Monika and the others left the room after being debriefed by Six...
No one spoke yet...Most were feeling a sense of shock and disbelief...
Megan turned to Look at Monika...
Monikas face was shadowed...her emotions hidden for now.
They all returned to thwur various rooms or stations.
Megan followed Monika into her room, Monika sitting at her desk that she uses to modify her gadget...
Finally Megan speaks up. "She's alive...I never thought I'd see the day...
Monikas voice is cold when she speaks up. "It can't be her...She'd never work for those monsters...Not willingly."
"These are the same, Monsters", Megan starts. "That commited a chemical attack on a college campus...who says somehow turning one of us to their side isn't within their capabilities...But, your right. She'd never go willingly...Those bastards must have tortured her until she broke..."
"She wouldn't break", Monika hisses, Voice cold as ice. "I knew her better than any of you...She was strong...she would have fought"
"And I'm not doubting that", Megan grunts, cracking her knuckles. "But, we can't just dismiss what we saw. That voice? Its Her's. Believe me Monika...I was just as hurt when we lost Whisper...And I know what she meant to you..."
"...If it is her...", Monika whispers. "Who knows what they did to her to make her this way...the old her might be gone for good..."
"Hey, don't say that", Megan sighs. "We'll get her back...Rainbow has the best medical team possible...they'll find something, someway to get her back..."
Monika grips her favorite screwdriver so tightly that her knuckles turn white. "They better", She says and then takes a deep breath. "But first, they'll interrogate her...You know how Tiana is...whos to say she won't end up dead before the doctors can-"
Megan puts a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, we're talking about a possible brainwashed agent. Tiana won't be allowed her usual...heavy handed methods. As well, you know that whisper always was a soft spot for Tiana...She'll treat her well...Alright?"
Monika sighs. "Alright..."
Elsewhere...
The agent shown in the video, stumbles into a dingy apartment, shoulder covered but bleeding. She gets oit a roll of bandage wraps and tears her shirt off, clesning and wraping the shoulder wound...
"Godamnit", She curses. "That'll have to hold until I can make it to a real hospital..."
She grabs somw takeout from her refrigerator and sits down to eat it, pain coursing through her shoulder...
She takes a moment to put away the odd headset device in a safe place before resuming eating...
Todays mission was a total failure...
"Those fucking pigs...", She curses. "Their aims getting better..."
As she eats she turns on the news on the small tv...Her apartment is mostly bear bones, but has the essentials.
The news is talking about the attack, but annoyingly is only talking about how the succesful efforts of the authoritys thwarted it succesfully...
As her shoulder pulses with pain she digs oit a bottle of pills from a drawer and takes two of them...
They aren't painkillers, they're a medicstion she takes daily...One of the higher ups, a Doctor, told her that she has a disorder that will cause her memories to dissapear if she doesn't take these each day...
She once stopped taking them and got migraines so bad she thought her head would explode...After that, she never again missed a dosage.
When she finishes eating she finally strips off the rest of her white mask uniform and changes into casual clothing...
She puts her outfit in a laundry bag and covers them with other dirty normal clothing...best not to let the public learn her secret via laundry...
She looks over at her "Gadget", As she calls it. Suddenly she gets a migraine...These happen sometimes even if she took her medication...and they're always confusing...
"So whats your Little device their do?""Oh, My device? I-Its nothing special...""Bullshit. Then how is it during training you always somehow know the movements of people through several walls?""Fine...My device picks up on sound currents that get transfered through the air, and translates them for me...""Heh, your smarter than you look""H-Hey! Don't Ruffle my hair, I'm not a kid!"The migraine ends. The woman groans. "Fuck...These damn headaches..."
She collapses onto her bed, and sighs, attempting to sleep despite the shoulder pain...
"This is all for a good cause", She mutters...
Monika sighs as she takes off her R.E.D. and prepares for bed. She looks at a photo on her desk...in it she's sitting a table with a woman thats her age...They both look younger in the photo, in their mid 20's.
She picks up the photo and examinea it, staring longingly...
"(Y/N)...I miss you", She mumbles.
(Sorry for such a long delay in chapters...I'll try to get back to uploading again...So, we learn some things in this chapter. And for those confused about the names, I use the operators real names for their dialouge. Monika is IQ, Megan is Valkeryie, and Tiana is Caveria)
