Nearly Drowned

‘Swimming with the fish’ can have two meanings. One she loved, the other brought fear. But three against one, she can’t escape.

Malissa only wanted to help, not get on the radar of a group of people willing to drown those who get in their way. But then they recognize her from elsewhere.

As a normal sixteen-year-old, Malissa hadn’t stood out much. Aside from an avid love of swimming and an unusual strength. Her shy nature held her back from helping, only sometimes giving birth to attempts. But usually, her friends have to bail her out when things don’t work out.

But the bad guys know her and keep talking about how she could be ‘his’ child. How did they know she was adopted? The note left by her biological father indicated there may be danger but that’s when she was a baby.

The group threatened an extended swim but with strange promises of maybe seeing her again. As the pain increased in her chest, the hope of saving seemed to leave with her. But there’s a moment after the darkness, the water remains and a clear voice talks to her.
 

Double Vision

One is just a normal girl, the other an agent. Twins that, until recently, didn’t know that the other was alive.

Jessie just found out that she has a twin, Jessica was led to believe her twin died at birth.

They met once, but in the confusion, decided not to tell Jessica’s parents. Maybe they should have. The UIC, who Jessica’s Agency is pitted against, isn’t surprised that Jessie is alive. In fact, they were looking for her; for them both.

As if the situation was bad enough, then someone mentions a powerful experiment or an experiment for powers . . .
