I was getting majorly annoyed by now. We had been fighting for awhile and the stupid agents just won't let up! No matter how many we knock out or injure more just come into the very cramped room.

Eventually, I heard a shot that seemed louder than the other ones, and it was headed for Jamie. My eyes widen as I see it fly far too fast for him to get out of the way or for me to do anything about it. It hits him just under his knee, from the back. Oh crap.

Jamie crumbles to the floor and passes out fast because of the pain. Blood quickly surround his legs, and pools around on the floor.

I clench my fist hard around the gun, not thinking particularly straight. I feel myself run, tracing the shot line to the sniper. I aim.

And I fire.

He desperately tries to avoid it, but instead of clipping his forearm, his attempted dodge made it fly trough his shoulder. The sniper collapses holding his shoulder with his opposite hand.

I am in full rage. I barely notice the dozen guns pointed at my head. And then I do. I put down my gun, trembling with rage.

The butt of the gun come down over my head, and all goes black.

I wake up to a dimly lit room, my arms tied behind me and a gag in my mouth. Humph. I can't even make witty remarks!

I look around, straining my neck to see Jamie across the room, tied up in a similar fashion. I groan. This is such a mess. Then I remember Jamie's knee, and whip my head around again.

He's still unconscious, and his knee bandaged up, but otherwise untended. Crappy SHEILD.

I sigh into my gag and wait.

I stare at the ceiling and back at Jamie and then at the shadowy door.

Then, a SHEILD agent I recognize as my former teacher, Jay Blade. I glare at the man who tried to make me into a monster.

"So. My little prodigy. Flame." Jay Blade sneers.

Flame. My would-be code name had I choose to stay at SHEILD.

He moves a bit closer, and removes my gag. I remain silent, despite the many curses and remarks that are begging to spill out of my mouth, silence is best.

"What? Nothing to say to me? No rant about what an awful person I am not leave your little boyfriend untended?"

I keep my expression relatively blank, and no retort about how he is not my boyfriend comes out of my mouth, as it usually would.

He frowns at me. "Well, Flame. I'll be back in a while, after I go talk with Black Feather over there."

Black Feather must be Jamie's code name. Trained by the bird, named like the bird apparently. I refuse to watch as Jay Blade shakes Jamie awake and question him, then promises to return, like he did me. Man, that dude has a loud voice.

I hear Jay Blade's footsteps come up behind me. I close my eyes, thinking.

"You're in deep aren't you?" My former mentor says quietly.

I can't hold my silence any longer. Next time he says something I swear I'm going to bring him down, get inside his head, something! Ugh!

"Tell me why you're here, Flame."

"Why wouldn't I be here? I was an agent at one point." I say with a false sweetness.

"Hmph. You left half-way through your training."

I grinned up at him, "OH, please. You know I was already better than 50% of the agents, and by the time I was half way done, I was one of the best. Training was basically a formality, and you know it."

Jay Blade chuckled a little, "Yes, but you always hated the assassination training, despite your natural talent."

"Jay Blade?" I asked.

"What, Flame?"

"Why did you want to kill off your own agents, your own prodigy, no less."

He frowns at me. "And how did you figure that?"

I realize that this is not a interrogation, it's more like a game. A very deadly game. If you slip up, you better fix it before your opponent can take advantage of it, or else you end up six feet under.

"You didn't tell them about Huntress. That in it self make it a suicide mission, with them unaware on top of it."

He contemplates this for a moment.

I keep talking, " You really think they don't realize now that you tried to kill them? You sent Black Feather with weapon my father and I invented! You knew that would at very least send me into my potential form, if not my true form!"

Jay Blade glares at me, but then attempts to hide the fact that I had unearthed a part of some plan. The master slipped. Perhaps he's not the master anymore.

I pretend I didn't notice. No use giving him running start on me. I'll get as close as possible before I spring. I am the Huntress, after all.

"You going to tell me why you're here?" Jay Blade asks.

"To save a piece of leverage, don't tell me you didn't know?" I mock him. The best lie is an unbelievable truth.

"Do you really expect me to believe that? Now tell me the truth, little girl."

"Little girl? Really? Do you get beat up by little girls often?"

His face turns beet red. He pulls out a gun from the holster on his hip and points it at my head.

I stare into the barrel of the gun, and raise an eyebrow. He thinks for a moment then points it at my knee. I look at him, exasperated. He points it at Jamie. Just as planned.

I raise an eyebrow once more. He puts a tiny pressure on the trigger. I don't even flinch. I don't even glance back at Jamie. Nothing.

He pulls the trigger, the shot rings in my ears, I don't react. I desperately want to whip around and make sure the warning shot was just that.

I just look at Jay Blade, bored.

"Tell me, or he dies."

He turns my chair around, to see Jamie. He's conscious, and unharmed other than his knee. There's a bullet lodged in the cement wall barely a centimeter from the right side of his head.

He's not even scared, he just looks betrayed, angry.

"Now, Flame." Jay Blade says threateningly.

"We came to retrieve the files that were used to create the guns you manufactured to disable powers. We need the plans to create an antidote of sorts, something to heal from the guns effects then we can figure out the gun's weak points, considering they were improved." I said hurriedly, spilling my fake guts.

He nodded, eating up my lie.
