VENGEANCE BECOMES HER ! it boils within her blood, rages atop her bones as calcified nodules of element zero, as the acid of a mythological creature drip, drip, dripping ! into her pried - open mouth ! she remembers vividly the long, glinting needles of syringes stained with all of the colors of their twisted interests ----- cerberus, an organization supposedly devoted to the ‘ preservation of humanity ‘ . . . at humanity’s cost. they killed her brother ! they killed . . . all of them ! the screams ! still ring in her ears, and that creature’s roar ! still raises the hair atop her arms, along the nape of her neck.
SHE HUNTS THEM DOWN ! one by one, singular polonium rounds through the temples of men with the audacity to beg her for their lives ! ( she can only pray that she has not been too merciful, that the bastards died feeling even a fraction of what she was made to endure for six years. ) now, there’s only one left, and he cowers beside her ! it seizes beneath her breast, coils within the pit of her stomach ----- the finality of it. years of mourning, and of missing, will all have been worth it for this . . . until she becomes aware of a commotion beyond the doors of the room that she’s barricaded them into. ( so much for mercenaries. ) she erects a barrier ‘round herself, a stasis field ‘round her prey, and aims her pistol toward the seam of the doors. ( it shouldn’t have mattered who came through, but it was never supposed to be him. )
