The way back was long and quiet. It was hard to say anything after all that happened in that infirmary. I was a jerk, she knew it but I couldn't bring myself to apologize nor pretend everything was okay.
Physically, my head was almost completely healed except for the new scar on my temple and eyebrow from the bullet graze. The doctor was right, we were biologically engineered to have stronger bones and quicker cell replacement. We were one of the greatest accomplishments of humanity still we were sidelined and treated like lesser humans. Repulsive, that's what we were to the city that created us and Officer Abrom knew that just as much as I did that's why I was so frustrated. She would never look at me straight again, her eyes would always see my flaws. That gaze of piety made me grit my teeth.
- Hey! - Her voice calling me up pulled me back to Earth. She was standing on the sidewalk.
