Chapter 1
"The Blade That Cuts"
Ken stands there in shock looking at Nori, "I am sorry you look so much like someone I knew I thought you were her." Ken says.
Nori smiles at Ken, "Ken it is me Nori." She says as she places her hand on her chest referencing to her self. Ken stumbles back and falls into his seat as Nori reaches for him so he does not fall to the floor,
"No it cannot be I saw you die... You died in Aya's arms right in front of our eyes." Ken says still in shock looking at Nori as she smiles at him,
"Can we get out here Ken I would like to explain this to you." Nori reaches out to Ken to take her hand.
Ken gets up from his seat and starts to walk away from her, thoughts running wild in his head, "No you are not Nori, my mind must be playing tricks on me, or this is a set up of some kind. You are dead... I saw you die... You are not Nori you are an imposter or a figment of my imagination."
Ken stumbles over a few chairs as he tries to leave the Tea Shop as people stare at him walking out. Nori looks at everyone and smiles saying, "He is not feeling well sorry about this everyone." She walks out after Ken. Ken is quickly walking down the sidewalk back to the Flower Shop as Nori walks from the Tea Shop,
"Ken!!" Nori yells running after him, "Ken please stop, I need to talk to you please!"
Ken turns looking back at her as he goes around the corner to the Flower Shop. Nori quickly darts up to him grabbing him just before he enters into the Flower Shop and darts back around the corner with him.
She puts her hands on his shoulders, "Ken it is me Nori, I am not dead it was all staged."
Nori stands in front of Ken as he looks out onto the street. "Look at me Ken it is me Nori." She adds.
Ken slowly turns his head and looks at Nori as their eyes lock on one another's; she smiles at him talking to him in her thoughts,
"It is really me Ken; I am not an imposter or a figment of your imagination." Ken looks at Nori and backs away from her. He gets a look on his face that is a look of relief, anger and confusion all at the same time; he starts to speak when all of a sudden Omi walks around the corner calling out to him, "Ken what was that all about?!"
Nori turns quickly so Omi does not see her. Ken turns around to face Omi, "Omi give me a minute." Ken tells him.
Omi walks around Ken to Nori, "Excuse me?" Omi says to her placing his hand on her arm turning her to face him. Omi stumbles backward and falls to the ground looking up at Nori saying, "How... It cannot be... You are dead... How?"
Nori puts her hand to her head and sighs saying, "This is not good, I only wanted Ken to know I was still alive. Now I have got the two of you that know." Nori reaches for Omi and helps him from his seat on the sidewalk.
Omi takes her hand has he gets up from the walkway. "Why Nori... Why did you fake your death?" Omi asks her.
All of a sudden, Ken chimes in with pure anger in his tone, "Do you know the hell you put us through the heart ach that Aya is going through right now?"
Nori interrupts Ken exclaiming, "Aya cannot know that I am still alive!!"
"Why Nori?!" Omi says. "Aya loves you very much and misses you even more; he has not been the same since you left us." Omi adds.
"Because he cannot, believe me Omi when I say I want to be with Aya more then you will ever know, but..."
Ken cuts Nori off yelling, "But what!! Aya is in more hell then we are and you do not want him to know."
"Ken you do not understand why I did this." Nori tells Ken as a tear rolls down her cheek,
"NO I DO NOT!!" Ken yells at her.
Omi goes over to Ken placing his hand on his shoulder saying, "Ken do not yell at Nori what she did she did for a good reason or she would not have done it."
"A good reason you say." Ken says looking at Omi then over at Nori,
"Then tell me why you faked your death Nori?" Ken asks her.
Just then, Omi hears Aya's car coming down the street, he looks around the corner to see Aya's car parking in front of the Flower Shop.
"Well if you do not what Aya knowing you're still alive you better get out of here." Omi tells her.
