Calm. 

Silent.

Fluid. 

Move efficiently. 

End it quickly. 

How easily they break. 

We are not angry. 

However, very deadly.

Each limb crushed beneath our palm. 

The world around is muted. 

But, we hear our name.

As your new creation, how will you react now? What will they see now? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Am I back? 

Are they ok?

My breath is labored from the sheer physical effort. I fight off the dizziness  and dark spots at the edge of my vision. 

There's metal scattered all across the sand from Doc Oc's robo-tentacles and Oc is unconscious amidst the wreckage. The sand finally settles and I see my team staring right at me. Shit.

I straighten up and emotionally prepare myself for this next conversation. Taking a deep breath, I walk over toward Sam and Ava. They take a few steps back away from me.

Ok. New approach.

"Well that't over now. How about we get the beach all cleaned up before Fury yell at us?" I try to play it off as nothing odd.

Danny finally breaks the ice. 

"Those moves are quite similar to those trained by The Hand Spider-man," he starts.

"Were you going to kill him? Cuz that's what it looked like," Sam continues. 

"Man, you've been acting really weird these past few months. I mean, we haven't been a team for long but something's been up," Luke says, mostly summing up their concerns.

Welp. Moment of truth. 

"Well I suppose you guys caught me," I look down at the sand. "I've been trying to find the words--actually that's a lie. I never planned on telling you guys," I look back up at them. "It's been a struggle for me--another understatement--to accept what's happening to me and to be honest, I still haven't fully accepted it at all. It all started when I began to get these weird blackouts. I'd be in the middle of a big fight and then all of a sudden it would be over and everything would be fine. I didn't realize it at first but after my last SHIELD medbay visit with Dr. Connors it all made sense." I takes another deep breath. "This is so hard for me to say and I'm just rambling at this point so here we go: I have DID." I put my heard back down and wait for the others to react.

They didn't say anything.

The SHIELD guys arrive and take Oc away in a holding vehicle and Coulson goes around them to meet us. 

"So now you know," Coulson says as less of a question. I start walking away to change back into my civvies. 

What's done is done I suppose.

Hopefully they'll come around and support me through this. Maybe they'll just see my newly formed assassin personality. Whatever. I did fine on my own and I'll do it again if need be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So here is my rushed open-ended, well for lack of a better term, ending. Make of this what you will. I suppose I could Make a sequel but again as I said: my inspiration for this work has left me and I only finished this because I hate leaving things unfinished. 

Please comment! I would love to hear you guys' feedback! 

So without further ado,

The End
