Chapter 1: awakening
Trinity stared at the technicians surrounding the black vehicle. She was 8 years old. She was the daughter of Elizabeth Knight and a drifter her mother claimed had come from another planet. A man who had identified himself simply as "Joe". To that end, Elizabeth had been trying to hide the young girl around the Knight Estate from Wilton Knight, her husband for some time. Wilton had been working with a man named Lionel Luthor on a project for The Foundation For Law And Government which was a branch of both the government and the Knight Foundation that had been founded in 1965 and was given it's government sanction in 1970, 3 years before Elizabeth had secretly given birth to the girl. The girl had recently grown restless of living in the guest quarters and had ventured into a nearby garage where she had seen technicians from both Knight Industries and LuthorCorp coming in and out of. The two teams of technicians were nearly finished with the vehicle and the Knight Industries team began to walk out of the garage. She stared at the deactivated prototype in awe. She saw the opened driver's side door and climbed in. She saw the strange computerized dashboard was not lit up. She was unusually tall for an 8-year-old. She reached for the power button and the dash lit up like a Christmas tree.
"I am the Knight Automated Roving Robot or KARR if you prefer. I am the prototype of the car of the Future. How May I serve You?" The vehicle's voice processor said. The voice of the vehicle was harsh, cold and had a somewhat metallic feel to it's voice.
"I'm Trinity. My father built you didn't he?" She asked the unprogrammed vehicle.
"Affirmative, Miss Trinity. I was constructed as a Knight Industries vehicle. My serial number is 892478 beta Charlie alpha. What would you like to do?" KARR asked her. She then stared out the rear view mirror and saw the technicians from LuthorCorp coming in.
"Drive. If they discover me, I'll be discovered by my father! He doesn't know I exist. Mother's been hiding me from him for months. Drive!" She said, terrified of the thought of being discovered and then being punished for being different. Her mother had told her 3 years ago that she was different, that she was stronger and faster then most of the kids around her. But she was told she must hide those special abilities. She then saw the shifter move on it's own from park to drive and a new light on the dash lit up denoting "Auto Cruise" and the vehicle's turbine engine roared to life and the vehicle took to the open road...
