Battle Born

61: Failed Integration

Dr. Randolph sat in his office with Luka as he dug deep in his subconscious to bring Alexei out. What he thought would be a standard procedure to integrate an alter, became disastrous. Alexei came out through the code as he sat looking at Dr. Randolph. "Alexei, are you there?" Dr. Randolph asked. Alexei started to smile as he dropped his head back and chuckled. He lifted his head and looked back at Dr. Randolph. "You know I am." Alexei spoke in a heavy Russian accent. "We have a lot of work to do." Dr. Randolph stated as Alexei played along with the game. He was aware of what Dr. Randolph was doing and Alexei toyed with him for two hours before the alarms in Sector 24 started to go off, alerting the super soldiers as Sandra started to speak. "Gun fire present in the east wing." She spoke.

Analytical started to hide below their desks as the super soldiers started to walk through the hall. They were greeted with Alexei as he came out of the east wing and smiled with a gun in his hand. "Kyle fucking Wheeler. So good to see you again." Alexei stated, his accent strong. "So good to meet all of you right now." Alexei said as he looked around. He pulled something out of his pocket as he heard the guns cocking. He smiled as he showed the cigarette in his hand and lighter. "Calm down. I haven't even started yet." Alexei stated with a smile. He lit his cigarette as he took a puff. He looked down at this clothing. The black fatigues that were normal in Sector 24. "I like this better than the green. Hides the blood better." Alexei said with a smile as he took another puff.

"What's his M.O.?" Gabe asked as he nudged Kyle. "Keep your gun pointed and don't fucking miss." Kyle stated. Alexei looked at him and cocked his head. "Really, against me again? I thought we were friends?" Alexei asked as he kept his eyes on Kyle. He tapped the cigarette, letting ash off in the hall as he let the smoke escape his lips. "We're friends, but you know as well as I do. We love a good fight, but you're really fucking with my job right now and my best friend." Kyle stated. Alexei shrugged his right shoulder, the gun in his hand moving along with the arm as he shook his head and took another puff. He wiggled his tongue in his cheek as he dazed off for a moment. "I will give Novak props where it is due, he has become better than he was, but I can't believe he let you go. You are a pretty thing, aren't you?" Alexei said as his eyes turned to Allie as she came out of Analytical with her gun to join the men. "I remember you very well." Allie stated. "Different body I see. That's why he liked you. You look more like her now." He stated as his eyes set on Billy. "I'd fuck you up, so don't worry yourself." Alexei stated as Billy raised his eyebrow.

"Why are you talking?" Gabe called out. "He's stalling us." Kyle mumbled. "What did he do?" Gabe asked as he looked over at Kyle. "I don't know." Kyle whispered back. General Harding and the superiors came around the corner. "Director Salazar?! This is really a good CIA homecoming, huh?" Alexei stated. "Alexei, whatever you are planning, just stop." Javier stated. "I'm planning to get out of here. You know I don't work well with others." Alexei chuckled. "You smell that?" Parker asked. "Don't tell me you shit your pants." Rory stated. "I smell gas." Parker stated. Alexei chuckled. "You got that right." Alexei laughed as the men started to shout for people to run. Alexei pulled his lighter as he threw it down the hall. A ball of fire erupting as the men shouted to move. Alexei moved in front of the elevator, protecting him from the explosion. The shockwave shattering the glass walls of analytical. The screams of people as the east wing blew up.

Billy dropped his gun and raised his hands as he made a force field to protect everyone. Alexei looked at him and smiled as Billy glared at him. He put his badge onto the sensor as the doors opened to the elevator. "He's going to escape!" Billy shouted as he held his place. "Well get him through the train tunnel. Just hold it right now. We need to get the gas valve shut off!" Javier shouted. Billy nodded his head as he watched Alexei disappear into the elevator. Alexei came out of the elevator, top side as he left the CIA building. "That was easier than I thought." Alexei stated as he started to head out.
