AGENT HAYS
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
MORNING AFTER ESCAPE
"Breaking news, earlier today, an escape at a local high security prison was announced. No footage had been released by the prison, which will not reveal its name, but measures have been taken to stop these criminals from getting any further.
The people in charge, have said that there was a freak accident and that everything in their power will be done to bring these criminals back to their cells. If you see any of these fugitives please contact…"
The news reports were getting on her nerves. This wasn't supposed to be happening, but then again none of them were supposed to exist, and if they didn't exist, there wouldn't be this problem. Alright, she should stop this heavy thinking, not when she had her assignments.
Criminals, right. That's what she was up against. Those photos, she already knew who they were, what they could do. Her partner hadn't made it yet, but Agent Liens was always late, she wasn't sure he was up to the work they were going to do, but no one could be spared to help. Liens had a knack for distrusting his "gifted" partners.
Abigail Hays was going to have a headache by the time Liens got here. He was no help at all, brute strength, no plans. That was up to her. She'd been around longer than him. Hell she'd been around longer than most of the agents.
"Hey, your Abby right?" Liens said, strutting through the door like a confident rooster. He was a larger man, tall too. His hair was blonde and face freshly shaven. Abigail didn't like him, but he was her partner now, nothing was going to change that.
"It's Agent Hays, or just Hays, alright, don't call me Abby," Abigail snapped. She was not going to let this guy call her Abby, not when he had that sneer on his face.
"Whatever, I've been briefed on you, biological manipulation right? Appearances, structure, immune systems all that jazz? Now look, here's the plan, we have our target and…" He trailed off. Abigail was shocked they hadn't told him more about her; he must have just been baggage. She grinned and He looked at her like she was insane.
"What that look for?" Abigail laughed before walking up to him and placing a hand on his shoulder.
"You really should have asked them more questions about what I can do," She told him. Liens face twisted into a wince.
"I can control body functions, actions, neural systems, you name it. Genetic alterations, appearance modifications, healing, hurting, maiming, I can even take your finger off and put it back on if you want. Now here's how this partnership is going to go. You do what I say, when I say it, and don't think about anything else," Abigail said sternly. She'd been at this for ten years, Liens was newer and heck of a lot younger. Abigail tucked a lock of dark hair behind a pale ear, her brown eyes blazing with the adrenaline pumping through her. Using her power felt good, too good.
"Shit, fine just stop whatever your doing!" Liens said hurriedly. Abigail wondered how painful moving a person's spleen was. She removed her hand and the effect stopped. Couldn't blow anything right away now could she, no if she was going ot play this game she'd have to be a heck of a lot more subtly.
"You're only a rookie, when you move on to a new partner things might look better for you, until now you follow me," Abigail said. They had work to do and looked down at the file on the desk.
"Our target's one of the bad guys, we'll be going after them…"
The poor sap whose file that was, Liens thought, was never going to get away from this agent, Abigail Hays was one of the best, and she never failed. No one was going to be getting in her way. Not the Company, not a 'hero' and certainly not Liens. She was almost as bad as the villains.
