Are YOU okay?

2 - questions

I really enjoyed writing this chapter. Let me know how you feel about this story! Gimme your feedback! If you see any mistakes feel free to correct me and I'll change them (I'm writing this super late so there might be a few). I'm much happier with this story starting after MD's canon ending because there's so much more I can do with this and so many different directions I can run. I don't have to worry about plot points so it'll be nice being able to write without any worry of missing events from the show. Ok, that's all from me, luv ya

Aris's POV

"I don't need your help. I was just about to get up and climb out of there myself."

"Right, like you knew there was a staircase in the labs on the opposite end of the hole. You need help. Just let me help you, at least enough to get you back on your feet. Literally."

J groaned, rolling her glitching eyes on her very cracked visor.

"So, mind telling me how you ended up in those labs in your condition?" I questioned, looking at the severed drone I was carrying. She looked away from me for a few seconds before answering.

"I fell."

"Uh-huh. You just so happened to trip and fall into that massive hole, not even trying to catch yourself with your wings?"

I noticed the drone's eyes widen briefly before changing into a more offended look, eyebrows creased, and mouth in a frown. "Of course, I tried saving myself. My wings were too large to use with all of the debris around me. They got damaged during the fall."

Avoided my main question. Interesting. I bet she wasn't alone before she fell. Maybe she was originally with this Tessa character? Tessa must've been a human, no drone would mistake a human for a drone. I may have a gas mask covering the bottom half of my face, but my eyes are clearly visible. And they aren't exactly glowing on a visor.

"Makes sense. You run a diagnostic? Obviously, your internal healing systems are damaged. I wonder why that is... Something probably happened to that fucking solver bitch–"

"You know about the solver?"

"The solver almost destroyed Earth, killed billions of people, and made all of the drones down on Earth go crazy-berserk. I know the solver. Anyone who's ever existed on Earth knows about the solver. The government's pretty pissed with JCJenson right now."

The drone looked at me in shock, taking in all of the information I just dumped on her slowly and meticulously. I could tell by her features that she had many questions.

"You uh, okay?"

"Yes. Question, Earth's intact? JCJenson is still a functioning company?"

"Yes? Earth took a small hit when that solver bitch first started infecting drones and taking over their systems, but it's intact. Desolate, sure, but intact. As for JCJenson, they kinda abandoned their main facility and fled somewhere. Probably to another planet."

"What do you mean, Earth's desolate? Also, JCJenson fled? They'd never do that."

"That's correct. First, JCJenson did flee. They're gone. It was all over the news a few months ago. I have a feeling the FBI had something to do with that, but no one knows. Secondly, Earth is completely desolate, completely empty. Due to the solver's attempt at a takeover, we, the humans, fled to another planet in a nearby solar system. Planet 0302, more commonly known as Ferax. A Latin word meaning fertile. The planet was named this due to its abundant wildlife and ability to inhabit lifeforms. Ferax has been known for a long time by many scientists, but we haven't had the technology to travel to a planet that many light-years away. Fortunately for us, JCJenson decided to leave all of their ships behind when they fled. We don't know how they got off the planet without them, but many have predicted that they've made newer types of spaceships without telling anyone and escaped on those. What we do know is that they're gone. Anyways, we escaped the planet using their landing pods/spaceships that they left behind and we fled to Ferax. That was about four months ago."