Nori starts to walk off as Ken grabs her arm, "No I want to know why?" Ken says turning her to look at him,
"Tonight... meet me here." Nori hands Ken a business card with an address on it, "I will tell you everything you want to know, and Omi if you want to come with him that is fine." Nori tells them walking away to avoid Aya, she goes to her car where Manx was waiting for her.
Aya walks around the corner, "What are you two doing out here?" He asks them as they walk toward him around the corner.
Just then, a movement down the street catches Aya eye and he looks, seeing Nori climbing into her car. Aya shakes his head and blinks his eyes standing there frozen looking down the street, Omi turns not seeing Aya following them to the Shop.
"What is it Aya?" Omi asks him walking back to him.
Aya turns looking at Omi saying, "I am losing it Omi, I know I miss her, but now I am seeing her." Aya says.
"Come on Aya you have had a hard day today. After all it has been one year since she left us, we all miss her. There are times I think I see her to." Omi tells him, Aya looks back down the street at where the car was shaking his head thinking,
"I miss you so much Nori. How I wish you were still with us."
Later that night while the guys are closing the Flower Shop for the day Yohji goes to pull down the security door, "Those legs..." Yohji says.
Manx bends down looking under the door. "Hello Yohji." Manx says.
Once Manx enters the Shop, Ken and Omi look over at her.
"Looks like we wont be seeing her tonight," Ken says to Omi.
"Looks that way Ken," Omi says.
"What are you two going on about over there?" Aya asks them.
"Oh nothing Aya, me and Omi were going to go catch that new movie at the theater tonight, but it looks like it will have to wait until tomorrow." Ken tells him.
"Sorry guys I did not mean to ruin your plans for tonight." Manx tells them,
"Well should we go?" Yohji says opening the door to go down stairs.
As they all walk down stairs,
"Hello Weiss,"
"Well Weiss it has been a full year since we have heard from Schwarz, but they have returned once more to cause havoc in the peoples lives." Aya and the others look at one another;
"Why now after a year, is this coincidental that Nori and Schwartz both have come back?" Ken thinks to him self. Ken looks over at Manx she is still looking at
"This is you're mission for tonight Weiss."
"Aya..." he says Aya looks at
Aya looks at Manx and then back at
Manx walks up to Aya handing him a folder then one to Yohji and then the other two as well, "This is what we know so far, everything you need to know is in there." Manx tells then,
"Wow Manx is there anything you forgot to add to this? This is the most information I have ever seen you give us for a mission." Omi says looking through his folder. Aya starts to walk to his room,
"Where you going Aya?" Ken asks him,
"To my room until it is time to leave." Aya says. Yohji throws his folder down onto the table and grabs his coat, "I am going to get food. Does anyone else want anything while I am out?" Yohji asks them.
They shake their heads telling him no, Yohji walks up the stairs and leaves. Ken looks at Manx,
"Do not ask." Manx tells him,
"But Manx I need to let her know we will not be there tonight." Ken tells her.
"She knows that you will not be there Ken." Manx tells him, she pauses; "Her team will be at Schwartz Hideout tonight with you guys." Manx tells Ken.
"Will she be there as well?" Omi asks Manx.
"Her Team?!" Ken says with a confused look.
Manx looks at the two of them and sighs, "I told her this was not a good idea to let any of you know she was still alive."
Ken looks at Manx, "Nori has a team now?"
"She has always had a team Ken, but Paul and Jill were killed last year, as a matter of fact just right before we faked Nori's death." Manx tells them.
"Why?! Why did you do that to us Manx? Do you know what we went through? The heartache we had thinking Nori was dead." Ken told her.
"Do not ask me question I cannot answer Ken." Manx says. She sighs and then continues, "I know it was hard on you guys. You got very close to Nori in a very short time, and I am sorry for the pain you had to suffer over this, but it was done for a good reason Ken, I hope one day you will understand that." Manx tells him.
"So you did know it was bogus and that Nori was not dead and still you came in here putting on an act for us and seeing the suffering we all were going through and still said nothing to us!!" Ken exclaimed.
