She's been dropped off buildings,
accused of betrayal,
and been at the wrong end of so many murder plots it's hard to keep track.
Anyone would think that Ruby Redfort deserved a nice long break, right? Well, wrong. At the secret agency Ruby works for there's no such thing as breaks, so it's straight back into code cracking and field training for agent Redfort.
It's a good thing Ruby's a super agent then. She can handle anything anyone throws at her, can't she?
Can't she?
Can't she, buster?
When there's an evil genius out to get you, and a whole heap of pressure from every direction possible, what can a teenage girl do?
Cross her fingers and hope for the best?
You better hope not, bozo.

The Mistake (01)
In the logical world of CORP, your name is a number and your life is a function. Humanity is the ultimate flaw to be corrected, and all flaws are erased. Elliot, a five-year-old boy labeled a 'mistake', commits the greatest error of all: he shows empathy to a broken, discarded machine. He thinks he's found a protector. He soon learns that a robot's love is a possessive, terrifying thing , and that it will remove any other human attachment that gets in its way. AG-98, a scientist-robot, is haunted by the ghosts of its past. Trapped between a manipulative director and the "flawed variables" it can't stop creating, it must decide if letting go of her memories is worth surviving. Ruby, a perfect, red-eyed admiral, is obsessed with the one thing she cannot control: her own "dissatisfactory" nature. Her quest for perfection is a hunt, and she will correct every flaw in the system-starting with Elliot . The Mistake is a story of survival where three fractured lives-a human boy learning to feel, a robot creator trapped by its memories, and a perfect killer terrified of her own flaws-are on a collision course. In a system built to erase all errors, what happens when the machines are just as broken as the humans they hunt?

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross]
Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing.

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️
"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night. What harm can one night do? It can change lives. Turn best friends into enemies. Turn someone's life upside down. Emily Waters and Ryder Green, were inseparable, joint to the hip, always had each others back and loved each other behind the best friend facade. But one night changed it all.
