《The hidden warrior》Chapter 14

Right, so it hasn't actually been a great start to this whole camp organisation thing . As soon as the lady left, the guards that were in the room grabbed me, (very harshly i might add) untied me from the chair and handcuffed me again all whilst they started dragging me through whatever building we were in. As we went further into the building the rooms drastically changed from being clean and sterile to being filled with grime and blood. WAIT BLOOD! I was very concerned for my life at this moment, but if i don't time my escape right I might be stuck here forever and so i swallowed the vomit that was coming into my mouth. I mean sure as a vigilante I've seen blood on people, walls, pavements but never have i seen it like it was here. It had dried and was mixed with the grime it looked inhabitable, and the fact we weren't stopping concerned me, because it progressively got worse.
We soon came to a stop, outside what seemed to be a dormitory when they uncuffed me and instructed me to go find the bed with the clothes on, change and meet them back outside the room. They also insured me not to waste my time trying to escape because it would be impossible and would anger the instructors if i was later than i was. This was all said in Russian mind you, and if it wasn't for me being bored and the Menace i would be utterly confused and scared. I also think this is another advantage but only for the time being until they catch on. And so the best option here was to be compliant. I'm sure they'd appreciate that!
When i walked into the room, i realised how neat every bed was. It was military style, not a thing out of place. But they didn't look very sturdy and there was around 80 of them. Another thing that caught my eye was the handcuffs tied to the bed. Why? I mean considering the twists and turns i took to get here, this place is like a maze, you'd probably get caught before you'd escape. Probably not the best thing to think of! Am i currently doubting my abilities? Yes. Am i worried i wont escape? Slightly, but let's see how my first day goes because i might be perfectly ok and I'm over exaggerating! As i looked around further i saw a bed with neatly folded clothes on, and so i went over to them and started putting them on. There was a training top and sports leggings with some trainers at the bottom of the bed. I won't lie they were actually really comfortable, but i wasn't sure where to put my old clothes. There weren't any cupboards and so i folded them the best i could and put them back on the same bed presuming that it would be mine.
As i walked back out of the dormitory the guards grabbed my wrists and started dragging me to wherever i had to be. Uh rude! These guys had a nasty grip, and at first i tried to shove them off but they were too strong for me. I might be able to beat them in combat but in strength i just wasn't going to win, and so i let them take me.
We soon arrived at a room, which was labelled training in Russian. I could hear sparring happening inside, but i was shoved inside before i could think about anything else. Everyone turned to face me, but went back to staring at nothing in a matter of milliseconds. Before i could decide what to do next, that lady from earlier came in and took me by the hand and dragged me in front of everyone, dismissing who was fighting and the instructor.

Now i was expecting to get introduced to the rest of these kids or something like that. What happened next scarred me for life.
Madame B called up a kid named Lily, and i could see a confident glint in her eye. What the hell? Why did she have that look? It wasn't until Madame B said that we would spar that it made sense. One thing that weirded me out was that the rest of the 20 or so girls in the room made a perimeter around us including Madame B and the instructor, so they could spectate, and i was nervous to say the least. I mean i still hadn't completely recovered from getting knocked out earlier! But the other girl was as she came pouncing straight towards me. And in that moment everything around me disappeared as my body went into fight or flight mode. All i could see was the girl attacking me, and so i fought back. I blocked, i dodged and I noticed a weakness in her left arm. This was my advantage. And so when she attempted to punch me again, i grabbed her fist, knocked her knee so she was lying on the floor whilst holding her right hand behind her back. And so she couldn't do anything. And so being the nice person i am I asked her "do you surrender?" Because i need to make sure she's aware that i have won and doesn't try and do anything that might hurt her. But all she replied was "just do it, get it over with quickly". Bro what is this kid on about? "Just surrender and I'll let you up" but i was pushed of the girl, whilst the instructor grabbed the girl. She then gave her to the guards and I'm pretty sure i saw tears slip from her eyes. What in the actual hell is going on? And so i got up off the floor and went to Madame B.
"What the hell was that for. She was gonna have to surrender at some point, why and where did your guards take her? And what did she mean by just do it?"
Now i was expecting a reply, but i got a slap. A SLAP! "You will address me as Madame B, and you need to learn what happens if you do not comply to what is being expected of you. When you defeat your opponent you kill them right there and then. No hesitation! When Lily comes back in, you will kill her, and if you don't you will be killed. It's as easy as that. You may be an asset, but you are replaceable". As i looked around the room, the rest of the girls faces were void of emotion and they were looking down at the floor. But the instructor and Madame B were maintaining eye contact with me, until i looked away. Okay now i was terrified, no wonder my mother was scared and left. I knew that I had to do the same, this was a CULT!
As i was contemplating what to do in order to escape, the girl from earlier came in with a blind fold on. She was shoved to the ground onto her knees, and the unknown instructor of this class came up to me, handed me a gun and pushed me closer to Lily. I could tell even with the blindfold on that she was scared. "Why the hell do I have a gun? I'm not going to kill her, she hasn't even done anything wrong" i questioned. This time i didn't get slapped but punched multiple times by a guard with Madame B repeating that if i don't kill her i die. Now i don't have a clue where my mum is, i need to know if she's safe. She's the only person i have left in this world and i don't know how she'd take it if i was dead. And so with much hesitation and a strangled sob i shot the girl. I won't go into details but she was for certain dead. I would never sleep peacefully again that's for sure. I would be seeing her face in her last moments, when she knew what was coming when i closed my eyes. It was heart-breaking. Her blood was on my hands, and she didn't even do anything wrong! She was innocent! And so i decided that no matter what happened i would not lose my morals. I would never do this again. I won't be brainwashed like the rest of these girls are. And i would not comply to what that psycho leader wanted e to do. I would not be their asset. And that was a promise, and I've never broken a promise in my life and I don't intend to start now.

