Agent Texas was inhuman, thus inevitably unbeatable.
In Agent Carolina there was a fire so great that almost any variable not acting in her favor was devoid of impact, and as the years went on experience and confidence only aided her success.
She had a knack for improvisation as well, but Agent Delaware had something else entirely, a creativity bordering on strange that, combined with a seemingly endless luck, had made for a striking effectiveness.
Which, of course, was not to say Delaware lacked skill, for in fact xe was an excellent fighter and possessed every ounce of gifted stature that Carolina had to make up for in speed and accuracy. Truly, when it came to certain things they may as well have been the same soldier. And what a grand soldier that would have been, perhaps it would have been better like that.
But Del and Carolina were very different people.
Alright so this story came from me wondering A. if Carolina had truly gone her entire career in Project Freelancer as the undisputed best agent until Tex came along, and B. what kind of person could have rivaled her and how that rivalry would have ended. It will probably be pretty short, as I won't drag out individual events longer than they have to be. Thank you for reading!
