Disclaimer: I own nothing except the story line and OC's.
ATTENTION: I decided I didn't like this intro as much as I thought I did. So I'm completely trashing it with a new one that focused on the HYDRA base more and Sage's connection there. I will post both chapters, and let you guys decide which one is better. Thanks for reading.
Sage POV:
When I was just seven years old my parents died, I know, so cliche. There death was different from most, it wasn't a freak car accident, a plane crash or anything like that. They simply disappeared one day and showed up the next day ripped to shreds, in Europe. You can imagine my confusion when social security handed me over to this school place, where they probed me, stuck a needle in me and then shoved me into a room. I was in what they called a special school, for kids with abilities. You see, I had these powers that were different from most, I could move things and control things all with a flick of my hand. But weirdest of all, I could look inside someone's mind. If I touched someone, skin to skin contact, I could look at their memories, get inside their heads. With this they trained me every day, physically , mentally and socially. Every year everyone in the school would take a test, those who didn't pass it would be kicked out. Since most of the children at the school were orphans that meant we would most likely die out on the streets. I passed every single test, finally making it to the last one. Around eleven years had past since I made it into the school, and I was 18. This last test was to determine if I got into this elite group they kept saying we could get into. But the decrease in students was very apparent. It started off with around 200 students, now there were only ten. I walked into the first class, it was where I was going to take the test.
"Sit down and begin." The teacher said sternly, sitting at the front of the room and sharpening his knife. I walked to the back seat and started on the test, this was the logic and intelligence part of the test, there were five parts in total that we were suppose to complete today. I finished quickly, knowing that this was the easy part and handed it in. The teacher jutted his head toward the next door and I slowly walked to it. When I opened it inside were many computers filled with "crucial" data , we had to hack it. I typed in the virus and the codes, and eventually got the data, being the second one finished with it. Next was more physical, I had to defeat some soldiers without drawing the attention of the alarm. And the the fourth one was a lying test. The last test was the unexpected one, no one knew how to beat it. As I walked in I saw a boy from my school, standing there his name was Chris. There was man in the center of the room, just standing there. He was wearing a black suit, black pants and black leather man turned around but I couldn't see his face, it was covered with a black mask. As I looked around the third place girl ran in behind me, looking around the room. The man in the mask handed me a gun with one bullet.
"Only two are allowed to walk out, and the bullet must be used on someone. Choose wisely, time is ticking. Fail to choose and you all die." Without another word he walked out the door, locking us in. As he left he put something on the table, that was counting down, I had five minutes to choose a life to save and someone to kill, this was the final test. I looked at my gun, it only had one bullet and the two students were looking at me distressed. The first two minutes it was silent, we wondered how the other students did, whether they passed or not.
"Shoot me." The boy said in the corner, walking out of the shadows.
"What?" I asked
"I said shoot me, this is their sick game of a test.I grew up three years dealing with this crap and all for what? I could die at the end? Shoot me, you have to kill one of us." he responded.
"I don't understand why they gave you the choice of the gun. Shouldn't Chris be getting it?" The girl named Becca said.
"If I don't shoot one of you then we'll all blow up." I shouted. The timer was counting down from five now, four, I loaded my gun, three, I put my finger on the trigger, two, I aimed , one , I fired.
