"Uh... no, thanks."
Sean sat down, carefully eyeing the creature.
"I would prefer to let this.. piece of artifice take care of itself. Interface! Reconfigure!"
It was a far shot. The memory restructuring was not complete, and even then some of the sequences were damaged beyond repair. There was no way to tell if any powers or abilities have been restored. But Sean could no longer tolerate the feeling of helplessness before someone, or something, that he would have otherwise probably looked down upon.
To his relief, the suit responded. Power lines running from the dark red gem on the "belt" of the suit lit up, pulsing slowly with green-tinted energy. With a barely audible hiss, the loose shreds of the metamolecular fabric evaporated, and the gaps in the suit's surface were sealed in the blink of an eye. Flat sheets of reflective metal began to form over the chest and shoulders of the suit, and the hands and feet took on a silvery form as well. By the time Sean stood up again, his outfit has dramatically transformed into a properly futuristic suit, augmented with silvery chest armor, gauntlets, and high boots.
"Well now. This changes a few things. Acquire."
Sean held out the palm of his hand towards the seat. A plume of bright green light engulfed the seat, and within a fracture of a second it was gone.
"I'll be off now. See you around. Verrin. Interface, Darkwing mode!"
A sudden cloud of dark smoke concealed the transformation of the suit. A second later, a violent gust of wind tore the smoke apart, but Verrin was now alone in this part of the forest.
Sean was content with just lifting off and hovering just above the treeline. The optical camouflage was doing its job well enough, and there was no need for getting too far away. Still, his powers were not restored, and the limited resources of the interface alone would not help him find out his location or return to where he was. Furthermore, the interface was running low on power. Sean would need to find a source of energy, and fast.
