All Of Me (Peter Parker x Reader)

Chapter 19

"Beat it Blood!"

"But I'm telling you, I can handle it! If anyone should get a chance to kill her, it should be me!"

"I said no!"

Katherine stomped down the halls of HYDRA, trailing after the Sergeant Major as he walked away from her. It had been a few hours since (l/n) had been added to the ill list, and the very first person to sign up for the job was none other than Agent Blood. And she was... highly insistent, to put it simply. The moment came when (y/n) was finally put up on the kill list, she'd been going around like a woman on a mission (so to speak).

"I came second in my class at the academy, survived solo missions for two years now, and I specialize in stealth. That's what you need for fucks sake!" she growled as she gritted through her teeth.

The Sergeant Major stopped abruptly, causing Katherine to nearly crash into his back before he turned around and looked down at her. The blonde backed up, her heart beating a little bit faster as he glared at her. Her throat went dry and her hands trembled the slightest bit, making her put her hands behind her back.

"Blood," he spat out like it left a bad aftertaste in his mouth. "We don't need you. There are plenty of perfectly capable and experienced agents here that at least stand a resemblance of a chance against (l/n). And I'll send them instead," he said in a low voice, his harsh words rumbling like thunder and striking Katherine like lightning.

Her green eyes seemed to glaze over with a familiar sense of hatred that she'd felt before. The kind that festered and boiled in every part of her body until all she wanted to do was let it out in the most horrifying, grotesque, and goriest way possible.

As Katherine began to steadily breathe harder through her nose, The Sergeant Major turned away and began to resume his walk down the hall.

In an anger-driven haze of judgment, she ran after him. "Then who is? I'll join them," she said, trailing after him.

The Sergeant Major sighed as he walked a bit faster, his fists clenching tighter by the second. "You're testing my patience, and that's never a smart thing to do," he snarled, not even bothering himself with turning around to look at her. "When will you realize that you'll never be on the same level as everyone else? They will end up beating you on the cold. Hard. Ground. Because, that's where you started, and that's where you'll end. And more than that, I'd bet my bottom dollar that you wouldn't last a whole day before you'd end up dead in a ditch. We don't need stealth, we need skill, which you lack at the moment," he snarled at her.

How long was this goddamn hallway, anyways?

Katherine's feet seemed to refuse to take another step, her legs becoming stiff. Her heart squeezed itself as she listened to his words. A wave of sadness washed over her, her throat clenching as she tried to keep from yelling out. "If not me, then who!" she yelled as the gap between her and The Sergeant Major grew with each second.

"Ms. Elor. She's actually qualified," he stated rather simply.

"And if she isn't?" Katherine asked, her voice steady, yet wavering as she finished the question.

For the second time that day, The Sergeant Major stopped, and turned towards her. But instead wearing a scowl on his face, he wore a pleasant expression, like he had a small vision of happiness.

"If by some, uhh, miracle, Ms. Elor fails, then you'll get your chance... But I don't think you'll live through it," he said. And with that, he turned around and walked away.

Katherine stood alone in the empty hallway, staring dumbly into space.

Great, first chance I get, and they send one of the top agents after her. That's fair, she thought.
