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?

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.
