Thread: What is Broken, Can Be Reforged (TicTac & Kay)

Everything was so loud, she could barely hear herself think, the unfamiliar noises ringing in her ears. All of her senses seemed to be on over drive. Everything was so bright even as she tried to look around her, the white lights hurting her light blue eyes, and the ground she sat upon was so hard as if solid stone. The familiar sound of human footsteps cut through all the noise and her head snapped up, and looked at the figure approaching, she only saw the outline of his body as he came closer. And then he began to speak... but what she did not know. She recognized the patterns in which he used, the inflections and even that she knew he wasnt actually talking to her but to something else completely. But about was completely lost upon her. Even though the bright lights hurt her dilated eyes she forced herself to watch as he moved closer, unable to back up any further, the beeping noises only getting faster. In truth she was frightened out of her mind, this wasnt home, this was nothing that she remembered and the instinctual need of flight to fight was starting to kick in and she could no longer flee... but there was one thing that seemed to be edging upon her thoughts.... Curiosity. Ever so slowly, timid to come out of hiding. He was speaking to her now... Calm. Safe? Two words she didnt know but she guessed, he was trying to sooth her like a frightened animal. Her brows furrowed as he got closer and she was able to see the features on his face, tired, like he hadnt slepted in days. He began to talk to himself again and she didnt care, simply wanted to listen to him speak. Her mind was ultimately advanced, the radiation had advanced her far beyond the state that she had been, her brain functioning at a higher level now than in what she would call her former life or even any of todays humans. So her brain was like a sponge, as soon as he started speaking she had already memorized each word and was trying to decipher what they meant even though she did not know she was doing it consciously or had any reference to what it all ways in the first place. Her learning began. Roura tried to move her shoulder as she watched it placed over her, not truly wanting the suspiciously snow colored material to touch her in fear it might be just that, as cold as snow. But she was pleasantly surprised when the light material rested upon her shoulders and knees, reaching out to feel it between her fingertips. Bradley Shaw.... Name?.... Name? There were those words again. She watched Im closely, his body, the way his hands pointed to himself and back at her. The strange black rock aiming towards her. She tentatively looked from it, to the male, and back to it as if to say what am I supposed to do with that? But she gave him what she thought that he wanted, clearing her dry throat, Name? She mimicked what he had just done, gesturing to himself, Aurora. Her voice had become foreign to her own ears. Bradley... S-Shaw... she said simply stating it because she now knew what it meant, but as she sat there she wasnt getting any warmer, her body heat still weak as she had been in ice for the past thousand or so years. She looked down at herself now and noted she pieces of what used to be her clothing around her, in pieces, she didnt care about Shaw seeing her body, she was more concerned with taking off ever piece of equipment that was attached to her so that she could move and get somewhere warmer. She started by taking off the heart monitors on her chest, hissing at the adhesive coming off, the ones upon her temples next, various machines now simply flatlining. An I.V. That was attracted to her arm had luckily not been torn from her vein, but she yelped in pain as she attempted to take it out. Angrily looking at him, What is this?! Get it off of me! In her own language which was a form of many of the earliest languages simply muddled all together seeing as her and her people spread across the countries taking pieces and portions of their language with them to develop into their own. Although she didnt know if she trusted the male enough to let him get it off of her, it was a true conundrum. She wanted it off but she didnt know how badly she needed it off.