Manx gave Ken a look of hurt and disgust, "You knew I could not tell you that Ken. It was set up for a reason and that reason was for Aya's safety for all of you're safety!" Manx exclaims.
Ken throws his folder across the room and exclaims, "I am sick of all these lies you have feed us about Nori, I want to know why you did this and stop with the 'It was for your own safety' crap!"
"Ken calm down," Omi says placing his hand on his shoulder.
Ken shrugged Omi's hand from his shoulder saying, "This is BS, and you know it Omi. Look what it has done to Aya, he is a mess and if tonight's mission does not get him killed for him going out for revenge then his heartache will kill him for sure."
"Aya will do the mission and nothing will stop him in doing so Ken." Manx tells him.
"Right Manx did you see the look in Aya's eyes when
"That's why Nori's Team is going?" Manx says to Ken.
"WHAT!!" Omi exclaims continuing, "Nori's Team is going to watch us?" Omi adds.
"Yes, Nori's Team is going to make sure you guys do what you are told to do and NOT exacta your revenge on Schwarz." Manx tells them.
Ken punches the wall next to him placing a hole in it, "THIS IS BULLSHIT!!" Ken yells out.
Aya walks out into the front room to see what all the commotion was about; he sees the hole in the wall that Ken put there.
"What is going on out here and who put the hole in the wall?" Aya says.
"I did Manx was telling us that Nori?"
Manx quickly interrupts Ken, "I was telling Ken that there will be no revenge on tonight's mission, no matter if you see Schwarz or not you will do your job and then leave like Persia told you to do."
Aya drops the papers he was holding onto the table, "You really think we are going to walk into that place and not seek out Schwarz your as crazy as
Aya laughs saying under his breath, "They will pay for what they did to Nori." Aya picks up his papers and walks back to his room.
Ken stands there with a smug grin on his face, "I told you no one will stop him, or me if I see them. I wont seek them out I will make them come to me it makes the kill better in my eyes." Ken tells Manx.
"KEN!!" Omi exclaims, "I cannot believe you just said that!!"
"That's what we are Omi killers so why not say it." Ken says as he walks off to his room as well.
"Omi, Nori's Team is Elite they were trained in thinking just as Nori does, they will stop them. So you had better keep them under control tonight." Manx tells him.
"Me why does this always fall back on me, I am with Ken and Aya they deserve to die for what they did... Wait what am I say Nori is not dead. How do you expect me to stop Aya when he thinks Nori is still dead, Ken I can talk to and make him see this, but Aya cannot know is what Nori told us." Omi says.
"Just stop them Omi I do not care how you do it just do it." Manx tells him as she starts to walk up the stairs.
"Great and what is to say Yohji is not in on this as well he misses Nori just as much as the rest of us do." Omi exclaims.
Manx bends down to see Omi saying, "Just stop them Omi, but do not let them know Nori is still alive."
"Gees, why me," Omi says has he puts his hand to his head.
Later that night at Nori's place, Nori calls her Team into the parlor,
"You know you are about to meet up with one of Kritiker's best Assassin Team... Weiss. They are next in line to the Elite one of the best." Nori walks over behind the couch where Kent and Jon were seated and rests her hands on the back of the couch looking down at them and then over at Laney.
"Yes we know of Weiss's reputation."
"So what about them?" Laney asks.
"You are to make sure they do not kill any of the Schwarz Team, they go in and extract the information we need and they leave, nothing else." Nori tells them.
Jon laughs looking up at Nori, "So we are Baby sitter tonight?"
"In a way yes you are I worked too hard on this to get the information we have so far to let them ruin it out of revenge for my death." Nori tells them.
"So why not just tell them your still alive Nori, don't you think that would be easier."? Laney says sitting up in her chair.
"Think about it Laney. If you thought someone you cared about was dead for a year and then just showed back up in your life what would you do."
