I could hear some chatter around me which was gradually getting louder. I opened my eyes to see… myself upside down staring into the concerned eyes of a doctor right as I was spanked.
Holy bejeezus that stings! “WAH WAH WAH!”
Through my teary eyes I could hear the doctor sigh in relief before proclaiming- “Congratulations! She's a healthy little girl!”. I glared with all the fury my little face could muster toward the doctor. I hope you stub your toe or something!
But little girl huh? It crossed my mind what I’d do if I was born female… Though I stopped asking upon the realization that it wouldn’t change me or my goals at all, the biggest concern for me was whether my taste in food or alcohol would change. Now that would be a true disaster!
My little internal crisis was ground to a halt when the doctor passed me to who I assume was my mother… Damn she looked tired. You have my respect new Mother! I tried to look at her face but she appeared lost in thought staring out a nearby window… she looked sad almost?
But like a switch she turned positive as the door was pushed open and a man I can only assume to be my father entered, he was even wearing a lab coat! YES! Born into a family of science! Cha-ching hell yeah, thank you whatever entity chose such a perfect start for me!
David Shield POV
I sat outside the room waiting for my wife to give birth… I’d insisted on being present during this time but my wife had vehemently denied any such suggestions under threat of her shoe in places it really shouldn’t be. So I waited, no matter how advanced the technology or how advanced the techniques I couldn’t stop myself from worrying over my wife and child.
A doctor opened the door to the room before glancing around and beckoning me forward. He smiled while directing me inside. Haha! I knew she was too tough for childbirth to pose a problem!
I opened the door and quickly strode into the room, Lisa looked like she had run a marathon and the ball of adorableness that was my daughter made my heart melt- I swear I could almost see her smiling back at me!
She had sparse light brown hair on her head with 2 little sapphire eyes sparkling cutely on her face. I looked excitedly to my wife, “What should we name her?”.
“How about… Lil-[T̷̻͈̲̐́̀ę̴͎̜̋m̶̡̦̹͗̈́̏́p̴̥̟͙̤͒͆͝ö̵̠͙̟́̃r̴͕͇͐̀̀ä̷̘ļ̷̻̰̻͋̅ ̴̛̩̻͗͑͝O̵̫̤̥̭̿̌̋v̶̹͑̏e̶̢̡̗͔̾̀͗r̷͍͋r̶̝̳̕̚͘͝ͅǐ̶̹̙ͅd̶̹͒̌̃̚e̶̳͔͊̃͋] Sam?”
Sam POV
What in the kentucky fried fuck was that?! Did nobody else hear that?! Well it certainly confirms I’ve got someone watching over me… hopefully to protect myself and not for some other reason though.
[Are you alright Sam? Your heart rate has reached rather extreme levels]
Mimir! Glad to have you back- as for my slight heart attack, I think one of those Admins you mentioned just manipulated my parents into giving me my current name.
[I see. Now that you mention it. . . being named ‘Sam’ once again would be rather lucky, I’ll try to check the data log for an-[ACCESS DENIED]. . . . . . . . . I’ll take your word for it]
>_>
[Is something the matter?]
“Sigh, don’t worry about it… any idea why someone would send me here and interfere to begin with?”

[Unknown, Admins have been known to take individuals from iterations of your prior universe on numerous occasions before inserting them into new worlds, you would be somewhere around the 2500th being to be exported into the current folio”]
"The hell’s a folio? Different iterations I can understand- multiverse or something right? But folio sounds a little concerning”.
[The omniverse can be separated into 3 categories so far as I'm aware- The ‘Station’ of the Admins, then the Observatory and it’s iterations , followed by the folio where we currently are, while I may know the layout of reality I am only cleared to know information pertaining to a single observatory universe (your own) and any folio you drew upon to receive a blueprint]
Ok this is gonna need a small breakdown… Does this mean there are 2500 other people from my old reality running around in this world? While it’d be nice to chat with someone who had a similar experience, the thought of 2500 more people with the ability to make anything sounds like a recipe for disaster.
[No need to worry, you are currently the only one exported into this world, each folio has essentially infinite iterations, before you ask; yes this does mean I have information on worlds you perceive as fiction and I should have more information on this world too, though it appears to have been deleted]
Soooo… mystery universe of manipulators of godly proportions on top, single multiverse below that followed by every possible universe and accompanying multiverse?
