Summary:She had been born with over 1000 voices and tongues in her mind
As far as enhancements went it was pretty good. Being a polyglot wasn’t flight, or super strength but it definitely had its advantages. Sara had decided to put her abilities to good use as so many before her had and apply for an international liaison job with the government, and she wasn’t surprised when she got it. She was happy though, no better way to see the world than on the governments dime, right?
When she was offered a position change with a potential promotion in 3 years time, she didn’t see any reason to turn the offer down. Conflict resolution would give her a chance to do something good for the world with her work as opposed to spending her days translating for the powerful and. more often that not, corrupt. Soon enough however, she got a taste of what she would be in for. They had told her while she was participating in training that she would most likely be participating in matters that were involved and sensitive, working with enhanced children.
No one had said anything about negotiating with crazed family members holding children at knifepoint to drive the demons out of them. Sara had honestly never thought she would be dealing with them. She had heard stories but those that was all they had ever seemed to be. Decades after the Change, surely nobody still thought of enhancements as demonic possessions, and if they did certainly not in the civilized world. 20 hours, 3 tortured children and 4 arrests later she knew differently.
In the coming months Sara realized there were plenty of other things that had never imagined she would hear of much less see with her own two eyes; the trafficking and prostitution rings, infanticide, and mutilation. On and off of foreign ground.
There were days that felt like victory, less that felt like defeat, and far too many that felt like a stalemate. But there were none that were without purpose. She had been born with over 1,000 voices and tongues in her mind. It was no loss to give them to those who had none.
