Lenna walked down the school hall, towards team RWBY's room. She slowly knocked on the door "Yo Blake are you in"? The door opened and the secret Faunus let her in. "What is it Lenna?" she asked. "You were White Fang right?" Lenna asked. Blake's fingers danced on her bed sheets as she found her answer "yes". "Then we can talk about this" said Lenna "when you were; a member, did you ever hear about an Agent Black". Blake looked nervous for a few seconds "only rumors; why"? "That was me" said Lenna. "What?" Blake was shocked; or at least trying to be "but your supposed to be a ruthless killer; not a schoolgirl". "It wasn't my will" said Lenna. "What do you mean?" asked Blake. "They did things to me" said Lenna "terrible things. They bent me to their will through torturous means. When I broke free a block was put in my mind so I would forget what they did. That block is broken and the memories are flooding back; haunting me to the extent I can't even sleep". "Well what do you want me to do about it?" asked Blake. "Not like I can go to a counselor about this" said Lenna "you're the only person who I can get all this off my chest to. Please Blake; I need to be at peace". Blake seemed nervous at first, but quickly masked it "okay then. Let's start with sorting your memories out. Where does it begin"? Lenna laid down on another bed and composed herself. "The first thing I remember is the first home I ever knew" she said "a White Fang cell. They did many things to break my will; electro shock, water boarding, the works. Eventually I lost all self-control; I was puppet, a tool. All saw me as such except for one; and if not for her I may have never broken free".
The scene is a small windowless room. The room had a prison cell feel to it; as all it had was an old cot, a rotting wooden crate and an exposed toilet with the only piece of privacy being a tattered shower curtain. Lying on the cot was Lenna; sleeping in her poor excuse for a bed. The door slammed open and Lenna as if on instinct woke up and shot to attention as the Fang entered. It was a familiar face to her, as it was the man who gave Lenna her name, the one who "trained" her, and the one who controlled her. He stood over her for a few seconds and noticed she was crying in her sleep. "Jasmine" she whimpered. "Agent Black?" said Adam "where you napping"? "Yes sir" said Lenna "I thought". Adam let loose and slugged her in the jaw, sending her to the cold concrete floor. "You don't think of anything unless I tell you to" said Adam "you sleep when we let you sleep; you eat when we let you eat, and you kill when we let you kill. Do I make myself clear"? Lenna struggled to stand and eventually returned to her feet "clear sir". "Good" said Adam "now head to the briefing room where my partner will give you your assignment". "Yes sir" said Lenna. She waited until Adam let her leave before walking down the hall. The place was an underground complex; Lenna's room was a holding cell in the brig. The situation room was simple in nature; it was a round room with a few chairs and a table with a map. In the room looking at her scroll was Adam's partner B***e. "Hello Jasmine" said Lenna "what are my orders"? B***e snapped in shock and turned to Lenna. "My name is not Jasmine" she said "and stop saying that name they'll punish you". "But that is how I learn Jasmine" said Lenna "they punish me and I learn. Do not worry as it is for the greater good of all Faunus". "But what they did to you is wrong" said B***e "they took your free will, your life; and away from Jasmine". "But you are Jasmine" said Lenna "you care for me like Jasmine would; and I do not know what you mean. My purpose is to fulfil the wishes of my handler and save my kind from the evils of humanity". Adam finally came into the room and looked at his girls. "Agent Black" he said "did B***e give you the details". "No sir" said Lenna "Jasmine did not give me the details". Adam slammed Lenna in the jaw again, putting her in the ground again. "We have been over this" said Adam "what is her name"? "She is Jasmine" said Lenna. Adam kicked Lenna in the gut as she struggled to get on her knees "what's her name"? "B***e!" screamed Lenna "her name is B***e"! "Good" said Adam "and forget about that name already. That name is nothing too you". "Yes master" said Lenna as she got up. "Now for your assignment" said Adam "B***e; give Black the details". B***e somberly used her scroll to put a holographic image above the table. "I believe you know of Castleton Conway correct?" B***e asked as she projected and image of the man up. "Yes mam" said Lenna. "Castleton was once an ally to the White Fang" said Adam "he helped us gain political ground and equal rights for our people around the world, but that was for the old White Fang. When we turned to more productive methods of reaching our goals he denounced us and cut off support. He has gone soft for such a brutal despot. He has betrayed us and must be punished". "What are my orders?" asked Lenna. "Simple" said Adam "we still have some operatives in Conway that have yet to be expelled from the city. They can get you into the city with a fake ID. You will then infiltrate the royal palace through a window here in the royal bedrooms". "But what if that is one of the rooms of the royal triplets?" asked Lenna. "I accounted for that" said Adam "one is currently missing and the other is locked away in his room at night". "And the third?" B***e asked. "Black can deal with him as she sees fit" he said "this means you will either be entering through the empty bedroom or the occupied one, as the third has no possible entry". "I am willing to take such risks for my people" said Lenna. "Your loyalty is not in question" said Adam "only your ability to carry out your mission. Which is to assassinate Viscount Castleton; Countess Sapphire is a secondary objective and is to be killed if the mission will not be compromised". "It will be done" Lenna bowed. "Good" said Adam "here are your tools and as usual you will return them when the job is finished". Adam placed Lenna's two revolvers on the table and exited the room. Lenna sheathed her weapons and was about to leave before B***e stopped her. "Remember what I said" she told her "you should have a choice Lenna". Lenna coldly turned towards her and said "whose Lenna?" and left B***e alone in the room.
