I feel so out of it. I feel like I'm still asleep but I know I'm conscious. I can see bright lights above me. No one is around me, but I can hear voices. They sound young. Two people. Perhaps around the ages of 12 to 13?
A figure hovered above me. It was a young girl. "Oooo! Leo, it's awake!" Her voice rang in my ears.
"Not it, Lauren, she." The voice of a boy sounded. His voice is lower and more tolerable in my current state of consciousness.
"Whatever. Close enough. The point is she's awake!"
"Shh. She's awake, yes, but she hasn't been for long. She's also got a couple of different drugs in her system, and Agent Yin said we have to be quiet around her."
"I have a name..." I muttered, head spinning.
"She can speak!" The higher-pitched voice returned.
"So she's responsive? How often?" A new figure entered the room.
She was tall and the first person to appear clearly to me. She was clad in red and black clothing. Her hair was a dark, chocolate brown and her eyes were pools of deep maroon. She gave off an intimidating aura. I tried inching away but felt my head ring with a sharp pain. I winced and the woman put her hand over my head. "Are you alright? You got quite the number done on you, kid."
"Agent Yin, Agent Yin! Will she become one of ours? What fighting style will she use?" The woman, Agent Yin, held a finger to her lips and the young girl seemed to quiet down. The younger boy giggled a little.
"Mmn... agent? Fighting? Numbers...? I don't wanna do math right now..."
"You don't have to do anything right now, child. I just need to talk to you."
"I... can do that." I could feel a needle stab into my skin and then a wet rag quickly swipe over the spot. My headache suddenly dulled.
"Alright. Answer as slowly as you need to. I have time."
"Don't you have a mission-"
"Shh. Don't worry about it, Agent Lucian. I sent Agent Arson in my stead." So far, I had yet to hear normal names other than "Lauren" and "Leo" from the two younger kids.
"What's your name, child?"
"Mizuki."
"Full name?"
"Mizuki Silver."
"Do you know your age?"
"19 years."
"What happened to you on April 12th, 2022?"
"..."
"Mizuki?"
"I... I don't know..."
"Where did your wounds come from?"
"Uhm... probably my father..? Maybe just clumsiness..."
"What's the last thing you remember before now?"
"I... I can't..."
"Breathe and think. What happened before this?"
I closed my eyes and tried to remember. Images started flashing and I could just barely pick it all up.
But when I did, I sincerely wished I hadn't.
