Chapter 8 - White Wings

Lorel wakes up after a few hours to notice something odd about herself. "What happened?" As she stood up from the ground she passed out. Lorel questions what she saw on that folder. "Who am I really? Why the hell I know this place? Am I really human?" Lorel realizes as she checks out herself if she really is human.

The difference that she felt after waking up is unusual. She felt light on her feet, her awareness sharpened it seemed weird that from just passing out she had gotten better. From the looks of it Lorel doesn't see it as recovering from fatigue. As she fixes herself checking out as many documents as she can she noticed something while walking by some mirrors... She saw a white image.

"What's this?" As she gets intrigued by the white figure behind her. "Is this some kind of wings or something?" As Lorel tries to flap the wings and it does show. She saw something glowing on the back of her for some reason. "Did I got a title or something? No, this is impossible I haven't been a Title Candidate but how?" She said as she saw text glowing on her nape as she loosen her dress showing text saying the words...

'To Error is Human, To Forgive is Divine.' "What the hell though... Why me of all people?" Said Lorel as she saw flashes of her teammates being safe from out of nowhere. "What did I just saw? Anyways I'm glad I saw them being safe. But what is this title anyways?" She said as she contemplates again while trying to understand why she understands this abandoned research facility in the abyss.

On the meantime while she takes time to understand the situation Lorel tries out what difference did the title change in her. Doing the basics first. Running, jumping, basic agility tests the lot. She was intrigued how faster and more nimble she has become, from this she also tested her accuracy and it also improved by quite a huge margin.

"Estimates around 40% improvement over from before. I can aim better now and farther." She evaluates she has more potential than before. Lorel also noticed that the fatigue from yesterday disappeared like it was nothing. She doesn't feel tired or weary.

While she was reading more into the archival documents she found in the abandoned Labs. She noticed her name popped up multiple times now. "What the hell... Why is my name here? What was I doing here?" As she continues to skim the documents trying to find the date of this document. She found a number... It was from 25 years ago...

"The hell... 25 years ago? I wasn't alive yet at that point how the heck did my name appeared in these documents someone must have been messing with me." Said Lorel, as confused even more on the history of this abandoned lab knowing that she has been here before yet she can't put her finger on it.

An hour or two passed and Lorel has been seeing more flashbacks of her imaging herself in a chamber of some sorts. Floating in some kind of fluid... With people looking at her holding clipboards writing down what seem to be effects of some sort. Lorel can't put it down but she realized that she probably was made in a laboratory...

"There's no doubt after that image popped up in my head... I was here before. But why is this lab abandoned?" As she looks at the chamber she pictured in her mind. "Seems like I escape or some sort. But I do remember seeing mother carrying me though." She pieces together the mental images she has been seeing in her mind. Lorel looked around at the crusty, abandoned, and eerie world this laboratory has gone through.

She looked for more pages of the documents by looking at the drawers... Nothing, but ash and dust. From the looks of it most of the tables had fire damage. "Something must have happen here and its probably about me." As she continues to look while flashbacks of mental images continue to show on how things went down here.

As Lorel stops looking while tears fall from her eyes... "So I was saved by my adopted mother then... I was really born from this lab." As she started to tear up from the realization that she was just adopted by her Mother and that her real mother never really existed. Lorel finds more documents trying to find what kind of title she has received from the looks of it she concluded that 'Saint' was bestowed upon her and that her deceased mother also appeared in the documents with the same title.

Lorel again took that into mind being the successor of that title knowing that she knew what it can do. "So my ability is to save people. I can teleport to the nearest person who is at most the highest chance of being in danger. The more lethal the situation the faster I can teleport. Heightened senses, strength, speed, and agility is utilized and as the more I save people the more powerful I get." She stands up from that after reading that document and knowing the truth finally...

Lorel wipes off her sadness to finally take on the responsibility of a Title Holder worthy of the successor of her Adopted Mother as the next 'Saint'. As she realizes she can use her invisible wings to fly off from the abyss with the new acquired power she leaves the abyss to regroup with her team who is now worried about her.
