The year is 2038. Insane, mad scientists hidden in an underground bunker below the city in the state of Montana want to enhance human abilities. Put us so far above the food chain until cheating is considered natural. To make us stronger, faster, and heighten our senses. Like nothing you've ever seen.. Then send us out to kill the weak, vulnerable, and tyrannical. 

Each year, hundreds of little kids are kidnapped and taken underground, where they are kept in a facility of cells, clean white walls, but unclean air. They are then injected with hundreds of chemicals made to test out their abilities, and see if there are any side effects that need to be terminated. Handled their entire lives only by 'Shiners' men in white, full body suits and gas masks to protect themselves by the floating chemicals. Only the healthiest and strongest of the children injected with these nasty chemicals will survive.

Held captive since she was six, Eva is one of the very few children injected with many harmful chemicals to survive. All her life she has been forced to train as a killer, and see's no real problem with it. Until she finally understands. Experimented on, physically and verbally abused all her life, she's finally done with it.

Along her path to freedom, she befriends many of the other children, now teens, and tries to help them escape by forming secret groups hidden from their captors.
Just when they are about to put their plan into action, the government finds out about all the chaos happening below the city streets, and decides that these teens are highly dangerous if all they know how to do is kill. The government sends in their most skilled soldiers and troops to go underground and kill all these innocent children before they get the chance to take their lives back.

While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking militia commandos and government jobs, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the government has to offer: The Law. To ensure that they would be able to keep ruling the world, The Law started implanting chips into all its citizens. These chips called DEC, as Contained electrical current, it's an electronic chip that looks like a silver dot, these chips allowing The Law and any actual law enforcement to be able to track everyone. And it would help to keep everyone in line and stomp out any pesky notions before they manifested into something bigger, something dangerous.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

(All text was transferred from google docs; none was stolen.) This story is inspired by the video game Detroit: Become Human. All credit goes to the producers of it, and I am not trying to steal any of their content from the game. About: Elias; a 16 year old boy is exploring an abandoned science lab with his friend when he comes across a time machine. He doesn't think it works, and steps inside. He is sucked into the future where the world has completely changed. He stepped out, revealing he was now in a new year: winter in 2038. Luckily, it was closed, and he went to find help. He came across Vincent, an android, who helps him explore the world in the future, and attempts to help Elias get back to 2022. However, there are obstacles. Some androids had developed a mind to kill each other. But Elias helps Vince survive, while Vince helps Elias travel back. Elias develops a close connection with Vince, and wants to stay with him in the future even though it is dangerous. He doesn't want to leave Vince in the world, but can't bring him back with him in the past since there are parts on Vince that aren't invented and will disintegrate. They need to figure something out, but what? Read on to find out... Notice: This story contains mentions of heavy violence, light gore, fear, suicide, and bugs. If you have trouble with these, please do not continue reading. If not, enjoy, and thank you! Notice 2: DO NOT SHIP ELIAS AND VINCENT. Vincent is technically considered an adult while Elias is still a minor. I will kick your shins if you ship them because it is extremely illegal to do so. However, you may think of them as a father and son because that's kind of how Hank and Connor are, though they are both adults. :)
