Next Morning a Dark Past Awakens in Mia’s Mind…. As Mia learns the truth about Max’s Friends While Later Mainframe Visits A Longtime Friend of Friends

Early morning Mia laid with Max sweating profusely while her head turned side to side UGH NNNNGH as her mind replayed vivid images get that man into triage tent four as Mia’s fatigue self was led into another tent… what are we seeing here… shrapnel to the femoral artery as Mia spoke one seventy cc of saline and painkillers Dr. Watson cleanse the wound and remove shrapnel as she spoke you are in good hands as Max was shaken awake as Mia tossed and turned starling him….

Back in her dream however Mia’s mind heard the alarm as Mia seen a nineteen-year-old walk in wired with a bomb DEATH TO ALL as Mia screamed out BRACE FOR IMPACT as the teen hit the detonator exploding as Mia covered two of her patient’s in her care as she screamed IT BURNSSSS as Mia shot up panting as Max spoke dear calm yourself….

Max please… stay back as Mia cried No don’t… Don’t touch as Max revealed her warped neck and upper back as Max spoke when did this… Mia looked defeated you think you are the only one who… who been touched by the arm of… war and destruction…

Max I’m …. I am… baby you are not as Mia cried I was a triage surgeon working on the hellish front lines I… I was good at my… can you tell me Max spoke… you won’t think… Look at me baby that chair has been my life for four long years…

Mia spoke back When I was stationed we heard rumors of insurgencies sending in suicidal bombing parties with different tasks and nerve gasses or worse explosives as Max rubbed the marred flesh what caused this… A mix of mustard and acid explosives Max it burned through my scrubs and burned my back and lower legs…

Your legs were damaged I… don’t see any… scars Mia smiled my legs both of them had second degrees and was able to be… Skin graphed Max stopped her…. It seems like the insurgents tried to take out all angles first the triages then weapon depot… how many did they stop we managed to stop most of them all except the hospital wings and motor pool areas…

I guess they thought they got them all as Mia cried I… I risked my life to save those whom… did they… no both of them I covered died from the acidic burning in their lungs and nostrils and all I remember was waking up at a hospital near fort Bragg laid upon my stomach it took me a year or two of intense therapy… Max gripped her shoulder tightly… to even step foot inside of that VA… what made you… I saw others like myself who wasn’t lucky and knew if I couldn’t serve them as a surgeon I made damn sure they are comfortable as a Nursing Aide and then when I saw Jack and his aneurism hit it… it reminded me as she cried…

It is ok Max spoke I will not… I’m damaged goods as Amelia walked up is everything as she handed Mia a glass of water… No as she cried hard once again… Mia listen to me we all been touched by wars some foreign and even some here at… you don’t understand Mia cried I… I lost a lot of people I…I took care of… crying harder… I think I understand well my dear as Amy began to walk on Mia’s side of the bedding I once was a human named Amy Marie Rhoads I… was involved with a car bombing on US soil on a military base as Mia watched as tanned flesh began to ripple and change like watery silver replacing flesh with metallic joints and sinew… My lover Nick saved my humanity and my soul in this synthetic shell giving me a new lease on life…

you… you are… a…. a fucking robot…. Robot Amelia spoke more like cybernetic enhanced human I feel everything a human does from love to pain to empathy and sadness… and I must say I been given a new lease on life as Amy appeared into her metallic blue and silvery form….

Am I dreaming of this Mia asked as she reached out and touched see I am one hundred percent real as Mia shivered you… you are cold but yet your eyes tell me the truth… Mia the eyes are windows to the soul and I see more than my old human one’s ever did… what do you mean Amelia Mia spoke… I see the world in both this plane and the digital ones the world of zeroes and ones are my utopia watch this…

Mia watched Amelia look at the television as it turned on itself switching to a popular cooking channel… this… this is my favorite… I know your digital footprint inside and out Mia Louise Williams… as Mia eyes went… I… I never told you or Max my middle or last… as Max slid to his chair… wait what about the suit you have that is on your watchband… what about it dear… since it allows you to walk wouldn’t you want to…

Max smiled maybe one day but now I am still getting the use of it and how would I explain it to people back home in a small town where I grew up things like being stuck in a chair one minute and then running a marathon the next making Mia blush a bit… Amy smiled now that you know what I am does it… No Mia Williams smiled….