Laney looks at
"Are you going to be there tonight Nori?" Jon asks her.
"Yes I will but you will never see me, I will be were you least expect me at all times." Nori tells him.
"So you will be baby sitting us to make sure we do are job?"
Nori smiles at
"Even if it means killing Aya," Jon says with a sarcastic tone smiling at her.
Nori gets a very angered look on her face and walks around in front of Jon grabbing him by his shirt and lifting him from the couch, "You do not kill any member of Weiss do you understand me Jon." Nori releases Jon and turns looking at Laney and then back at
"Yes it is understood Nori." Kent and Laney say to her.
"Good get your selves ready you have an hour and a half before we must leave." Nori tells them. They all nod at Nori and leave the room.
As they were leaving the parlor Nori heard them talking to one another, "Man I was only kidding with her, she needs to loosen up over them." Jon says straightening his shirt.
"Bad move Jon," Laney tells him.
"You know how she is with Weiss. Even if you were joking with her."
Nori sits down on the couch and rests her head into her hands thinking about the Team she has chose to be Elite...
"Kent Chen that is tall well built and trained in many of the marshal art fields. He is strong and quick, he is calm and very reserved, and he is resourceful in knowing how to use any weapon he gets his hands on."
"Jon Shiue that is a little taller then my self and built as well as Kent, a master in throwing daggers and stars, good at hand to hand if it comes down to it. His attitude leaves little to desire at least from me, he is excessively cocky, and thinking there is no one out there that can beat him, but a good swordsman nonetheless, he and I are the same."
"Then there is Laney Tohoshi my first member of the Team, she has the best two-sword technique around she even tops me, she is quick and fearless she is cocky but a good kind of cocky unlike Jon. She is dangerous and deadly when it comes to a fight she thinks as I do, 'It's me or you and it's not going to be me' she was a very good choice. They all are and now even better that I have trained them to be Elites."
As Nori sits there in thought she hears, "Nori are you alright?" Nori looks up to see Laney standing right in front of her.
"Laney... yes I am, thank you for your concern." Nori tells her running her fingers through her hair pulling it back. Laney takes a seat on the table in front of Nori,
"Thinking about Aya?" Laney asks her.
Nori smiles and gives a small chuckle, "For the first time Laney, no I am not thinking about Aya. I was thinking about you guys."
"Us why us, are you having doubts about us?" Laney asks her.
"NO... Laney I trained you all to be the best. You all have proven your selves to me one too many times in our missions. I know that this mission will be no different then the others. I guess I am just worried about who this mission involves and it has me worried. I know Weiss will not let Schwarz get away with what they think they have done to me." Nori tells her.
Laney smiles at Nori placing her hand on Nori's, "Do not worry we will not let anything happen to Weiss and we will not harm them either." Nori and Laney smile at one another as Nori nods at Laney.

Chapter 2
"The Blade That Cuts"
Back at Weiss Headquarters the guys are walking out to leave for the mission. Aya was the last one out the door as the others look at their leader,
"Well I know the rest of you have been looking forward to this night as much as I have, and now it is here. The only thing I want to know is who is going to kill Crawford?" Yohji says.
Aya looks at Yohji, "You guys will do what needs to be done for the mission I will take care of Crawford and the others."
"Aya this is not right. I know we are all hurting from Nori's death but if any of us kill Schwarz it makes us no better then them and you heard
Yohji grabs Omi by his shirt, "Are you telling us that you are going to let Schwarz walk for what they did to Nori, what kind of friend are you Omi?"
"Let him go Yohji he is only doing what
"Fine go in there and try to kill Schwarz and you will be stopped cold!" Omi yells at them as they walk to the car. Aya and others turn looking at Omi,
"Ken you know as well as I do that if we make one move toward Schwarz, Nor... Elite will stop us and you know what will happen then." Omi says.
Aya gets a confused look on his face walking back toward Omi, "What are you not telling us?" Aya asks him looking over at Ken.
