Genius

The Beginning

A girl was tied down to a large metal chair. Her wrists itched as a result of the leather holding them still. She sat quietly, feeling numb. A man walked over and placed circular devices around her head. He walked away and nodded at another man that sat behind a desk.

"Good morning, how are we today?" The man who went by the name "X" asked the girl.

"Fine." She squeaked out, barely unable to speak from all the screaming she did the night before.

"Good. Do you know why I'm here?" He asked.

"Tests." She spoke feeling her vocal cords scrape against eachother as a result of dehydration.

"Very good. What's your name?" He asked while opening a journal.

"Nibiru." She responded with a heavy heart knowing that wasn't her true name.

"How long have you been here?" He asked.

"Twelve years." She replied.

"Do you know you're next target?" He asked.

"Garfield Tanabaum." She said.

They always had Nibiru place her hands in a certain way. They didn't let her stretch out her fingers, instead they forced her to make a fist causing her nails to dig in to her palms. Once they didn't let the girl bite her nails off for a full six months which gave her scars on her palms.

"Good. Now, keep your eyes on me. This man is going to cut your hair." He said as another man walked closer. She should've cared but she didn't. This had just become natural procedure to her.

"Very good." He kept reassuring her.

"How old are you?" He asked.

"Nineteen." Her voice still hoarse.

"Do you know what you have to do today?" He asked.

"Kill Garfield." She replied as her brown hair fell to her feet.

The man cutting her hair cut it very short then brought out an electric razor. He gave her a mowhawk hair style. Her hair would be just long enough to push to the side making her look like only on side was shaved. This also caused her to look more like a boy.

"You know not to leave any witnesses?" He asked. She nodded slightly.

"Good. You've been training a long time for this. All your other accomplishments are nothing compared to this one. Are you ready to move to the next stage?" He asked.

"No choice." She said nearly loosing her voice entirely.

"That's what I like to hear." The man smirked.

"Once you complete this mission, the world will be reborn as will you. We will enter a new phase where the world lives and breeds in chaos and at the center of all this madness... You, my Nibiru, you will accomplish great things." He smiled and walked closer to his prized assassin.

A woman entered behind her with a syringe filled with a green plasma. Nibiru braced as the needle was placed in her arm. Thinking for a second she realized X hadn't used the devices stuck to her head today.

I must've answered everything correctly today. She thought.

She felt the plasma move through her veins. It always burned as it dispersed through her. Her eyes teared up and her mind went blank just as it was supposed to. The man placed his hand on the girl's forehead. She blinked away her teas while watching his eyes turn white. A shock waved down her body and her mind became jaded as the man began to speak.

"Be reborn." He smiled. The girl was no longer herself. She couldn't have her movements to herself.

"Hello Nibiru. Are you ready for your mission?" He asked.

"Yes." The girl replied. The girl felt like she was locked in her own body. She had no say in what her body would do. She was afraid but relieved at the same time. Nibiru could no longer feel pain or hunger which was the only thing she welcomed about this process.

"Good. Now, do what you must." He waved her away.
