chapter one - (Re)United

Forgotten Memories

Darkness is all i can see now. I can't feel my body, it's all numb. Where am i? It looks like i'm laying in a bed, like an hospital bed.

-Model 97KTR1 is now -Said a robotic woman voice
-Great. Thanks Veronica, just be off for a while now -Said a woman voice that sounded familiar to me

I heard steps coming closer and opened my eyes just to see a really familiar face. She was just like in the images flashing trough my head, dark long wavy black hair, pale skin with some scars at her shoulders, small green cat eyes, thin nose and dark pink lips that were really highlighted by her pale skin. I suddently whispered out her name unconsciously.

-Helena...........

She looked shocked and i was wondering to myself why. We were together in my last memory, then why she looked so surprised when i spoke her name?

-I see you really have memories on your human life, i wasn't expecting to be one of them thought -She said

Her voice was so cold and she looked like she had been trained to speak this words, training over and over again. She spoke like a robot with no feelings.

-What do you mean? -I said without really understanding
-You're now an hybryd of the project Rebirth, just like me. You weren't supposed to have memories but... -She seemed careful- I chose to let them there. You died in an accident, your body was heavilly damaged and i'm the engineer who made the metal parts of your new body. Now you are a Reborn, human and cyborg -Helena

She was staring deeply at my eyes and i just looked down. She looked like if this was such a casual and normal thing. I was confused.... and maybe a little sad too.

-Don't you have memories? -I asked sadly
-No, i am a fully Reborn -A slight light of lie shined in her eyes- Without memories, feelings or an own will, fully loyal to the Wu Han AI Company, just like you'll be doing soon 
-Can i refuse? You know, like, don't work for them and live my own life? -I asked

She frowned and walked to a chair where she sat.

-Veronica -She called

The computer screen

-Yes? -Said the same voice of earlier, probably Veronica, the computer
-Search for registers of Reborns with feelings -Helena
-Searching............... Negative, no registers were found -Veronica
-Search for a register of Reborns with an own will then -Helena
-Searching............... Affirmative, only one result found -Veronica
-I wanna know all the details about it -Helena
-Understood... The Reborn 87TRK9 also known as Luke had an own will, he refused to work for Wu Han and said he wasn't a cyborg, but that he was human and wanted to live and since he came back to life he rebelled against the company. He was taken back to a forbidden room and has been shut down ever since....... No more registers -Veronica
-Thanks Veronica, shut down system -Helena

The computer scren turned off and most of the yellow lights that were lighting the room before faded. She rose and walked towards me.

-You heard it. If you don't wanna be shut down forever, you'd better keep this memories, feelings and will only to yourself. Reborns were made to be fully loyal to Wu Han, all kinds of emotion are forbidden -Helena

That was the less robotic phrase Helena spoken 'till now, like is she was really worried and i couldn't help but smile.

-Thanks for the advice, i'll take it and won't tell anyone else but you about this feelings and memories -I said
-Good, and don't smile like this or they'll notice -Helena, were her cheeks red?
-Ok, i won't anymore -I
-I need a name to register you, do you remember it? -Helena
-Yes, it is Brendon -I said

     Helena:

When Veronica told me about that model called Luke, i almost panicked, but it wouldn't help. This was the very first time after 7 months i lived as an hybryd that i felt such an strong emotion. It was fear. Fear of loosing him, fear that they'd take him away and she was never going to see him, fear that he would suffer only because he was too human. And the worst one: Fear to be alone as the only Reborn who could feel something. I didn't want that what happened to Luke to happen with him. That's why i told him he shouldn't tell anyone about it, 'cause of my foolish and selfish thoughts about loosing him and being alone. It was so weird to feel something after a so long time feeling nothing and it was just too strong. If parts of me weren't made of metal, i would have fell to the ground, the fear scratching my troat in a pain really hard to bear. For the first time in 7 months, i was thankful to be an Reborn. It felt good meeting him. Then he smiled. It was the first time i saw a really true smile during my cyborg life, it was beautiful and heartwarming. I felt my heart skip one beat. This was getting really dangerous, he clearly had met me in our humans lives and that he had feelings and i was feeling so melted with only a simple smile. Were my cheeks getting red? I felt then burn and told him not to smile like that again. He looked sad, but agreed. And when he told me his name i stood there completely frozen in place. Some of my memories drove into my mind.
     I was inside of something and it was falling really fast, i was holding someone's hand and i hear my own voice sobbing a "Goodbye Brendon".

-We were in the same accident -I said out bluntly- Weren't we?

His eyes widened and shined and he looked deep into my eyes (i couldn't take my eyes off of his)

-You............ remember? -He asked
-Just a few pieces, can't form a full record. It's so weird, have memories is so weird -I

He smiled slightly and sighted.

-Yes, we were. It was a plane crash -He

I just stood there quietly, bitting my bottom lip. He got up and touched my cheek softly.

-I guess i still love you thought -He said with a low and soft voice.

My heart seemed to stop and i totally forgot to breathe. Love? That strong and most forbidden feeling? Now i know, there's no turning back, we're already too deep into being rebels to back up. I should have erased his memories. But then he pulled me closer and kissed me, a gentle, soft and slow kiss that seemed to last for ages and suddently i didn't regret anything i've done.

-I know you don't remember a thing, but i'll make you remember everything, i swear it -He said hugging me tightly- I'll make you remember

And then i made the mistake to look in his eyes, they really seemed like melted chocolate and hazelnut and i wanted to drown into them. I was lost, and addicted to that hybryd i rebuilt for such a long time, there's no turning back now and i know it. But i don't want to turn back, it's ok if we have to run, i just want to stay in his arms like this forever even without the memories of our human lives. And i knew that he would keep his promise and make me remember everything anyway.

==============================================================================================================================

The description Brendon makes of Helena is much like me, i just make it look like i'm prettier. Luke, the shut down model, is a friend of mine and he still will apear

There'll be many lyrics of many songs in this fic.