"Sounds like
Aya looks at Yohji, "I think your right Yohji. Now tell me what I do not know you two?" Aya says in a cold tone looking back at Omi and Ken.
"Manx told us that a Team of Elites will be there tonight to make sure we do what we are told and do not kill Schwarz." Ken tells Aya and Yohji.
"A Team of Elites you say." Yohji says with a chuckle. "And may I ask who trained this Team of Elites, because I know it was not Nori. So I would have to say in that matter we have nothing to worry about." He added.
"It does not matter Yohji they are Elites and their training is more in detailed they ours. They will stop you." Omi tells them.
"Well we will see what happens when it all starts to come down. I done told Manx No One will stop me, Not Tonight." Aya says as he walks back to the car and climbs in. Yohji gets in the drivers seat and Ken and Omi mount their bikes and leave to go to Schwarz hideout. Omi thinks to his self as they head to the hideout,
"Nori is the only one that will be able to stop them or something short of an act of God. I just hope things do not get too out of hand tonight. Please Nori you have to be there tonight no one is listening to me, not even Ken and he knows you're still alive."
While at Schwarz hideout Nori and her Team has already arrived awaiting Weiss to make their appearance.
"Nori, may I ask you a question?" Laney whispers to her.
Nori looks over at Laney "I guess... What do you want to know?" Nori says to her.
"Well I do not want to upset you, but why did you stage your death for Weiss." Nori looks out into the night as they all sit there waiting for Nori's answer,
"It is against Kritiker's Rules for any of the members to be together is it not?" Jon says quietly.
Nori looks over at the two of them, "You are right it is against Kritiker's Rules." Nori tells them.
"Then how and why did you and Aya get together, if you knew it was wrong?"
Nori smiles, "I guess it was fait that brought us together?" Nori pauses and looks at Laney, "I did it to keep them safe Laney."
"Safe from what," Jon asks, Nori looks over at Jon.
"When you care for or love someone you will do everything in your power to keep them safe right?" Nori asks him, Jon nods at her question, "Then you should know. I should not have to tell you that. Aya and the others put their selves in harms way many times for me and I my self have done it for them, that was not a wise move on either party. You never endanger your self on a mission, you are in enough danger just doing your part of the job, and you never risk the mission because of emotions. Because of this I had to remove my self from their lives. Faking my death was the only way to do it and get it done right." Nori tells them.
"It sounds selfish to me."
"Selfish in what way, it was the best thing to do at the time." Nori says in shock that
"You were friends with them and friends look out for one another just as we do and I can say Weiss looks out for their Team mates as well. That is why we are all still here today is because we look out for one another, without one another we would be dead. We make one another stronger with our bond we have as friends. Aya's bond of love he had with you made him stronger not weak and the others and their friendship with you was the same way. You took that away from them without them having a choice in it, to me that is selfishness on your part."
"They did foolish things putting them selves in harms way." Nori scolded.
"What you thought was foolish was actually them doing their job. You thought it was foolish because it made you worry about their safety; it was not them you worried about. It was you thinking that you might have to live without one of them because they got killed in the line of duty."
Nori looks at
"It would have made you feel bad, because they died protecting their team mate. It is all part of the job Nori and you know that. So instead of you getting hurt and suffering a broken heart you did it to them."
Nori sits there thinking about what
Just then Jon hears someone coming up behind them, "SHH!!" Jon whispers as they scatter so not to be seen.
Nori takes to the trees looking down upon Weiss as they walk under her. She sees Aya standing directly under her. "Aya be careful..." She whispers. Aya makes a sudden stop looking around. Omi not watching what Aya was doing runs into the back of him.
"Hey why did you stop Aya?" Omi whispers to him,
"I heard something." Aya whispers back. They all start to look around as Ken looks up seeing Nori in the tree and then she vanishes from his sight. Ken smiles looking back at the others,
"What are you smiling about?" Yohji asks Ken.