[Close enough]
And I’m just gonna skip over the deleted info, I’ll find out the info pretty soon anyway… losing memories or data doesn’t hurt by the way right?
[It does not, thank you for-[̴̧̝̣̱͋̀̋̽Č̸̙̇͐̇o̸̤̳̳̟̚ò̸̱̩̬̄͝p̸͇͈̟͖̉͐͆ȩ̴͙̗͐̈̒̅r̶̮̀ả̴͋̒̕ͅt̸̳͇̒i̷̐̃̌̚ͅò̵̭̩͜ņ̷̭̤̈́́̚ ̵̧̃̔͑͝a̷̡̳̽̓̊ć̸̦͚̒̋k̴̹̩̭̪͗n̸̞̟͚͛͝ô̸͔͊̈́͝w̶̛̙͚̕͝l̵̥̘͔̠̏̇͗́e̵̜̯̦̾̿̀̽ḍ̴̛̃̇͝ḡ̴̠̫̤͔͒͠e̶̘͍͋̈̅͝ḑ̷̠̯̭́̋]̴̝͂̈́͘͝-your concern]
………Don’t worry about it… anyway… back to reality for a bit.
During this whole conversation I’d been acting cute for my parents (mainly the dad) by tugging on his beard, grabbing his fingers and giving out some cute little gurgles- overall I reckon I deserved a damn oscar!
Though I’d appreciate it if the old man stopped trying to tickle me! I swear his fingers were bending the wrong way even! Emergency plan activate!... Hey Mimir could you briefly put me to sleep again?
[Alright, knockout in 5, 4, 3]
Success! Being looked upon with love by a parent was a new and i’ll be honest- rather heartwarming experience, though the sweetness was a bit too much for me to handle currently… Also as a baby I really was quite tired and was anticipating a bit of sleep.
See ya later pops. I groggily yawned before drifting off.
Hours later…
A cute little yawn was heard from what looked like a bed capsule hybrid as Samuel- now truly just Sam woke up. Hmm? I’m feeling a bit hungry…. I hope they have formula or something… I don’t want to look my Mother in the eye with memories of… that.
Well… let's get this over with- “WAH WAH WAH!”
A little bit of waiting later and fathers face came into my vision above the sci-fi crib… His eyes were puffy and swollen on top of looking like he’d missed a few days of sleep… I hadn’t been out for that long, right? Hey Mimir, do you know how long I was asleep for?
[7 hours, 19 minutes and 48 seconds]
While he picked me up and brought me over to a chair to feed with a bottle I finally noticed what had made him so distraught… or the lack of someone I should say, the bed near the window… was empty. Oi oi, what am I? An edgy protagonist? Did she kick the bucket right after popping me out?
[She isn’t dead, she left the room 2 hours after you had fallen asleep]
So it’s just abandonment then? Must suck for old father dear here but probably still better of a scenario than I thought… By the way how’d you know the time when she left?
[Her breathing, 5 hours ago I could hear her leave through the window]
She really didn’t wanna be confronted it seems. Well screw her then, at least I still have one good parent! I started gurgling (really the only sound I could make) happily at Dad to try and cheer him up, “Oi old man, you may have lost Mother but I promise I’ll make you a billionaire the moment I can control my body and build stuff!”, of course all he heard were different slightly more determined baby noises.
On the topic of building stuff though, I really should do it as soon as possible- Don’t wanna miss the early stages of growth where the body (particularly the brain) is the most malleable.
Maybe if I can build an enhancement of some sort? Super soldier AKA America’s ass serum isn’t viable, extremis also would be terrible, perhaps some external enhancement items? Let me see, I need something that will boost my body, it doesn’t have to be an immediate boost but it does have to work while I’m staying still… it also has to be within my capabilities to make though… staying still…? Wait a sec, hey Mimir can you send me the blueprint for the shiny stone from terraria?
[It will take 1 minute to absorb, proceed?]
Do it… for that matter so long as it doesn’t cause any issues keep the stream of information going to any other items from Terraria too.
[Will do]
Alright now… how hard could building a shinier than average stone be?
