Maggie Grace.
Genius. Unprecedented. Unstoppable.
She excels at everything she does.
She is currently working for an underground secret organization called "Developmental Research and Assassination Bureau".
Ever since she was a child, reading books is her passion. She used to spend her break time on the library, just merely browsing all the references there. Because of her hardworks, she graduated as the class valedictorian, both primary and secondary education, and was once recognized as the best student in Burlington University during her college times. Some people might be thinking she's just a nerd doing some academic responsibilities, never even manage to socialize with the others. Oh, they're all underestimating her capabilities.
In spite of being an erudite, she also excels at different extra curricular activities like sports, particularly in volleyball. She was also handling a karate club in her university before. This is probably the main reason why no one ever dared to bully her, she'll break their bones and skulls if they do so.
Moreover, Maggie have very few friends because she find it hard to trust people nowadays. She believed that "Anyone can be your friend but true friends are rare and exceptional". She doesn't need unecessary people in her life, it's a cruel world after all. Some will only treat you better when they need you, the next day you'll find yourself worthless, and they're all gone.
The scariest thing in the world is that, you will never know the true intentions of the people you met towards you. Even the most intelligent people can't.
And we have to be careful on choosing someone that would enter our lives.
Talking about her life as an assassin, well how did she become part of DRAB in the first place?

*Flashback*
(Maggie's POV)
I kept on looking from left to right, waiting for our next subject teacher. It was 9:10 am and still, no one had got in to discuss some lessons. Everyone is wasting their time as usual, either chatting with their seatmates or playing video games on their gadgets. I'm getting bored now so I just took out my phone and started scrutinizing for some online books. After some time, my heart picked up a fast beat upon hearing a powerful banging from the outside. It was so loud that everyone begun to panic. I heard shouts and screams all around the classroom. That's when I stood up quickly as I reached out for the nearest window on my right side, only to see a man standing on the huge campus quadrangle, holding on what appears to be a bazooka. Behind him were several men, of course, equipped with tons of heavy firearms. The man then pointed his loaded bazooka at the main office and yelled.
"We're going to pulverized this school!!"
Oh crap, he is crazy as hell. Everyone begun running for their lives, but not me. I headed towards the karate club room located behind the school cafeteria, and it's a bit far from the school quadrangle so I guess it would take time for them to reach my location. As soon as I arrived, I headed for the club's collection of melee weapons. At first, I really don't know how to open the locked cabinet but then I decided to get a chair and break the center panel since it's made up of glasses. I just hope I won't get paid for this. I took out the katana sword and put some short knives on my pocket. I should double my efforts since they're using huge guns.
After my quick preparation, I sneaked towards the school garden, which I think, is the accurate place for a hand to hand combat. It was covered with tall trees and bushes extending from side to side of the area. I lowered my body and hid myself behind the plants. Few gunshots were heard on a distance. The moment I saw few attackers entering the garden, I took out a knife from my pocket and just waited for a perfect timing. There were four of them, but neither of them seemed to notice my presence.
I guess it's the right moment now.
I quickly threw the knife on one of them and sprinted with the katana on my right hand. I slided my feet and dashed when they started shooting me, pushing myself towards the guy near the entrance. I hastily rose and slashed him with the sword. Then I jumped on the wooden table, did a vertical tumbling and threw another knife that slained another attacker. The last one ceased fire, taking out a magazine from his pocket. Well, I will not let you live for so long. I ran towards him and swung my katana upwards, but he was able to evade my attack and grabbed my right arm. I dropped the sword and punch his face twice using my left hand. Then I rapidly moved in a counterclockwise direction and released a powerful kick from my left foot. His body was thrown, hitting a tree trunk that caused him to release a heavy growl of pain.
I was about to give him a final blow but I was stopped by an immense explosion not so far from me. A wave of nervousness circled along my stomach as I hurriedly picked two handguns on the floor and ran straight through the corridor near the garden. I could see a girl incredibly knocking out those attackers, twisting and dashing around. But what had shocked me is that after she defeated all of them, something took shape from her back and started flying like a fairy. She fled away. I went towards the beated guys, still with amazement on my face. What is she? With that unbelievable strength and speed, I can say she's not an ordinary human being.
Another explosion was heared just few steps away from me, and so without any hesitation I went on where it was coming.
The campus quadrangle.
I saw her again, but this time, she's not fighting or beating these bad guys. She was just laying on the ground, motionless. The guy standing beside her shooted her body with some sort of a taser-like weapon that paralized her. I should save her. They're going to suffer the consequences of their actions.
