A Surprise Visit

Vesalius, Hiro and Sofia finish talking about N and Hiro temporarily joining Orion to train.

Hiro's excitement is overflowing, he can barely wait to get stronger.

In contrast, Sofia is worried about the people in Orion who would have to spar with Hiro.

And Vesalius is laughing as everything went well.

Vesalius then stands up and moves towards the corner of the room to get some files.

Sofia then discretely signals Hiro to get closer, and then asks him "You said something about my scars. Do I look ugly?" with a concerned face.

Hiro immediately replies confidently, "No, you don't look ugly."

He continues, "It's just... most people do not like scars and it turns them off, I thought maybe you hated getting scars as well."

Sofia stumbles in her words as she asks, "So uh.. d-do you think my scars will make V think I'm not pretty?"

Hiro tries his hardest not to laugh out loud at the absurdity of her question, as he knows Vesalius very well.

Hiro then thinks up a way to have fun and says, "Y'know what, that's an interesting question. Let's ask the man himself shall we."

Sofia is surprised and tries to stop Hiro form asking Vesalius that question, but she is too late.

Hiro asks Vesalius in a loud voice, "Yo, Vesalius. Do you think the scars on her face make Sofia look ugly?"

Vesalius answers nonchalantly, without missing a beat, "What? Not at all. Each scar carries a fascinating tale, they add to her beauty."

Sofia blushes and hides her face with her hands.

Hiro starts laughing, amazed by how dense Vesalius can be sometimes.

After Vesalius finds the files he was looking for, he goes back towards Sofia and Hiro and is confused why they're acting weird.

He says, "Anyway, I'll go to my office to look over some things. Hiro you stay here with Sofia, make sure she does not leave and actually rests for at least one whole day today." And leaves the room.

Sofia then looks at Hiro with an irked expression and says, "Never do that again." While Hiro just laughs away.

While Sofia, Vesalius, and Hiro were talking, N was informing Lucas, the head guard under Sofia, about his past.

N talks about his unknown and gap filled past, as well as his ability that lead to him staying with Vesalius in the hospital.

Lucas simply listens until N is done with the whole story.

Afterwards, Lucas asks N, "Did you tell your past to boss?"

N nods in agreement, after which Lucas simply says, "Ok that's good."

Then Lucas tries to gauge the true extent of N's knowledge about Orion, "Since you are going to be placed under me, tell me how much do you know about Orion."

N replies, "I do not possess a lot of information. As I stated before, the only information I have is what was told to me briefly by Vesalius. And what he told me was that your organization acts like a gang to keep the other gangs in check and that you are good people who also fund this hospital."

Lucas is surprised that Vesalius was able to give a genuinely nice summary of Orion, which according to Lucas was very uncharacteristic of him.

Lucas says, "Yes. That is a surprisingly good summary. But since you are going to be a part of Orion, albeit temporarily, you are going to have to know about the organizations' structure in a bit more detail."

He continues, "At the top there is the boss, miss Sofia, who you've met already. Tasked with protecting her is me, and the group of people that I was with. Below miss Sofia we have three managers or generals of sorts who are responsible in handling Orion's activity."

Lucas then gives N an overview of the generals of Orion, "The three generals are tasked with different tasks. One is responsible for overseeing the finances, one is responsible for training people at Orion, and one is responsible for intel on other gangs and their activity."

"The general that is responsible for training people at Orion is the one you'll be learning from. He is also the one who trained me, so I believe there is no one better to learn from. His name is 'Thorne King', and I'll tell you this right now, he is very strict when it comes to training. Whenever you meet him, be sure to not get on his wrong side." Warns Lucas.

A little bit of excitement dwells up within N when he thinks about the prospect of growing stronger.

All of a sudden, Orm, someone from Lucas' squad, comes running into the room looking for Lucas.

Panting, he says "Lucas, we have a problem."

Lucas right away gets up and gets closer to Orm and asks, "What happened?"

Orm then delivers the concerning discovery, "It's probably Nexus. Someone attacked Emily, Lei went in to support her. I came here to get you. Only one enemy sighted for now."

Lucas immediately takes his pistol out, and tells N, "Just stay here. Do not move. After this is over, I'll come get you."

And then he runs with Orm to get to Emily and Lei.

N sits there confused about who and what Nexus are and if a big fight was about to ensue.

Right then, a mysterious man nonchalantly walks into the room.

This mysterious person was wearing a bucket hat, had tattoos all over his face and hands and was surrounded by a murderous aura.

The man moves closer to N, who remained seated, and says "What do we have here? What's your relation with Orion, eh?"

N does not reply, and simply stares at this man.

The man smiles, "Not gonna talk eh. Let's see if this guy here can get your mouth open." And pulls out a handgun and points at N's head.

N looks straight into the barrel, still refusing to talk to this random person.

The man starts to laugh, "Not scared of death huh. You're interesting. I like you."

All of a sudden another random person comes running towards the entrance.

"Viktor, we gotta go. That's enough fun time. We can't take Orion on here, it's their turf." Says this random man who just come into the room running, talking to the random person who had a gun pointed at N.

"Haha, alright. It was just getting fun too. You, I'll let you live cause you're interesting. Whoever you are, I'm sure you'll meet with Lucas soon. Tell him Viktor said hi." says Viktor to N before shooting him in the shoulder, then running away with the other mysterious man while laughing hysterically.

Moments later Lucas and Orm come running to N.

Lucas inspects the room and sees N shot.

N still sat their emotionless, even though he was just shot.

Lucas immediately tells N to get up, then instructs Orm to walk beside N to protect him and look out for enemies as they were going to move to Sofia's room to protect her and get Vesalius to look after N.

Throughout the slow and grueling walk towards Sofia's room, although profusely bleeding, N walked normally as if he had not been shot.

Once they reach the room, Lucas knocks twice before going in.

In the room Sofia laid at the very back, with Hiro in front of her. Emily and Lei stood right next to the door with arms drawn, ready to fire anything that moved the door.

The knocking twice was a signal Lucas told them about, to let them know that he was coming.

Everyone lets out a sigh of relief to see that no one had been killed.

Immediately Lucas informs Hiro and Sofia about the situation at hand.

Hiro then tells N to sit down on the seat next to Sofia and looks at the bullet wound.

Luckily, the bullet had cleanly penetrated the body fully and was not stuck inside N.

Hiro tries his best to apply some first aid to stop the bleeding and informs N that Vesalius was somewhat informed about the situation and that he was on his way.

Lucas then talks to his team and asks them if anyone suffered any injuries.

All of them confirm that they had not sustained any injuries.

Suddenly, another person knocks the door twice. After which he comes barging in. It was Vesalius.

He glances at Lucas, Orm, Emily, and Lei and notices no wounds.

Then he looks at Hiro and Sofia, and finds no injuries on them either.

Finally his eyes wander towards N, who he finds sitting in a chair, completely oozing blood all over.

He rushes towards N and starts to examine the wound.

Since the bullet cleanly went through, and did not damage any bone or major vessel, Vesalius decides to clean the entry and exit wound on N's shoulder.

Knowing N does not feel pain, Vesalius then decides to start closing the wound on the spot by stitching it.

Everyone looks in awe as N sits there emotionless while Vesalius stitches his wound without any anesthesia.

After the wound is dealt with, Vesalius tells N not to move his shoulder.

Then Vesalius turns towards Lucas and his group and asks in a very annoyed and angry tone, "You bastards mind telling me what the hell happened!?"
