Affecting the Future
Part 6: Sneak Attack
Before Dr. X hired her, Asazi would have sworn that she was eventually going to die. But once she met with the doctor, her life started improving.
She sat on her motorcycle, the 4 wheels resting on the ground outside the diner. Her emerald green body suit matched the panels on the cycle. She adjusted the scarab headband, then the way her crossbow sat at her waist. With a final adjustment of her cloak, she walked into the diner, sitting exactly four seats away from Alex Mann. She ordered a coffee from the fat redheaded waitress, glancing to the corner just behind the athlete. A blonde haired woman sat there, watching both her, and Alex. A violet X logo peeked out from under the woman's coat. She worked for X.
No doubt an observer.
She turned as Alex sat next to her.
"Is everything all right?" He asked, showing genuine concern.
"Not really, I was just thrown from the back of a speeding motorcycle, and had to walk fifteen miles through the desert. What's a cutie like you doing here?"
"I just had to leave my team, the only family I've ever known."
"Sounds like me. Everyone around me always winds up getting hurt."
The waitress delivers the blue plate special at that moment, with a note tucked half way under the food. Alex pulled out the note, and reads it quickly.
"What's that, a note from the health inspector?"
"Something like that. If you'll excuse me, I'll be right back."
He left hastily, heading for the men's bathroom. She ate one of his fries, then got up and left the dinner, heading right for her motorcycle parked on the side of the diner. It flared to life at her touched, and she droved around to the side of the diner, aiming for the spot that was the outside wall of the men's bathroom. She counted to five, and then fired an exploding arrow at the wall. She was hoping to catch Alex with his pants down, but what she did see irritated her. Simon Gray had been talking to Alex. Both targets spotted, she fired again.
They ducked out of the way, and she drove in, breaking through the far wall. She chased them out the front door, then down the highway in the dark. Her arrows were whizzing past them, pinging off of rocks and exploding. He was driving right at an oil tanker, a gas truck on the road. She aimed, and fired just as he fishtailed out of the way. The tanker blew, and she flew right into the heat. Alex was gone, no doubt, and she would fry.
The rotary blades of a helicopter blew the fires out, allowing her to jump for the rope latter that hung down. The copter climbed out of the heat and smoke, and she saw who was in the pilots seat. The blond from the diner.
"You're mission will inevitably fail, so X sent me to help you try and succeed. Take the controls, and keep attacking."
Asazi took the controls, not saying a word. So, this observing woman was on her side, and sent by X. Good.
Twenty seconds later, Alex and Simon Gray, driving in a silver corvette, appeared. Asazi fired missiles at them, causing a landslide. Alex dodged the falling rocks, as though he knew where they were going to fall. She chased them into a dead end gully, where they disappeared. She circled over the cliff face and back around to see if they would reappear, but they never did.
"Damn. Now what?" Asazi hissed, hovering above the gully.
"Set down above the end of the gully. And then rappel down to the bottom. The door inside is holographic. It doesn't exist. Just walk right in." the woman said, sitting back. "I'll be here waiting."
Asazi set the copter down, and got out. The craft powered down into an idle state. She grabbed some rope from the inside, and set up to rappel down. Her crossbow was slung on her back, fully loaded.
She touched down, and watched as a camera rose from the bush next to her. She passed through the holographic rock wall before who ever was on the other end saw her.
Walking to the lift at the far end of the tunnel was no problem; the walls did not have any mounted defense, and were braced with wood. She set small detonators on the braces, setting the timers to remote explosions. The detonator was on her wristband.
She continued on to the lift, and climbed into a far corner, then started to climb down. She stayed to the shadows, until Simon Grey appeared. She aimed her crossbow at him, and fired. He heard it, and deflected it with the briefcase he was carrying. Lift started going back down.
When it hit the bottom, Grey raced back into the cavern, panting. "You have to get out of here. Asazi is right behind me."
At that time, she walked in, and opened fired at the two men. Alex dived out of the way, and Simon dove for cover.
"What's the matter, lover boy? Afraid of me all ready? Really now, I'm not that bad of a girl, just so poorly miss understood." She fired at the electric generator, and sent the whole facility into flames and sparks. She jumped through the hole in the floor, falling a ways before an underground tram caught her.
Kerro looked back to the Assassin. "Congrats, mission is complete. Now, I'm getting you to the surface, and then you are to report back to Dr. X. Don't worry about Alex and Simon Grey. They are meant to survive. But in the future, Dr. X will try replacing you with a machine that Alex will out smart. But it was meant to replace you. Don't let it. But if you do, then consider joining team Extreme. You seem to like Alex enough already."
"Shut up. Perhaps you didn't read my whole file. Part seductress."
"A seductress can always be tamed. Your future cannot be fully altered, so consider your self a lucky one. The choice you make now will ultimately affect you later in life. I suggest going for the super genius when he is older."
Asazi glared at the girl, slinging her crossbow. She would take life as it came, and not worry about it.
