So finally, here it is. My rewritten story about Vincent's thoughts. It's all from Vincent's POV. How I interpret his behavior this season.
Thanks to all that reviewed my first version. I do appreciate your comments very much. I hope you are not too disappointed in me, taking that story down. But it didn't feel right. I hope you will like my new take. Please review!
I'm so confused. Today must be the strangest day I have ever had. Here I am, lying on a bed, with the most beautiful, petite brunette in my arms. I don't know who she is, but it feels so right with her in my arms. How did I end up here?
This morning I woke up, full of energy. Today I would finish my mission to kill Li Zhao. I had planned it for a while, set everything up. So I let myself get captured, and brought to an abandoned warehouse, where I was tied up in handcuffs made of alloy steel and titanium. And the plan worked. Li Zhao arrived, looked at me, teasing me for being tied up, telling me he had made me. That he knew what powers I possessed. Telling me how FBI had come to him, asking him to create a super soldier. Creating me. He was all snug and victorious.
He was wrong. I broke free and killed his guards, and I almost had him. And then this woman suddenly cried out my name. And I couldn't focus on Li Zhao. I had to turn and look at her. But I didn't know her. That distraction was enough for Li, and he got away, and I threw a can after his car in frustration over being disturbed like that. I started running for the woman, to kill her for what she did, but suddenly I felt a sting. A tranqdart had hit me. So I turned to catch whoever shot me, and I was hit with another dart. I dodged, trying to get to them from another angle, and I was hit by a third dart, and I had to cave in. That woman ran up to me, all relieved saying things that made no sense: Vincent, thank god I found you, I never stopped looking for you. And all I could say was: Who are you? And then everything went black.
When I came to, they had moved me to a place I didn't recognize. This smoking hot brunette looked at me, and helped me back on the sofa, when the dizziness made me almost fall. And she asked if I remembered her. And I had to say no. Then she pointed at a man that stood beside her and asked if I knew who he was. So I said: Your husband? And they looked very strangely at each other, almost shaking their heads. I told them they must have mixed me up with someone else. I couldn't stop myself from telling her that I thought she was smoking hot though…
I got up, and tried to make it for the door when the man showed me a photo. He told me it was taken 11 years ago, and it was me and him on it. He told me we had been friends very long. But I don't remember him at all. Then the woman, Catherine had to go, and the man JT promised her that he would make sure I stayed. Like he could make such a promise…
I had a look around the place and asked him about it. A bit strange to have a room full of small safe boxes. He told me that the house used to be a Gentlemen's club, and had been abandoned for many years, and when he, and apparently I, at that time needed a new place to live, we just moved in. I didn't really like the sound of that, and JT was clearly uncomfortable at my stare. Then his phone went off, and it sounded like someone had dialed the wrong number. Until he said: Condor, no there's no Condor here. Condor, that's me. So I had to leave. JT tried to stop me, threatening to tranq me again. But I just smiled, and with my super-speed I just took the gun from his hand, and shot him with a tranq instead. And then I left.
I had to go back to my boathouse and call my handler and give a report over the situation. I told him that I was interrupted by a woman, but that I was still going to kill Zhao, as requested. He seemed to be satisfied with that statement. I had to go back to the warehouse, in order to pick up Zhaos trail. It was easy, and I started to follow his tracks. It led me downtown. There are a lot of noises, but I had no problem following his tracks. Suddenly I was distracted again. From somewhere behind me there was a heartbeat that caught my attention. I don't know where it came from, or whose heartbeat it was, so I just shook it off and continued to track Zhao. I found the building where he was, and went upstairs. There I had to kill his guards, and I finally stood face to face with him again. And he yelled at me, asking who I was working for. I just snarled at him, ready to move in for the kill. And then I hear Catherine calling my name. What was she doing here? Her voice sounded like she was choking. I tried to disregard her, and go after Zhao again, but she silently cried my name out, coughing, and I just couldn't leave her like that. I had to do something. I don't understand why, I just had to. And then I saw that the fire was spreading towards some gas tubes, so I just grabbed her, and jumped out of the window with her in my arms. When we landed I thought she would be terrified, I had just jumped an 8 story building and she just smiled at me. Telling me that this is how we met. I just stared at her. She told me that the first time we met, I saved her life.
She made me take her home, I had a wound on my neck that she wanted to attend to. Not that it was necessary, but I was intrigued by her. She told me to sit down, and I tried to refuse, but to no avail. She cleaned the wound and told me that I used to have self-healing abilities. And then she said something about us getting to fall in love with each other all over again. I told her I was sorry that I couldn't remember anything, and she asked me if I believed her, about us, and somehow I do. Her reaction to me, and what I did wouldn't make sense unless she was telling me the truth.
Then she started to ask me a lot of questions about what I do, and I told her I can't answer those questions. She got up and to the kitchen, and then she turned back to me, almost crying, asking why they couldn't leave me alone, why they couldn't stop hurting me, stop hurting us. I couldn't answer that. She said she would help me catch Zhao, but not tonight. She made me promise that I would stay with her tonight. She was standing so close to me, and I just couldn't help myself. I had to lean in and kiss her. Her lips simply demanded me to do it. And it felt so good. And I wanted to kiss her again when her phone received an sms. She looked at it, and suddenly she started crying. She walked into my arms, hugging me and telling me she had lost so much. That she couldn't stand loosing me again.
That's how I ended up on her bed. We've only been lying here, close together, and she is asleep now. I will have to go. I have a mission to complete.
