"Can I take a look at your body?" Bruce asks.
"Like I take off my shirt or something?" I ask confirming.
"Yeah,"
"You know I'm probably covered in dirt," I say. Ive also not taken a look at my body in, i don't even know how long its been.

"Well you can take a shower first then," that sounds nice.
"Ok. Where do I go?" I ask standing up.
"Oh right." He stands up and starts walking to the door and opens it for me. I go first and we start walking down the hall.

"So do you workout or something?" He asks me still holding the clipboard.
"No, i just go to school and try to find food." I say.
"You know Tony could probably help you out" he states.
"That would be too much to ask for."
"Well I'll talk to him about it."

He stops walking and opens a door. "This is it," he says.
"Thank you."
"No problem,"
"What do I wear after I get out?"
"Ummm. You'll probably fit Steve's clothes, I'll be back just a minute." He runs off down the hall leaving me there.

I stand there for a couple more minutes when that blond ripped guy comes up to me.
"Bruce said you'd need some clothes." He hands me some clothes and looks at me.
"Hey you're pretty tall kid"
"Yeah I guess"
"Well I'll probably see you later" he runs off down the hall and I go into the bathroom.

I knew this guy was rich but HOLY SHIT. Everything seems like its made of diamonds or something. I get into the shower and finally figure out how I turn it on and hop in. One of the shower walls is a mirror so I start to look at myself and stand shocked. First of all I'm kinda ripped which is AWSOME, two I have scars like everywhere on my body. Was I attacked by a raccoon or some shit?

And my hair looks really cool so that's also a plus. But I also have abs and shit so that's cool.

After I finish my shower I get out and dry off then put on the clothes I was given and there not that big. I start walking down the hall to the hospital room thing when I start to think. How am I gonna hide all the scars? And how am I going to get them to believe that I don't know where they came from?

I'll figure it out when I get there.

I open the door and see Bruce waiting for me.

"Are you ready?" He asks getting his clipboard.
"Yeah," I say.
"Ok I'll need you to take off your shirt," he says. I take off my shirt and he looks shocked. At what? I'm not really sure. It could be because I'm ripped or because of the scars.

Either one.

"What happened to you" he asks walking towards me.
"I can't remember," I say.
"Well none of them look fresh or like they would make you forget something." He walks around me looking at me.
"What's this?" He asks pointing to a small red dot on my arm.
"Maybe I slept on a small stick?" I say and ask.
"Maybe, but it looks like a needle or something."
"I'm sure it's fine," I say. Maybe I forgot that I took some needle drug or something.
"You're right, It's probably fine," he says walking over to another bed.

"I'm gonna have to do an x-ray on you since I can't see anything wrong." He says.
"Oh ok. So I just lay on that?" I point to the bed with a tube behind it.
"Yeah"
"Ok"

I lay down on the bed and the bed move into the tube and over a speaker I hear.
"Don't move."
"Ok," I say. I stay still for about 10 minutes before he pulls the bed out.
"So what's wrong?" I ask.
"Well your hippocampus seems to be all good," he says.
"My what?" I ask.

"It's the part of the brain that holds the memories," he says.
"Oh,"
"And nothing seems to be wrong so. I don't really know why you can't remember things." He says. I put my shirt back on and ask,
"Well what now?"
"I. Don't know," he says. "I mean we could monitor you for a couple weeks and see what happens,"
"Oh, ok," I say.

"Come on lets go talk to Tony," he says starting to walk out. I follow him to the elevator and we ride down 75 floors. When we get out of the elevator we walk over to Tony.
"So. Do you wanna stay here?" He asks.
"I would rather not be in this big tower," I say. There's too many people here,
"Ok, I'll get you an apartment room near the school."
"Really?" I ask.
"Yeah, can't have you sleeping on the ground." He says.
"Uh thank you then," I say.
"Come on lets go find one." He says. Peter runs into the room and we leave in Tony's fancy car.

"So you got anything back in the ally we need to pick up?" Tony asks.
"I don't think so," I have my backpack on my lap because I don't want anyone to take my drugs, and I'm just protective over my stuff. We stop at this building and walk in.
"Hi, I'm here to buy an apartment." He says pulling out his credit card.
"We have a couple for sale," the man at the desk says.

"Lets go check them out then." Tony says.

We check out all the apartments and I choose one and Tony buys it. He also pays out the rent for 2 years.
"Alright kid, every month I'll come by and take all the bills off your hands."
"I- thank you Tony." I say still processing it.
"You don't have to thank me, I already know I'm amazing." He says and I laugh under my breath.

"Alright well. I'll leave you to it," tony says and starts to walk out of the building.
"I'll see you later Rylan." Peter says following Tony.

I walk up to my new apartment and unlock it with my key. I walk in and theres already a mattress on the floor in the corner. I put my back pack on the ground next to the bed and lay down. This mattress is. The comfiest thing I've ever been on. I end up falling asleep.
