I immediately toss my duffel bag onto the next train and jump onto the passing train, landing on my front and rolling a bit before stopping, we hop down the hatch In the top of the other train and land in a completely empty train, all the passengers are gone, I sit down on one of the seats, heart racing has I breathe heavily, having had a miniature heart attack from that jump, Kirk sat across from me and put a hand on my leg

"Ya did good, bad form but you made the jump regardless" He said with a gentle smile, I giggled at the comment and leaned back.

"I'm one of the highest-ranking agents in Wasp and yet I still freak out, I'm a mess." I say as I look up at the ceiling of the train, Kirk chuckles

"We all have our downsides"

"What could yours be? I mean- you're fearless."

"Losing loved ones." He said with a sullen switch In his voice, I put my face in my palms

"I-I'm sorry about reminding you about that." I say with a slight shake in my voice.

"You're fine."
"Y'know, you're really lucky, Noell."

"How so?"

"Well, for one, you still have your parents and girlfriend, even if your mother is in critical condition, you still have her."

"Yet it feels so distant." I say

"What do you mean?"

"I don't have that strong connection with my parents like so many other people, since I never really got to spend time with them.""I feel like I'm chained up and that feeling is just barely out of reach, like it's teasing me."


The train comes to a stop at the next stop, and I and Kirk get off the train, I grab my duffel bag before doing so, we walk up the stairs and into the dark night of the once bustling city of Toronto.
"You don't mind me changing right here, right?"
"Not at all, I won't be looking." He said as he takes off the oversized hoodie, revealing a sort of SWAT uniform. It was black fatigues with orange trim and threads. He also had a Kevlar vest and an operation headset. He reached to his left hand and tugged on it, a rubber coating coming off, revealing a ptrostetic arm from his elbow down. He walks off to a nearby building and leans against the wall as he waits for me to change, I quickly change into my own SWAT-like clothing and call Kirk over
He made his way back over

"That was fast."

I opened my duffel bag and pulled out some guns, we both equipped our share of guns and held our rifles at a resting position. We both had AK-85s. Full auto assault rifles with firing modes, and ball-bearing, armor-piercing rounds.
"You ready?" I ask
"Yep." He responds as he wracks the slide on his 85'. we made our way to the large, quartz megamall overlooking the rest of the city.
I try to take the harmless opening the door route, but the door is locked
"No no, wait for the rest."
"Ah, alright." I respond as I sit down, back rested against the wall beside the door, legs crossed, Kirk leaned against the wall.
After almost an hour of sitting in dark silence, now being near midnight, the rest arrive, about 8 others.

From the Wasp faction: Cam
From Snake: Nathan and, Nathen – ironic I know.
From Cobra came Alex and Kat
From Viper came Aaron
And from Jaguar came Luna and –Ugh- Moaaz.


I stand up and greet the others with a fist bump, except for Moaaz, I skip over him, which clearly hurts him, I don't care.
"Alright team, listen up, we're here to infiltrate a small gang running a tech shop somewhere in this megamall, we need to find it, interrogate them, and put an end to whatever they're doing. Let's go!" I yell, kicking the double doors down to the main entrance of the building as 9 of the 10 of us run in, but Moaaz ended up staying outside, which he thought was a good idea. But as I breached the door his head exploded in a fine red mist. "Cover!" I yell.The others obeyed but Kirk ignored me, standing in the middle of the door. He aimed up and let off a tight 3 rounds. A man tumbles off a bulding nearby and smacks into the ground. "Clear." he seethed.
I look at the gushing body of Moaaz and just mutter "Dumbass."


We turn on our chest flashlights as we wander the building, investigating every corner for a sign of a tech shop, Nathan had slid down the halted escalator's railing, landing on his feet at the bottom, and he found something that confused him, it was a giant beacon-like device, with a purple glow highlighting several parts of it, he calls to the others "Guys! I found something! I don't know what it is though." One by one we all slide down the immobilized escalator and look up at the behemoth of a beacon-like device, I brush my gloved hand across the surface of it, it's scorching hot and super dusty, I pull my hand back in pain from the heat, it had clearly been used recently.
"It's hot, really hot, it must've been used recently." I say, copying my thoughts.
"..But what could it be?..." Nathen asked.
Something from the ceiling snatched Alex and pulled him up out of sight quickly, I turn around to talk to the others, but notice Alex is gone
"...Be on the lookout, 2 of us have been taken out already, keep looking!" I demand as I walk off, the others split up.
Cameron was scanning the place with his flashlight, when he found a small pile of rubble, he looked up to shine his flashlight right onto a giant purple cube, having crushed a small shop somehow, the cube soon began to glow, and started to rotate on one of it's corners, Cameron tried to run but was crushed by the cube, only his hand sticking out from below, I heard the screams from a distance which made my heart sink, shakingly, I hastily pulled out my radio and spoke into it "EVERYONE! MEET BACK UP AT THE DEVICE! ASAP! I REPEAT! MEET UP BACK AT THE DEVICE!"
Minutes later everyone is grouped back up at the enormous beacon-like device. "Okay, this isn't good, 3 of us have been taken out, we need to get out of here" I say
"What about the gang?" Kirk asked
"Forget the gang! They're not important right now!" I bark before I lead everyone to the main entrance, the door is blocked by rubble, I turn around to see a sticky, shiny, thick black goo surrounding us on all sides, Nathan is first to touch the goo, it quickly crawls up his body and covers him completely, before he is fully covered though, he says; "I'm starting to think this may be a problem." Kat is backed up against a wall and is the second to be covered "Get out of here! Qui-" Her speech is cut off, being muffled as the goo reaches her face, Nathen is then consumed, he doesn't say anything, now only I, Kirk, Luna and Aaron remain, I toss a pulled grenade at the rubble blocking the entrance and let it blow up, we all dash out. "We need to go, now."
