When I woke up I was looking at a black haired woman in her late twenties... She was staring directly at me: "Good, you're awake." She said in English with a slight Japanese accent... I suddenly realized what this meant, and sat up uptight... I understand what English meant! Not only that... I understood what every object in the room was meant for! As I looked around, I could see a television, a radio, a couch and other household appliances.
The woman seemed surprised that I just sat up like that, and looked at me questioningly. Before asking who the FUCK she was, I looked around further. From the looks of the various household appliances, I seemed to be in a rather fancy city apartment, laying on the couch... How the heck do I even know what a fancy city apartment is?!
As I mulled over that question, the woman spoke again, her voice reminding me of her presence. "Hey... Did Lady Liberty forget to teach you English or something? Speak to me!" The woman seemed to have the patience of a teen, as she got quite irritated by me ignoring her for just a few seconds... But could you blame me?!
Suddenly something caught my attention from the corner of my eye... I quickly turned around as the woman said something again... But I was too distracted by the fact I saw... A window, looking out onto an enormous city! For some reason, I instantly recognized the city as New York City, America's largest city!
I had never seen a view even similar to it... Buildings reaching for the skies, built from materials I had never seen before. Streets filled with people wearing all types of different clothing that even kings on my planet would not be able to afford... Vehicles the size of carriages, and faster than horses... And I recognized it all! I could name every brand of car and clothing down in the street... I could even recognize some of the buildings, and when they were constructed... All the buildings and people together, It all looked magical. This was nothing like I have ever seen before "It's... It's majestic!" I said as I looked through the windows with fascination.
The woman spoke up... "No it isn't majestic, it's riddled with poverty, crime and racism." She said in a tone of arrogance and irritation, as if she was angry the man was focussing on the city instead of her. As he looked at the man that Lady Liberty had sent, she could not help but wonder if he really was the right man for the job... Yes he was white. And he also seemed to have enough looks to become president... But so far his charisma did not seem to be that good... And why the fuck is he ignoring her?! "Now, talk to me!" As the woman said that, she made a pout that the man couldn't see...
The man had again completely forgotten the woman... And then he suddenly realized he was being very rude. Not only that, he also wanted to know why he was here! And currently, she seems to be the only one who could explain that to him!
"R-right..." He turned around to face her... "Who are you exactly?" He had only now realized he knew absolutely nothing about the woman! Why was she here?! Why did she want to speak to him?! She got a satisfied smile, having finally achieved the full attention of the newcomer: "I am an angel working for Lady Liberty... I have been sent down to earth in 1941, to investigate Imperial Japan... After the war ended, I was sent to New York City to report any developments in the United States to her... To mortals I am known by the name of 'Emma Takahashi' I changed my first name to a more American one... I immigrated to the United States after the war, and served in the Korean War as apart of the Women Army Corps... I met you in a field hospital south of Seoul."
The man was entirely taken aback by what Emma had told him... An angel?! Those exist?! Well, he had already confirmed gods exist... So an angel is not that far fetched... But she had been here since '41?! Have the gods been messing with this world before?! And what did she mean with them having met?! He had never even seen her before! "What do you mean we met south of Seoul?!" Emma merely sighed, the sigh sounded very disappointed: "Do you really not realize?" She asked as she crossed her arms and looked at the man. Her voice displayed an annoyance... Why was this so called Angel being so arrogant?!
