The Living Weapon

The business mogul and lauded assassin known as Cassidy Lockhart-Starks had spent a full week at the hands of the foremost minds in memory-stripping and rebuilding and the reviled Angelique LeBeau. Between their combined physical and mental prowess, she'd been scrubbed clean and rebuilt from the ground up. There was no Ethan Starks, there was no Kazarian LeBeau, there were no children, no Champions of Peace, no loving mother and father figure. In their stead, it was killing, killing and maiming and the excelling of both.

She'd never left the League of Shadows after being 'rescued' by Jean Luc BeBeau that fated night in Boston. Her conscience had been stripped and she was no longer tied down by emotional attachments. Where once there had been a loving mother and partner, now there stood only a coldblooded killer. Every muscle was a weapon and every ounce of knowledge another tool at her disposal. She answered only to Les Assassins Silencieux. Cassidy Lockhart-Starks was no more. In her stead stood Cassidy O'Rourke and Mercy was more ironic a name than it had ever been.
