Turanna POV
This was our first mission. Well correction, my first mission since the four months I have been at this place. The place that grew to be a cell the moment ny current 'Captain' chose to kidnap me. The fellow was truly weird, why not post a add as opposed to hunting your employees?
I was nervous about this but I dud what my Captain did best and mask my emotion of fear. It was the small bit of fresh air I needed after being indoors for such a long period of time. While the headquarters was fantastic I missed the outside greatly. I missed what living among regular people felt like because while we failed to realize it, socialization was needed.
Ever since I 'joined' the team it felt as though someone locked me in a box and threw away the key. I adjusted however and gradually I was beginning to like the feeling of being apart of something this huge. We were saving innocents who were unable to save them self from the many things that went beyond humanity.
It was a scare and a honour at the same time. It was horrific that human's could create such a threat but it was a great honour for me to help what the innocent could not tackle. It made me wonder what Thomas saw within me in order to place me on such a powerful team.
To say this was not cool would be a lie, a sin moreover. This was beyond awesome!!!
I looked to Rox and Sushana who, if I didn't know better were having tension at the moment. Was it me or there seem to be something more between the two?
Hmmm. I wonder? Their body language always seem to demonstrate the romance they shared. There was the look of apology in Rox's eyes and there was a frown on the blond's face. I looked away from the two the moment Rox shift in his seat.
I leaned closer to the Captain who eyed me with suspicion or as though I had leprosy. I returned the very same loving stare. I was growing to hate this man day by day.
"Are those two dating?" I asked as low as possible and the Captain eyed me as though I was speaking gibberish.
Gesh, I was just asking a question you arrogant man. It was just a mare observation, I could be wrong and I had no fear in being wrong. I may never know unless I ask.
"Dating within the team is not permitted " he stated dryly, his face pained to even mention the word.
Well which planet did he fall from?
"Oh..." Then it hit me like a rock.
Not permitted? What the hell?
"What?! You mean if I see a cute guy around the head quarter I can't bang him?" I asked and he made a face. Pardon my blunt diction Sir Carter but I had to get the question out there.
"I assure you Ms Madison no nobody will be 'banging' anyone. Relationships with teammates are liabilities. I hate liabilities" he remarked. I blinked the moment that truth was revealed, my eyes burning slightly.
I scoffed. So what the hell was I to do, turn a celibate? Sure I could seek a relationship elsewhere but truly I would not have the time to create that relationship.
All my time would be spent here so it would be fair for me to spark a relationship here. Did my Captain truly aim for me to turn a celibate?
Well that was what it looked like as we had no access to the outside world thus making life at the headquarters our only lives. What a total rip off, if I paid for this I would have liked my money back. Hell, I would be over the counter throwing fists at the manager, it was likely that manager would be Thomas Carter.
I scoffed and Carter looked at me.
"Is there a problem?" I was asked and I stared right at him.
"Of course there is a problem. Actually there is more than one problem" I told him and he relaxed.
"Care to highlight the problems" he suggested and my teeth clashed.
******
"We are here. This building has two main entrance; the under ground entrance and the regular entrance. Turanna and I will take the the underground entrance. Duncan, Myers you know what to do" he stated and the two nod.
Turning his gaze to me he gave me a small nod before exiting the car and I followed soon after.
"This place gives me the creeps" I remarked eyeing the brick walls as though it was a person. The cob webs was more than enough to have me piss my pants.
Look forward to hell and we were having this trip first class.
"Miss Madison there is no such thing as the creeps. Please bare in mind we have a toxic release we have to prevent" he remarked and I nodded. What an arrogant son of a-
"Aye, aye Captain" I remarked and maybe it was a trick of the lights because I thought I saw an eye roll.
Yes a trick of the light indeed.
Silence took over by the minute, our steps cautious but speedy. Well his steps were as I was barely pushing alongside the Android.
Well that was what he was in my opinion anyway. There was nothing besides his looks that made him appear human.
"Stop. Please. Must. Rest" I pant as I held onto my knees, breathing like an over worked horse. My dear sir merely glanced at me, annoyance written on his face in bold.
"Turanna-" I finished for him.
"Is a human being" I hissed as I gasp for air. It was only minutes of walking and it felt like hours.
"You are wasting time"he growled and I took deep breaths. I had officially signed up for hell huh? It would be rather kind of him to drop me off where he had kidnapped me. My previous job was far better than this one.
