Fire and water
IN the year 2010, two supposedly random teenagers were chosen for an experiment under the pretext of finding a way of combining humans and technology but in reality they were creating assassins.
I am Alec and this is my story.
As I started to come to I heard echoes of speech, the last one I heard clearly. "Beginning final project phoenix tests" before I was bombarded with pain. 'HOSTILES' my instincts screamed, taking over. I burst from the tube that I had been trapped in taking out the scientists in the room in a matter of seconds. I looked down at my body. There was metal plates covering it that I knew shouldn't be there. They had done something to me. Faintly through my rage I heard the sound of bullets hitting metal. I headed to the circular door at the centre of one of the walls and ripped it clean off and headed briskly but silently to the noise. I arrived in time to see a figure disappear in a flash of blue light. 'Where is it' my assassin instincts then brought my advanced sight online and with it, x-ray vision with which I quickly found the figure again on the floor above. I gathered my strength and braced myself and leaped up and through the ceiling and landed at gunpoint. The figure looked decidedly feminine with similar armour except in place of a right lower arm there was big bulk with a barrel poking out of the end, which she had pointed at me. When she got a good look at me she slowly lowered her weapon. Just then, a siren started and we heard footsteps moving towards us fast. She teleported away and I jumped from the window to the roof where she was waiting. "We need to get away from here" I shouted over the siren and looked for a safe spot for us to hide in. before I could finish, the door to the roof flew open and guards ran out with tasers ready.
