Antonio groaned as he emerged from unconsciousness, every nerv ending twinging and pinching like electricity as his body came back to life.
Opening his eyes fully Antonio came face to face with another person, before grasping the situation fully, a random person in his face that he didn't know as he wakes up, that can't be good news.
Electricity surged through this spine, feeling the innards of his spine shift and a surge of energy filling his being.
Everything seemed to run in slow motion as he lifted himself up from the couch he found himself laying on, surprised by his own strength as instead of lifting himself he flew through the air, corkscrewing over the stranger before landing with his back to them, his eyes wide and his breath racing, until finally time seemed to return to the world, the stranger frantically looking all over the couch before standing up and smacking the back of her head into Antonios.
"Ay ay ay, you got a skull like rock dude" came a feminine voice, turning around Antonio was greeted by a plume of curled purple hair, taking a step back, his breath still rapid and panicked, he took in her appearance.
Before him stood a small 5ft tall woman, her hair shaved on one side and a thick bunch of hair swept over to her shaved side on the other, curled and haphazardly styled in a neon purple.
Her face seemed lean yet beautiful, sharp blue calculating eyes and a goggle resting either side of her temples with grey cybernetic implants behind them.
She had a scarf around her neck, dark and old looking, with a form fitting stomach cut leather jacket over a black sports bra, as well as a pair of hip resting jean shorts, a deep red, same as her jacket, with various tools and other devices along her belt and hips.
But something caught Antonios eye as she wordlessly and quickly folded her hands behind her back, a long obvious orange wire protruding from where her hands were, following in Antonio freaked as it lead into his neck.
"What the fuck do you think your doing to me huh?!" He yelled in a panicked rage, yanking the wire off as he noticed a small computer chip still attached to it retract with the wire into the girls hands.
She grinned from ear to ear as she eyed the chip, throwing herself into a wheely chair and pushed it over to a nearby desk, Antonio marched after the rolling theaf of.... whatever that chip was.
"Hey I was talking to you!"
"Just gime a sec buddy" she replied, holding out a finger to Antonio,now outraged he grabbed her hand and spun her to face him, taken back by the goggles that were previously on each temple of her head now connected into a pair of sunglass like goggles, gleefully holding the chip in the air as she examined it.
Antonio angrily snatched it out of her hand and inserted it back into his neck, at least he hoped it went there.
"Geez relax dude, that's some serious high tech kit right there, beyond anything I've ever seen!, so either your someone VERRY important or someone has been a bad boy" she chuckled, tracing her finger up his spine before wheeling off again, holding her hand out as the wire fully retracted into a opening in her wrist before pannwls on her arm folded over it, concealing it from view apart from the vents either side of the opening.
"Ok let's take this from the top, who the fuck are you and how did I get here" Antonio groaned, already growing tired of this weird girl.
She spun to face him, pulling her legs up to cross them on the chair and leaned forward.
"Names Mia, but folks of neon city know me as the tinkerer" she said, almost like stating something that should have been obvious
"And as for how you got here, well, you should count your lucky stars it was us who found you and not some cyber scavengers, a guy with the amount of tech stachwd away like you would make their mouths water with the price your innards would fetch"
Antonio could hardly move, what sort of twisted reality was this, people killing each other in the streets just for some parts?, absolute madness
"And of course there's the cyberpsycoes, they would kill just about anyone, their minds are long gone" she continued before looking Antonio dead in the eye "and considering there's no record of you in ANY database in the city, it would be like you never existed, so a thank you would be nice for our efforts"
"Ummm.......thanks.....I guess" Antonio said between calming breaths, she narrowed her eyes at him before returning to her payed back attitude, stretching her arms out as she fell back in her chair
"See that wasn't so hard, not much but itl do for now" she said.
Before Antonio could question her on what she meant, the door to the strange room he found himself in swung open, and another person stepped in, another woman, completely naked, steam emerging from the door she had just exited, a towel around her hair and water dripping from her cyber enhanced body.
"Oh, hey there.....nice tits" Antonio said with a wink,but he was quickly met with a massive robotic hand from Mia
"Creep, an I'm sorry would have been mutch more appropriate, fuck, this guy has no manners" she said in a huff as her hand shifted and spotted back to its regular size.
The new woman walked over and looked Antonio over as he lay on the cold metallic floor
"Hmmmm definitely no punk that's for sure, but not a pussy either, not many people can take a hit from Mia and not cry like a bitch, or live, so count yourself lucky" she said as she pressed a panel on her shoulder, the glorious view of her naked body quickly disappearing as a form fitting black swim suit like appearance formed over her body, her nipples still clearly visible
"Enjoying the view boy?" She questioned
"Good because you'll be seeing Alot more of me, and the rest of my crew, names Lucy, and now you work for me"
