Chapter 15 something to hold

My arrival back on Goliath came after two months of rehab, at an offshore facility owned by Overwatch. I had a very quick recovery due to the fact the they need me, getting to Goliath was very difficult, me and another individual known as Zodiac had to make a Halo jump from the atmosphere, so we wouldn't get detected by Calyapi, because after the attack on their facility they made move on the world's largest oil reserve, also they took over the largest server dump. Zodiac tells me he was the main operator in New York, and that he's been in Goliath in my stead, his attitude is off putting, he won't stop complaining about being transferred to Goliath, while on the plan before are jump he said something along the lines of "you know at least there is one silver lining" then he jumps, diving after him, because we're jumping under the guise of a thunderstorm, the clouds give loud roars as we soar through the air, as I pull the cord to my shoot, the school is right below me. When my feet touch the ground, there's loud shouts of awe from around, that right its my senior year. Looking at my classmates they start taking photos, knowing how Calyapi works, they probably are a part of the group falling, there is a girl across from me, she is walking towards me, she has pink hair, a nice physique, and walks with purpose, she slaps me across the face, calling me "idiot" (what was that for?) She then runs into the athletic building, another girl comes up to me it's Mikki she has black Hair now (hi) she kisses me before throwing me onto the ground, she then gets on top of me, "why?" She asks (You know why) she tries punching me "you didn't save us, your supposed bro save us" (I'm sorry) "sorry doesn't bring Christian back" I hold her (I'll give you whatever you want) "I want my brother back" (then I'll take his place, he would want it that way) her cries are those of someone who knows what loss truly is, picking her up we head to the athletics building. (Who was that girl that slapped me "oh she's new, she said she met you before, do you remember her?" (I will now) she chuckles (what is it ?)" You've changed" (you could say that) dropping her off in the athletic clubs a bunch of students run my way, I run to the only place that comes to mind, home ! Running there from the school brought large bit of nostalgia run through me, though to my surprise, my house wasn't there, the only thing that was left there were ashes. My neighbors are nearby, I walk up to them (hey what happened) "oh the house, oh that burned down about a month ago (what about the girls living there) oh her she left (yes but where) I don't know, but she works at the flower shop on kiesler ave 'oh she is such a pretty girl, those ears gorgeous I say' so true poor thing though (why do you say that?) Oh it's because a couple months ago her boyfriend died and on top of that she was assaulted, you know he was a really quiet one we both thought one kid in the house all by himself  it sounded like trouble, you know what you look kinda like him (thank you)"never knew my neighbors thought that way, strange, the flower shop is only two miles away from me, I know the flower shop because it's a front, people can go in there just to buy flowers, but in the back they have their own type of escort delivery service for those wanting, the owner is an annoying guy by trade, but he treats the girls right and stays away from drugs I met him once on a delivery job, because he had one of my targets request a girl from him, though only reason he worked with me was due to the fact that my target kill his girls. In front of the flower shop is dimir a tall Russian fellow intimidating by deminor, his file was on my computer under ex KGB , he greets me in Russian and tells me about the flower selection, though I ignore him as I walk through the doors to the shop, doing such he whispers in my ear "volk vozvrashchaetsya". Looking through the shop nothing really catches my eye, there isn't many people hear, gazing around the corner, I see her sitting pondering, looking at her phone, she seems to look genuinely the same, hair longer, arms looks more calm , but she looks more lost than anything, her face is so glued to her phone she doesn't seem to realize I'm standing right in front of her. Clacking my metallic fingers of my right hand gets her attention, she only stops by looking at my hand, her face has two signature tattoos, they were placed there to recognize who made her body. She then b lines my way, flustered, with eyes closed "hi what can I do for you?" she asks, she looks very annoyed, something's wrong (what is it) she then slides her phone towards me. It's on the Calyapi groups directory, her finger scrolls the page, it shows all information known about me, my name,my house, known associates, and that marked as 'bringer of pain' looking back at Cidny she seems disappointed that I wasn't aware of this, (Cory !!)" Someone called… ah" says Cory as he pops out of his little shelter he calls an office ( I need you to hide me) "Cidny protect me… go on beat him up… wait what do you just say (I need you to hide me) what… what would I do that (she's my fiance) 'you mean ex fiance were not together anymore' you know what kitties for giving me this moment of intense drama I'll help you just let me watch" (what do you mean we're not together anymore) "you've been gone for so long, of course I'm happy to see you and I still love you but, I need time to think about somethings" something ? You know what it okay as long as you're okay thats all that matters to me… alright Cory you got to see what you wanted to see) "alright come with me then to my office kitty" he says.

