The Lost

Labyrinth Falls

6 years later

Annabeth tore through the city on the motorbike. Her previous life was gone. Burned up in a fiery explosion. She wasn't really watching the streets. She kept her head down. Letting her sensors and the computer half of her drive her safely and swiftly out of town.

Doing this allowed her human mind to wander. To grieve. Everything she had known since she had awoken after the surgery that saved her life. All of it was gone. Azazel, Robin, so many others. Damian. He fell first when they had been raided, but not before taking out ten of their guys bare handed before being shot in the back of the head.

They had been breached from multiple entrances and were losing because they didn't have any warning. Annabeth had slammed her fist into emergency evacuate, trying to save anyone she could. She managed to take down two whole hallways of men before she was even hit for the first time.

She took a bullet to the shoulder and regrouped when she found Aaron and Robin pinned down. She opened her sensors and the 3D layout of the base appeared. Motion sensors indicated where things were. Annabeth snapped her fingers to Robin, motioning that there were enemies nearby.

They talked with their hands for a moment and Annabeth was trying to tell her to just stay still, when Robin turned around the pillar, gun raised and firing. Aaron followed Robin's lead, and they were both gunned down in an instant.

This part of her memory, this is why she needed her computer half to drive. She felt the urge to let go of the the throttle and slam the breaks, and turn around and finish this. But blind rage was not going to help the situation.

Annabeths heart had broken into a million pieces in that instant. Not just from losing Robin. She was her other half. But she could also feel the loss of others.

Tears fell from Annabeth's eyes as she continued to live out her process. The memory was burning itself into her brain. Computer and human brain alike.

In that instance, the rage welled so vastly inside Annabeth that her usually aqua blue eyes, that sometimes became red, turned pitch black and started smoking.

An interface displayed a message in Annabeths mind, asking if it should unlock project D-3. She hit yes, and Annabeth's form changed. Compartments opened. Her legs and arms grew a few inches, and there was a slight glow she was emitting, which she would find out soon enough that this was a force-field.

Once she got the message, mode change: complete, she stood and walked around the corner, guns in hand and pulled the trigger until her clip was empty, and every one of her bullets found its mark. Armed with thermal sensors, and motion sensors, someone would be hard pressed to sneak up on her.

She traveled down the hallway, stopping when she heard yelling coming from medical. She rushed over, two figures had Akari and her brothers at gun point. She didn't even announce her presence as she shot them both in the head through the wall.

She stepped through the doorway as the bodies came to rest on the ground. "You have little time. Get to the garage. Take your car and your brothers and get out of here. Everyone else is already dead. Save yourself. I'm setting the base self destruct for 5 minutes."

Akari looked petrified. Annabeth got in her face and slapped her. "Get your ass moving!" She screamed at Akari. The older of the two brothers took the hint, and got them moving. Annabeth received a glare, and a thank you in one look.

She didn't want to take any chances, so she went with them. They tried to stop for things. "Grab nothing. The keys are in the garage. I still have a few things to do. But I can promise you this. I am not going to die. Not tonight! We have lost--"
