Eve's lungs burned as she ran through the forest. They were catching up with her. She had run faster.
"Agent 436, has the subject been apprehended?" The voice crackled out of a radio.
"Subject has prolonged the chase, sir. It will be apprehended shortly." One of the men replied.
Eve pushed herself harder. She couldn't let them catch her again. She had to run.
~\~\~\~\~\~\~\
Wolverine smelled the air. There was someone on the property. Several someones, actually. In the forest. He took off running.
~\~\~\~\~\~\~\
Eve pushed herself faster. The agents were catching up to her. If she didn't get away-
She shook herself out of those thoughts. She just had to run.
And suddenly she collided with something. Looking up, she realized that there was a man standing in her way.
And then Eve burst into tears.
"P-p-p-please don't hurt me!" She blubbered. "I'm s-s-s-sorry!"
The man growled. "What are ya sorry for, pipsqueak? From what I can see, these men are to blame."
Turning around, Eve realized that the men had caught up to her. She ducked behind a tree. "D-d-don't let them hurt me," she whimpered.
"Stand down, sir," one of the men said. "That girl is government property."
The man growled again. "Lemme tell ya something, bub," he said. "I don't much appreciate it when the government says they own someone."
One of the agents pulls out a gun. "Stand down now, sir, or we will be forced to shoot."
Shhhk. Shhhk.
Metal claws sprouted out of the man'a hands. "I'd like to see ya try, bub."
The men slowly backed up. One glared at Eve.
"Fine," the leader spat. "But we'll be back for that girl."
The men retreated. The man who had protected Eve retracted his claws.
"Hey kid," he said. "You can come out now."
Eve cautiously ducked out from behind the tree.
"What's your name, kid?" The man asked.
"S-s-s-subject f-f-four slash n-nine two six b-b-beta," Eve stutters.
The man frowns. "Didn't they call ya anything else?"
Eve nodded. "Eve," she said quietly.
"That's better," the man said. "How old are ya, Eve?"
"I'm th-th-three," Eve whispered.
"Alright, Eve," the man said. "C'mon, the professor prob'ly wants to meetcha."
Eve nodded slowly. "Do I h-h-have to go b-back?" She asked.
The man growled. "Not if I can help it. Now come on, the professor's prob'ly waiting."
~\~\~\~\~\~\~\
Eve was tired. Any idiot could see that, and Wolverine didn't think of himself as an idiot. He sighed as the white-haired three year old began to slow down as they walked to the mansion. They did make it to the mansion before she fell asleep, though.
Unfortunately, she fell asleep as soon as Wolverine had her sit down in one of the plush armchairs in the front room.
Wolverine groaned. Little kids were impossible.
