Chapter 4 - parental issues

"I can see..." Andrew would touch his face, feeling the glasses that were sealed onto him. Seemingly that they couldn't come off of him. Andrew would be amazed by the advanced tech on his face as he looked around quietly around his surroundings to get a taste on how the world he lives in looks like.

"H-How.. How did you do this?.." Andrew asked, still amazed and shocked by how the glasses on his face worked.

"We didn't do anything.. we knew of your arrival to this facility a long time ago when your parents.. decided to create these for you." Vector would respond, twirling his finger around the tips of his facial hairs, smirking.

"My.. parents?... what..?"

"They were amazing agents here in the edg.. your father and mother both met here in this same facility and worked hard together and eventually fell in love.. however, after they had you, they knew the consequences of having a child and especially one that was blind.. they had to let you go for your safety as this job is not easy." The commander would lean against a table behind her with her gloved hands at each side of her, as she gazed over at Andrew when explaining to him.

"I.." Andrew would frown sadly with the overwhelming information, looking up at her. "What happened to them? Are they still alive-? If they created this, then they must be wanting me back, right?"

The commander would go silent for a moment, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, Andrew. But they're dead."

Andrew could feel his world sinking, despite him never meeting them. Andrew would've wanted to at least say his first words to his parents, squeezing his hands together, knowing now he can never do that. Turning his head back up towards them both, speaking in a much quieter tone than he was before. "How... did they die..?"

Vector trailed one of his fingers along against his long facial hair and twisting the end them around that finger as he turned his head to the commander and then back at Andrew. "They.. died fighting like heroes.. brave, strong.. and in their final moments together, they shared their death swiftly.. and painless..."

Andrew continued to sink his head lower when hearing vector speaking of them. "That doesn't answer me.. how and who were they fighting-"

The commander places one of her hands on her hip as he leaned to the side, staring over at Andrew in a cold stare. "There are masses of evil that the normal human beings are unable to understand. But trust us when we say this, they were strong and brave till the very end.. if you truly wish for closure then what I can only give you is their picture together and a letter that was left for you when you were ready to leave the orphanage and obtain your glasses."

"They were planning to come for me..?" Andrew would think to himself, processing her words for a moment and eventually just nod his head.

The commander strayed to trot off, taking off with Andrew behind her and leading him into another room.

Vector watched them walked off, closing the small vault by feet and just twisted his facial hair with his crooked finger, having a slight grin on his face and turning back slowly to do his work.

Andrew would just take in the moment again to look at everything around him, touching his arms infront of himself to see what he actually looked like since he only got the description from rhys trying to explain it to him. Some tears would escape from under the glasses as he felt slightly emotional from everything just happening within matter of minutes.

Commander Rose turned to see what he was doing, tapping her leathered gloved finger against the table next to her as she spoke abruptly, "I'll give you the room in a moment. However, there is something I wish to ask of you."