After Cory took me into his office, I now know that Saya is putting everything out there about what I've done to gain more followers, either that or she is looking at a way to spite me, nevertheless what concerns me more is what happened to Cidny. While being at rehab they wouldn't let me be aware of her whereabouts, what she's been doing, all they made me do was exercise eat, then exercise more, also practice a silver tongue due to the intimidating factor my scar brings. (Cory what are we doing) I believe he may be taking me to his harlequin den, Cory is not a violent man, but his girls wanted to have more protection. "Alright darling take a seat and we'll find out which guise you might need to wear, first off let's get rid of that scar, cover some of that with tattoos… yas… alright now the eyes let's give you some cute ones… oh my days baby your looking fabulous…(Cory don't over do it) hush I'm trying to make a masterpiece, now the arm hm well, let's see false skin, no I might have a different arms (no) alright false skin… perfect (what are you looking at) do you like smoking (what)". Cory gave me a type of guise, a guise is a device that cover your body in a digital fabricated skin, based on how end quise is, depicts how good it looks. I look particular the same except there are no scars some tattoos on my neck, hand looks like skin, pale skin, as well as having to smoke to give the guise a more believable factor, my hair is as white as snow. Cory then runs me through his dens "your going to be meeting up with one of you colleagues (Athena) oh God no my baby Athena is already too busy to visit even me (bully for you) I know right…. Well go through there and you'll meet a diamond" his vague flamboyancy always annoys me. Walking through the dens I was constantly being touched by random people, also people saying "it's good to see you", that aside, the way that Cory pointed out to me led me back outside, the only person I  can see though is that girl who slapped me, walking up behind her, she still hasn't noticed me, she's on the phone "I'm waiting for him right now… no zodiac he doesn't know who I am… no I'm not going to tell him, did he even remember you ?... No that what I thought, I don't even think he's the same person… okay I'll meet you back at where the wind blows" touching her shoulder she is surprised "fukv" she screams "wolf right (sure) alright I'm Monika I'm the forward operating scout for goliath (for how long) since you've been here… what you think Overwatch just had all that information (not really) it doesn't matter what matters now is getting you to the closest safe house" Monika seems very timid being around me, what she said about being the forward operating scout, does that mean she been helping me from the shadows, how could I have not noticed, I was probably blinded by own self desire to kill. either it be evil, or it being in the way. However stopping Saya and her Pandoran collective must come first, at whatever the cost, as me and Monika are walking she stop suddenly here and there as we make are way to the burrows, she then stop by pushing me against a wall, are faces are almost touching, I can feel her breathing on my neck "can I ask you something" she asks (go ahead) she slowly takes a step back "do you remember me? (No)... Why (what?) Why don't you remember me (I can't ) you can't or you won't (I don't see the point in this) you know about that scar on your left shoulder (yes) do you remember how you got it ?(no) what about the left one on your neck (no) what about (what is the point of this ?) Do you remember anything before you can to Goliath? (No!!! And that's my final answer listen here, my past doesn't matter, what matters is that I can get results) no it matters to me" she runs from me, chasing after her was particularly a challenge, because she's fast and her footsteps are as quiet as a leaf that hits the ground.

