Helicopters flew over the New York skyline, the city below had already gone to hell. Danny black looked up at them filled curiosity.
As he walked the streets, masses of people crowded round, packed tighter then sardines. Screaming and shouting could be heard, people where bargaining to get out of the city.
He was pushed to the bridge by one of these hoards of people, he was pushed towards a group, a group of four... tall people he noted. The sea like crowd carried him closer to them all.
One of them had a scanner, taking blood pressures of them, temperatures. Waving people through, allowing them to cross the bridge. As if it couldn't get any worse a young woman started bonding towards the group.
Danny was pushed closer.
He could make out the leader of the group in charge. Female... a really tall female... pencil thin dreadlocks lined her face. As well as a long scar, on the left hand side of her face, starting at the outer edge of her eyebrow, he couldn't see where it finished.
But he got lost in her eyes, every now and then they pulsed from dark blue to plasma blue, leaving him wondering if he really saw it or if it was his imagination.
A woman starting running up, her flesh melting away from her bones, her mouth was stretched unnaturally wide, a silent scream emanating. The dreadlocked woman, in one swift motion pulled a pistol out and shot her.
Danny freaked out, backing away from the group. The tall woman put a finger on her ear and spoke quietly to someone. Blood had spattered on the crowd, on the people who where crossing the bridge. The tall woman then nodded at her team, the group of people left.
The squad arrived at a cryogenics lab on the outskirts of New York. The tallest one, ducked through the door to the base. A Texan drawl rang out, "oi! Reaper! How long we gonna be here for?" The one with dreadlocks shrugged "no idea Boom, just get in the tube." The squad nodded.
Reaper laid back in the cryo tube, watching it seal around her, before she entered a chemically induced sleep.
