The dark room slowly fills with other girls. There weren't as many as at the beginning, the blonde twins were here, and a black-haired girl.

Before that there had been about twenty of us. Now only four. However, not all the time was up yet, and there were definitely a few that hadn't been tested yet.

My thoughts went back to the woman who tested me. The image of her sitting in front of me burned into my head.
I could only stare at one spot the entire time.

The image repeated itself the entire time. How could I do that? Was I a monster, or was this justified? Could this act be justified? Shatter someone's eyeball?

I slowly started playing with my fingertips. How nervous I suddenly was. The whole time the adrenaline had overshadowed my fear. Although I could hear my father's voice again; 'If you show others that you are afraid, they are in control, not you.'

My bottom lip started to tremble and my shoulders shook at the thought of what could happen right now.
Or it might not happen.

With the next class five more girls arrived. I didn't know their names, and to be precise, I didn't know if it would matter later.

I looked around briefly and noticed that the steel door was slowly opening. The Winter Soldier came through Masquerade, with the old geezer behind him.

"My chosen ones! From now on you are my everything...!"

Goosebumps spread all over my body at the disgusting words of the man in front of me.
"Sit down, sit down!"

I felt the machine gun at my back and immediately got up. Sweat broke out all over my body and there she was again. The fear.

We sat down on chairs prepared in front of us in the room.
I briefly looked to the left and my eyes caught sight of two more chairs that were unused.
So there were more girls who didn't make it into the selection... death, I suspected.

There were many televisions in front of us, which were now switched on.
Black and white films that I actually only knew from my mother's old film collection.
It said there; Introduction.

"Here you will learn everything you need to know about life. Forget everything you know and learn everything again. You will be taken care of here and this will be your new home."

No. This was all a lie. Or? Or did I just have to accept this as the new truth? Was I even allowed to believe in anything else?

"Your task will be to satisfy HYDRA!
Welcome to reality!"
