A/N: I apologize if Michael & Amanda seem a bit OOC. I only watched most of the first season and, well, yeah…

Enjoy!


The next week Dr. Collin came back as promised and took me to see the secret base. He picked me up after school and bought me lunch at a local diner. "I'm sorry, but we have to do this," he said. I was about to ask what he was going to do but then I blacked out.

When I woke up, I was laying on a small bed. I looked around and found myself in a large, well-lit room. All four walls were white and the harsh fluorescent lighting made them seem whiter. I got up and realized the floor and ceiling were also white. Then I realized I wasn't alone.

"Sorry about that," Dr. Collin said behind a small table with two chairs. "Have a seat."

"Where am I?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"Division," he replied simply. "This is where you will train, learn, eat, and sleep."

"Oh," I mumbled.

We sat in awkward silence for a moment before the door opened and two people came in. The first one, a tall man in his mid twenties, was holding the door open for the second, a tall woman in her late twenties. The man was wearing a black suit with a blue tie. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes. The woman was also dressed in a black, long sleeve dress that went above her knees. She had long, black hair and grey eyes.

She was one of those people who can make you feel nervous and uncomfortable by simply looking at you. When she walked in Dr. Collin stood up and greeted her. She looked important so I figured she must be his boss. I stood up next not wanting to seem rude. She turned to me with a slight smirk on her face and said, "Hello, you must be Roxanne. My name is Amanda. I am the psychologist as well as a trainer here at division. This is Michael; he is one of our best trainers. "

After a brief tour and a few more introductions, our little field trip was over. It was time to head back to the orphanage where I would sleep one final time. After school, I would go back to the orphanage and grab my few belongings. I don't know what they would do or how they would do it, but after leaving my only home, they would stage my demise.


After the bell rang, I ran out of the classroom, went back to the orphanage and grabbed the small bag that contained my stuff. I waited until I heard the signal- a fire alarm. When it went off, I found a girl outside my window. She looked about 14 years old. She had already detached the bars that imprisoned me from the outside. She worked quickly with some strange tools. Soon enough, my window was gone. I gave her my bag and jumped through the hole.

"Run to the forest as fast as you can. Stick to the path and you'll find Michael," she said.

I did as she said.

"Roxanne!" Someone shouted.

The voice came from behind some leaf-covered trees.

"It's me, Michael," the voice said.

I followed it through the darkness of the forest, until I ran straight into him. He grabbed my elbows and steadied me.

"Come on," he whispered, leading me through a different, winding, and narrow path.

I jogged next to him to keep up with his long stride. Behind us I heard a loud explosion. I turned around and saw flames rising above the treetops in the distance. The orphanage had been blown up.

I swallowed a lump in my throat and followed Michael with my head down. My only home in years had just been blown up. Had the others made it out? Was anyone injured? I only had a few friends in the orphanage but they were the closest thing to family that I'd had in a long time. My eyes were a bit watery when suddenly something wacked my chest and knocked me to the ground. I looked up, confused, and saw Michael staring down at me.

"Lesson number one: Never let your guard down. Not even for a second." He spoke roughly and continued trudging forward.

I got up, dusted myself off, and caught up next to him. A few minutes later, I noticed my shoe lace was untied. I knelt to tie it quickly. My mind kept wandering back to little memories of the orphanage. I looked up just in time to catch Michael's foot from hitting my side. I twisted his leg, trying to make him fall down, but instead he just did a weird flip and somehow managed to knock me on my back.

This time he smirked a little and said, "Nice try."

When he turned around, I slid my leg under his feet and made him stumble a bit. I took the opportunity to tackle him to the ground. I fell on top of him, but he easily maneuvered his way on top. He chuckled and got up, offering me his hand now. "You have… spunk, kid. I like it."

Eventually we got out of the forest and ended up at a small gas station. From there, a van picked us up and took us to an empty lot. Another van then took us to an abandoned motel and from there a car took us to an old warehouse. That was the last I remember before waking up at Division Headquarters again.