"Nothing really I just have this feeling we are being watched over by a certain someone tonight." Ken tells him.
Aya looks at Ken, "You are talking about Nori watching over us." Aya says with a smile. Ken's smile grows bigger as the others smile as well,
"Then let's make her proud and do the job like we were told, and not make this a mission of revenge." Omi said to them.
Nori heard what Omi said she starts to think, "No Aya please do not do that, just do the mission and I promise you I will see you soon."
"Nori?!" Aya says the others look at Aya.
"Aya are you all right?" Yohji asks him,
"I heard Nori speak to me." Aya said in confusion. Nori kneels down on the tree branch she was standing on,
"He heard me!!" she said in shock. "Ken, Omi, Yohji, do you hear me as well?" Nori says to her self they all start looking around where they are standing. "They can hear me!" Nori says.
"Ok this is freaky, let's get this over with and go back to headquarters." Yohji says.
"You heard her too?" Aya says. They all look at Aya and nod,
"What now," Ken asks. Nori smiles and thinks, talking to Weiss again,
"Go do the mission and let Schwarz live and I promise you all tomorrow will be a brighter day."
"Ok, this is getting too weird for me let's get this done and get out of here." Yohji tells them. They all look at one another the look on their faces was as if they had just seen a ghost, they nod and head toward the building.
"There is only one way to find out." Nori says as she follows them to the building. Kent, Laney and Jon follow behind hidden in the shadows.
Once inside the building Nori's Team went off to follow Weiss as Nori stayed close to Aya, "Where are you going Aya you are not suppose to be looking for Schwarz." Nori says softly.
Aya continues down a corridor that takes him into a lab, when he gets into the room he see a young girl that they had placed in suspended animation he walks closer to the chamber she was in. Aya shocked by what he saw stumbles back he could not take his eyes from the young girl in the chamber.
Nori staying back in the shadows is still following Aya, "I do not remember this corridor when I was here this must be new." She says to her self. Nori walks into the room staying out of sight when she gets back into the shadows she looks out at Aya seeing the young girl as well, Nori so stunned by what she sees she drops to her knees her eyes wide and her mouth open.
"What have they done?" Nori whispers into the night.
Aya spins around hearing a voice in the room, knocking a folder from the counter. Aya looks down and picks it up looking at he papers inside of it. He spins around looking up at the young girl, "Ayumu Project?!" Aya said still looking at the young girl. "They made a clone of Nori!!" Aya exclaims. Aya starts to walk from the room with the folder, he stops looking back at the young girl. "Nori why did you leave us, why did you leave me?" Aya whispers into the night walking from the room back to the other Weiss members.
Once Aya was out of the room Nori walks from the shadows she could not take her eyes from the replica of her self,
"What do they think you are doing here." Nori walks over to the control panel and starts pulling up the information on the clone Nori so involved in what she found did not hear
"What the HELL... She looks just like you?!" She spins around seeing
"You startled me Kent what are you doing in here you should be watching Weiss?" Nori tells him.
"They got what they came for and are leaving as we speak."
"Good, Schwarz must not be here at the moment I have not see a sign of them any where." Nori tells
"Who are you and what are you doing in here?!" Nori and
Nori hearing the voice knows it is Nagi, she turns slowly saying,
"Nagi... long time no see sweetie."
"Sweetie?!"
Nori laughs saying, "Just something I use to call him when I was undercover here." Nori hears the computer speak,
'File download completed.'
Nori and
"What about her?"
"Well I guess I will have to take care of her once they let her free." Nori says.
"You mean you do not want to destroy her now?"
"No not really... I am kind of curious to see if this is going to workout." Nori says walking from the room.
"If you come out of there as strong as Nori she will have her hands full. I hope she knows what she is doing here."
