Ray.\"\u0026nbsp; He said looking to both of them.\u0026nbsp; \"Who am I?\"\u0026nbsp; He asked.\u0026nbsp; They both looked a worriedly to each other. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Ray answered.\u0026nbsp; \"We don't know.\"\u0026nbsp; He shifted uncomfortably in his seat.\n\n\"Look... Maybe you have some ID with you?\u0026nbsp; You needed it to get into the station...\"\u0026nbsp; Aria said to him.\u0026nbsp; She looked around for a bag of some kind.\u0026nbsp; Or anything that could lead to an ID.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"You have anything that could help us?\"\u0026nbsp; Ray asked the Sheppard.\n\n\"Umm...\"\u0026nbsp; He looked about him, nothing that he could remember... Then again... He didn't really remember anything...\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Maybe on your coat tag?\u0026nbsp; Or your hat?\"\u0026nbsp; Aria mentioned.\u0026nbsp; The Sheppard removed his hat, It had some text on the back inside rim of the hat.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"It says something.\"\u0026nbsp; Ray and Aria leaned forward to read the small tag.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Machine washable.\"\u0026nbsp; Ray said with a slightly disappointed frown.\u0026nbsp; He leaned back into his seat.\u0026nbsp; \"Well... At Central, there are nurses and doctors...\u0026nbsp; I'm sure someone will know what to do... Maybe even have some experience with something like this. \"\n\nThe Sheppard stopped.\u0026nbsp; \"What's Central?\u0026nbsp; Where is Central?\" \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;He asked.\n\n\"Central is where the Guardians learn to... Well... Become Guardians.\"\u0026nbsp; Aria said.\u0026nbsp; \"Where we learn to fight to protect the kingdoms.\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; The Sheppard thought for a moment... It was dim... Very dim... But some how... That seemed familiar to him...\u0026nbsp; Like a wisp of smoke.\u0026nbsp; Just the littlest bit familiar...\n\n\"I... It seems familiar...\"\u0026nbsp; The Sheppard put his head into this hands and tried to think...\u0026nbsp; Everything... It was so blurry in his mind... He couldn't remember anything... But he knew it was there.... Just out of reach in his mind.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Yeah, it's the point of us Guardians.\"\u0026nbsp; Ray said pointedly. \u0026nbsp;\"We protect the kingdoms form chaos and tyranny.\"\u0026nbsp; He raised his fist into a heroic position.\u0026nbsp; Almost as if he was posing for a cover screen for an action movie.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; That part didn't seem as familiar to the Sheppard.\u0026nbsp; Fighting for the kingdom seemed to be somewhat familiar, but a cool action pose?\u0026nbsp; That part didn't seem to ring any bells...\u0026nbsp; \"I... I still don't remember.\"\u0026nbsp; He said quietly.\u0026nbsp;\n\nAria came over and sat down next to the Sheppard, he looked up to her.\u0026nbsp; She looked rather nice... He thought.\u0026nbsp; She gave a little smile, and placed her hand down on his shoulder.\u0026nbsp; The feeling made him jump.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"What?\"\u0026nbsp; Aria pulled her hand back.\u0026nbsp; The feeling was so foreign.\u0026nbsp; He almost felt like he had never experienced something so small, as a hand on his shoulder.\n\nAria pulled back a little.\u0026nbsp; Trying to get a good look at the Sheppard, trying to understand him.\u0026nbsp; Ray sat opposite them, watching the Sheppard with a curious look.\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;The Sheppard leaned forward, putting his face back into his hands.\u0026nbsp; He leaned forward as he did this.\u0026nbsp; There was a metallic clicking sound, and something fell from the top of his coat, and caught around a thin chain around his neck.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\nAria leaned in closer.\u0026nbsp; \"Hey...\"\u0026nbsp; She gently reached for the dangling necklace.\u0026nbsp; The Sheppard pulled back a little to let her see the necklace.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"It's a Tag...\"\u0026nbsp; Aria said quietly.\u0026nbsp; \"WA-7-77.\"\u0026nbsp; She frowned.\u0026nbsp; It was just a few letters and numbers.\u0026nbsp; No name was printed onto the tag.\u0026nbsp; The Sheppard looked at it, and took it into his hand.\u0026nbsp; WA-7-77...\u0026nbsp; Why did that seem to raise his hackles... It was eerie...\u0026nbsp; Like he was looking at something that was very, very wrong.\u0026nbsp; He rubbed it in between his finger and thumb.\u0026nbsp; It felt smooth on the top, and rough on the bottom...\u0026nbsp; He turned it over.\u0026nbsp; Aria and Ray looked closer as well.\n\nCarved on the back, with what looked like was done with a rather sharp object.\u0026nbsp; Were four letters.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"John.\"\u0026nbsp; They all said at the same time.\u0026nbsp; They looked to The Sheppard.\u0026nbsp; He looked back.\n\n\"My name is John.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/789527-grey-war-part-one-chapter-4.json"}
