P O V - Digit (Avery)

I'm gonna kill someone. Not many people say that seriously, mostly just jokes passed on to friends when someone's feeling a little ticked. I actually have to kill someone. I'm not sure how to feel about this. I mean, I don't even know the guy, he's a mafia boss too! Shouldn't that make this easier? And... Jodey's death... it was an accident, I didn't mean- It doesn't change the fact that I killed him...

I was already back in the lab and Pip noticed my tense figure. He walked over to me to place his hand on my shoulder.

"Hey Digit..." I smiled at the name he pretty much picked out for me. I can tell he really likes it. He might start picking on me about it now.

"I can't believe it..."

"You'll be fine Avie! He's a bad man, don't dwell on it."

"I didn't sign up to kill! I thought I was just gonna build shit!"

"You did agree to do what the boss says..."

"God damnit..." I placed my head down on the desk I was sitting at. I guess doing this is better than becoming a war turret or something. I shivered at the thought of having to massacre towns and cities... this was just one person. One bad person. Why couldn't they just leave my damn body alone?

"Uhm, Avie, I thought of something for you."

"Yeah Pip?"

"Well, most of the members have some type of disguise or cover-up... and well, I thought I'd make this for you. I also saw how uncomfortable you looked when the members stared at your face, so I thought this would help. It's a prototype right now, but it's able to do multiple things. I think you'll be able to perfect it, hopefully..."

He gave me a mask. The mask was well done. It was kind of like the color of bones. It had a slight resemblance to the Scuola Materna symbol. I traced my finger around it and looked up at Pip.

"Bro."

"Bro."

And then we hugged...

I'm kidding, I cried for a solid 6 minutes just to thank him. He cried too. Boss called. He cried with us as well, which was weird, so that stopped our crying immediately.

Once everything settled down, I cleaned up my face and put on the mask. Damn, I could wear this forever. He made the inside like a pillow, but for my face. I love that.

I guess it's time for me to meet my team now. Boss notified me to meet them before we all go on the mission for both some planning and to get acquainted with each other. That doesn't sound too bad honestly, but with me being the new fry in the school, it could go a lot worse. I can only hope for the best.