She runs into a cafe it's a three storey building, entering it I'm greeted by an VI system [hi my name it michael…. Uh he's alive] confetti pops out of the walls, someone jumps over the counter it's kotegawa, overwatch opens a door Mikki and Athena run through it, Jasmine as well as other members from John's old team. Mikki has already seen me but then jumps on me through the excitement, Athena follows up by doing the same, the clapping is non stop "oh my god, how could you ever leave your precious sister all alone with that hag" says Athena Overwatch return that comment by chasing her. I end up laughing louder than all of them, but my laughter is shortly interrupted by the torure that became of me while being held prisoner in that suit how Saya raped me, beat me, my laugh turns into tears I can't control it. Mr kotegawa picks me up, then he takes me into one of the upper rooms. He shuts the door after placing me on the bed, my body moves on its own, my hands lunge at him, is this reflex, is this ptsd, we fight, screaming at him as we trade blows, my face starts to smile, "James Huntley Adams stop" he says. My hands as well as my body falls to the ground, my body is then moved to the bed, there are voice speaking I think it's Overwatch, Athena, and Mr kotegawa their talking about if I'm fit to fight "he can still kill"says Athena "yes but at what cost, I mean he killed… he killed John… and…" Overwatch stops speaking "we know, we just can't tell them Michael [yeah teach] make sure he won't tell anyone [that still leaves out his psychic break] I'll watch him, you know what he need though Michael [what teach] maybe a good porn 'what, no he needs his sister' close those legs women, huh when need someone to calm him, hes was an animal in disguise, he's always been this way, no matter how hard he tries to change after all he is my son 'what are you getting at kotegawa' like me we settled are primal instincs through either sex, or basking in the blood of are enemies 'jesus Christ you are sick' shut up, we need him to act on those instincs, he'll be more useful we need someone who'd do anything and everything to achieve his goal 'and why can't you do that?' you know why ? 'oh yeah that thing with the promise to never kill…' that's correct… shh he can hear us let's leave Michael [yes] let only Monika in [you got it teach]" they leave the room, what just happened mr kotegawa, my father, but he looks so young, but I was an orphan, who is my mother then, how long has Overwatch known this, why didn't she tell me, where was he all my life, my mind is scrambling, no, none of that matters now what matters is taking down Pandora, someone walks in the room as I try to get up (Monika is that you) she walks towards me, sitting right next to me she then gets on top of me (Monika stop) my hand push her away as, then I lay my body up (why) "because you said I was your first and your only (what) I was there to numb the pain, I followed you everywhere…(stop crying, I'm sorry I don't remember) why… why…. I watched you save Saya for the first time, and I saw you kiss her, I watched you do it, you know how much that hurt me (Monika we only met just yesterday) no we met at that training facility for orphans (what… ahh my head) remember" my mind starts getting hit with flashes of a man in a red suit beating me training me, sending me to kill innocent people, even bad, he trained with other kids, this young girl she has emerald colored eyes, then it stops at me in front of Barrel with a picture of me smiling with a girl, we look beat up, I light it on fire then drop into the barrel, a limo then shows up in front of me, Monika then grabs my hand (your eyes "you remember!" Not everything) she then looks away very flustered "do you think… (we need to first stop Pandora then we can see if we can figure out where are relationship stands) but I waited so long" she starts to cry, these feels familiar, I then press my lips against hers (I'm going for a walk) I then turn my guise then take her gun.

I move through my cafe room (Michael gear [dresser there bud] you sound like an ass [thanks] fuck you ) opening there freezer I see helmet, placing it on fellt nostalgic it colored all red, due to the fact that cleaning off the blood get quiet difficult to clean, grabbing some of same when I go for a walk pistol, blade, but there is something in this dresser it's a broken katana, this is the katana that was broken in half when my body was in that suit, the other half of this killed Chris, grabbing it believing that I should honor him by using it. Feeling this helmet around the buttons are arranged different, almost similar to my own, on my hud it pops up that Pandora is making a move on an officials family going to the location I immediately see a bunch armored individuals rush through a door firing upon the officials, lunging at the group knife in hand they're caught by surprise, cutting through them like butter, I'm given a large bit of excitement {enjoying yourself?} Hearing that through my coms, paying it no mind my right hand generates a shield as I rush the last of the armored individuals after finishing them off the official grovels at my feet "thank you" (shut up you fucking scumbag, they kill those who they think bring pain, think on that) kicking him off of my feet. I make my way back to the cafe after following up on the location of their vehicles finding nothing but weapons, phones, and IDs. Monika is sleeping in my bed (Michael send all the file on me to my helmet [you got it boss]) all this information is clouded in black, none of it has information about a girl, she could, whatever it is, she is here, I miss Cidny. laying in my bed trying to fall asleep, there is a strange scent of gunpowder, opening my eyes to see Cidny standing above me she slaps me then punching my waking up Monika who seemed to have wrapped her arms around me "I leave--you for one day-- (I'm sorry) noo--- how many girls do you have huh (none stop hitting me) fuck you James Huntley Adams here take your fucking ring back (Cidny wait)" she leaves by grappling out the window "you were going to marry her… your a scumbag (no Monika just listen) nope you have good intentions, but your dumb"  she then slams my door in anger [ha] (fuck you Michael).