Good morning… who the… who said that…. I did Abi spoke back…. Who did Mia looked back at Max as Nick smiled with a tray of food… meet Abi she is the house AI unit… so you mean she… it is… a virtual assistant…. More like Mother hen to my son… wait son as Mia looked back at Nick James… yes I am her son I built her core and technology from the ground up… Same with Amy’s cybernetic shell and the plane Max is testing for us….

Wait Max you mean this is the job you were…. Hired to do yes now you see why I couldn’t answer my phone the other day as Mia spoke is the food… for you dear Abi spoke and been cooked to perfection….

So Nick spoke you were a naval surgeon on the front lines of battle… Yeah Mia ate as she spoke I seen legs blown off to deep lacerations to bringing someone back from the brink of death… why was you working as a Nursing Aide in a hospital wouldn’t that bring up those memories….

I… I think the day I saw a teenager no older than my youngest brother commit murder with a Mustard and Acid explosion and saw the two people I tried to save die by extreme suffocation of burning acid particles destroying their lungs I… I couldn’t pick up another surgeon tool afraid of having a life in my hands expire…

Nick smiled hey I understand completely listen I was trying to pass off some of this tech that you see around you to our military but denied numerous times then I found out that our general was stealing my plans and passing them off as his own devices… did you sue… I couldn’t he committed suicide before I could even get the paper work started…

Nick from what I seen so far you… you could help those in need can you think it people who was told they would never see or touch hell even walk again you and your tech… I Agree with her son Abi spoke back…

Nick spoke back defensively do you guys think I been trying to…. Don’t get me wrong I may be rich but not that rich to do something like this takes more than what I have on tap…

Amy smiled we will take as long as we need to do it baby I have faith when Mia wiped her mouth cleaned I… I may know of some people who might be on board it may get me some time as Nick spoke back I would love to help those less fortunate to benefit that was what my father and mother wanted me to do but until funding I… I can’t get the ball rolling I was lucky with Abi, my mother, Max with Abi’s help and then of course Amy my lover….

Speaking of I heard some moaning as Amy turned away… how in the hell do you guys… MMMMMM maybe another time Amy smiled instinctively as Max seen Nick caught like a deer in headlights as Amy spoke come dear we bothered them long enough haven’t we….

Max you guys relax… I… I was thinking heading towards town… to talk…. Abi spoke back Mr. Lewis the funeral arrangements have already been taken care of…. Amy did you… as Amelia smiled I didn’t do no such thing… when Abi spoke back consider this as a gift as Max spoke you guys didn’t have too you all are letting me live here and now allowing me to do what I love again…. Consider this as the payment the government failed in reimbursing you dear as Abi’s voice went silent…

Max slid back into the bed as Mia snuggled now you know the truth about me are you…. Does my love falter for you never how about this why don’t I tell you something you don’t know about me… MMMMM DEAL Mia smiled…?

Max spoke back I have my own demons too when I was injured on duty and let go from the naval air force I… I grew bitter after being dishonorably discharged and had my reputation ruined I…I didn’t have a woman to come home too or friends thanks to my own despising of my own injury and I turned to booze to dull the pain… listen Max I… I understand it is survivor’s guilt you turned to alcohol I have seen it before you are not the first…

Mia I drank so much that they nearly had to pump my stomach… as Mia held his hand into her slim ones feeling the callouses and smiled Max why me…

Max smiled I saw you coming from Jack’s room three days sober and when you smiled at me it… it just felt like a weight was lifted and when you asked me to join you for dinner I… I never in my life had the roles reversed like that as Mia smiled MMMMMM Max just hold me as he did so gently I know we both have problems and I know we will slip Max just know I will never give up on you…

Max shed a tear and smiled and I… I will never give up on you as well let me be the rock in the storm of your pain your anchor of safety as Mia straddled Max and kissed him passionately as she felt her pussy dampen near his crotch as the two lovers bonded further…

Elsewhere Admiral Ian Fleming spoke man what a long day as he began to clean up his work station and file papers away as he began to turn the monitor of his laptop off logging from the US central database as the machine kicked back on… come on turn off damn it… as Ian began to get up as the PC turned on again… WHO SICK JOKE IS THIS… once I find out who is doing this is going to peel potatoes for weeks on end…

Ian began to reach… ARE YOU ADMIRAL FLEMING HEAD OF US NAVAL JUSTICE ADVOCATE GENERAL DEPARTMENT… Mainframe spoke… who are you… A FRIEND… funny I don’t know of any high tech AI systems that sounds like a female… DO YOU REMEMBER A MAXWELL LEWIS….
