The ruins of old midgar were still a fresh wound on the planet the twisted metal and tattered building stood like a monolithic tesitment to the fallen city that had been built by the shin-ra company. dead and desolate nothing stirred in the ruins save for a few monsters that dared be in such a wreck. deep in the ruins however a Large cylindrical machien slowly beeped keeping track even after the cities distruction of the life that was trapped inside. deep in the rubble in an abandoned lab a young man trapped forever in his unending sleep his bright blue eyes shut tightly his black hair long messy from years of growth in the chamber forever asleep waiting for someone to wake him from his slumber.

She shouldn't be here. Tehra knew that much. Old Midgar was a dangerous place full of unhappy spirits waiting to devour the soul of the poor wanderers that came here. It was here that Tehra had met that odd vampire like man who'd rambled at her in between stolen kisses, and it was here that she witnessed his murder- not that she minded, but it was all so dramatic. And Tehra had come back, because thats what stupid brave young women with brown curls did. And so she drove her motorbike through these ruins, the ghosts of Midgar's dead hovering all around her.
She'd been here for a while now, and had made her way to the city's center, the very bowels of the horrific ruins. Tehra drove her bike through the entrance of what appeared to be an old lab, perhaps it was one of Shin-ra's famed labs where they created creatures such as Sephiroth- an evil the world would not soon forget. If Tehra remembered correctly, that odd Cain fellow was a victim of the labs too. She stopped once she reached a part of the lab where her bike was too large to fit. Tehra dismounted and slowly walked through the halls, mentally marking the path that she took.
After a while of walking, Tehra swore she saw a soft glow emanating from one of the rooms. Being the intelligent woman she was, Tehra immediately walked in. What greeted her caused her to gasp and her teal eyes to widen.
There, asleep in a still working cryo chamber was a boy. He was handsome from what she could tell, in a tragic sort of way. "What's your sad tale....?" Tehra whispered to herself as she walked up to the tank and rested her hand against the glass gently, her eyes staring at the boy's face.
And then, suddenly, as if responding to her touch, piercing blue eyes opened and stared at her, right into her soul. Tehra gasped loudly and stumbled backwards, her back hitting a computer that she had also gripped tightly with her hands to keep her from losing her balance. Tehra felt several buttons depress under her touch as she clung to them. Not even a second later a loud noise filled her ears as the chamber began to open.

The chamber hissed lightly as the liquid that kept him in status slowly drained from it being replaced with air from the outside stale and old. Slowly the male found his feet as he settled at the bottom of the chamber they barely supported his weight how long had he been asleep. he felt like his whole body was straining to keep itself together. slowly his brilliantness blue eyes that glowed softly in the dim light of the room focused on the female in front of him. his eyes were so unusual slitted like a cats with a mystrious glow from over exposure to Mako. he had been a Solider the uniform was still clinging to his slender but muscular frame. His long dark locks fell into his face as he looked at her curiously.
"...W-where am I?" he muttered in a hoarse voice from lack of use. it was obvious that this man had once been handsome but he was still a teen.

"Th....The Ruins of Old Midgar..." Tehra said, doubting he even knew what she was talking about "I don't know how long you've been in there, but Shin-ra Corp was taken out ten years ago, and without it Old Midgar fell apart. What is your name?" Tehra asked, wondering just old he would have been had it not been cryo frozen. Also why was he cryo frozen in the first place? The girl was nervous around him. His odd eyes disconcerted her and made her wonder if he was dangerous. After all, Sephiroth had come from similiar origins and he had brutally murdered countless souls.

"Shin-ra's gone?" this news seemed to perplex the male as he looked at her with a light frown. instantly his mind raced he had been part of shin-ra most of his life his mother was one of the...No...he corrected himself as he looked at this woman his mother had been one of the top directors. "What happened to Scarlette?" he asked with a light frown wondering if the woman was still around somewhere.
"Sorry....I'm being really rude...my name is Akio...." he spoke in his quiet but calm voice a light smile crossing his lips.

