24 A Get Together

After the entourage of researchers greeted him at the door of the observation room they all went to a different room to do a check up the same as last time. They took blood, three the same as last time. Checked his blood pressure and made sure that he was in good health.

Thankfully the researchers didn't touch him down there.

Rad was in the room seeing everything happen. He hanging around in the back as usual. He would stop a researcher that was on their break to brief them on what is happening. The researcher would comply and let then turn his attention back on what is happening.

"Last test everyone." Beliz addressed the crowd of loyal researchers following his orders and up holding them as though words from a god.

Titania sat on top of a examination table with his back straight. A wave of excitement filled him when he heard this. While he was stilled filled with energy, these constant check up procedures were taking a mental toll on him.

"Last test is the reflex test, the test with the most fun," Beliz said, then a researcher from the crowd with a reflex hammer came out and went to Titania.

The researcher was a woman didn't young or old. She had a faint sense of beauty, enough to draw attention but not enough to hold it for long. She had thick black hair that made up for such lack of resources.

As she was walking to Titania she had a glint in her eye as she stared at him. As she got closer Titania felt unease creeping down his neck and down his back. All of his attention turned to her.

She got to an appropriate distance and held the reflex hammer in front of his face and gave a quick description of what she was going to do with it.

She then gave a light tap on Titania's knee and his system gave a off a huge amount of notifications in rapid succession.

[Warning: Run!]

[Warning, in presence of ??? Advised to get away immediately]

[Host's level is too low to attack]

[Attacked by ???]

[System can't give information on subject attacking host, as its level is too low]

Titania's knee jerked in response to being hit and all of the researchers made note of it. The researcher with the hammer gave a small wink to Titania as though tempting him to attack. To fall into a trap that he can't get out of.

She hits his other knee and is greeted by the sight of notifications appearing in front of him again.

[Attacked by ???]

[Host knows who is attacking]

[Recalculating...]

When Titania read this cocked his head a bit, which made the researchers flustered a bit. Didn't his nerves reconnect properly is there a chance that something else is mixed up? This didn't concern them for long as they saw his knee move in response.

[Host attack by the Entity]

When Titania saw this appear in front of him many questions filled his head. What was it doing here? Is it going to kill me? Does it know that I am not from here?

A powerful being like the Entity, or Leonor, can destroy cities with the flick of their wrist should the wind blow a certain way. Finding out that someone is from a different world or universe wouldn't be out of the scope of their power.

With these thoughts coursing through his head, fear filled his bones. Cold sweat started to trickle down his neck. It cools him down as the drips down his hot neck.

His heart quickens, sending alerts to the machines around him. It pounds so hard that his chest starts to hurts and feels it in his throat, making it feel as though he can't breath.

The walls around him start getting closer to him, as though to snuff him out. His breathing starts get faster and fainter. The blood coursing through his own body, if you can call it blood now, starts to feel thicker, as though his veins might pop.

He starts feeling light headed, his head throbs with pain as such fearful thoughts course.

'No, NO!' He screams to himself, 'I have just earned my freedom, my will, a new start! And there she is, ready to clip my wings before they develop. Ruining fresh soil for the seed to grow in. Drinking the water meant to nourish the plant. Snipping the bud right before it blooms into a magnificent flower. There she is!'

His fingernails start to break the fabric of the examine table that he sat on, bringing up the cotton stuffing in the process.

'And she stares at me. With bloodlust in her eyes, as though feeding on my fears, growing with each thought I have,' His breathing starts turning audible enough for the whole research team to hear him.

In a desperate moment, he reaches out and grabs the Entity's arm and holds it firmly. He pulls them towards himself, surprising easily, and whispers into her ear.

"I know what you are. I know what you have done, I know what can kill you." He whispers with his voice cracking in fear and the desire for control. This is his moment, to break free of his worries and fears. To live the way that he wants to, without any fear or doubt.

"I know you, Leonor."
