There was a buzzing sound in my ear, I knew what was coming next.

"Agent Carter are you in?" The voice said.
 
"I'm in." I replied.
 
"Do what you have to, and get out of there. Over and out."
 
I grabbed my pack off the ground and started to the building, the wind blowing in my face. I knew what I had to do, I knew it likely was probably a one way trip. I still had to do it. My family and the rest of the country depended on it. The pack felt heavy on my back, I knew what sat inside. I reached the building in mere seconds, my speed aiding me. I opened the door that led straight towards my destination: the lab. That's where I had to destroy what was being stored. A device so powerful that it could knock the power out for the entire country permanently, along with destroying all devices. As I entered the lab, not a sound other than my light footsteps echoed. I pulled off my pack and found the device, but before I could grab the explosives out, an alarm rang out.

Book 1 of the Legends Never Die series. Legend. A program designed by five previous agencies, who had banded together to create an all powerful team of agents. This was a group of the worlds strongest, smartest, and loyal people. They were sought out by Legend's commanders, split into teams of five, and trained into powerful beings. Hackers, Assassins, Combat Soldiers. They were weapons of humans, used by Legend to protect their home, communities, and people. Various programs of Legend were spread all around the world, each trained and conditioned the same. And now? Most of them were terminated. Very few stayed at Legend, and became head of the programs. Now they oversee each and every asset. Those who left, started normal lives. Found love, had children. Got office jobs or moved to a beach for retirement. But no matter how hidden, they would never be safe, and some of those agents understood that. So as Legend began to dye out, the Chiefs started contacting all former Legend agents, and proposing a new idea. A new agency. A smarter, more powerful, more compassionate and loyal agency. One that would ensure the protection of each family. Knowing that no former Legend agent would be safe on their own, they agreed to the new program. All former Legend assets and their families would return to the agency, where they would live comfortable lives. Where they would be safe. The children of those former agents were raised into the new program. Assessed by members of their families and head of the agency. Once old enough to be evaluated on their skills, they were split into teams of five, and trained just like their parents. More powerful than their parents ever were, at even younger ages. Each of them became, a Legacy. Follow the story of Legacy's strongest group of young agents through character point of views, development, and conflict.

"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin. "Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance... I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what. Highest Ranks: #17 In Romance #5 in Soulmates

I see how people die. It only happens the first time I touch someone. A handshake. My arm brushing yours on the subway. All of it. So much noise, every day and all the time. Drives a girl crazy after a while. If there's no skin contact, my head belongs to me for a few more seconds each day. I've seen every scenario. Except for one. I've never played an active role in a death. That is, until now. Copyright © epicmishamigo 2019 July 25th 2019- October 8th 2019
