Chapter 3: Faithful Encounter

"Gotta keep moving, gotta keep moving"

"Need to find her"

"It looks like I've finally found you"

"W...W...Who are you?"

"My name is Glynda Goodwitch and I am here to save you"

"A...Are you a huntress?"

"Yes, yes I am"

"There there young man, you are safe now, no one will ever hurt you again"

I rember that day very well, I remember how I was saved from the torture that I experienced at the hands of those crazed scientists. I also remember the things that they did to me, the things they made me do. I wake up from the nightmares of the things the made me do, the pain of the experiments and the blood I spilled in those simulations they put me through. I still remember the things that my father and sister did to me on top of that. I can never close my eyes without seeing and reliving all of the horrible things that have happened to me when I was younger. It's a good thing that my body doesn't require sleep to keep going.

From what my saviors, Glynda Goodwitch and Ozpin told me about the experimentation that was done to me enhanced my body as well as my semblance. My body could already adapt to certain things but due to the experimentation, it could adapt to anything and everything. My I could breath under water or in the vacuum of space. I could survive severe temperatures meaning I could be in subzero temperatures or even survive inside of a volcano or the surface of the sun. Not only that but semblance allowed my body to survive surges of electrical energy either conducting it or simply absorbing it, making me stronger.

There was a lot more that my body could do, I could survive strong poisons, toxins and venoms. My body could heal faster from any type of wound, I could regrow limbs and much more. I could also alter my body in many ways like becoming completely invisible or becoming dense to the point where my body was bullet proof and much more. I could also copy and nullify other people's sembalnces, even permanently making them mine adding to my own semblance. Some might see all this power as a gift and something to appreciate, I otherhand view it as curse.

I wake up every morning to gold eyes that were once silver and an eye that allows me to see great distances, through any material or in x-ray or thermal. I wake up with one arm as my right arm is a bio tech one that thanks to nano bots in my body, it can transform into different weapons. Speaking of the nano bots in my body, these tiny machines basically make me a monster that can't be killed. The pain I've experienced has made it to the point where I no longer show any emotions whatsoever. I can't laugh, I can't smile, I can't cry, no matter what, all I can have is a blank and emotionless look on my face.

I've thought about going back to Patch and my family there but I don't know what will happen. I don't know what my father or sister Yang will do if they see me again. I don't know if I could face Ruby after all those years of being away from her. If I were to see her again, I'm sure all I'd see is me killing her over and over again. Those simulations those scientists put me through really did a number on my head. My brain which I could use all of us now, was full of instincts that I didn't know what to do with. The programming to be the perfect soldier, the perfect weapon were inside of me and I was doing all that I could to keep them from activating.

I haven't told Ozpin or Glynda about who my family is and I no it's wrong considering that they saved me and Glynda took me in, becoming my guardian. I'd tell them but I don't know what they'll do when the find out what happened to me. My father, my mother and uncle trained at Beacon Academy, the very school that Ozpin is headmaster of and where Glynda teaches. It was just something that I wanted to push off to the side and never deal with. I was happy with my life or at least that's what I think given my lack of emotions.
