There was something breathtaking about watching her sleep before the nightmares crept in.

When awake she wore a mask that hid her from prying eyes. Made her impermeable to the environment and those around her. Dix would get video feed of White slaughtering another transgenic and her only reaction would be a clenched fist while her velvet dark eyes narrowed. She was a warrior, a walking weapon; but when slumber took her under, the mask fell. A beautiful woman was left, stripped from labels and the cage Manticore tried to lock her in. In this moment she was his. “Maxie.”
