The Eagle

by A. E. Buhr

Aubrey was 22 when Hydra kidnapped her and began a new project, shaping and changing her mind into something better than the WinterSoldat. She, like the Soldier, became a famed ghost story, known for her silvery wings and talons. But unlike the Soldier, her mind was stronger and learned how to break free from the fog that was put into her mind. Rated Teen for some violence.

43. Chapter 42

The silhouettes of a winged black-clad figure and the silver-armed soldier flashed.

"No..please no...I promise I'll disappear-" The woman's frantic pleading was cut off with a bang.

"Mission report. Now-" The grizzled handler snapped

"Meine Mission ist der-"

"Target eliminated-"

"Dead"

"No trace"

"Gone."

"Accident"

"You are our soldier-"

"The Eagle"

"Our Eagle"

"Spitze, 51, Adler, Blauer Himmel, Auto, Leben, Angst."

[Top, 51, eagle, blue sky, car, life, fear]

"You will take the lives of those we tell you to."

"You are no one, a weapon of our making."

"Hail Hydra" A man walked away, chuckling darkly, his heavy footsteps echoing in her ears.

A wave washed over the poisonous words, the command that took away her humanity. The words fell into the ocean, deactivated, void...Gone.

Leaving not a mindless soldier, not a weapon. But a girl. Leaving her broken...but not shattered.

Leaving her Human.
