(Interview with Bahadur)

*August 25th, 1918*

*4:00pm*

John Claude and Natasha walked towards Bahadur's cell as both of them saw the former assassin who had worn a dirty prisoner uniform and his arms and feet were chained as both were surprised by the new appearance.

"So it seems that you've failed to complete your mission?" John Claude asked as he and along with Natasha had sat down and waited for Bahadur's response.

"I wonder if Bahadur is even gonna speak…"Natasha thought to herself as Bahadur slowly began to speak.

"Yes and the sheer might of those three men who defeated me were too much for me but If you wanna give me a second chance then forget it! I'm fine with rotting in prison for the rest of my life" Bahadur answered back in a serious tone of voice.

"I'm well aware of that fact besides I've already sent Mr Ermakov out to carry on the mission and I do have faith in him" John Claude replied back with a smile on his face as Bahadur's expression became surprised.

"Oh? So you sent out Peter eh? well It truly seems that he might win this ordeal and with his bloodlust and urge to kill. Who knows what will happen to them" Bahadur replied in a surprised manner as he chuckled.

"Very true and I do have some news for you as well. Do you care to hear them?" John Claude said as he raised an eyebrow up while smiling in the process.

"Feel free to tell me," Bahadur answered back. "Maxim the former guard had died and It seems that your wound did quite a number on him so I guess you kinda did win after all hahaha" John Claude said as he laughed a little while Natasha joined in as well.

"It seems that with Maxim's death. Kaede's group seems to have weakened however with that other guy still around. It seems that we still need a smarter approach to take down Kaede and the Romanovs" Natasha insisted as she looked at John Claude.

"Ahhh you must be talking about that young man with the sword right? Well It seems that he's the defense barrier for their group however with Mr Ermakov and the armor that I've built. I firmly believe that Mr Ermakov will crush the group" John Claude answered back with a smile.

"Armor? What the hell are you talking about?" Bahadur asked as he had a look of confusion in his face.

"It's basically a blackish armor but not anything too flashy although it will prove trouble for everyone" John Claude said as he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over to Bahadur.

"Very interesting and are you sure that Peter is gonna complete the job?" Bahadur asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"I fully have faith in Mr Ermakov however you probably are asking why are we visiting you in the first place and the simple reason is to simply update you on the current situation and I know that you have no desire to leave this place but I'm curious to why you have chosen to remain here as opposed to escaping?" John Claude asked as he had a look of curiosity in his face.

"Well you see. I had failed as an assassin and I told you that I had never failed a mission right? So after my defeat at the train which crushed my pride. I allowed myself to be turned in and I knew that my days as an assassin were long gone so I shall spend my remaining days in prison in which I am perfectly okay with my choice" Bahadur answered in a calm manner as he continued to stare at the pair.

"In the possible future. Do you intend to change your mind regarding your choice Mr Bahadur?" Natasha asked as she crossed her legs and continued to jot down notes of the meeting.

"As I already said. I do not plan on leaving and I will stay here until the day I die" Bahadur answered back but in a more serious tone of voice while Natasha simply nodded her head.

"Alright. I believe this is all that we have for you today and fair warning that this is the last time we'll ever see each other but I'm aware that you won't mind correct?" John Claude said as he got up and stretched.

"Yes and whatever happens regarding the Romanov ordeal doesn't matter to me personally however I do have faith that Peter will get the job done at the very least" Bahadur said calmly as a guard walked in and closed the prison cell as John Claude and Natasha proceeded to walk out the prison.

"Bahadur's pride has been crushed. I can tell it by his voice and facial expression and suffering defeat by those Romanovs and just in general must have been hard for Bahadur but I just hope that Mr Claude doesn't suffer the same fate…" Natasha thought to herself as she began to shed tears at the very thought.

"What's the matter, Miss Ivankov?" John Claude said with a smile as he slowly walked up towards her as Natasha blushed.

"U-Um..Nothing Mr Claude…" Natasha answered back as she looked down.

"Your face tells it all but If I was to guess this was to do with me suffering the same fate right? But know that I will win and that I won't ever suffer the same fate as that fabled Bahadur okay?" John Claude said in a calm voice as he hugged Natasha.

"So warm...his scent...his love...everything is just so nice…"Natasha thought to herself as she wrapped her arms around him and hugged back.

"Did anyone tell you that you have the most beautiful smell, the most beautiful eyes, and a very wonderful name Miss Ivankov?" John Claude said as he and Natasha pulled away from the hug.

"T-Thank you Mr Claude..." Natasha said as she smiled as she put her hands over her mouth.

"You're welcome Miss Ivankov" John Claude answered back as he continued to walk while Natasha followed him along.

"Mr Claude's complaints really helped me out and He's right and I should have more faith in him but no matter what happens I shall follow my love in any path! Whatever it's death, prision, or even exile! I shall always be with Mr Claude in any shape or form…." Natasha thought to herself as she stopped walking and looked up towards the sky as the wind breezed around her in the process.

"I never knew how beautiful the Earth can be and I truly hope that me and Mr Claude could fully enjoy the beauty of Earth" Natasha spoke with a smile before running to catch up with John Claude.
