I spared him a quick grin before returning to a look of concentration as I blew past another firewall.
"Kinda winging it. One of the homes, The dad was a programmer. Had a really nice system but they pitched me out after they found out id been in it.". There had been a bit more to the kicking out then that but eh. Details.
" alright, I think this is it- huh..." I had unlocked the file and the screen was soon full of text and schematics. I stepped back from the console so I could see the whole thing, one finger raised and zipping across the screen to keep my place as I read.

As I read all the pieces started fitting together, the rumors I'd heard, the information I'd dug up, the way they were treating us, it all made sense. They wanted to turn us into weapons, why I didn't know but that was what they where doing. "Can you believe this? How do they plan on getting away with it?" I asked.

"By hiding us till we're a last resort?". I say quietly, still reading and frowning as I got further and further down the screen. " still, sounds kinda cool...always wanted to be more then a brat, you know what I mean? I was thinking odst some day if I got lucky but this is...this is huge,"

"I suppose you're right." I said while trying to figure out how I felt about this. It would give me the ability to protect people but the way they were doing it was wrong. I guess it was one of those lesser of two evils type of thing. "anyway we need to get back before they notice us missing" I said and was immediately answered by one of the soldiers saying "It's a little late for that!"

I was about to agree when the sound of a new voice startled me. Wow that hadnt taken them nearly as long as I had hoped.
"Well that was bound to happen," I say with a wince, quickly exiting out of the window I had opened and shutting down the program I had used to get through the firewalls. Then I turned around sharply to look from my partner in crime to the door and back

What happened next I'm not sure but judging by the headache I woke up was we put up a flight, not because we didn't want to go with them but on general principle. As time past we learned to function properly as a team and became a force to be reckoned with. Not long after we made it through the augmentation process, which one of our team didn't, we were called to the armory.

I hated it when they did this, woke us up in the middle of the night just to do a drill we could have done in our sleep. "what do you think it will be this time Robbie? Ten mile run or live fire exercise? I asked as I pulled my boots on.

Stifling a yawn with my shoulder I slipped on my boots alongside him, shrugging.
"Hoping for live fire, but my money is on a run.". I say when I've straightened up, tugging on a shirt and looking around to see the others already filing out at a hustle. By nkwi was wide awake. One plus side if years of midnight drills, you learned to wake up fast. " come on, don't want to keep them waiting". I say to Brine, nudging him with my foot before jogging after the other kids our age.

As expected It was a 20k run. They weren't as bad as they used to be, the augmentations they made to our bodies were awesome, it hurt like hell but we were faster, stronger and tougher than anyone!

Lost in my thoughts I was the last one to get in line and that meant I had earned the drill instructors "special" attention. "Get the lead out of your ass fuckface, Now!" he barked as I bring up the rear.
