AN: Hey guys, long time no see. Umm, yeah. We've had major writers block but hey, this one was pre-made so enjoy. Alright, I'll shut up.
Chapter 3: Information
I took a step towards her, stepping carefully as to not make much noise. This action did not bode well on her behalf. She stepped back, a questionable look reflected across her armor. That's when I realized my mistake. Withdrawing from the bars, I hung my head and sat in the darkest corner away from all of them.
"I'm an idiot, why do I have to be so clueless. I find a rendition of her and immediately assume the worst. Why does my brain work this way..." Quietly muttering to myself, I ignored the look I got from Gwen, no, Carolina. Glancing up, I saw that she hadn't moved from her spot. Her visor showed the small amount of the shock and confusion that she was really feeling. The body language she was giving off was telling me that she wanted to run, the Director saw that too.
"You may leave, Agent. Now, we have some questions for you." Carolina left the room. My body was betraying me, shutting down from her not recognizing me, us. The Counselor spoke. I ignored him.
"Agent Wash-" I cut him off,
"I'm not answering any more questions till I see her. I need to make sure she's okay." My voice became hard and stern once again. Like switching personalities on a dime. The Counselor opened his mouth in protest, only to be shushed with a single gesture from his CO.
"Washington, we will oblige by your demands, but once she wakes you must tell us everything. Is that understood." This comeback earned a hard glare from me. He still thinks he can control us, he'll learn soon enough.
"Yes, I understand. But I cannot ensure that she will be as ecstatic about the situation." With a nod an unseen soldier opened the door, giving me a look that said 'if you touch my CO I won't hesitate to kill you'. I felt the same way. Standing from the corner, I stepped through the doorway.
With the Director leading the way I could see that I was easily a head taller than him. Chuckling quietly to myself *Man, this is going to be great.* Rounding the corner to the Medical Ward, I noticed it was almost the exact same since my last visit. The walls were still bleach white, cots lined up against one wall each with a chair beside it. The lights were dimmed to accommodate the single patent at the time. Odd.
Picking up the pace, I rushed to her side. She was only in her dark under armor as they had to remove the complicated structure of the Gen. 2 Mark VI armor that both of us shared. Quickly, I did a visual check to see that she was unharmed.
True to their word the medics did a fine job of cleaning up after what the battle had done. Sighing with relief, I sunk down into the chair, simotainiously removing this stuffy helmet. Holding her hand, I gently stroked it with my thumb in a soothing manner. A wave of calm came over me, it must have had some visual effects, the Counselor started to write something on his tablet. Ignoring this intrusion, I focused on Carolina, my Gwen.
A voice interrupted my thoughts,
"Agent Washington," a deep southern accent filled the space around us. Instinctively my head snapped in its direction,"You have now seen her so if you would return to your cell, we can proceed with the questioning." Anger flared up inside me, threatening to break free and let the other side of me, the one that they shattered, free. Turning away I unclenched my fist, the anger must have done that on its own. Taking the now free hand, I stroked her blood red hair, feeling her lean into the embrace I spoke my final thoughts to him.
"I am no longer your Agent, and neither is she. What makes you think you can still order us around, I have no idea. But for the time being I say, get out of here before Gwen wakes up, cause she's gonna break down if she sees anyone besides me." We shared a short glare full of hate and anger. "And just to make sure you take a hint, I'll tell you this. Everything you're doing, everything you're going to do, pushes away the people closest to you. When that happens, you get what I've become. A monster. So if you would please, Sir, fuck off."
AN: *squirms excitedly* I just LOVE that last part. Little David showing up the Director like that, just, ugh I LOVE IT SO MUCH! *ahem* Sorry, haven't read this in awhile. Anyway guys, have a wonderful day and I'll see you in the next update.
