Thread: A Whole New Cyborg//Captain Levi & Velociraptor-Noise

He hadn't realized the new body would be so... twitchy. He hadn't realized a lot of things. It was amazing what could be casually forgotten over the course of four years hell-bent on revenge. Looking back, Genos realized that certainly there must have been a drastically shocking difference in the way he experienced the world around him after he'd first woken up in the Doctor's lab with nearly all of his flesh and body replaced with stronger, artificial parts. But revenge was all he'd thought about back then - all he'd thought about until rather recently, really. Or maybe the process of losing his organic senses and having them replaced with superior artificial allegories was somehow less shocking to a system than the reintroduction of those organics. Whatever the reason, even the process of walking was bringing him to a state of annoying distraction. For the first time in four years he could feel the fabric grain of his clothing as it folded and stretched with each step he took. Really, truly feel it. Not simply register the motion of the material through a complex algorithm coded through metal. Had it truly always been like this? Surely Doctor Kuseno had known how drastic the difference would be, but it was just as likely the good doctor knew also exactly how determined he was on this new upgrade - or was it a downgrade, all things considered? The doctor had been very clear that since their initial operations on Genos's body four years ago had been so dramatic there would be no possible way for him to truly return to the way he'd been before. The basic cyborg skeleton that had replaced his human one would have to remain, there as simply no way around it. The fact hadn't even wilted Genos's resolve once the doctor had gone onto explain that, despite this, there was an available in-between. The good doctor was ever blessed with a miraculous sense of foresight. He'd retain samples of Genos's cell-tissues, perhaps in anticipation of something exactly like this happening, knowing the doctor. It had taken weeks after he'd made the initial request, but Dr. Kuseno had managed to outfit him with a skin and muscle chest, torso and hips that were so close to human he would be indistinguishable... or would be if not for the fact that the skin ended at his neck, shoulders and mid-way down his thighs. That seemed rather inconsequential to Genos. The doctor, who spent at least half of his overall time in his lab piecing Genos back together, had suggested the design in a likely over-ambitious hope that he'd have to regrow as little skin and muscle as possible. Genos had listened silently to the doctor's instructions and warnings regarding his newly augmented body, ever the polite young man even though his newly over-sensitive body was literally itching to get back home. The important part was that he was still completely repairable, albeit through a more complicated, painful process. That, and of course, that he'd gotten what he'd wanted A body that was capable of the things that real human bodies could do. He was incredibly grateful once again to Doctor Kuseno, not only for heeding his labor-intense request, but for for remaining relatively silent through the process. He had little doubt that the doctor knew exactly where he'd gotten the idea and why he desired it. It didn't really bother him. What did, strangely enough, was the prospect of speaking on the subject with someone - other than the very specific someone who'd brought all this about. Speaking of whom, Genos only hoped that he hadn't missed anything of great import while he'd been away for the lengthy operations. Finally arriving home he raised a hand to the door but stopped... He paused, raising a hand to his cheeks which were warm and flush. That too was new. Genos took several lengthy, measured breaths before opening the door. Sensei?
