Middle east - 1997
Gunshots, air crafts, screams, are all that could be heard from inside of a temple. A man, tied up in a chair surrounded by 4 people dressed in all black with plague masks on their faces. They were shouting at the man in another language when they began counting, it sounded like they wanted information from him, but when he didn't respond, they shot him. Again and again. Until one of them shouted, "Grenade!".
"Sir, get back!" One said as he pushed the shouting man away and ran towards the other man, who was still tied up, jumping on him to try and block where the grenade was going to blow to save the lives of everyone else there. There was a piercing sound as the grenade blew, leaving both men in a pile dead on the floor.
The 4 other people stood up and took their masks off.
"Shit, fucking missed it" said the one previously shouting "How did I fucking miss it?, Merlin... I apologize for putting you in this position, you trained him well."
"James" y/n said "training is over."
"Welcome to Kingsman, Lancelot" the man said
"Sir." Said James
"Me and y/n will deal with this mess, personally." Said the man.
London:
"We very much regret that your husband's bravery can't be publicly celebrated, we hope you
understand" said y/n
"How can I understand? You won't tell me anything" Said a woman, who seemed to be the dead man's wife "I didn't even know he wasn't with his squad."
"I'm so sorry, we can't say more" he said
The woman nodded
"But we would like to present you with this Medal of Valor, and if you look closely on the back, there's a number, as a more concrete gesture of our gratitude we'd like to offer you, um... Let's call it a favor" Said y/n "the nature of it is your choice, just tell the operator, 'Oxfords not brogues', and then we'll know it's you.
"I don't want your help! I want my husband back!" The woman said
*Y/n sighed and walked over to a little boy who appeared to be the woman's son.*
"What's your name, little dude?" She asked him
"Eggsy" the little boy replied, he had a globe in his hand and was gently skating it.
"Hello Eggsy, can I see that?" Y/n reached her hand out to have a look at the globe. She looked at it in complete silence, then placed it on the cupboard beside her, and gave the Medal of Valor to the little boy. "You take care of this Eggsy, all right? And take care of your mum too." She said as she patted his shoulder and stood up. "Best of luck to you too" yn said, and her and the man left.
