Abby and I made it back to base about half an hour ago, everyone was quiet when I was around, I couldn't blame them...that's the right reaction to seeing a monster. Fisher was no different.
"Um..."
I turned around and saw Mia. She was swaying back and forth, clearly embarrassed, or scared. It was probably the latter.
"Hey Mia...sorry you had to witness what I did earlier" I said
"Oh! No no, it's fine! I...I was told to give you these." Mia said, shooting her hands out towards me.
She was holding out a folded hoodie, pants, and...an arm?
"What's this for?" I asked
"F...for you...Fisher and Jessica helped make these, Fisher said these will help you." Mia stuttered
I took the clothing and the arm, I kept looking at the arm. The fingers were a goldish yellow, while the center of the hand and the thumb were black. The forearm was black and yellow with a streak of white.
"I'm going to put this stuff on, but how do I put on the arm?" I asked
"Oh! If...you don't mind...I...I could help!" Mia babbled
"Oh...sure...you could help" I replied
Mia and I went to my room with the gear, I sat the stuff done on the bed. Staring with the hoodie, I took off my jacket and was going to take off my shirt before....
"Awawaaaa!!!" Mia screamed
"W...what is it?!" I asked
"I...I...I..." Mia stumbled
I took off my shirt.
"Relax, if you want to leave that bad, how about we start with my arm." I offered
"O...okay" Mia said, grabbing the prosthetic arm
She sat down next to me and started to fumble around with my stub, I couldn't help but notice her staring at me.
"S...something catch your eye?" I asked
"No! It's nothing!" Mia cried
She continued working on my arm.
"You have a wonderful build..." She mumbled
"t...thanks" I said
"You remind me a lot of my ex" Mia said
"Aren't you a little too young to be having a serious relationship?" I asked
"It's not like you didn't start at my age!" Mia cried
She did have a point...well, I started at a much younger age.
"What was he like?" I asked
"He was strong, athletic, talented, and...handsome, like...you" Mia stated, mumbling on the last part
"Oh..." I replied, not sure on how to respond
We sat there in silence for a while before I finally spoke up.
"What happened? With you I mean, why were you so mad at that dead soldier." I asked
She was silent for a while before she replied
"It was my parents, they died" Mia replied
