"We apologize Commander, but we have to do this."

Do what?

"Ahhhh!!!!!!" My neck!! Whoever this is has a tight grip directly on my sensitive spot.

"Hold her still, we have to end this once and for all."

Who are these people that are doing this to me? Where am I? What's going on?!

I can't see anything, I'm literally in the dark...but I can feel people around me. A fisted hand punched directly into my abdomen, I froze from both pain and unbelief.

Whoever hand this is, is literally in my abdomen. It remained still as I tried to gasp for some air. I can hear my heart racing, pumping blood and more blood with each breath I took.

The hand eventually unfisted and began searching within me. "Ahhhhhh!!!" I thrashed my body around, trying to get out of this death rip that the person behind me had on me.

"She's blacking out! Guys, get ready, this'll be really bad for us!"

Slice!

...

I gasped awake and immediately went to touch my abdomen. W-what just happened?

Beeeeeep

The sound of honking cars drew my attention away from myself and to my surroundings. I laid on a pile of garbage bags in an empty alleyway.

A cool breeze whisked the left side of neck, making me wince at the short burst of pain that I felt in that spot. My hand went to touch the left side of my neck and there I felt the spot of where my chip is supposed to be.

My fingers ran over the scar of where The Professor created to input my chip. He put chips all within me after I drew his last straw.

But as I touched more of my neck, I noticed that the chip isn't there. I even internally don't feel it. Wait...

Lifting up my tightly fitted shirt, I looked at my abdomen and didn't feel my other chip either. The Professor had put 3 chips inside me, one in my neck, the other in my spine, and the last one near my liver.

Something happened to me...those voices I heard, did they have anything to do with this?

So then where am I?

Deciding to follow the noise of civilization, I pushed myself up off the pile of garbage and slowly walked out the alleyway.

The bright light coming from the sky nearly blinded me as I approached the street.

Beeeeep

A car honked at me after I nearly walked into the streets. The noise alerted me and I quickly jumped back in my fighting stance.

Passing people gave me disgusted and crazy looks at my alertness and possibly my attire. I did have blood all over my clothes, and I dreadfully needed somewhere to wash up. Hopefully my memories come back as fast as they did last time.

I've lost my memory before, actually many times. I remember The Professor and his team of doctors put me in some sort of electric chair during my secondary phase.

He'd electrocute my brain over and over again, in order to make me forget my past life. I'd yell for him to stop with each time he'd go at it, but as always, he had a deaf ear to pleas from his "patients."

His error of being hasty ruined all of his plans dealing with me. He wanted me to be the greatest solider he's ever designed, so he put me through the most painful experiences in order to "fix" me.

Since he wanted me to be the best in such a short time after I had passed my trail run, he immediately went to putting me on an operating table day in and day out.

He had cut me open and pumped fluids within me. I had no idea what he was doing, but by the end of it, I was miserable.

So I lashed out at any possible chance I could get and each lashing I did resulted to me being punished. His tactics of electrocution worked for a while...until I evolved.

I would loose my memory for about a week then I'd start to remember things. The Professor caught onto this and was amazed by my mutation, but he quickly changed his tactics. He went from electrocution to chips. The chips were very effective, especially during missions.

"Excuse me, ma'am?"

Coming back to reality, I realized that I was staring out into space, making a fool of myself. The old lady beside me smiled kindly at me, "Are you ok?" She asked sweetly.

Am I ok?

She then waved her hand off, not waiting to get an answer out of me, "You know what, come on dear. Follow me." She said. Her heartwarming words lured me to follow suit.

I walked beside her and remained quiet, "Where are you from, dear?" The old lady asked me.

I didn't want to tell her anything about my real identity so I lied. "Nevada."

The old lady laughed, "Wow, you're a long way from home. What are you doing here in Virginia?" She asked me.

Virginia? How did I get to Virginia? My memories need to hurry up and reload, I hate being clueless.

"I traveled by bus."

The old lady stopped in front of a small, green home with two small windows in the front. "Okay, this is where I live. Come on in and get yourself cleaned up, I'll prepare a meal for you." She sweetly said.

Eager to get out of these clothes, I followed her up the three steps and patiently waited for her to unlock the door.

"Please make yourself at home, I haven't had a guest in a really long time." She said, offering me to come in after her.

I came in and took a quick look around, a couple of family and self portraits were hung on her walls, her beige furniture coordinated with her tea green wall, and a small cat rested underneath the coffee table.

"The bathroom is the last door on the left, down the hall. I'll bring you some clothes in a minute."

I nodded and followed her directions to the bathroom. Once inside, I closed the door behind me and began to undress. Then I turned the nob in the tub, and let the water run.

Back in Division 7, all of the units took baths together. Well at least they separated the men and women. It was like prison over there and I hated it.

Units

Wait...my unit. I remember them! Beast was one who had his hand on my neck. Flight was the one who punched me, and Shade warned everyone when...when the professor activated my chips.

Oh god, did I kill them?!

The Professor couldn't have made me kill my Unit. We may have been the weakest Unit in the Division but he still needs them.

What were they thinking to go after me? Why would they do that? Were their efforts to try and kill me?! I thought we were a family, why would they try to kill me?

Knock Knock

I turned around and opened the door without hesitation. "Yes?"

The old lady was already smiling but quickly turned away at my nakedness. "Oh god, I apologize." She quickly said as her cheeks blushed in embarrassment.

I looked down at myself and saw nothing to be ashamed of. I've been naked around people all the time back in Division 7, but I suppose civilization would find that weird.

It feels normal for me to be naked in front of others.

My eyes caught the clothes in the old lady's hands and I immediately took them. Then I closed the door and placed them on the sink. Now, it's time for my shower.
