Velocity

Chapter 3

It was in the afternoon when I hailed a cab and told the driver to head towards Colt Industries

Colt Industries was the leading brand in bleeding-edge medical technology; It's founder, Thomas Stephen Colt, had wanted to achieve a next level medical system in America and he had accomplished what he had wanted; They have supplied hospitals with state-of-the-art portable autopsy devices that can scan and asses damage or complications on the body

This company is where my sister, Kate, had been applied to through though academic training and years away from our family.

------------------------------------

I entered the building and instead of heading to the lobby, I went straight to the bathroom. I entered the wash room and looked at myself in the mirror

Geez, when was the last time I took a haircut I said as I swept my fairly long, brown hair backwards and stood there looking at myself

My face look tired, my eyes were a little baggy from my sleepless night, I looked alot my father with my fairly square jaws and deep brown eyes.

I splashed water in my face to, refresh myself, dried up and then left to go to the lobby.

I talked to the receptionist about appointment and was directed to my sister's lab/office hybrid, on my way there I saw a portrait of my sister hanging on a wall, her resemblance was more motherly contrary to my resemblance to my father, her short cut brown hair looked much the same and her soft featutes reminded me of my mother's warmth

I stood at the door which opened a few seconds later.

My sister saw me and gave an awkward sisterly hug then after a few seconds let go of me and put both hands on my shoulders

"So how's my little brother doing?" She asked

"Im fine sis, how 'bout you"

"Oh how I've missed you." She cried out

"Uhm, no need to be dramatic sis its only been a few months... I guess."

"Well I missed you so come in" she gestured towards the open lab doors. I entered and was extremely overwhelmed with the amount of lab equipment and chemicals that surrounded me

"So what have you been doing lately" She questioned

"Well, your just full of questions aren't you? Anyways I haven't had much to do lately." I replied

"Why don't you work here? You have a robotics engineering degree don't you. You could help around and make new devices." She suggested talking rather quickly

"Okay calm down, I was considering it but I'm not so sure" I replied

"Anyways.." I continued, "How are you after, you know, uhm what happened" I mentioned awkwardly about the death of her fianceé, Edward, which was probably not the most appropriate thing to say as my sister's smile suddenly dropped,

"You know that I don't like talking about that." She said

"I-I'm really sorry about what happened." I apologised

"So moving on" she sighed and put back her cheery demeanour on "this is my assisstant: Misaka Tori." She said gesturing towards a stunning woman with long black hair and a very white lab coat who smiled awkwardly and waved.

"Hello" she said simply

"H-Hi there" I nervously waved back

"She just came in yesterday asking for an internship to be my lab assisstant." My sister cut in.

"So what did you come here for." My sister asked while I noticed Misaka going somewhere else.

"Here" I said is I pulled out my hand from my jacket pocket and shook it until it vibrated extremely fast, creating lots of afterimages.

"Oh my god." My sister's jaw dropped as she saw the display of my powers.

"How, W-What!" She continued still her jaw still on the floor while her hands were on her head so amazed about it.

"That's what I want to know too." I said nervously and stopped.

"Uhm, okay I'll run some tests and I'll get you sorted out." She said walking towards her table getting various equipments "That's impossible." I heard her muttering as she walked to and fro

I am in for a rough day I thought to myself.
