Part.2. (The Spy)

Her name is Elisabeth Braddock, Betsy for short; her code name is Psylocke. She is a mutant, a telepath; one of the few not under Apocalypse's control. She works for the Human High Council as a deep cover agent; which is what led to her getting captured two years earlier and having her consciousness swapped into the body of an Asian ninja by Henry McCoy, better known as Beast. How she escaped and made it back to England, she can't really remember, but Val Cooper, who escaped with her, claims that Magneto himself had freed them.

Here she is, again, back in the United States, on a mission to free the prisoners from the Breeding Pens. She has spent the last two months scoping out the Pens, and has finally decided to make her move tonight. Sneaking in hadn't been a problem, but freeing the prisoners would be hard. She was going to need to make her way to the control room, use the automated defenses to eliminate the guards, and then open all the cells, before leading everyone out and to the waiting boats she had hidden down river. From there they would rendezvous with a waiting submarine just off the coast.

She is currently wedged, in the shadows, next to the ceiling, in the corner of a hall that would lead her to the control room. She had been expecting the guard to patrol past here five minutes ago, but he still hadn't come. She is starting to wonder if something has gone wrong, and maybe she should abandon the plan for tonight, and come back another night, when she hears footsteps. As she listens closely, she realizes that she can actually hear two sets of footsteps, coming from either hallway. They converge right under her and start to argue. She is too focused on maintaining her balance, that she doesn't pay any attention to their conversation. She shifts her leg slightly, hoping that the movement goes unnoticed; she isn't that lucky.