"You don't have to apologize, I understand your confusion. My name is Tehra. And as for your Scarlette, I am afraid I do not know what happened. I was very young, and what Iwas told was that there was a massive explosion and that most of Shin-ra's members were either lost in it or their whereabouts were never known. I'm sorry I cannot answer your question better." Tehra said, relaxing a bit as she spoke to him. He did not to seem to be the violent type, so Tehra felt she didn't need to be quite as on guard.

The male looked somewhat relived at the mention of the chance that the woman may be dead as he cracked a light smirk.
"I hope she burned in the explosion the old harpy....But, I guess I fear for those who are in the life stream having to put up with her" he said with a light laugh before turning his attention to the lab. "Well...I guess I've got no home then...." he said with a sigh as he slumped lightly his long hair falling awkwardly into his face as he frowned. He needed a hair cut he had to of been asleep for sometime his hair was now almost to his knees.

Tehra noticed his difficulty, saddened that she hadn't noticed it before. "I'm sorry.... you can't be comfortable. Hold on a minute." After a quick glance around the room Tehra spotted an old chair that still appeared sturdy and pulled it over to Akio. "There you go, sit down, gather your strength. I have a motorbike a short distance away. We can take that back into the city and I can help you get settled..." Tehra spoke, looking at him as she did. He would have been very handsome if he wasn't in such sorry shape. "I don't have any food on me, but we can get you some once we get back into the city." Tehra desperately wanted to ask what they'd done to him and why'd he'd been cryo frozen, but she was afraid it was too much.

The male shook his head as she spoke.
"Naw I'm ok...it will take more then a long sleep to bring me down" he said with a light smile as he pulled at his hair lightly. "But ummnn...do you have a knife or sword or something....This will bug me if I don't do something about it" he said with a shy smile. He was a genuinely kind person with a jovial attitude. he also was very much a Solider and hated being seen as weak even tho he knew he should have sat down.

Tehra smirked as she pulled out a dagger from her boot. "Always. I make my living killing bounties, and I kill the really intense bad guys for fun. I always have a blade on me" She grinned. "Would you like me to cut it or can you do it?" She asked, liking his fighting spirit.

Akio shook his head as he snagged the dagger quickly with out little cerimony the male trimmed his locks by the time he was done it was sholder length and messy there was also something strange now that his hair was shorter it was easier to see his crimson bangs that hung messily around his face. he nodded lightly as he handed the dagger back to her and found the chair sitting down and crossing his legs.
"Know of any place I can stay...Tehra was it...I lived in Shin-ra building all my life so I don't really have a place to go home to my mom worked there" he said with a light laugh.

"Well I doubt you have any money, considering you've been in cryo freeze for at least ten years..." Tehra said, leaning against the computer again, this time the buttons did little. "I can give you a place for a little bit. I have an extra room in my apartment. I can let you stay there for free for a while, but I would appreciate you finding a job and contributing, at least paying your own food once you get on your feet." She said, looking at him. His bangs were odd, why were they red? Not to mention his strange slitted eyes. "Do you know what they were doing to you?" Tehra asked, finally unable to help herself.

The male frowned lightly when he was asked what they had been doing to him he knew only partially what they had told him he sighed lightly as he leaned back looking up at the ceiling of the old research facility.
"Ummn...well I only know a bit of what I was told by Hojo and the other scientists....something about Mako enhancement and....something else" he muttered lightly as he tried to remember what it was they had told him. "S-cells...or something....My mom insisted they use me as there first test subject...she said it would help me get further in Shin-ra" he said frowning lightly as he looked at her then grinned lightly.
"It's not important tho...just causes the wired glowy eye thing....and increases my speed strength and durability other then that harmless...I think" he muttered lightly as he looked at her with a shrug.

"But you do not know...." Tehra said softly, looking at him. Sephiroth had been injected with S-cells as well. "I'm sorry to have asked, I shouldn't have. Its just, not everyday you find a Shin-ra enhanced person still in cryo freeze." She shrugged. "Tell me, were you around for Sephiroth's demise?" Tehra asked, the nature of the grim subject showing on her face, but she had to ask. He needed to know the danger he was in. "What is the last you know of Cloud and Zack?"

