Chapter Five- Not An Andriod

Turanna's Pov

Crystal blue water clogged my respiratory system as soon was we took our fall from the twelve story building. Free falling was not only painful to the body but it was also painful to the lungs and eyes as gravity played it's part.

All I could do was reach for nothing as above me were my teammates swimming for their dare life as the water pushed them back and forth. I was never a swimmer because my childhood fear of water due to the horffic nightmares of drowning in dark waters.

Ironically, my dream was on the verge of manifestation.

"Turanna! I can't spot Turanna anywhere! " I heard Sushana yelled in panic and I only blink in silence wishing I could even as much as utter a word. I saw bubbles when my mouth opened, my fingers caressing water as my body moved according to the pressure of the water.

A figure swam towards me in no time but by the time the figure approached every thing around me went black.

I woke up in a nice warm bed by the sound of a low beeping sound and chatter. I blinked rapidly, trying to adjust my eyes to the bright lighting and seeing that I was awake Sushana chirped. So I had survived the cruel waters. I was a bit stunned because as mentioned before I could not swim even if my life depended on it and my life depended on it moments ago.

I covered my ears at a sudden sound. That horrific sound coming from Sushana's lips.

"Guys she's up" she stated with a wide smile and I arched a brow, since when did she become so fond of me? In fact when I just got here she was ready to bite my head off over a broken nose that she obtained during self defense.

"I thought you two hated each others guts" my commander remarked as he along with Sushana and Rox approached my bed.

"Let me rephrase that" I begun as I turned to face Sushana before continuing.

"I thought you saw me as a worthless addition to this team" I stated and immediately three pairs of eyes settled on the blonde. They agreed to my question because of the bitter history we developed the moment I joined the team.

"I did not say that " she remarked but when we squint our eyes all together she shifted her eyes nervously. This cat had herb tongue slammed in the door.

"She is actually not bad as she seemed before, in fact she's almost as much of the bad ass I am" she stated and I arched a brow with a smirk. Flattery and insult molded together, was this woman special or what?

"Almost? " I asked and laughter filled the room. Rox's laughter that is as my commander never laughed, he only stared at us with a crossed arm. Not even as much as smile.

That was about to change.

It took me about a week to recover from the gunshot wound due to the great medics and medical supply the phantom 7 organization owned. What I would never publicly announce is my quick healing ability due to the fact that I was immortal. In no time I was on my feet again for good so I paid a visit to the spot my commander would always be at nights.

There was a lot about him I didn't know and intended to find out.

While Rox and Sushana provided more than enough personal information, he on the other hand refused to give anything away. It was as though he was an Android but deep down we both knew he was no greater than a human being.

"Why are you here? " his back was still to me as he stared at the body of water before him, his hand gently resting on the glass before him.

"I thought I'd keep you company sir" I chirped and in no time I was standing next to him, my eyes fixed on his strict face. For someone who was strictly uptight he was very good looking in my eyes.

He didn't look my way.

"When I require something Miss Madison I ask for it" he stated dryly and if I had shame I would have taken my leave already. However I had no shame so my a** would remain right here next to the man who rejected my company.

"What are you? An Android? " I asked as he took a seat on the floor and began reloading his gun. I sat.

"If that is what you see me as I have no problem with that Miss Madison. It is an excellent comparison." stated the Android and I rolled my eyes.

"Don't you have a family who misses you? What do they think of you now that you left them behind...left them behind for this? " I asked and for the first time since I got here he turned and held eye contact with me.

I froze, his blue eyes were beautiful. A piercing shard of glass that had my heart beating as though I was a deer caught in headlights.

My lips dried and I swallowed as I tried to look elsewhere but my eyes kept flickering to my commander who held a heating stare.

"They don't have to think. They are dead" he state as he still maintain the eye contact and my heart shattered.

"Sir I didn't mean to inquire I was just curious. How selfish of me to ask that. I am really sorry. I am so stupid " I cursed myself as I felt my eyes filled with water, but before I could stand he held my arm.

"It is fine. I lost them from I was four years old" he told me and I kept silent, regardless of what he said the guilt I felt would not subside.

"It was a fire that killed them, I was almost killed but the fire men came just in time, since then I have never had a family. I had foster parents " he stated and I still remained silent.

What could I say anyways...

"And your family? " he continued as he load his gun.

"I haven't seen them for years" I mumbled, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand.

"Look the agency does not stop you from -"

"Even if I wanted to see them I couldn't. Forget it. I'm fine trust me" I told him and he didn't press the issue.

"And your lover? " he asked and I choked on air.

"My what? Sir have you lost your mind? " I asked as I coughed like a dying window.

"I am mentally stable miss Madison" he remarked.

"Doesn't seem like it to me. I'm pretty sure you told me dating is not permitted "I state as he placed the gun back in place on his hip, turning to face me.

"Within the team. Some agents here are married you know" he stated and before I could stop it the words flew out my mouth.

"Are you?" I asked.

He grimace eyeing me up and down.

"I am mentally stable Miss Madison" he stated and I chucked.

"I figured that much, you don't smile or laugh why the heck would you get married. " I remarked.

"It is a liability " he state and I stared at him blankly.

"You must be really sexually frustrated then. Good night my dear colander, may the lord help you to realize you brain is a liability " I stated as I stood and walked of but when I heard him chuckle I froze, spinning around to see him smiling at me.

"Good night to you as well Turanna" he state and I fell head rush to my cheeks. May he was not an Android.
