"How could this happen? I thought you said she was safe!" "I'm sorry, sir. We thought we could contain it, but her powers were already too strong. She threw down one of our best agents with a single blow!" "Well, we can't let something like her run care-free through the streets! I want every agent searching Numbani, and taking in every person who looks anything similar to her." "Don't worry, we already have our best agents set out on that mission." "You mean the ones who 'got thrown down in a single blow'?" "Well, who said they would be the only one? We'll find them, I can assure you." "You had better find them. The future of our corporation depends on it."
Winston re-watched the video. Talon commanders were talking about some kind of weaponized soldier. It sounded like they were a girl. An extremely powerful one at that. Winston kept watching to find any clues as to who it could be. After rewatching it again, he gave up. Completely stumped, he decided to head to his tire he called a "bed" and go to sleep. WHen he was about to sleep, he suddenly had a feeling. Almost like someone was watching him... Oh well. It was probably nothing. He thought as he fell into slumber.
(OC incoming!)
Mira walked through the streets of Numbani. She had a dress that looked like it was half of a goth dress and half of a princess dress stitched together. Even though it looked hideous, it quickly grew on her. She had no shoes, too expensive for her. She had one purple eye, and one blue eye. As she passed people by on the streets, she saw no one with a similar condition where one eye had a sepreate color than the other. She also had a heart-shaped pin in her hair. Surprisingly, she also had a pet. In her backpack, she had a...thing. She couldn't really tell what it was. It had green skin, and four feet, but no legs connecting the feet to the body. Its eyes looked like big yellow buttons. It didn't have ears, but it somehow heard just fine. It also had no nose or tail. It almost looked like a incomplete doll. It also talked, even though it had no mouth. Even though it was weird, Mira learned to accept it. She kept it hidden from public in her backpack. It didn't need air to live somehow. Mira had a lot of questions about herself. Like, how her oldest memory was waking up in a dumpster with no clothes, no money, nothing except her pet (which she named Betty). Also, when it was said Mira's dress looked like it came from the dump, well it literally was from the garbage dump she woke up in.
Mira finally walked over to her job. A coffee shop in Numbani square. She opened the door, and Betty quickly jumped out of her pack. Thankfully, the shop wasn't open yet, so nobody saw Betty except Mira's boss, an old lady named Pauline. "Hello, Betty!" Pauline addored in a baby voice one would talk like to a puppy. Betty sighed, "What did I tell you about treating me like an ordinary pet?" Pauline laughed, and looked up ti Mira. "Alright, Mira, get in the kitchen. We open in 10 minutes." "Yes, ma'am." Mira quickly replied. On the way into the kitchen, Mira bumped into the waiter, Scott. He was tall and slim, with a baseball cap, and listened to music through enormous headphones while he worked. "Oh, hi Mira." "Hey, Scott." Mira and Scott never talked much. Mira still liked having him around so she wouldn't have to serve the food and leave Betty alone.
about an hour and a half later, Mira heard a big crash coming from up front. Mira stepped out of the kitchen, and saw a tall, muscular guy with a gun threatening Pauline. The crash sound was a gunshot the man shot into the ceiling to make his point. Mira shouted, "Hey! Knock it off!" The man looked at Mira, and laughed. "Who's gonna make me?" Mira sighed. She was hoping to end this peacefully.
At Mira's will, purple crystals started growing on her arm. The robber shot once at her, but Mira held her crystalized arm up, and the bullet bounced right off it. The robber shot more times, again, Mira blocked it with the crystals on her arm. Mira held her other arm out and shot a razor sharp crystal into the man's neck. The man fell to the ground, bleeding from the jugular. He was unable to scream, as his windpipe had been cut. Mira turned her arms back to normal as Pauline called the police to pick up the robber and send him to jail.
Later that night, Mira turned the open sign on the front of the door to closed, and walked out of the shop. She and Betty headed back to their 'home', the dumpster Mira woke up in. Suddenly, Mira saw...something. A shadow of a man walking into a dark alleyway. Mira looked around, and followed the shadow. She saw a tall guy in black robes pointing a big gun at a old couple. "It's easy, just give me the money..." The man in black said to the couple in a dark voice. "W-we don't have your money! We're sorry!" The old man said. "Hey!" Mira yelled. The dark man turned around and saw Mira. He had a skull-shaped mask. When he saw Mira, he laughed an evil laugh. "Thanks." He said to the couple. "No problem." The man said, as they walked away, all fear gone from their faces. They were faking the whole scene. Mira realized she was in trouble and tried to run, but there were two big guys in black robes behind them, with the Talon Organization symbol on the front of their jackets. The man in the skull mask laughed again, and Mira knew she was doomed...
