Archive 04: I Will Never Fade

  Your recovery physically was swift as you remained in the hospital for another few weeks. After that time, you hade been allowed to leave. Being escorted back to your apartment, the first time the group was going to see you. 

Julio: Aww man, (Y/N)'s gonna love this little get together.

Nightingale: More of a welcoming party. Wish more people would have been here though.

Julio: Yeah, but you know what they say. No rest for the wicked. What about Judy and Evelynn.

Sasha: They sent their best wishes. Seems everyone's pretty busy.

  The a knock on the door was heard as Sasha rushed to the door.

Sasha: Okay everyone, this is it. Where's Lucy.

Julio: Lucy! Get out here!

  Lucy rushes out of the bathroom fixing her hair as everyone get's in their places. Preparing to welcome you back.

*Some time before*

  V sits outside the hospital waiting for you. Waiting for a few moments until you are wheeled out in a wheelchair. She smiles as she sees you, walking over to you as you stand from the wheelchair, shaking your head as your hair falls over your face.

  V grabs onto your arm as you look down at her.

V: Hey (Y/N), glad to see you still alive and well.

Y/N: . . .

  you stare at her in silence as you squint your eyes looking at her.

Y/N: Are you my girlfriend or something?

  V looked at you a bit confused as she turns over to the doctor.

Doctor: Yes, well this was to be expected. While the bullet didn't cause too much damage to the brain, it was enough to cause some amnesia. There will be some key factors he may not remember.

V: Will he ever remember everything he knew before?

Doctor: Well, some therapy may help him out. Also, make sure he takes these meds. From his medical reports, he wasn't the healthiest mentally. This may be a blessing in disguise. To wash away all the trauma and fill him with new memories, whether he will regain his memories is unclear.

  V sighs at the news as she just tugs on your hand.

V: Thanks doc. Come on (Y/N).

  You follow her as you still are unsure who they are, but you feel like you may have met them before.

Y/N: Who are you. I feel like I know you, but it's . . . blank I guess, hehe.

V: I'm Valerie, but just call me V. I worked in Arasaka until I was fired and you helped me get back on my feet. Do you remember Arasaka?

Y/N: Hmm, yeah. A woman that works there came to visit me a lot. She helped me remember my job and key functions at Arasaka. Head of my own security detail, and her body guard. Hmm, my life sounds like it was interesting.

  V starts the car as you ride with her through Night City.

Y/N: Soo, are you like my girlfriend? I never got confirmation on that.

V: What? No, we're just friends.

Y/N: Hmm, are you sure? Bummer.

V: What else do you remember?

Y/N: Hmm, I know I have a mom who is in Japan right now, I work for Arasaka, I think I have a group of friends. And that's pretty much it.

  You look at your hands, opening and closing them as your claws extend.
