It's Been A Long Long Time

Chapter 1

"Hail Hydra"

You scan your fake security badge at the entrance to the base and walk past the first layer of guards.

"Hail Hydra"

Dressed in a dark pencil skirt and a white blouse, you looked like any other tech intern.

"Hail Hydra"

You adjust your thigh holsters and knife hidden in your french twist as you make your way down the halls.

"Hail Hydra"

You sit down at one of the desktops in a room full of computers. Subtly inserting a flash drive, you immediately begin upload your virus.

"15 seconds to load"

the screen read. Perfect. You sip coffee out of a nearby mug before walking out of the room.

"Hail Hydra"

You had exactly 8 and a half minutes before your security clearance badge would fail, and 15 minutes before the weapons lab would self detonate. Just enough time to get in and out with a little fun on the side.

"Hail Hydra"

4 minutes..

You make your way to the preplanned exit. Taking down bases was getting too easy you smiled to yourself.

2 minutes..

You decide to quickly raid the breakroom and grab some donuts on your way out.

Tooo easy

30 seconds.

You check your pocket watch and sigh

"Intruder Alert. Base has been compromised. All personnel to their stations until further notice." The lights begin flashing red as people quickly walked to their stations. You shove the last bit of the donut in your mouth and click the spotify app on your homescreen, hacking into the wifi.

Finally

The sounds of Theiving Maggpie float through the PA system, replacing those boring sirens. A young agent around your age advances down the hallway towards you with a gun in his shaking hand.

Aw poor thing, must be his first time.

You quickly walk towards the kid, deflecting the gun so it shoots out the lights. With an easy blow to the coradid artery, you're back on schedule.

How boring.

Discharging a round of heat signature targeting bullets into the oncoming flood of confused agents, you calmly walk through the lobby of the fake insurance agency front.

5 minutes until detonation

You hear shots ringing out behind you as the doors are locked from the inside. As 5 agents close in on you, you reach for your phone again and switch to a higher frequency, clashing with their standard issue earpieces.  Now that's more like it! You pick the locks and slide out of the doors just as the lockdown bars slide into place. You smile sweetly and wave at the trapped guards as you hop onto the parked motorcycle out front.

The building detonates behind you and you get a notification on your phone:

Wifi connection lost

"Hail Hydra"