I stealthily moved backwards and checked my bullets. 10 each magazine. I glanced upon the quadrangle and was about to dash quickly but someone pulled me behind a car. I raised my right hand, ready to aim but he grabbed my gun. Of course, my other hand was then ready to pull the trigger of another gun but this person really do have quick reflexes. He grasped me from my shoulder, turning my whole body as he pulled me and rested his arms around me. He was back hugging me. I can feel his head slowly move below my ear and whispered.
"Don't shoot, I'm here to help."
My eyes wide opened and my body was unmoving. He was wearing an all black outfit from head to toe. I think this stranger is really trying to help since he didn't take that opportunity to shoot me nor attack me. But the problem is that, I can barely recognized who is he since he's wearing a neoprene face mask. My mind is telling me not to trust him but my body protested to stay. He gave me back my gun and sighed.
"I need you to support me" he said.
"Wha-what the hell is happening?" I hesitantly asked.
He took a sphere-like object and an extra neoprene mask from his pocket before handing them to me.
"Later for the explantion, put this thing on. It's a specialized mask that would help you to breath later" He instructed. "That round thing is a smoke bomb. Just click the button on the middle part and throw it upon them the moment I give you a signal okay?"
I don't know how to respond so I just gave him a nod of approval.
"And one more thing, wear this glasses" He commanded as he offered me an eyeglasses. I gave him a look of 'What the hell are you talking about? I'm already wearing one', while raising my eyebrows. I can hear his quiet laughter as he glances at me.
"Just wear and see it for yourself" he said.
Without a word, I responded by removing my eyeglasses and replacing with the one he lent me. And this thing really suprised me. The transparent lenses eventually turned into a dark shade, but still allowing me to see my surroundings. Suddenly, a red beam of light flashes through the lens and I can clearly see all the people behind the walls, bushes and everything. It's like an x-ray vision, but it's not like that. I can't even explain it. The features. It's capabilities. It's so bizzare. I spun my head around so fast that I almost fell over. The guy beside my helped me get back my posture with his hand on my shoulder.
"Take it easy" He laughed softly. "We're going to rescue my companion now"
Wait, does that girl who went flying around is his friend? Well, I'm astounded.
"You can call me August, You?"
"I'm Maggie, Maggie Grace" I looked directly at his eyes and I can tell he was smilling.
"Are you ready?" He asked.
I smirked and fixed my posture. "Hell yeah"
"Rock and roll!" He shouted.
I threw the smoke bomb towards the school quadrangle just after I pressed the button. The moment it dropped on the ground, it released a thick, dark blue gas wildly along the place. The bad guys then pointed their towards our direction. August pulled me back and wave his hand above his watch. Some sort of electromagnetic force field comes into view. They started shooting us but wow, all bullets are being deflected. The blue gas finally covered the whole area and that's the time they stopped firing. I can see them with the use of my new eyeglasses. They eventually split ways, trying to escape and make their way out. But the girl who was resting on the ground slowly rose, her hands were transforming to some kind of a melee weapon.
"That friend of yours" August took a glance at me as I spoke "Is she a human?"
"Well, she's a robot" He answered.
I'm amazed. I've heard a lot of news about experiments and tests regarding some artificial beings designed to resemble humans. Unfortunately, none of them were successful. But as far as this girl is concerned, she's a perfect model.
The girl quickly dashes forward, supported by a device on her back. She went flying and sprinting and slaying every single enemy she saw. Ruthless. Flawless. Emotionless.
I stood up and readied my posture. I hastily ran through the school quadrangle and reached for the main gate. As I'm expecting, some of them are guarding it. I caught them off guard and successfully shooted those who were covering the gate while sprinting around the area.
A special helicopter surprisingly appeared above us.
"November!" August yeld and wave his hands. The girl quickly flew towards the helicopter and her hands suddenly transformed into some kind of a weapon I couldn't explain. The helicopter launches two missiles towards the school as the girl successfully shooted those with her gun-like hands, exploding before dropping on the ground. But the debris hit her and she was thrown aways from the helicopter.
Trying to help, I took the bazooka I saw on the ground. August quickly seized hold of it and signalled a 'no' sign to me.
He was probably telling me not to let the helicopter blow up, for it may shatter on the school and that is more likely to be devastating.
"Just let November do her job" He whispered.
Unexpectedly, the girl named November, jumped off the school building and hovered as she shooted the person in control of the helicopter. She flung herself directly inside the helicopter just before it got out of power, maneuvering it away from us.
"Maggie" August called me out, in a soft, caring tone of voice. "You hurt?"
"Nahh, I'm fine" I answered as I flashes a sweet smile. "Thanks for the help"
He wore off his neoprene face mask, exposing his good-looking face. He had the naturally tan skin, and it was flawless.
"You're quite smart and defiant" he commended with a grin "I need you to come with me, and become part of our team"
