Once I became an adult, I came to America.
It was a nice change of pace although I still hankered for Serbia. Probably more so now given what would happen to me.
I signed up to work at Geneva Labs as a scientist and it started out quite normal until Kingsley, Damon, and some others put a rag over my mouth.
When I woke up, I felt as if my body changed.
I was a showpiece for them for superpowers.
They would pay as I escaped.
