-“I brought her over to Poland, she is in one of the company’s buildings, she is stable somehow, but she is hurting badly, apparently someone who could use the phasing craft went for her while being in school grounds and basically it was like battle of the titans...” Richard said worriedly.
-“‘She’? A girl? How can someone hit a girl?” Witold said surprised.
-“Don’t let her hear you saying that , she has this thing about people calling her a mere girl, come, I’ll explain more on the way”
They got to a building in downtown Warsaw, it was full of people working in different things, and everyone greeted Richard as they walked through the halls.
They came to what Witold figured it would be an infirmary and he saw a girl lying in one of the beds, she looked no older than 18 years of age, he gasped as he saw her wounds.
-“How old is she? But she is a child!” Witold said worriedly and angry.
-“She is 15 (Richard said softly) she is young but she is not like any other teenager…can you please help her?”
-“You don’t need to ask me twice…” Witold then put a hand on her wound, he shook his head as he saw in his mind each of the wounds, the same white light from his hands spread around the wounds making the girl shake slightly.
It was then how Witold met Nessa.
A few hours later, she awoke looking side to side to see Witold sitting beside her half asleep. She tried to get up but was too tired that she fell back onto the bed wincing a little in pain. Witold woke up at the noise and smiled at her.
-“You shouldn’t do that yet, your body is not strong enough” He said helping her lie down on the bed.
-“Who are you? (she said drowsily) where am I?”
-“My name is Witold and you are in Warsaw, you were in fight with another craft user…do you remember any of it?” He said worriedly while tucking her in the bed.
-“Da, vaguely (soft giggle) how long have I slept… Witold?”
-“6 hours, it took me a bit to heal you” he said sitting back on the chair
-“You…healed me?” she said blushing a bit.
-“Yes, Richard brought me here to help you, you were in bad shape Nessa” He said smiling a bit
-“…”
-“Don’t look at me like that Richard told me your name. You shouldn’t be on this you know, you should be busy being a kid”
Nessa laughed heartily and Witold laughed with her.
-“So, are you supposed to be my guardian form now on?” She said laughing.
Here was Witold yet again at her side, years later after that day, now at the age of 26 he watches her slumber. She stirred slightly on her bed and opened her eyes and saw Witold sitting beside her.
-“This seems familiar” she whispered and smiled
-“How come we keep finding ourselves again in a near death situation for you?” he chuckled.
-“I didn’t plan this you know, ow! I guess I got really banged this time” she said touching her wound.
-“Careful there” he said as he got up hurriedly and checked her wounds, he sighed as he saw all of her wounds wrapped up in bandages. He shook his head while cursing slightly in Polish.
-“I’m sorry…” she said softly, smiling sadly at him.
-“It’s not your fault Nessa, someone out there wants to hurt you, I just was too late to get there and help you…I should have been here, I shouldn’t have left New Tokyo” He cursed slightly and closed his eyes.
-“You had to leave…it’s not your fault…” She said coughing slightly afterwards breathing heavily.
-“You ok? I’m going to have to heal you again…I…”
-“Stop being neurotic Witold…I’m fine…you did enough…” she whispered and smiled a bit at him.
-“That is the problem, what is enough?”
She was about to answer when Alex came in running and almost throwing himself at her on the bed
-“Witold/to-san! (he looked over the bed) Ka/ne-san! I’m so glad you are safe!” he said hugging her tightly, she winced in pain but she didn’t move, she smiled and hugged him back.
-“Now now Alex…breathing needed hunnie” She said softly and breathlessly
-“Oh, gomen ka/ne-san (he said blushing a little and lying down beside her on the bed) I’m so glad you found her Witold, thank you so much!” he said almost in tears, Witold shook his head and smiled.
