Hero’s
The coffee shop, felt particularly busy today, I felt as though I was being watched, and maybe I was. There was just something about the warm smell of espresso, that brought me so much comfort on my worst days, and this was definitely one of those days. I leaned across the table as I whispered to Miles “I know I haven’t been seeing her long, but I had to tell her. I wanted her hear it from me. It’s not like I told her I had a twin! Why do care so much?.” Miles scoffed as continued to lecture me, “It’s not safe Athena, why don’t you get that? what if she tells someone! Stop acting like a dumb teenager in love. You don’t even know this girl!” It was true, It had only been 2 months with her, but already I couldn’t imagine a life with out her by my side. It wasn’t fair, I never asked to be the hero of this city, I just wanted to be normal. Miles and I were twins, part of a cloning project gone wrong. The Society, was an underground research foundation hidden from the government. A group of scientists formed The Society with the goal of finding a cure for cancer. The scientists believed that the government was keeping the cure from the world, in able to pocket the money donated to fund cancer research. What started as a small research project soon grew into the courupt bio hacking society it is today. Miles and I were each gifted with powers, unnatural to the general population. Miles was fast and boasted strength you couldn’t find in a gym. I had the ability to regenerate and move things with my mind. I was done being a science project, Liv made me feel a high I had been chasing my whole life - a high I wanted more of. “I have to go Miles, thanks for the coffee.”
