Restoration (Old)

Chapter 22: Solo No More

I slowly sat up on the bed slowly and looked around, The walls, floor and roof where all white with 2 blue curtains up around different places. 3 other empty beds were visible and, to my knowledge, no one was around. I oved on from the room to start inspecting my body, my top and hoodie having been removed, showing several dark blue blotches around my chest and belly.

???: "Ah, Jets, you are awake."

A lady wearing a white uniform came in through a set of double doors at the other end of the room with a clipboard in hand.

???: "No major damage but you were unconscious. I hear you fought Ichigo of all people. I am amazed at how well the leaders said you did to be honest."

I just watched her as she wrote on different pages all being held on the board.

???: "I am afraid you will have to head out at some point soon though, you are being given a mission in about half an hour by one of your superiors. You will have to head out of this ward, turn right, go down the hall to the second set of doors, turn left and head down towards the Elevator and take it down to floor 6, you are currently on floor 9 by the way, and then it will be the fifth door on the left. you got all that?"

I blinked a little then looked at the floor trying to process what was wrong with her.

Jets: "Where is my-?"

She suddenly threw my shirt and hoodie onto me then went behind one of the curtains that had been set up. I paused for a moment before slowly lifting my shirt up and slipping it on, opting just to tie my hoodie around my waist today. I left quickly, entering a long white hall that had multiple people walking back and forth between different rooms all either set up with beds or desks. These people in white coats or outfits raised their hand or nodded their head to me as they walked by and into other rooms. I opted to quickly head down the hall in the direction the lady had given to me, quickly reaching the elevator. I stood there in silence with my thoughts.

Thoughts of all sorts, what am I meant to do, how am I going to deal with being solo no more and having to take orders, how do I work these elevators and where was my life going to go.

I stared at the steel metal doors, a small pad beside them with a triangle and an identical but upside down triangle just below it. Where I am from we would have a scanner to read your palm, and then it was all voice controlled on the inside. I pushed the triangle and it lit up.

Jets: "hmm..."

I then pushed the other triangle and it lit up too. Just as I was about to touch the first triangle again, the door opened to reveal an elevator and someone standing inside it. They stood in a black uniform, her entire outfit matching the colour, alongside a pair of gloves that showed the back of her hands

???: "Ah, operator GV35? it is great to meet you. I am DB7, we are going to be on the same operations team for our next mission."

Her smiled beamed in my direction as I stepped into the elevator. my only thought was that of relief knowing that I wouldn't have to try and figure out how this worked.

Jets: "I am sorry what did you just call me?"

???: "GV35, it is the way we give codenames here in the KRSS."

Jets: "Call me Jets or call me Geno. I don't like GV35. now what is your name?"

I looked into the mirror on the wall inside the elevator, sorting my hair a little.

???: "DB-"
Jets: "Real name sweetheart, it is more respectful."

???: "oh, okay. My name is Georgina. Nice to meet you Jets."
