Our training began.
First, we did targeting and reflexes like always.
After that I should practice my flying, not a long time ago I found out I could fly; but I'm not really good at it but that's why you train right?
The Winter Soldier was meanwhile in the gym next door.

While I was training stopping bullets coming right at me, a guy came in and went in the gym.
He seemed worried..., weelll and I'm a curious person so yk I followed him to the door and eavesdroped.

I heard something about a shield or something but I'm not sure and I understood 'Captain America', what a silly name.
Of course I knew his story, the glorious Captain America who sacrificed himself and saves everyone, pah whatever...

While I was thinking those thoughts, inside the gym it went quiet. I looked through the windows but nobody was in the room! But it has only one door, I thought until then...
I went in and looked around but saw nothing suspicious.
As I couldn't find anything I wanted to try finding them through my mindconnection with tWS (theWinterSoldier) but as I tried I just felt a stinging pain in my head. I knew now that they were mind controlling him again. It hurt so much that I screamed and collapsed on the ground. It stopped but I still had to lay there for a second to recover.
Suddenly I heard footsteps coming from somewhere under-behind me, I stood up a little bit too fast but then I ran back in the training room and acted like nothing happened.
Not a minute too early because two seconds later Strucker, tWS, the worried guy and someone else came into the room.
TWS was wearing his mission-suit, black, a lot of guns everywhere, a mask covering his mouth and nose and something like sunglasses but different.

"What's going on?", I asked, "Why is he wearing his mission-suit?"

"He needs to go again. It is very important. And now keep training, you have to get better!", Strucker answered me. "Alexander will keep an eye on you."
Then they left the room.

I stood in the room unable to move because I felt deceived someway.
Alexander came in but I didn't wanted to train, I wanted to know what was going on!
I needed to get away from Alexander and I already knew how...

I went to the toilets, of course Alexander followed me but just to the door to the girls toilet.
I pretend to take a long time in there and after a few minutes he got impatient and asked if I would be finished soon. I acted like I couldn't understand him and screamed back: "WHAT? YOU HAVE TO SPEAK LOUDER OR COME IN!"
He screamed back but I still acted like I couldn't hear him: "I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU! YOU'LL HAVE TO COME IN!"
He sighed and opened the door. And I was standing right in front of it and as he was face to face with me, I raised my hand with my blue power around it, my eyes glowed blue, then I got into his mind and told him he should forget what happened here, what he's doing here and should go back to his office.

I waited until he was gone, then I grabbed my blue leather jacket again and ran quietly to Struckers office, hoping they all would be there.

I was lucky but a bit late, when I got there they were just leaving the office.
Bent and quietly as possible I ran after them.
They stopped at the 'airport', as I call it it's just the place where our jets are and leave, and started talking about the mission again. This mission seemed very important, maybe different and difficult.
I thought, "If this is such a big mission why let they do it just by the tWS alone? Why can't I help? I mean I can move things with my mind, isn't that useful?"
In this moment I decided something that would change my life forever!
I decided I would sneak in the jet and accompany the Winter Soldier on his mission!...
