Thanks to everyone who reviewed my last chapter. I'm just glad y'all liked the tangent I've gone off on.
I woke to find myself in a strange bedroom. I was lying in an old-fashioned bed and I was covered by a soft blue blanket. What was the strangest thing was the fact that sitting in a chair beside the bed, her head lying on my stomach, was the girl I had seen in White's compound.
As I watched, barely daring to breathe, she sleepily opened her impossibly green eyes. She smiled at me for a second before she seemed to come fully awake. She bolted straight up in her chair, blushing like crazy. I swear it was the sexiest picture I'd ever seen; her blushing like a kid, but with sexily mussed hair and adorably sleepy emerald eyes.
"Morning sleepy head." She said with another heart-stopping smile.
"How long have I been out?" I asked, slowly sitting up. She noticed I was having trouble so she helped me into a comfortable sitting position with a surprising strength.
"Three days 511." My surprise must've shown on my face because she flushed again. "I read your barcode, sorry."
"I'm surprised you're not running and screaming." I looked at her, searching her face, trying to figure out what she was thinking.
She smiled in amusement. "Because you're a transgenic?" I nodded and she laughed out loud, startling me. "511, so you're just pretty on the outside but nothing inside your empty little head but fluff?" I looked at her blankly. "I'm a transgenic too, dummy."
I swear my face was on fire. "Oh." I grinned sheepishly. "My name's Biggs by the way. What's yours?"
"Charlie." She smiled again. "My name is Charlie."
End Biggs' POV
Alec shot his friend a stunned look. "She was a transgenic? How did she get you out of White's hands? How…"
Biggs laughed at his friend's peppering of questions. He held up his hands. "I'm getting to that, hold on."
Biggs' POV
"What base were you at?" I asked her, trying to keep my eyes at hers and not let my gaze drift lower…to where more mouthwatering curves lurked.
"I wasn't at any base." I looked at her expectantly. Not at a base? She brushed a lock of her hair back that was threatening to get stuck to her bottom lip. "I was on a special detail." She looked away nervously, smoothing out the faded blue blanket that was over me.
I reached over to her placing my fingers under her chin. At my touch she looked up at me. "Charlie." I said quietly, trying not to scare her off. "What's wrong?"
"I…" She choked, her eyes filled with tears. "My designation is P-622."
I swear my jaw hit the floor. I just stared at her in shock. She searched my eyes silently for a second as if begging me to say something. When I didn't she ran from the room, tears streaming down her face.
end Biggs' POV
"She admitted something that huge and you just stared at her?" Alec said with a shake of his head as he plopped down on the couch. "Stupid move bro."
"Oh yeah Alec? Since when have you understood female emotions?" Biggs asked petulantly. "Anywa, wouldn't you have been shocked to find that some gorgeous girl you just met used to torture people for a living?"
"Well, to answer your first question; I've always known the way of the female heart." Biggs shot him a look. "Okay so the wife gave me a few tips. Anyway, to answer your second question I've met a psy-ops soldier. She lives here in Terminal City. We realized long ago that psy-ops soldiers were just slaves like the rest of us."
Biggs nodded sadly. "Yeah, I figured that out for myself as soon as she left the room."
Biggs' POV
I gulped when an hour after Charlie left in tears, a ferocious-looking huge guy stalked into the room. This guy was taller and more heavily built than any combat model I'd ever seen, must've been designed for some important purpose where he'd need to be intimidating. He gave me a glare that would've scared even Alec.
("I wouldn't have been…")
("Shut up Alec, let me tell my story.")
"How dare you!" He growled at me. He must have pit bull in his DNA. "She saves your scrawny ass and you turn on her like that?"
"I…I didn't mean to…" I stammered, I knew that in my weakened condition I was in no shape to take him on. "I just didn't know what to say…"
"If I had been up to me we would've left you there for White, but Charlie told me that if we transgenics don't stand together, White'll win." He stalked towards me clearly bent on a little physical punishment. But out of nowhere Charlie blurred into the room and stepped in front of him.
"Mace, relax." She laid one hand on his chest, holding him back. "I can handle my own problems."
Mace shot me a glare. Then he sighed as he looked down at Charlie. Even though she was tall for a female, around 5'9" or 5'10", he towered over her by at least six inches. "Fine. But little sister, if he gives you any more problems…" he let his voice trail off threateningly.
Charlie flashed Mace one of her blinding smiles, then gave him a kiss on his cheek. "You may have been assigned to protect me, but I think I can handle on partially-paralyzed transgenic."
The giant nodded reluctantly, send me another killer glare and proceeded to stalk out of the room.
"Charlie…" I stuttered. So much for my legendary charm I know.
("Legendary?")
("Shut up Alec, this is my story.")
"I'm sorry Charlie." I finally managed to get out. "I didn't mean to…"
She sat on the edge of the bed and smiled with embarrassment. "I overacted, I swear I'm not usually so emotional. I'm just…sensitive about…that."
"No, I was just being stupid." I shook my head at her blaming herself. "Manticore screwed us all over."
I kept saying this was the final bit of Biggs' story, but it has run away with me. I swear I'll try to tie up his adventures outside Terminal City in the next chapter. I just really wanted Biggs' to have some air time.
