The Perfect Weapon

Vega Enterprises…The top floor office towered over the Rochester, New York skyline. Billionaire Alister Vega's corporate office was a high-tech haven of wealth and opulence. The entire top floor of Vega Enterprises was an idol worship of Alister's own vast achievements and his overblown ego. Outside the building stood a statue of his own likeness, proving he relished in his own glory, in full view from the sky-high window panorama.The office skyrise gave off a cold and strict business appearance. Standing out from the office's stark white, black, and silver contemporary decor, stood a portrait of the only thing in Allister's life that he lov

Late in the evening, Monroe was watching Willow from the observation deck over the military training area. Her father came up next to her patting his oldest daughter on the back while straightening his suit, looking pleased with what he was witnessing."She is a fighter. Getting stronger each day. Her years of multiple types of combat training is paying off. You are doing wonderful with her, Monroe.”"It's just a matter of time, Dad. I can't wait to unleash her. I have an idea that Shane and I are working on. She has too many happy memories. Her parents were shit, but she somehow made a happy life of her own. Too sweet and innocent if you ask me. It's like she's too perfect and it makes me sick. I try to get her to do more adult things but that damn Mick keeps butting in. We need a fresh slate. I will mold her to be a ruthless military machine while only answering to us. Then we rule the world. You will be king, and me at your right hand, as a fu

"Where is Willow? Shane, get her next test set up and ready to go. Why is she late? That girl better not be playing with those damn paper butterflies again. She's wasting her talents on silly childish games.”Alister paced the floor impatiently waiting for her to get to the training area.Monroe ran in in a panic. "DAD! SHE'S GONE! Willow Escaped! We have to find her!”Shane looked at her like she was crazy."What? How? I just saw her last night. I gave her treatment, and she went to bed after she ate. Amy, the maid, took her food and Craig checked on her around eleven.”

Willow reached the US and Canada border soon after her escape. She had ditched Shane's car outside of Rochester after finding the money Mick and stowed away for her. Her matter manipulation powers didn't last long while driving. She was extremely exhausted from a full day of training than running away in the middle of the night. A half-hour was all she could drive the car. On top of the many close calls with other cars, it was too much for her emotionally. She had an eidetic memory and had at least read the driver's manual to know the basics. It just wasn't enough to prepare an inexperienced driver.After ditching the car, in the early morning hours, Willow hitched a ride to Niagara falls with a nice family. Standing at the top of falls she was in awe of the beauty of it. She looked around at the crowds of people from all over the world, smiling and laughing with their

Willow was walking the streets of Kansas City watching as people flooded the streets of downtown. After she had found a cheap hotel room, she took the time to look around. Willow was curious about the outside world, as expected. What she was seeing was nothing like the things they showed her at Vega. People seemed happy, and the world looked to be no different that she saw in most movies Mick showed her.It was getting late, and the Friday night crowd was hitting the clubs. She noticed a group of strange people dressed in boldly colored clothes coming toward her. She became fascinated with the colorful group of club kids heading into a bar where a nineties flashback night was in full swing. Raver kids were everywhere. Their bright colored hair and unique clothing were mesmerizing to someone who
