Mathilde creeped down the stairs, scared.

"MATHILDE RUN!" Madeleine screamed. "RUN!" Mathilde began to run down the stairs, beginning to cry.

"Don't move!" Nomi said.

"Are you really threatening a child?!" Madeleine inquired.

"If you call asking a child to stop as threatening them then you're crazy!" Nomi said.

"James will come save me!" Madeleine said confidently.

"He didn't come to get you when Logan and Primo had you!" You said. "And besides, he's already shot!"

"You monster!" Madeleine hissed. "You have to destroy everything around you just to feel one ounce of happiness. An ounce!"

"She's right." You were leaning on the railing of the staircase. "We're a monster. A horrible monster."

"You don't say anything because you know I'm right!" Madeleine said. "You're a monster! A MONSTER! DO YOU HEAR ME? A MONSTER! JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER!" You slapped her across the face, hard.

"I. Am. Nothing. Like. My. father." You hissed. Madeleine lifted her trembling fingers to the red mark on her cheek.

"You destroy everything around you." She said. You punched her. She stumbled back, her nose bleeding. Mathild screamed. Nomi tried to hold you back but you broke free of her grip and punched Madeleine again. Soon she was on the floor with a black eye and her face covered with blood. "Monster..." She forced through her blood stained lips. You punched her again. And again. Mathilde was crying. "When James gets here..." Madeleine said. "He'll kill you..."

"I'd like to see him try." You said, fist raised.

"That's better." You said, still leaning against the staircases railing. "Use your rage." You took deep breaths. "Use it! Come on y/n, use it!"

"y/n, are you okay?" Nomi asked.

"Why are you asking that she-devil if she's okay?!" Madeleine blurted.

"She's not a she-devil!" Nomi said. "You're the she-devil!"

"How am I the she-devil?" Madeleine said. "All of the things I've done have been good! I'm good, not evil!" You laughed. It was a crazy laugh. A depressed laugh. A lonely laugh.

"I'm not a she-devil!" You laughed. "Keep telling yourself that. It's a lie." Mathilde cried harder as you laughed louder.

"Good." You said, pushing off the staircase railing. "Good."

"It's not a lie." Madeleine said with confidence. "It's the truth." You stopped laughing.

"Well this mission isn't going well." You said then turned to Nomi. "Should we just tell M that they got them before we got here."

"He'll just tell us to go after them." Nomi pointed out.

"Oh." You said, looking back at Madeleine. "Good point. But how are we going to explain her?"

"Tell M the truth." Nomi said.

"Well, that's a first." You said.

"Can I talk to you in private please y/n." Nomi said, eyeing Madeleine.

"Sure." You followed her into a room. "What do you want Nomi?"

"Are you okay?" Nomi asked. "Back there you seemed..."

"Crazy?" You finished the sentence for her.

"Yeah. Crazy." Nomi said, not looking at you.

"I don't know if I'm okay." You said. "Everytime I'm around Madeleine and James I get mad. Then things happen."

"You shot James."

"And I beat up Madeleine."

"They're escaping!" You hollered from the other room.

"Let's check on them." You said and ran into the room. Madeleine was hobbling next to Mathilde as they headed for the door. You raised your gun. "Don't move." They stopped. Mathilde turned to you.

"You're crazy!" She said.

"Not as much as your mother darling." You smiled. Mathilde shivered.

"Don't talk to her!" Madeleine hissed.

"I can talk to whoever I want. I'm free aren't I?" You said. Nomi came up next to you.

"What happened?" She asked you.

"They tried to escape." You said.

"Jeez." Nomi said. "They must hate us that much."

"It's mostly me." You said. "Mieldy the rest of MI6."

"Get out of my house y/l/n! OR should I say Safin?!" Madeleine said.

"That's 008 to you." You hissed, pointing the gun at you.

"So you're a double o." You looked over to see James pointing a gun at you. "Don't. Shoot." He was shot. You looked over at his shooter. It was Nomi.

"Nomi?" You said. "What did you just do?"

"Don't worry." Nomi said. "He's still alive."
