The device emitted a blinding flash of light, and Luna felt herself being lifted off the ground. She was surrounded by a strange pulsating energy that seemed to be pulling her towards the device.
Agent Thompson's voice was distant but Luna could hear her shouting something. And then, everything went blank.
When Luna came to,she was lying on the floor,her head throbbing with pain. Agent Thompson was kneeling beside her, a look of concern etched on her face.
" Luna,can you hear me ?", Agent Thompson asked,her voice spat.
Luna nodded, trying to sit up . But as she looked around,she realized that something was terribly wrong. The room was in shambles,the equipment smashed and broken . And Agent Jerkins... Agent Jerkins was nowhere to be found.
Luna's eyes widened as she took in the destruction around her . The device had clearly malfunctioned,but what had it done to Agent Jerkins? She stumbled to her feet,her heart beating with fear. Agent Thompson was already searching the room,her gun drawn. " Agent Jerkins! " Agent Thompson shouted,her voice echoing off the walls," can you hear me ?" .
But there was no response. Luna's fear turned to panic as she realized the true intent of the device's power. " What did it do to him? " Luna asked,her voice shaking.
" I don't know" Agent Thompson answered," but we need to get out of here, now" . Luna nodded,but as she turned to follow Agent Thompson, she saw something.
A message was scrawled on the wall,in letters blood : " You're next".
Luna's eyes were fixed on the message,her mind racing with fear . Who could have written this? And how did the get in here? .
Agent Thompson's voice was firm but Luna could hear the hint of concern beneath the surface." Luna, we need to get out of here . Now " ,but Luna couldn't move. She was frozen in placs,her eyes scanning the room for any sign of danger.
Agent Thompson's expression was grim ." We'll get you to a safe house", she said " you'll be protected there".
But Luna wasn't so sure. She had a feeling that she was in grave danger ,and that no place was truly safe.
As they stepped out of the warehouse, Luna was hit with a blast of cold air. She looked up to see a figure standing across the street, watching her. Luna's heart was racing as she stepped off the curb,her eyes fixed on the figure across the street.
Agent Thompson grabbed her arm, holding her back. " Luna ,wait", Agent Thompson said." We don't know who that is".
But Luna shook her off,her determination driving her forward. She strode across the street,her eyes locked on the figure. As she got closer, Luna saw that it was a woman with long, curly hair and white coat. She looked familiar but Luna couldn't quite place her . " Who are you?" Luna demanded.
The woman smiled ,her eyes glinting with amusement." I'm someone who knows about your little problem" . Luna's eyes narrowed," what do you mean ?" She asked. The woman leaned in,her voice dropping to a whisper" I mean the thing that's inside you, Luna . The thing that's making you see things".
Luna's eyes flashed with anger. " What are you talking about?" , She said. " There's nothing in me". The woman smiled again," oh ,Luna, you're so naive. You have no idea what's going on, do you? ". Luna's anger was turning to frustration. " What do you mean?" She asked ,her voice rising.
The woman leaned in closer. " I mean that you're not who you think you are, Luna", she said ," You're not even human". Luna's eyes widened in shock. " What are you doing?" She demanded. But the woman just smiled and turned away disappearing into the crowd. Luna was left standing alone, her mind reeling with questions. What did the woman mean? Was she telling the truth? .
Luna took off after the woman, weaving through the crowded streets. She dodged pedestrians and cars,her eyes fixed on the woman's white coat. As she ran, Luna's mind was racing. What did the woman mean ? Was she telling the truth?. Luna finally caught up to the woman in a narrow alleyway. She grabbed the woman's arm, spinning her around.
" Who are you?" Luna demanded." What did you mean back there?". The woman smiled. " My name is Dr. Samantha Taylor", she said. " And I'm here to tell you the truth about yourself, Luna . You're a product of a secret government experiment, Luna. You're not who you think you are" . Luna's eyes widened in shock.
" What do you mean?" She demanded. " What kind of experiment?" Dr. Taylor hesitated, glancing around the alleyway nervously. " I shouldn't be telling you this," she said. " But I think you have a right to know. You're ... different, Luna, you have abilities that no ordinary human has". Abilities ? What kind of abilities? . " What are you talking about?" She asked,her voice firm. Dr. Taylor took deep breath. " You're a genetically engineered human y, Luna", she said " you were created as part of a secret government program to create super- soldiers" .
Luna felt like she'd been punched in the gut. Generally engineered? Super- soldiers? Luna's eyes narrowed," What do you mean by ' super - soldiers'?" She asked,her voice firm. Dr. Taylor hesitated," The program was designed to create humans with enhanced abilities, she said ." Strength, agility, intelligence..the goal was to create the perfect soldier".
" What kind of abilities?" Luna asked,her voice pressing. Dr. Taylor took a deep breath. " You have accelerated healing , enhanced strength and agility, and advanced cognitive abilities", she said. " You're also highly resistant to disease and injury." Luna felt like she'd been living in a dream world. All these years, she'd thought she was just a normal person ... but it seemed she was anything but .
