In 2015, Regina Carmine was paid to participate in the Resurrection Protocol experiment, signing an agreement that her consciousness could be recreated any time after her death. Two hundred years later, following the discovery of her bones, an anthropologist brings her consciousness back for 200 hours. But what is meant to be a study in a pivotal time of American history, becomes a murder mystery and a lesson in finding peace within one’s own skin.

The Tally by kgoodwill
16 parts Complete
I run a tattoo parlor, I work everyday doing the same thing. The same people walk in and all ask for the same thing. A tally mark among the other cluster of tally marks. I never ask why I just put a l line next to the one I did the week before but after doing it for so long you start to wonder. I should have never put my nose in these people's business but I wouldn't be where I am today without doing so, but for you to understand I must start from the beginning. Tayla is an owner of a tattoo parlor, she was taken away and became a hacker for an assassins organization. After failing one too many times she was taken to the doctors where she became an experiment. They mixed her DNA with that of a Cobras giving her new abilities to be there new weapon. What will happen to Tayla? Will she ever be the same? A/N Pictures do belong to whoever posted them, I found them on google. I understand that the pic I have for my characters are from movies and those movies do belong to those writers. I created all original characters for this story with an interesting time line. My character Victor was inspired from the one of Gotham but he is not the same character I created him to look the same as him (obviously) and sorta the same occupation but that is it. He will be a new character.

I ran downstairs into the living room, my heart pounding as I found all my brothers gathered around Nefeli. Her eyes were frantic, scanning the room, desperately searching for me. The scream that bastard had let out earlier must have reached her... The moment our eyes met, she practically threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around me so tightly I could barely breathe. I stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to do. I hugged her back anyway... Even though I had no idea what was going on. "Thank God you're safe" she murmured in my ear, her voice trembling, leaving me even more confused. I glanced at my brothers. They all looked just as lost as I was. Except for Aiden and Alex. They were motioning for me to hold on. "Of course I'm okay, Nefeli. What happened?" I asked, my heart tightening. I hated seeing her like this, so worried and panicked. "I-I heard Alex and Aiden talking in Italian!" she stammered, her eyes wide with panic. "They said something about the Mafia! Are we being threatened by the Mafia?" Her voice cracked, and tears threatened to spill from her brown eyes. The room fell silent for a moment. My brothers exchanged looks, and then, without warning, we all burst into laughter. Nefeli stared at us, completely confused. Cole, finally calming down, wiped his eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Love" he said, his voice smooth, "we're not being threatened by the Mafia." he let the words settle in the air for a second. "We are the Mafia." β€’ β€’ β€’ _______________________________________________________ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ Mentions of abuse, violence, harsh language, bad mental health, and light depression!
