CHAPTER 20:
NEW RECRUITS
A loud noise caused Danielle to wake up. She hated being abruptly forced to wake up, and yet she found herself always waking up this way lately. If it wasn’t for her training, it was from Prism. That damn hologram had it in for her and she knew it. Deep down, she felt Prism had never truly accepted the new leaf she had turned over to be a hero. Honestly, she didn’t know if she had either.
Danielle loved Hunter. More than she had ever loved anything else, but deciding to be a hero a year ago with him was more so his idea and not hers. She had always considered it, but also always found a reason to not go through with it. Even if she hadn’t done anything villainous at the time, she always knew that deep down, she eventually would.
Now, she walked the straight and narrow. A life of boredom and mediocrity. A life where she at best could hope for her own line of merchandise, maybe even a cartoon. She would never be infamous. People wouldn’t shake at the mention of her name, and the only people that would fear her would be villains. People she related to all too well.
As she sat up in bed, she felt herself getting frustrated. Funny how a single loud noise caused her to spiral down the path of thinking about her recent life decisions. Clearly, they were weighing on her more than she thought. “Did you hear that, boo?” She said as she looked to where Hunter slept.
Or, where he was supposed to be sleeping. His spot on the bed was empty, though. She frowned as she rubbed her neck and then looked around the tiny room they shared. The door was still closed, but they hadn’t been there long. She ran the recent events through her mind.
Cayden showed them the room. Hunter asked him some questions. Cayden left. Then she ate a candy bar while Hunter started talking about how things didn’t add up. She told him to relax, and he sat down on the bed. One thing led to another and twenty minutes later they were both breathing heavily, and tired. Naturally, they fell asleep. “So where in Atlas did you go?” she said to herself as she jumped from the bed.
She tossed her clothes on and then opened the door. They couldn’t have been sleeping that long. There were no windows around so it was hard to tell, but it still had to be early. Didn’t it? Once in the hallway, she found her first decision to make. “Which way, which way?” Danielle said as turned and looked down both sides of the hall, and then to the third hall directly across from her.
She realized this place was damn near a maze when they didn’t have a person leading them. “Who the hell makes a base this complicated to navigate around?” she said to herself. Then suddenly, she thought about it. What if Hunter didn’t
