"The way he looks at her. Like she's the most important thing in the world to him." "I think she is."
Experiment X - that's was she was known as. A dangerous weapon that belonged to a lab in the Soviet Union. An assassin. A spy.
A seventeen year old...

— VERACITY —
NO ONE HAD laid a finger on Irina until this point. She was locked in a room with two guards at the door. Stepanov knew she could escape easily with just two guards watching over her, but he also knew that she wouldn't, because he had people she cared for in his custody. It was when she heard Steve's screams that she began getting feisty. One of them had slapped her across the cheek, leaving it red and tender because she had spit in his face for laughing at the sound of Steve's agony. Irina was ready to take them both out before Stepanov entered the room once more and Steve's screams had come to a halt.
"What. Did. You. Do?" She asked him, her voice was low and eerily calm. So calm it sent shivers down the guards' spines. But not Stepanov's.
"You want to know exactly where you came from, am I correct, Experiment X?" Stepanov strode around the room, ignoring Irina's previous question. She didn't answer him. Just simply leant back in her chair with a threatening glare on her face.
"I can tell you who your parents are." He whispered and Irina visibly gulped.
"At what price?" She scowled. Stepanov somewhat gently took ahold of her wrist and brushed his thumb over Irina's barcode tattoo, making Irina take in a sharp breath.
"I will let your friends go, and I will tell you who you parents were. On one condition. You stay." He said and Irina's eyes flickered up to his.
"Tell me." Was all she said. The plan in her mind was formulating. Stepanov reached into his pocket and pulled out a single piece of paper that looked years old and like it had been taken from some sort of file.
"Everything you want to know is on this paper." He smirked, handing it to her. Irina just wanted to slap the smugness off his face. When she took the paper from him, Stepanov left the room and Irina heard his loud footsteps echo further and further away down the corridor. Her eyes trailed from the door down to the paper. There was a black and white picture of herself when she was about eleven, or twelve maybe, and it was titled 'Experiment X'. Below that were many detail about her. Birthday. Mother's name: Vera Antonova. Fathers name: Anislav Kozlov.