Hours later at Schwarz hideout Schuldich and Crawford walk into the lab when Nagi was gone too long they walk into the lab seeing Nagi laying on the floor out cold. They quickly walk over to him as Schuldich lifts him up slightly from the floor. "Nagi... Nagi can you hear me Nagi." Crawford lightly slaps Nagi on his cheeks.
"Come on Nagi wake up." Crawford says still slapping him lightly. Nagi moves his head as to get away from Crawford slapping him. Nagi moans and reaches for his head.
"Ayumu..." Nagi moans quietly. "Nagi what did you say?" Crawford asks.
"Ayumu," Nagi repeats softly as he opens his eyes. Crawford looks up at the clone and says, "What about her she looks fine from here."
"No the really Ayumu." Nagi says.
"She is dead Nagi you must be dreaming." Schuldich says.
"No she was here with some guy I have never seen before." Nagi tells them. Schuldich and Crawford look at one another.
"I think he is working to hard on this." Crawford says.
"But what if he really did see Ayumu?" Schuldich says.
"He was dreaming Schuldich, Nagi fell and hit head coming in here and he had a dream about her. You seen her in her coffin dead they stuck her in the ground. There is no way she lived and you know that. Now get her out of your head. I cannot believe you are still in love with her after what she did to us." Crawford says picking Nagi up from the floor and walking from the room.
Schuldich looks up at Ayumu's clone; he walks over to it and touches the glass. "I know you turned on us, but it was nothing compared to what we did to you." Schuldich whispers dropping his hand from the glass as he turns walking out of the room.
Later that night back at Nori house Nori sits in her office in front of her computer as she sorts through the disk she downloaded for Schwarz on the young girl.
"You do know it is
"Sometimes... When I find I have nothing else to do." Nori says.
"Well here I made you some tea. I thought we could sit and drink a cup together it has been sometime since we have got to sit a chat." Laney tells her handing her the tea cup and sitting down in the chair in front of her desk. "
Nori looks at Laney, "I think we will be safe. As with all clones they have limits and their clone is far from prefect." Nori tells her turning the screen so Laney can it. "Look here this is her and this is me." Nori tells Laney pointing at two different DNA structures on the screen. "Can you tell me the differences you see in them?"
Laney sits up on the edge of her seat looking at the screen. "This is you?" Laney says pointing at Nori's DNA,
"Yes and this is a normal humans DNA." Nori says scrolling the screen to show Laney.
"Holy Crap!!" Laney exclaims,
Nori laughs saying, "Have you seen the differences in them?"
"Go back to yours and hers." Laney says. Laney looks at Nori and the clones DNA. "Her is incomplete she has links missing in her DNA." Laney says.
"Yes she does, and if you look her she has mutable links all through out her structure. Here it is telling me she has two hearts and here it is telling me that she has two of my powers, but I have not found the others yet. Her brain activity is only half of what mine is and by looking at her growth chart for the last 10 months she has not grown much in the last 4, her metabolism is slow, very slow and she is not very smart." Nori says still looking at the screen.
"Well she is a blonde."
Nori looks up from her computer as Laney is laughing at
"Hey leave me out of this one." Laney says still chuckling.
"I think we should have destroyed her."
"I do not think they will be successful on this one clone. Not unless I am over looking something here." Nori says going back to her computer.
"This here...?"
"What about it, it is the structure of her skin." Nori says.
"Yes but it is different then yours."
"Yes they have tried to make her skin impenetrable." Nori tells him.
"Well that is not good if she lives. How will we kill her if we cannot cut through her?"
Nori looks at
"WHAT... you want me to cut you? Nori you know..." he says.
"Yes cut me," Nori interrupters telling him this holding out her arm wrist up.
"But if I cut you there you could bleed to death."
Nori smiles at him, "Just cut me
"Deeper," Nori says grabbing his hand and pushing down on the blade cutting her deep into her wrist,
"Stop!!" Laney yells.
Nori cringes as the blade cuts into her wrist.
"Get a towel!!" Ken yells as he watches the blood run from Nori's wrist,
