Won't Get Fooled Again {6}

"Well look who's back." Derek says coming up to us with Garcia right behind him. "Well, I'm glad none of you got hurt."

Elle states, "Yes, someone did." Everyone looks around confused until I raise my hand and wince. I untuck the bottom of my shirt and unbutton it to show my bandages, everyone gasps.

JJ asks, "Oh, my God. What happened?"

I shrug and wince, "You know, just the usual getting scraped by a car." I state and they all laugh.

"Amanda." Gideon starts seriously and everyone looks at him, "You have some explaining to do." He tells me and I nod, we all go up to the conference room and close the door, they sit and I stand at the head of the table.

"Let me start with... I dont want y'all to view me differently because of this story." I say and take a deep breath before continuing, "I was given to an orphanage when I was a baby and spent ten years in it before someone adopted me. I loved them so much, my dad was an artist on the side of an architect and my mom was a stay at home mom. Everything was perfect until my dad died, my mom changed drastically, she started drinking and bringing home random men. What was worse was she started making bombs and killing people she thought no one would miss. I didn't know about it until she decided to teach me, I-I thought that I could learn and not kill anyone with it so she would teach someone who would but the day came when she wanted me to kill someone and I couldn't. She realized that I never had any intention of killing so she tied me up in the basement until she found an apprentice. Adrian Bale. I was supposed to be his first test subject for the bomb but after they had put the bomb on me the cops showed up, you see, I had managed to get the phone and call them. Adrian got away, my mother didn't. She tried to kill me but the cops caught her and I told them how to disarm the bomb. Yeah, so, that's my story." For a while nothing was said then Spence got up and gave me a hug, everyone else followed.