"Huh...Cloud? Zack?..." the male looked confused by these names as he looked at her with a frown his brilliant blue eyes showed his confusion well. he ran a hand through his hair the only name that actually triggered a memory was the name Sephiroth.
"Ohh Hey I remember that brat Sephiroth tho...Hojo's kid right? Always wondering the halls with that sword of his man that thing was always to big for him" he said with a laugh. "Wait they used S-cells on him to...man....that poor kid...it was an ordeal even for me and I was 13 when they injected them...last thing I remember truthfully was Hojo asked me into his office..." he said suddenly frowning as he realized he didn't even know why he had been in status.

Tehra was surprised at this man's lack of knowledge. So he was pre-Sephiroth, which meant he'd missed everything."Sephiroth ended up becoming the greatest evil the world had ever known. Cloud and Zack were two soldiers who wanted to destory him. Very powerful as well. Zack was killed early on. Cloud put together a team and they went after Sephiroth. Sephiroth killed thousands in the name of "Mother". The experiments made him crazy. Cloud and his friends eventually did succeed, though the woman Cloud was killed in the process for a piece of materia. By Sephiroth's hand." Tehra sighed as she looked at Akio, hoping the S-cells wouldn't have the same affect on him. No one really knew what had become of Cloud's crew, so if another great evil came about she didn't know what would happen.
At least she'd go down in history, she supposed, as the woman who had released wave two of hell on earth. But perhaps Akio was stronger, perhaps his mind would not break. "Sephiroth became very powerful after Shin-ra got ahold of him. I wish you had been around for it, it was a horrific thing to behold. Once we leave and you see the state of the world, I think you'll better understand the magnitude of Shin-ra's actions..." Tehra said softly, looking at him, hoping desperately that he wouldn't devle into the depths of madness.

"....I can't belive it that kid was...a punk for sure but evil...he seemed more interested in swinging his sword around and reading...he joined Shin-ra" he frowned lightly as he crossed his arms lightly thinking to himself. Sephiroth went insane...would the same thing happen to him...he had S-cells coursing through his vines as well...not of his own choice of course his mother had made the decision before he was born.
"Damn...well....I guess what ever happens happens I suppose..." he said already figuring out what that meant for him. his slitted blue eyes looked at her as he frowned lightly looking serious. "I was a Solider...it's going to be a bit hard for me to swallow all of this...I mean I know...knew Shin-ra was into some shady practices...but to bring about something so destructive...and it being that brat no less " he sighed lightly shaking his head.

"Shin-ra was not the organization we thought it was..." She said sadly, shaking her head. "I am thankful every day that I was but nine and ten as this ocurred, for I would not want to fight that battle." Tehra looked up at him "You may not end up like him.... you never know, Perhaps Sephiroth was too young for the cells, and you are stronger. Or perhaps they put something else in him, something that altered his mind. He was obssessed with Materia and "mother". You may not end up like that..." Tehra said, feeling a heavy burden on her heart. She didn't want to be the one responsible for releasing him if he turned out to be another demon in disguise.
"Do you want to get out of here? Go back out into the world? Though I will warn you, it is not the world you remember. It is dark and heartbroken now, sadness and loss pervade over everything. Even though its been a decade, the cuts of Shin-ra are still deep. Few even come to these ruins for fear of awakening some latent devil from somewhere."

"Whoa....you sound like quite the poet...I suppose it does me no good slinking around her like the dead...and I need to get back in shape...I guess...hmmn...Let see Sephiroth was 10 when I last saw him so....it's had to of been over 20 years" he said with a frown as he scratched the back of his head lightly. "Thats a long time to be sleeping....I wonder if they left me my materia..." he said as a sudden thought hit him he dug into his pocket and found nothing a sigh escaping his lips.
"I'm gonna need to get some money..." he said with a light smile.

"You can get a job..." Tehra said, standing up. "The economy isn't as bad as the community morale" she said with a laugh. "Also I might have a few extra materia. I went on a materia binge when I first started making a lot of money. Eventually I trained certain skills up to where I didn't need those materia anymore. Maybe if I decide I can trust you you can borrow it" She said with a small grin. "Well let's go then, do you need help walking?" Tehra asked as she began to lead the way.
