The Prodigal Son
@ubivisto
It was dark in the examination cell they had placed him in after his return to the NYC headquarters. It wasn’t a warm welcome...They had called him obsolete, a rogue bio-weapon, but the worst of all?
You’re not worth her time anymore, relic.
Him? A relic? He was a Harbinger, a prototype, yes, but the best of the batch, and the archetype they would all aspire to. And not worth Her time? She was the only light in this dark world, and they would deny Her from him? He soon reminded them that a newer model has its limits when it comes up to a superior breed. Rank and file J’avo were no match for him, and he displayed that effortlessly for all to see. Thankfully, there were no civilians at the time, it was past closing hours for most of the human staff. But in the end, Nikita knew that he would not see Her any sooner if he fought back. He eventually submitted and was placed in a cell. An examination room they called it, but he had seen these rooms before, he had been on the other side of these glass cages...
And so he waited in his new cage...until She finally appeared.
“They said I would never see you again...That I was not worth your time anymore...” He said from the darkness, wondering what his fate would be. “So...are you here to welcome me home, Mistress? Or am I to be disposed of, and you are here to say goodbye for the last time?”
