Girl of Lightning (A Code: Breaker Fanfic)

Chapter One:

"Halt! Who are you?" One of the security guards demanded, his gun held ready.

Ogami steps forward, keeping his face in the shadows. "We have business here tonight. Please step aside."

The guard narrowed his eyes. "You're Code: Breakers, aren't you?"

Toki slid next to Ogami. "Yes. Right you are. Clever, aren't you?"

The guard aimed his machine gun. "You can't go in. Make one move and I'll shoot you all."

Toki smirked. "That's too bad. Come on out, Inazuma."

That's my cue. I emerge from the shadows.

The guard sneers. "Oh, I'm shaking in my boots! What's a little brat gonna do? Give me a hug?"

I giggle, my eyes flashing wickedly. "Oh, nope. I'm gonna give you something much more shocking!"

Before the guard can react, I leap over and tap his neck. A jolt of static runs through my finger, paralyzing him. His eyes roll backward, and he falls to the ground, unconscious.

"Nighty night." I chirp. 

Toki and Ogami walk over next to me. "Nice work. Let's move."

I hurry after the others. Missions were always fun, until the killing came. Ogami and Toki were able to kill without blinking. Me? I still can't get myself to brutally injure someone, and the sight of blood makes me sick. But if I want to go up in rank from Code: 07, I'll have to grow a backbone and grit my teeth.

Toki lifts his hand and peels away the door. Ogami enters first. Toki and I follow.

We stand in the dark hallway. Ogami lights his finger, bathing the hall in a faint blue light. There's a single door up ahead, padlocked and with a keypad. Lasers line the hall, separating us from the door.

I smirk. This is what I've trained for. Vaulting into the air, I make myself a target for the lasers. Red beams illuminate the hallway, burning holes in the walls. I twist and turn and spin, dodging each one before blasting them into pieces. Soon, all you can hear is the hissing of the demolished lasers, still smoking.

I send a blast of lightning at the keypad, blowing it apart. Toki takes care of the padlock, twisting it like it's a stick of clay. Just like that, and we're in.

"Whoa!" I breathe.

The room was huge. We had managed to get ourselves into the lab where they disected the children. It was a gruesome and terrible place. I have to resist the urge to just blow up the whole place right now.

Suddenly, Toki inhales sharply. "There they are."

I look, and my gut tightens. In the corner, piled high, are the jars filled with the corpses of disected children. 

"Awful." I whisper. "It's awful."

From the corner of my eye, I see Ogami and Toki look at each other. They know full well that it's exactly this kind of act against humanity that gets my blood going, that allows me to kill like they do.

"Can you do it?" Ogami asks.

I nod. "Yes, I can."

"Good, because we have visitors."

I turn, my fingers crackling with electricity. In the doorway from where we came are four men: three human behemoths with strange packs on their backs, and a tall thin man in a suit. The politician.

"Greetings, Code: Breakers." The man says. "I am Tomi Ban, the director of this research." He catches sight of me. "I can understand the you being here, but tell me, why would you drag such a little and innocent girl into this?"
