.

I spent hours searching a job that it's probably about three in the morning now, but still no luck....'ah there's a good one!' I found one and it's pretty interesting, it's easy to get in too I most have the requirements 'Oho this'll be fun!'

[Scarlet Cross Recruitment]

Req: * Needs to be 18 or Older

*Recorded Psion Pulses

I filled up my resume and sent it,. hopefully they will receive it and I should get an interview about...a week maybe?.

Being in the Scarlet Cross opens up Opportunities for me—maybe I'll even find out what phenomenon caused me to get fused? to this body.

After all that fuss I slept "It's already Five in the morning now goddamn it".

:::

'Well they certainly took their time' I was currently reading the job notification on my PC at my apartment it has already been a month and during that month I had to move out of my parents house, mostly to not bother them anymore. Christina's already a University student so I got out of the house to let her focus on her studies.

-[We have received your resume we have scheduled an interview 13:00Pm 02/25/2099 Please try not to be late]-

So the email said 'February huh..and what's more it's tommorow' welp better prepare for the interview tommorow then.

'what should I wear? maybe just a Tux? or maybe something casual?' while thinking of these thoughts the Doorbell on my apartment rang.

I headed to the door and it rang again.

"Please wait a minute I'll be there!" I hurried to the door and opened it.

"Yo, Big Bro!" and there she was Christina

'What's she doing here' I wonder then Two other girls popped up behind her.

"We formed a study group so can we study here pretty please?" Christina said clasping both of my hands though I gotta admit that is cute.

"How about the house then why don't you study there?" I retorted and she let go of my hands. " C'mon it's not every day I get to intrude your apartment, besides Mom and Dad already knows" This kid really....

"*sigh*....all right come in" I sighed in resignation. "all right! guys come in!" Christina gestured her "friends" to come in.

"S-sorry of intruding you.." the girl with a blonde hair said timidly. " Thank you for having us!" the other girl with a Brownish said cheerfully and then both bowed at the same time, "feel free to make yourself at home" I nodded and then gesturing them to go inside.

"If you girls are hungry there's food in the fridge" I said pointing at the fridge nearby.

"Okay!" Christina said cheerfully.

I headed to my room 'better prepare for tomorrow' I thought.

:::

"Okay let's start our study!" Christina said cheerfully "Okay Elen! brief us again on the subject". The girls went inside the apartment and saw that it was a little big it had a kitchen

a dining room also a living room where they reside.

"O-okay" Elen said timidly she then opened her bag and bought out a notebook. "S-Since were taking Psionology t-thats the only thing we're going to study apparently...". The girls went to the sofa in the living room and seated there they put their study materials in the coffee table.

"Elen don't be so stiff ya know" Christina said

"C'mon Jibril speak too you know you've too quiet when we entered the apartment ya know". Christina urged the other girl named Jibril.

"Hey Christina" Jibril said grabbing Christina's shoulders. "Why haven't you spoken about your brother!" Jibril suddenly snapped causing Christina to shriek.

"About B-Big Bro?" Christina asked timidly still shocked by Jibril. "Yeah! your brother who knew he was the [Miraculous Survivor] I saw in the TV you know! and you didn't even told us!". Jibril snapped again.

"hehehe..sorry guys it's just it's been hard for Big Bro you know?..." Christina said looking down. "What do you mean?" Jibril asked with a hint of concern.

"Well you see you probably haven't heard of this from the TV since Big Bro hadn't spoken about.....but" Christina stopped briefly and changed her gaze up top. "You probably heard that he was the only survivor right?".

"Yeah.." nodded Jibril then Christina continued

"well you see one of those who had died in the explosion was Big Bro's girlfriend Big Sis Amy.

"no way...." both Elen and Jibril Gasped, they looked somewhat apologetic now. " S-So that's why.... sorry Confirmed Elen.

"W-Well there's so need to pry on to that so just keep it a secret from everyone one else at the University okay?" Christina said, forgiving the both of them."O-Okay".
