Chapter 12 - CHAPTER 11: TRUE DECEPTION ,LIES ARE TRUTH IF YOUR TRUSTED

Nathaniel looked at his arms flexing, the muscles in them coiling as phantom cramps fades from his eyes you could still see the slight exertion of effort it took for him to move this was accompanied by mild pains he was experiencing from rapidly twitching muscle fibers in his body, he tensed as he forced his body under control as his expression relaxed, He exhaled in relief as the cramps stopped entirely he looked down at the hospital garments he dressed in they were slightly baggy which he enjoyed as he cracked his back , arms and knuckles releasing all tension as he smiled a light in his eyes that felt uncanny to anyone who would have seen him only months before. He picked up the phone he had temporarily left on the bed, it unlocked using face i.d , his fingerprints were also registered, He began to inspect it ,he was feeling off about it. There was information, information on him who he was what he liked specialized accounts all modest in interests fitness the arts and his work, a curated profile of his life yet he felt no recognition. This was insight, insight to who he was he needed to know more, more about who he was.

He opened up the gallery app , scanning through the albums and pictures, pictures of him and a few people, he didn't recognize them , one person specifically a female close to his own age, she frequently appeared in photos with him as if they were close intimate even. She sported dark brown hair that almost appeared black , brown pupils with eyes in that were strikingly beautiful , fem fatale was an aesthetic she embodied. She appeared beside him in a majority of those photos ,some times happy like one they took in an amusement park or at a cinema even in a living room where they cuddled it was a selfie, there was also a hidden folder which he opened curiously it required a pin which he instinctively knew 4-3-2-2 , what came up were some spicy picks which made heat rising to his face, his heart rate increasing rapidly, he exited the app going through the other apps and the rest of its contents for the next hour looking himself up on public records, reading up on everything.

His name was Nathaniel Alderman , born on the twenty-first of February in the year 4950,after humanities resurgence on Atheris, Blood type AO, status orphaned, his augment listed as muscle stockpile the segment on his augment was personally of to him,  his residence was listed as located in Aegis Blue, other information showing that he was a first year university student at the Atanaka institute, as well as a personal assistant and or confidant named as Ginah Esker.

He sat upright as he felt someone approach his room as the doctor walked in Professor Wolfsbane had come in , he was in his human form along with the nurse , who did her best to hide her facial expression and her embarrassment , his eyes caught a glimpse of her name tag , it read Merel Canon.

Professor Wolfsbane began to speak, "Mr. Alderman, glad to see you awake."

Nathan watched wolfsbane walk up to him he had asked him to test a few movements. Audible cracks were herd as he loosened the tension in his muscles.

after a short examination as wolfsbane said that everything was in working order his vitals were up to snuff stronger than other average knights yet his energy levels were still low always blanking out, each time you regained consciousness you seemed to lose a level of cognition as he said this on Nathaniel's nape glew a symbol that was rewiring his thoughts wolfsbane cursed internally he couldn't fully rewire his mind or breach his soul there was interference like the dataset that had been corrupted the gaps in his memory could be explained a form of feedback loop caused by his interference , although his could be salvaged if everything went to plan.

"I've diagnosed you with dissociative amnesia , this indicated trauma considering your line of work and the fact that you were among the casualties of the recent anomaly, The Sector V Collapse Treatment will be offered funded by the emergency fund,

He stopped listening a while ago something was wrong within him it was like something had clicked into place inside him a new sensation a new cramp , spasm involuntary flex some thing he couldn't do before like he was holding on to a guns trigger or holding a hand over an obvious big red button, his silver eyes began to glow a dim cyan as sparks of kinetic energy sparked over his form arching up and down across his limbs, his veins glew dimly underneath his skin , the pale glow of his augment, he had awakened his augment this settled it he now believed who he was after all blood and biology never lied the soul doesn't lie, now even if he had amnesia and wasn't very trusting he would work with them to regain his identity and memories.

The nurse, Meren had recomposed herself as she looked at him shyly from behind the clipboard, she was holding as she got over the shock of the temporary activation of his augment she smiled tossing her hair back her horn and her forest green hair saying as she guided him back onto his hospital bed she had , wheeled in a tray of food , which had made Nathan's nose flare up as he looked at the food, surprisingly it was good more like homemade dishes compared to the subpar food one would normally expect from hospitals, a simple full english breakfast the had flexed his fingers trying to get them under fine motor control to use a fork as he began to eat only for his fingers beginning to spark rapidly as the offending utensil was shot into the opposing wall surprising Merel with the action as his fingers continued to twitch this was an involuntary movement, turns out the constant muscle spasms were generating the power required , Merel has suggested feeding him which he had accepted with no objection.
