All day and night they stood up even if Elian in his condition he should have been resting, his pride and will just couldn’t accept this feeling of weakness. “Can I try walking now?” but Elian was in no condition yet to walk his strength was slowly coming back, very slowly, but as Elian is a simple No was not going to stop him. “ Sir you are too weak please lets just have some rest and we continue tomorrow, according to Dimoni you should be feeling better by then” Elian rolls his eyes and sighs lowering his head “You’re not going to let me try are you?” he ask his nurse. Nurse William then gently push him back helping him lay on the bed “Well I guess that answer my question, gee” The nurse then covers Elian with a quilt and walks over to the light switch “Goodnight Mr. Allen, sleep well” Elian sighs and replies “Please don’t call me Mr. Allen.. It makes me feel like I’m old.. Call me Elian or Bandit or something else.” The nurse smiles and does as he said “Goodnight Elian then Elian replies “Goodnight!” while smiling.
The nurse then switch off the lights and Elian was peaking in the night, he tried using his night vision but it just did not work. “Crap!” he yells mad at his inability, “what the hell is wrong with me?!” he shouts angry “This is so freaking frustrating!” Elian then struggling feeling pain on his chest he sits up on the edge on the bed. “I’ll do things my way” Elian lowers one of his feet steady on the cold floor. Then he does the same with his other feet and using his arm groaning he tries to stand to his feet unbalance and struggling he manage to actually stand.
“So much for science, huh? Weak? I’ll show them.. I’ll be walking this base in no time”
Unlike Elian thought he was not alone in the command center Samuel, Elisa, Mishiko, nurse Williams and others were watching through the night vision system of the R.O.R cameras on the room. “Oh, my son- he is more like me than I thought.. Always standing up to authority” The nurse shake her head in disapproval “He should be doing this” the nurse then turns around and heads to the room. “What are you talking about he is doing great” at the conclusion of those words Elian tries to step forward and he drops face first to the floor breaking the machinery he was connected too setting off the emergency alarm on the medical section. “Well.. He was doing OK” Mishiko then walks out the room.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
Nurse Williams then switch the lights of Elian’s room on and notice him on the floor, she runs over to him and crouch trying to help him concern of his condition “Mr. Allen are you Ok?” “Ugh turn that racket off will you!” the nurse quickly gets up and disconnect the vital sign machine then turns off the alarm. “Why wouldn’t you listen Mr. Allen? I told you; you were in no condition to be doing this yet fallow the procedure sir, everything will be peachy but you just had to do it didn’t you?” the nurse then helps Elian sit upon the floor “I thought I saw a nickels doc, help me up please” The nurse then tries to pull Elian up but he is too heavy for her alone “Maybe I can help” Mishiko was leaning on the doorframe watching, she walks over and along with the nurse they help Elian back to the bed. “Thank you lady Oshima” Mishiko bows then while scratching her head she ask “Can we have a few minutes alone?” The nurse was not sure what to answer “Oh, is fine I guess” nurse William then walks out the door “Five minutes, he needs to rest!” the automatic door slides open and the nurse walks out.
Elian lays back o the bed and Mishiko walks over a desk and she sits on the chair facing Elian. “So..” Says Elian in a nervous voice, ..How is everything how you been?” Is been five years since they didn’t speak five years without knowing if she was even alive or had passed away…but judging by the circumstances and where she is at it only meant one thing- she was part of the lie they set for Elian, that day when Elian’s life went down a drain five years ago. Mishiko then replies to Elian “I’m fine just wanted to see you.. Is been quite a while” Is true it had been quite a while but her voice, her eyes and her movement deceived her, she came to speak something that was bothering her.
“What you have to say?” Elian ask in a loud tone.” ..I’m sorry if I sound arrogant or anything but lets just go to the point, please. I know you are not here to catch up talking about the good old days.. Because if so, you should know that I don’t remember them.”
Mishiko then lowered her head maybe in guilt for doing what she had done. “It was a long time ago Elian, let it go.. Lets just start over--” Elian closes his eyes and chuckles interruption Mishiko “Let it go..” Elian open his eyes and looks at her ’s “You knew very well what was happening, five years of friendship and I dare to say even more, we were together-- I always thought you had moved or something when I went to your house and saw that it had been taken down. All this time I was hoping to someday find you and finish what we started so many years ago.. The very same day you disappear, that very same day my parents are murder and everything goes to hell in my life-- now five years later I find you and your father here and realize you were in on it. The love of my life is nothing but a soulless agent of this damn organization.”
The words of Elian penetrated deep into Mishiko’s heart.. Just like Elian felt when she left all those years ago, but Mishiko’s mission had to be accomplished. “You- don’t understand Elian, yes I was part of the mission I was the biggest part of it- but it all had a purpose don’t you see? Your father had a responsibility he planned it all from the beginning when he realize he had the duty of one way or another prevent the curse from been inherit by another Allen in the future.” Elian doesn’t seem to understand what she is saying “What are you saying? Are you fallowing my father’s speech trying to convince me that it was for my own good?” Elian pauses for a second looking at her silent then he resumes his sentence “Cause if you are, I should stop you now and tell you it doesn’t pay up for five years of punishment and torment” Mishiko then gets up from the chair sighting she walks over to the door but stops and looks at Elian over the shoulder “You of all the people in the world should understand what was my duty, get it through your head Elian.. You think your life was bad but you don’t know how it feels to be order by your own father to give up everything on your life just because he had made a pledge to your father that he would help your family.. Before you let all that crap out of your mouth you should ask your father what was my mission.” Mishiko switch the lights off and walks out while saying goodnight. Elian lays back on the bed and thinking of Mishiko’s last words he falls asleep.