The team were on their way to the active base that popped up. This mission worried Steve, Bucky, Wanda and Natasha due to their affiliations with Hydra and the the red room. They were all hoping this base wasn't becoming active because that would mean that the two organisation were on the uprisings. And they've personally seen the damage they can do to people. If this base was becoming active how many others were that the Avengers weren't aware of, is what was going through everyone's minds.
The jet landed after around 20 minutes of flying, and the group was careful to approach in case any sudden traps, movements or attacks were made. The base was eerily quiet and spookily so. Everybody stayed alert and was ready to attack, until there was nothing. As the group got closer and Tony and Steve helped open the doors that had been barricaded, but the base itself was empty. There was nobody here, or anything for that matter, but the team decided to do a double take of all levels. Tony even scanned for any heat sources. It was then that Natasha connected the dots "guys what if this base was a fake, so hydra could open up a different base discreetly. I mean why else would it pop on our radar so easily and there be nothing here. They obviously know that we are on their trail"
"That seems to be the case, but if we spend more time here the more time other bases have being active" Steve replied
"Are we sure we've checked everywhere?" bruce questioned.
They had, it was empty, and this did not help Natasha in any way. She wanted...no she needed to prove herself. And without releasing her worries, and pent up anger on Emma she was a mess, but she wasn't going to show weakness in front of the team. And so the team headed back to the tower.
When they arrived Fury was waiting for a mission report. And so Steve told him what happened
"Sir, we arrived at the base, and there was nothing there. We double checked the whole building including the basement and even tony couldn't find any heat signatures". And so after finding out the news, he was not very happy. He was angry, but Nat had a important question.
"Fury, are we still working as undercover teachers or not?"
"No, you are as it will take time to find any trace of another base. But if any of you hear any word of anything related to the mission i expect to hear about it first. Banner and Stark, you will be researching to see of you can find anything. The rest of you, train and be ready. Dismissed"
And with that Fury walked out, whilst everyone went to bed, except Bruce and Tony. But tony never sleeps so it's not a big change, but bruce likes his sleep, so he decided to talk to tony whilst researching to stay awake.
(Letter of the first name of the person who is speaking)
B - "So what do you think of that kid Emma? I hope she takes the opportunity o work for S.H.I.E.L.D. she could work alongside us in the future!"
T - "I mean sure she's smart but she needs qualifications first, and she doesn't seem to be around to get them. I mean you're talking about plans for her future when we don't even know that she's going to have a future. We don't know where she is and last we saw was her facing a giant compare to her!"
B - "we've all tried getting ahold of her family members but nobody picked up, I've also tried to find her with S.H.I.E.L.D but there's barely nothing on her"
T - "i can see why Fury thinks she might be a threat. Not to me, I'm superior but to others"
*bruce slaps tony over the head*
T - "ouch! I have a precious head!"
B - "Tony, there is a genius child that can fight missing, we have no information on her and she could leak our secrets to the world and your making a joke! You are a child Tony!" He said angrily and annoyed
T - "well how about i make up for it by trying to track her, whilst you try and find Hydra bases? That's a fair deal"
B - "fine, but i hope for your sake you don't act childish with this case, because Nat feels guilty already. And it's unfair if you make her feel worse"
T - "fine, but if Emma ever does come and work for us i will challenge her to show who's best" he said seriously
B - "get over yourself Tony" he said laughing
And with that they worked through till early morning chatting to each other until they decided to get some rest due to not finding anything. Even tony needed some, because controlling a classroom had a high demand of patience and energy, 2 things he lacked. Also he wouldn't admit it, but he was annoyed at why he couldn't find anything on Emma. He was infuriated.
