Mind of a STARK [2]

***The words in BOLD during the flashbacks, mean that it's said in a different language.

"

Damn it!" I bang my hands against the desk. "Jarvis, run another scan."

While the party went on above me, I stayed down here trying to figure out what is wrong with my brain. Whatever happened to me in Monaco can't happen again. It felt like I was loosing control. And I can't let that happen.

Plus the fact that I am literally locked up down here really isn't helping me stay in control. It's all bringing back memories I rather not remember...

Flashback

"Again!" The mean instructor yelled at the two girls who were sparing. One was 7 years old and the other was 5. The youngest girl being Isabel.

The girls began sparring again, it was easy to see that: 1) one was exceedingly better than the other and 2) One was holding back punches, to give the other girl, who was already beaten and bloodied up a chance.

"Stop." The instructor yelled out in a serious tone. Instantly the two girls stopped and stood up straight awaiting his next words.

"Agent 319. Are you going easy on 254?"

"No sir." She said in Russian, since she was supposed to be practicing it.

"319, what do we say about mercy?" He questioned walking closer to the girl until he was right infront of her.

"mercy is for the weak, sir"

"Yes and here at H------ we do not allow the weak to live." He moved so he was behind her. Resting his hands on her shoulder, grabbing them roughly. Yet Isabel, didn't dare make a sound of discomfort, scared of what might happen if she showed the tiniest bit of weakness.

"254 is weak. Wouldn't you agree 319." He asked the girl. She did not reply, sensing he really wasn't expecting an answer.

"What is it we must do to does who are weak?"

"...we kill them, sir."

He let go of her shoulders and motioned her to move towards 254.

"You know what you must do. 254 is weak, she's a waste of resources. She must be killed." He pushes Isabel forward, the other girl backing away in fear. She knew that if Isabel decided to listen to him and tries to kill her, she has no chance of being able to fight her off. She was already wasted from their sparring match and Isabel wasn't even giving her best.

"Permission to speak sir" The soldier assigned to train Isabel speaks out. (also in russian)

"What is it soldier"

"Agent 319 is still not cleared for assassinations. I would advise for you to not force her to kill her fellow agent, 254 this early in her training, sir."

"Thank you for your advise soldier, but Isabel will be killing this girl today. After that display of empathy she showed while fighting the girl, I want to make sure that our faith in 319's potential isn't missed placed. So, 319 here's your first ever mission. Kill the weakness. "

Isabel froze... kill. She's never killed anyone before. She's seen it done but the thought of her actually doing it terrified her.

"Isabel, porfavor no, porfavor no me mates" the girl started pleading in Spanish since she didn’t know any other language. (Isabel please don't, please don't kill me)