It was a cold Conway night; the snow fell hard in clumps despite it being summer in the rest of the hemisphere. Lenna had pressed herself against a roof of a nearby house as she observed the Royal Palace. Unlike the intel she was given, it was not as guarded as she was told. Only a few guards at the front gate, a few in the back yard and only one in a watchtower across the street. When the moment came that the guards had their attention elsewhere she leaped onto the side of the house; her body contorting with the side of the pagoda style home. She noticed the nearby window was barred. She peaked inside and saw Castleton's heir twisting in his sleep as if having a nightmare. She remembered his face in case command ever wanted her to come back to finish the bloodline. She went to the next side of the house and looked through the other window. The room was empty; it was kind of a girl's room but tomboy in nature. She was tempted to use this as her entry point but was afraid if the occupant was out getting water or using the bathroom. She went to the next side of the house and found another window and looked through it. This room looked like it belonged to a warrior, as it was decorated with pictures of warriors and heroes from times long ago. She saw a punching bag, a large locked crate, and a broken great sword on a table. This one was also empty, but she was cautious and looked for any other way in. She went to the fourth and final side of the building and looked into the last set of windows. This room was empty as well but of everything; as if considered for a fourth child that never came to reality. She wanted to check her last entry point before making a move. She remembered on the top floor was one room; the royal bedroom. She leaped up to the roof above and clung to the siding as she slowly move towards a window. She looked inside and saw Countess Sapphire alone in bed and above the bed in a glass case was the most famous sword in Conway; Ramsious. If she had time she should take the prized sword as a trophy when she was done. She was tempted to enter into the bedroom and snuff the life out of Sapphire while she slept, but what if Castleton came and interrupted; it would be game over. She decided on her point of entry. She went back to the floor below and went to the vacant room. She used a glass cutter to open the window and get inside. She was right in picking this room as it was obviously unoccupied. She slowly opened the door and peeked out. She knew that there was no roof in the center of the house leaving a hole going down to a shrine on the first floor. There was no guards on the balcony or anybody to be found so she went out and looked below. At the shrine praying was her target; alone and unarmed. She went to the stairs and quietly went down the wooden steps. When she reached the bottom Castleton hadn't acknowledged her presence. A silence kill with her axe would give her time to move on before people notice what's wrong. She drew her weapon as she slowly approached him. "Lovely home isn't it Lenna?" said Castleton. "Excuse me?" said Lenna. "My house" Castleton turned to her "you had a pretty thorough tour did you not"? "Stop playing games" said Lenna "I am Agent Black and in the name of the White Fang I am here to put you down". "I don't see an Agent Black" he said "I see Lenna Nera; a young Faunus girl who went missing when she was eight and never seen again". "I was warned about your silver tongue" said Lenna "I am here for justice". "Is that Lenna or Agent Black talking?" Castleton asked "I'm confused". "Shut up!" Lenna screamed "I don't know who this Lenna is and I don't care. I am here to deal the cold justice of my people upon you". "I know who you are Lenna" said Castleton "you are Agent Black; responsible for the deaths of those opposed to White Fang. But there was a time before all that; when you were a young girl with a family and had a life. I can give you that life back if you let me". "My life is with White Fang" she said "to serve my master and his cause". "Your master does not care for you" said Castleton "your bruises on your face are clear as day. You need people who care about you not those wo use you". "Like Jasmine?" said Lenna "Jasmine always cared for Lenna, but whenever Lenna thinks of Jasmine she gets punished. Lenna is not allowed to think; only master is allowed to think". "Yes people like Jasmine" said Castleton "you can have people like Jasmine if you come with me. I'll give you the family you deserve; and protect you, not hurt you". Lenna seemed to be in the middle of a breakdown; a mass of nervous twitches and spasms. "Lenna would like people like Jasmine" said Lenna "but master says she must obey". Lenna leveled the barrel of her revolver at him. "Make the right choice" said Castleton "and you will live a better life free from your master". Lenna froze for a second; she grabbed both her weapons and threw them away from her. "Hurry up" said Lenna "before Lenna changes her mind". "Good choice" said a voice. A tall armored young man was behind her withe crossbow leveled at her. "Restrain her Tuscan" said Castleton. Tuscan cuffed Lenna and let go of her. Instead of reacting in a hostile manner; she fell to her knees and cried out "Jasmine I'm sorry"! Castleton kneeled in front of her and embraced the crying girl. "This is the first step in a long road" said Castleton "you'll have the family you always deserved and the free will every living being cherishes".
"He took me in" said Lenna "he fixed my mind and gave me control back. In the process of rehabilitation there was a memory block placed so I would not relive what they did through my memories". Lenna looked to Blake to see she was smiling at her. "You certainly have come far" she said. "I feel so much better" said Lenna "but there was something different about this. I remember many of the people who programed me when I was in the White Fang. The name Jasmine keeps coming up; even though I know the girl who I called that name was not her". "Then what was her name?" Blake stuttered. "I don't remember" said Lenna. "What will you do?" asked Blake "if you ever find her"? "I would thank her" said Lenna "I barely remember what she looked like and forgot her name but if we ever meet again, I'll thank her. It was thanks to her and Castleton that I was able to break free". "Can I say something?" asked Blake. "Yeah" said Lenna "what is it"? Blake was silent for a few seconds; she knew what she wanted to say but was too scared to. "The name Jasmine comes up alot in your memories" said Blake "maybe finding what Jasmine is will give you closure". "Your right" said Lenna "I need to find out who this Jasmine is and what she means to me. Listen Blake I appreciate the talk we had just now; but are you okay"? "I'm fine" Blake said defiantly. "Okay" said Lenna "thanks for the talk". Lenna waved goodbye and left the room. "The one thing I did right back there" said Blake "but the less she remembers; the better".
