Ryan Phoenix was, to put it bluntly, the most powerful man on the planet. He wasn't a politician though, he was no world leader or military general, no...he was a businessman....sole owner of the largest company in the world, Phoenix Genetics. He had built the company himself from nothing....unlocking the entire human genetic structure decades before anyone else, discovering the potential of genetic engineering when he was barely in his late 20's. That had been decades ago...but thanks to his discoveries he had been able to put a stop to his aging process. He hadn't aged a day since the 1950's. Since then he'd quietly built up his company, earning a fortune and keeping it hidden away. Then, in 2000 he had finally went public...well...at least partially. He had only allowed some of his discoveries to go public, cures for diseases, minor appearance enhancements, more or less instant weight loss treatments, not to mention some other more...personal genetic modifications. That had been 12 years ago, and in that time everyone in the world had come to know Ryan's name, he was by far the richest person in the world and commanded more power than any politician. Of course, that had come to mean he had enemies....many enemies. Some were against his genetic treatments, some were fearful of his power, others simply wanted the oppertunity to take his power and secrets for themselves. Until now, Ryan had been able to outsmart all of them, but in recent months things had gotten worse...Ryan couldn't do these things alone anymore....not if he was to continue his research.
That was why Ryan had decided to employ two bodyguards. The best apparently. Their pasts were somewhat hidden and vague, even with Ryan's connections, but then again that didn't really matter. He knew what he needed to know...they were dedicated, loyal, willing to put the job above anything and everything else. Better yet the two had been long time partners, they knew exactly how to work together. He was on his way down to meet them now. He hadn't met them, hadn't interviewed them, he had simply offered the job on the strength of what he had learned about them. Of course their pay was to be substantial, though the job had come with certain....conditions. They were to be more than just Ryan's bodyguards....they were do whatever he needed. Protect him, serve him, obey every order without question. Then of course there was the other condition....the thought brought a slight smile to Ryan's face. The two were also going to be guinea pigs to two of his newest genetic modifications....as well as some more tried and tested ones.
The elevator ride down to the lobby was a rather long one...then again that's what happened when you had your office on the top floor of the worlds tallest building. Upon arriving, Ryan stepped out of the elevator, smiling to the staff as they greeted him happily, a secretary greeting Ryan and escorting him towards the two waiting bodyguards. Like every other employee, the secretary was genetically perfect, a perk of the job. Her appearance had been practically sculpted to her own personal preference, long flowing hair, shimmering bronze skin, legs that seemed to go on without end, a full, gravity defying chest that almost fell out of her blouse, oh yes...Ryan had certainly enjoyed that one. Still, there were other things to focus on right now.
"Ah, well hello there" Ryan stopped as he took a file from the secretary, waving a hand to send her away, the woman smiling and nodding as she turned to leave. "As you're probably aware, I'm Ryan Phoenix, the man you'll both be guarding at all times. First of all, welcome to the company. Secondly, let's get right to business. If you'd both like to follow me to the lab section....as per your contracts you'll need to undergo some....enhancements in order to fulfill your duties" Ryan turned to go, heading towards an elevator with a red door unlike most of the others. These were special elevators that only went between here and the entrance of the lab floors....all 50 of them. "Your physical strength will be enhanced of course, I suppose to what you might call superhuman levels, you might notice some extra muscle growth from that by the way. Your senses and reflexes will be enhanced....the usual stuff really. There will be some other enhancements as well but...well....I don't want to spoil the surprise..." Ryan chuckled as he stepped into the elevator, waiting for the two to enter before the door slid closed and it began to rise up. "So, why don't you introduce yourselves, tell me a little about each of you"
