Aeneid Adamantium
"Before the g l i t t e r, the a s h e s and t o m b s t o n e d u s t..."
It's been a year since they assigned this face to me. A year since they broke the bones in my legs and in my cheeks. A year since they rearranged muscles and tendons and flesh. A year since they took a rebel and made her a citizen.

Instead, the next morning the person who woke her was not a Peacekeeper, but a stylist. She was dressed in plain(er) clothes, her hair trimmed, a bit of makeup applied. She would have felt almost human, if not the hollow on her palette.
She drove in an unmarked van through the Capitol. When she stepped out, she in front of a door to a residence.
"You've been assigned to this home. Do whatever they say."
Nothing in the entire year of transformation had so totally disarmed her. Aeneid's heart leapt into her throat, too long fingers shaking as she wrapped them around her ribcage.
The door opened. The Peacekeeper spoke. "This is Velocity Rush, your avox."
