Zero only has one goal, to be human. Escaping from the cell that once contained her, the outside world, which she longed to see for so long, is filled with more darkness than she expected.
She is faced with a world that is determined to label her a...
Nine slammed the laptop shut as he held back the seething rage that threatened to spill out.
His chest heaved up and down at the realisation that he had been deceived for his entire life. The mutants had been led to believe that they were orphans who had been abandoned by parents who didn't want them. Professor Sullivan made it seem like she had rescued them from pitiful lives and gave them meaning.
Nine remembered how they all dreamed of making it out of Professor Sullivan's clutches and reuniting with their families someday. They all spoke about how they wanted to live normal lives after completing the task that had been assigned to them.
They would never get the chance to live normal lives. That chance was robbed from them the second they were made. They were never superior to humanity. They were just lab rats being used to complete her bidding.
He heard slow footsteps quickly approaching the room that he was in from the outside. The room was just a normal bedroom. But if the laptop was seen it would raise suspicions.
Faster than the eye could see, he picked up the laptop and placed it on top of the high cupboards.
He slammed his body on the ground and began to do pushups just in time for the door to open.
Professor Sullivan burst into the room angrily.
'Have you seen my laptop?', she asked.
'No'.
She raised a brow when she noticed that he was working out. She had designed the mutants to have perfect bodies so exercising was never necessary.
'What are you doing?'
'I...need...to...make...sure...I...won't...lose...to...Zero', he spoke each word between his pushups.
'That is not necessary anymore, you will be going to protect the President in case Zero decides to attack him'.
He stopped his pushup midway to look at her.
'Is this 'President' one of us?'
She shook her head.
'I just need him until the Gala is done', she laughed,' After that, you're free to kill him'.
He nodded in silent understanding.
He stood up and sat on the bed as she left the room.
The cogs in his head were turning as he looked at the spot that she had been standing at for long after she had left.
