It was back, far back when the freelancers were just starting out. The commander telling everyone, that one room was off limits permanently.
His daughter Lilith was in that room. Well the pre-made daughter, that he created. A failure of his test, to recreate someone. She was out cold in a machine,that's keeping her alive. Her equipment next to it. A hand crafted sniper rifle. Two sleeping A.I's built in her brain, giving her a way to live.
Halting everyone at there spots the Director looked at his army
"Any questions?" The director asked as he finished the tour.
Agent Washington a curious male raised his hand.
"Ya, um two.... One! Why are we named after state's? Two... You never showed us THAT room." He replied pointing at a sealed and locked door.
"Agent Washington." The director started. "You are at a need to know bases. As for that room, there is nothing to worry about, just s project gone wrong thrown in there." He replied. "You all are dismissed."
With that the director walked away with the counselor.
Washington sighed looking at his new team.
It was short.... Each state except two. Texas... And Louisiana. Both reserved for unknown reasons.
Agent Carolina sighed "North lets get that door open..." She whispered "theres no way its some old project!"
"Whoa whoa Carolina clam down... No need to-- Carolina knock it off!"
Agent North Dakota. A reasonable person. Sitting back as he watched Carolina break the door down.
"North! Look at this!" She said walking in taking her teal helmet off.
North followed with Washington right behind him.
All three seeing a girl laying in a Cyro pod.
"Agent..... Litkan...?" Carolina asked looking threw notes. "Soon to be Louisiana. Know for violent actions and... Killing her own team.. Jesus!" Carolina replied backing away.
"Well we can't just leave her in there!" North stated as he looked at the pod.
"She needs help Carolina! Lets get her out of there!"
"Are you fucking crazy!?" Carolina replied looking around. "North! She killed her team look at her armor and the custom made Sniper rifle! No way in hell are we letting her out--"
But before Carolina could continue protesting the pod opened.
North had already broken in it.
Cold air filling her lungs. Blinking fast as the red head fell to the ground. Her bun falling out spilling to the ground. Gagging as she soon threw up.
"Ewwwww!!!" Washington said stepping back as North patted her back. "She must have been in there for a long long time if she threw up...." He whispered keeping his side arm on him incase of anything.
But before anyone could react Lilith had pulled his arm behind his back and pushed him into a wall spitting to the side.
"Who the fuck are you!?" She demanded.
"Oh shit!" Washington yelled holding his side arm up as an alarm went off.
"Take it easy there Litkan..." Carolina said aiming her pistol at Lilith's head.
"Just let North go and everything will be okay."
"You threatening me?" Lilith asked giving a soft laughter. Pushing North to the side as she walked to a table. All three aiming there pistols at her. Yet she showed no hesitation as she fixed her bun grabbing her sniper rifle.
"You guys gonna shoot me or what?" She asked looking at them putting her black and red helmet on. She looked more like a kid. But everyone knew she was older than them.
Her fingers traced over the marks and cracks on her helmet. Clearing the dust off it.
North stared at her lowering his weapon.
"Litkan... What happened to you?" He asked softly.
"First off." She replied putting her helmet on. "It isn't Litkan... It's Lilith." She sighed picking her sniper up. Sliding it on her back grabbing all her old equipment.
"Agent Lilith.... I don't like those fake name's were given.. That isn't my name..."
North nodded as the other's lowered there weapon. The Director walking in.
"What in gods name is wrong with you people! I gave pacific orders to stay out of this room!"
"Sir!" All three yelled standing tall at attention.
Lilith on the other hand stared at the director.
"Your a monster...." Was all she said before walking out.
North stared but soon looked forward as the director walked out.
"Well that clears some things... She hates the director." Washington replied.
"Well guy's it seems were in for a new bumpy ride."
North and Carolina nodded quietly sighing.
