Hour Zero

Zero - Pilot

She sat on top on a pole looking over the street at night just like every night. She didn't want to be seen, she felt very uncomfortable in her own body so she hid from everyone by just chilling on buildings looking over streets, enjoying the quiet and not so quiet nights.

She convince herself that this way she got her daily dose of social contact. Because except from looking at people from rooftops she was quiet when she were on missions never talked to anyone just did her own thing and that was it. After the fall of her love she hadn't really recovered, not only from losing him but also the part that she lost, the scars that were left fysically.

Every time you looking in a mirror she saw horror, burnwounds, a metal cheek an eye that had turned black. So after a few time of looking at herself she had covered all the mirrors in the room and had at all times a face mask on. When showering she didn't look at herself body it would be too much. Just the thought of looking at herself made her so uncomfortable and often she started to panick.

Nobody knew her name. She went undercover under the name zero. Everyone knew it wasn't her real name her team has asked her for her real name but every time she answered with "don't ask" she was a girl of little words. People knew her like that she didn't talk much but she had talent, talent to kill and to do it silent.

She was staring at the sky thinking about her past. Her parents had raised her as an assassin. They hadn't give much love they just a lot of training. And they did die when she was around 16. She didnt have many memories of them and after that she lived alone and her boyfriend helped her with everyday stuff.

Then something took her interest, a familiar voices but she only heard them on Wednesday but is wasn't Wednesday. Because she observed so much she kind of knew the regulars at certain restaurants. She looked down and yes it was them a woman with dark brown hair she didn't talk too much but she was around another girl with platinum blond hair. Just like her own hair it also once was Platinum blond now it was just black her normal hair color. They seemed like good friends, Then there was an much older man he had a  beard looked pretty muscular and around the age of 50, Zero thought he was called Bear because that's what they constantly said to him. Then you had a cowgirl she was a bit shorter then the two other girls she always wore a cowboy hat and she looked pretty chill. And then the one she observed the most the cyborg. He always gave her a familiar vibe but she never saw his face he had a face mask on she always hoped to see his face. She just needed to know if she knew him. The looked at them from the shadows they looked like good friends.

She looked away for a moment and sighed she kind of hated this life constantly sitting on a rooftop watching other peoples life's. But what could she do otherwise she couldn't just go in the open and meet people.

She looked back up at the stars the soft wind breezing over her face the soft sounds of people talking it was calming. She relaxed and closed her eyes, thought about her boyfriend. Then pain started to take over she laid her hand on her face where her burnwounds were that night, the fight she just had gone trough and then the sight she saw. It was burned in her memories. A red tear started to form in her eyes sge quickly brushed it away no, no more tears it had been years. She needed to get over it she wouldn't get him back she couldn't do anything. Her life then was over now she was just a tool to be used by her team. 'At least I still have free time I should be greatful' she thought and sighted.

She looked back at the group then she saw the guy didn't have his face mask on. She was shocked for a moment his eyes were the same as her love but he was dead. On that moment she just stood up and walked to the side of the building and sat there for a moment she didn't want to see them not right now at least.

The moment zero had stood up the guy had seen her "Ghost, everything okay?" N asked him. He saw someone move on the roof of a building. "Ghost?" N said again. "sorry, yes everything is okay" he said and smiled soft at her.  Ghost then turned back to the roof. Something was there actually someone was there.

She just looked at the stars again it was more quiet now. She thought of renting a hotel room for the night she didn't have any missions in the morning so it wouldnt be a problem. So why not she though yeah this could relax her a bit.

She put her hood on and stood up to jump of the building in a small ally. And she did with a flawless landing and walked away out of the ally to an hotel. When she arrived at the hotel she checked in and went to her room there she succeeded in getting a shower without even getting a glimps of herself in the mirror. And then getting to bed but unfortunately it was another restless night for Zero so she went exploring in the building.

"are you fucking kidding with me..."
