The Never-Never

*

Prelude: Ry

*

I was born in a place I know not the name of. I do not wish to know. It is as a philosopher once said: Ignorance is bliss.

They would not permit me that luxury.

I was told at the time of my birth - if it could be called that - that I was a genetic duplicate of a young woman, a runaway, named Rosalie Rowan.

They named me Ry. They gave me clothing. A white t-shirt, a pair of black jeans, some tennis shoes.

And they gave me a sister.

She was a copy as well, a copy of a NSA agent named China Lee.

They gave her the name of Diabla.

Diabla: a feminine noun in the Spanish language meaning devil, derived from the masculine noun 'diablo.'

I hated her and she hated me.

We were sent to work with the NSA strike force determined to capture Zeta and Rosalie Rowan. Diabla met Lee and West.

Me? I met a child, a boy of twelve years called Bucky.

And I met Rosalie Rowan and Zeta.

There was one thing my creators should never have given me.

Individuality.

I am not a clone.

I am Ry.
