                                     One Year later
      After a years worth of training, I'm finally ready to go on a real mission. I prepared myself emotionally and physically for this day. I mastered my abilities and my aim. Today would be the day I would go on my first mission. I was ready for anything. I even got my own suit to use during the battle.
      The first place we were going to is bind. Some say that Cypher is from here but I don't know if it's true. Chamber and I have trained together for a while now. He showed me how to aim a gun and how to use it properly. He even let me use his own a few times. I think you could say I have a little crush on him. I'll be turning 18 soon so then it'll be okay to act upon my little crush. I never found the necklace that my late father gave me but I learned to let go. I am fully aware that I have no family now, and that is okay. I had to learn to live with it
        The team selected for this mission was Viper, Phoenix, Chamber, Skye, and last but not least , me! We got into the jet and arrived in Bind by the morning. We were picking out our guns and I chose a vandal. Chamber was using his own from what I could tell. As soon as we finished getting our guns we started to set up the map to our advantage. Once we were done, it was time.
{In the Mission}
"I'll go B, you guys go A!"
"Zara, are you sure you'll be fine?"
"Yes Viper! Don't worry about me, I'm with Reyna."
"Enemies near A" Phoenix called out
"Only 4 at a, find the other one, Zara." Viper ordered.
"Found them, she's trying to flank, I'll get her."
       I approached them very slowly with my gun out until it turned around. It was me.
"You're...me?"
  "Yes."
      I tried not to think about what I was gonna do. I know me and how my abilities work, she would obviously read my mind. I shot her and we both exchanged a shot at each other. I managed to kill her but I was still injured. I couldn't let the others know, they wouldn't think that I'm capable enough for this job. I had to prove to them that I am. I dealt with the pain until we defused the spike and finished.
"Zara! How was your first mission?" Jett asked.
"It was- good" I said trying not to cough.
      I rushed to my room and took off my shirt immediately looking at the injury. I looked for the bandages I had and quickly washed my bruise first. It was on my hip and it was really red. Disinfecting it and wrapping a bandage around it helped but, it still hurt a lot.
      After dinner Chamber and I, stayed a little to talk a bit. We talked about how life was before all this but he was more interested in me. I told him everything he wanted to know. It's funny, it's as if he's a magnet. I cant get away from him. We headed to his room to talk some more without waking anybody up. We talked for a long time and how the mission was. We were talking until I felt a sharp pain on my hip. I tried not to make it noticeable so I just put my hand on my hip like and other normal person? I don't think he thought much of it but he looked at me in a very cute way. I headed back to my room and looked at my bandages. The blood had already went through which meant it was time to change them. Apparently, I left something in his room and he brought it to me while I was changing my bandages.
"What happened?" He asked hastily.
"Just a little scratch hahahah please don't tell Sage." I said with a smile. He came and sat down next to me and helped me replace the bandages.
"That doesn't look like a scratch. How did it happen?"
"It's just a bruise from the mission, I'll be fine! It doesn't hurt as much."
"If it hurts then you should tell Sage , she wouldn't mind healing you."
"I really don't want to bother her, Vincente, please."
"Fine."
     They said goodnight to each other and went on with their nights. Zara had been thinking about how her birthday was in the next two days. The big 18. She was excited but remembered last year and what had happened.
