A woman is looking over me. I'm in a small cradle, in a sort of hospital. She says something to two men in white coats. They nod and come over to me. The woman watches as they bend over and pick me up. "Hi baby!" they coo, setting me down on an operating table. "Hiiiii!" and my world is dark.
I wake up with a start. Gasping, I pull my covers off and sit up on my small cot. Nadia and Ying are both still asleep and snoring. I look out the small window that has bars over it. All I can see is white. I'm guessing that it's snow. I go back over to my bed and pull my small blanket back over me and try to fall back asleep. All I can think about is the two men. Who are they and what were they doing to me? I don't get a feeling that it was good.
I roll away from the wall, and Nadia is standing over me. I startle, careful not to make a sound. If Miss Inessa heard us, we'd be dead. Literally.
"What are you doing?!" I whisper as quietly as I can. "I heard you wake up and wanted to make sure you were ok!" Nadia says and smiles kindly. She's always been like this. Too kind for her own good. It's hard to find a good soul in this hell prison, and I'm lucky I found one in Nadia. "I'm ok," I whisper and smile back. She nods and goes back to her cot. I flip back over and try to fall asleep. I lay there for what feels like hours, and at some point, I do fall asleep.
The next morning...
We wake up to the sound of gunshots every morning. What a nice wake-up call, right? Nadia and I sit up, while Ying keeps snoring away. We three have been close our whole lives. All the other girls just want to be better than one another, and it gets really intense. We're more like sisters, supporting each other in a place where support is unheard of. I don't know much about the red room, but I do know that it's not a place where "gentle" exists.
Finally, after Nadia and I sitting on her and giggling, Ying wakes up. She sits up and yields knives out of nowhere. We jump back. "Woah, Ying! It's just us." I say. She sighs and puts the knives away. We get up and put our suits on and get ready for another long day in the Red room.
(The suits)
Nadia is a part of an elite and secret operation in the red room called the science class. Instead of murdering people with weapons, she murders them with science. Ying does some stuff with the science class too, but she's also an assassin. Nadia goes to the secret lab, while Ying and I report to Miss Inessa's office for today's mission.
We walk into the slightly creepy and outdated office, and Miss Inessa is waiting for us.
"Ah, devushki. Please, come in," she says. Ying and I do as she says, and step closer to her. "Your mission today is a special one. One that Nadia Volkov will be joining you on." Ying and I share the tiniest secret smile with each other. "Nadia is our brightest little uchenyy. She will be a great help on this mission." she continues. "You will have to infiltrate a very high-security building in a country called Sokovia. It is populated by an organization called HYDRA." I cock my head at the name. I feel like I've heard it before. "Now, I've gotten word that there may be an American organization there trying to retrieve the same weapon we are trying to get," Inessa says. "So that's why I'm sending you girls. My most talented assassins since Natalia." She talks about Natalia a lot. Apparently, she escaped from the red room. She's kind of my idol.
"So, are my special girls up for it?" she asks. "Moi malen'kiye ubiytsy." she says as she hugs us. Of course, we aren't allowed to say no to missions, so I'm always confused as to why she asks. We nod our heads in agreement and head out the door, our steps in perfect sync. Once we are out, we squeal about this mission and getting to go with Nadia. We head to the armory to receive our weapons for the mission and go to the loading dock. We see Nadia, already there. She's holding lots of tech in her arms and looks nervous. She relaxes as soon as she sees Ying and me, though. The three of us board the helicopter, and we're off to Sokovia.
I hope you guys enjoyed this! So this story starts at the same time as the beginning of Age Of Ultron, which is why they're going to Sokovia. They will run into the Avengers there! Thanks for reading!!!
