WARNING: Talks about rape, but nothing even close to that happens.

Update: 7/7/19 to add translations

The mission was simple. Find the targets and kill all but the last five. Most were easy to find since they did not even leave the holding cell. Only eight of them bother leaving the room; only four ran.

Eliminating the targets was quick and easy. The last five were all in the main building. One didn't even hide, just a girl running away. Since that girl was one of the five, the winter soldier only knocked her out before one of the nearby guards carried her to the examination room.

The next target he found was hiding in the cabinet along with another boy while the scientists worked. There was no need to ask where the boys were, for their loud breathing and whispers was more than enough. They were willing to follow one of the guards to the examination room.

The second to last target was another boy who hid in the washroom. The shower next to him was being used, which covered the sound of him crying. He also needed to be knocked out and carried.

The last target ran further than the three boys, and the winter soldier had to actively search for her. What gave away her hiding spot was the lack of dust on the vent cover. When the winter soldier tore the cover away like paper, he saw the girl looking like she was moments away from bolting.

"Come."

The winter soldier didn't know if she was one of the subjects who understood the langue, but after only a moments hesitation, she climbed out. He watched as the target hanged from the vent before falling clumsily onto the ground. The winter soldier left before she was back on her feet, but she was able to run and catch up. He needed to go back for his next mission, so there was no need to find a guard to take the subject to the examination room.

With the game now completed, the halls were back to their normal occupation level. Meaning one monitoring the halls out of sight. Even with the winter soldier walking, the subject had to jog to keep in step with him.

When they arrived, the winter soldier took his spot by the doorway and waited. The subject hesitated for a moment before looking resolved and stepping further into the room where the doctor was waving her over.

"Took you long enough. Was this one causing you any trouble my little wolf?"

"No sir," the winter soldier told his commander.

"Well, give me the mission report. I want to start the training as soon as this one is finished."

And so he did. The winter soldier explained what each target did, and how he eliminated all but the last five.

"The last one was in the vents? How did she even get up there?"

The winter soldier stayed silent, since that was always a better option than saying that he didn't know.

"I'll check the video later. Come, I have another assignment before we freeze you."

The examination was painfully normal. I keep expecting huge needles with glowing liquid while the doctors did an evil laugh, but instead, it was like the physical I had to do in high school for sports. The only difference was that the doctor and nurses didn't talk to me, and hardly to each other. It was weird, but it also made me wonder how these people got involved. Were some of them forced and manipulated until they no longer thought about leaving?

Honestly, I'm not sure if it was better or worst thinking of them like that.

Only a few minutes passed before they were done, and an unremarkable guard led me to a new place. I was trying my best to map out the building, even going as far as to start my runscript and have my avatar run through it. Still, this place looked huge and there weren't even windows for me to check and see if I was above or below ground. It was looking like my only chance at escape would have to develop my apparition further. But that might take time that I don't have.

The new room I was led to looked more like a bunker then a jail cell, though not by much. I was relieved to see that Feliks and Sandra where there, but it didn't last long. Sandra was sporting a black eye and Feliks was curled up with his head in between his legs.

There were also two other boys, ones that I recognized as the small handful that understood Rusian. They were sitting on the same cot looking completely scared.

There was no sign of Sandip or any other the other children.

"Are you okay?" I hesitantly asked Sandra as I sat next to them.

Feliks lifted his head and his eyes were bloodshot from crying.

"No! I'm not okay! Nothing about this is okay. I just want my mommy and daddy."

She has a point, but I don't think talking about it is going to do much good. Besides giving them a reason to 'correct' our behavior.

I sighed before lowering my voice to a whisper. "I know. But if you want to see them, you need to play along."

"Really?"

I have no idea if her parents are even still alive, but considering there is a good chance we wouldn't make it out of here alive, I don't feel too bad giving the kid false hope.

"Yeah. How 'bout you? Feliks is good?" I asked the boy before Sandra could say anything more.

"My sheya bolit." (my neck hurts) Feliks said with his chin resting on his knees.

"You what?"

Feliks then brought his hand up to his neck. I looked to see it was a little swollen, like someone choked the kid.

"You ran away?" I asked, and Feliks still nodded even though my grammar must have been horrendous.

"Sandra, did you get hurt when you tried running away?"

"The monster with the weird arm did it." The girl said in a whisper.

Sure I expected that, but it was still awful to hear.

"You need to do anything they tell you to, okay?" I told Sandra, before doing my best to translate what I said to Feliks.

[Relationship Increase: Sandra Menorship]

[Feliks considers you to be a friend]

[Level 1: Feliks will seek out your company]

I sighed out loud at the new text. Sure it might be useful down the line to know what people really think of me, but it also feels super scummy. At least going to bed in an actual bed was nice, even though I could hardly sleep due to worrying about what could happen next.

I was woken up after only a few hours of sleep by lights and the sound of footsteps.

"Prosnis', prishlo vremya vstretit'sya s tvoimi uchitelyami." (Wake up, it's time to meet your teachers.)

The evil villain guy from yesterday was back, along with five other people that didn't look like the usual guards surrounding the place. They looked like clones. Even though they were obviously of different races and gender, but how they just stood at attention without any facial movement...

"Get up v ocheredi seychas." (get up and in line) Mr. Villan-guy barked at us.

I scrambled away from the cots and followed Feliks' lead of getting into a line like the robo-clones people.

"This potrebuyet nekotoroy raboty. Your novyye names budut: odin, dva, tri, chetyre, and pyat'" (This is need some work. Your new names are: One, Two, Three, Four, and Five) Villan-guy said, pointing to each of us.

Odin at me, Dva at Feliks, Tri and Chetyre at the two other boys, and Pyat at Sandra.

"You uznayete, kak luchshe vsego sluzhit' HYDRA. Nachinaya seychas." (You will learn how to best serve HYDRA. Starting now.)

With that, each of the robo-clones gestured to one of us before leaving. The one that I got was a large man rocking a 5 o'clock shadow. Even with everything screaming in me to just run for it, I followed the man into what looked like a gym.

Oh fuck, they are training us to be child soldiers.

"Idti." (Go) The man said in a gravelly voice, and I pondered the fact that villain-guy said the same thing before the worst game of hide-and-seek ever started before noticing the guy pointed to an obstacle course.

In any other place, it would have been fun climbing the robes and jumping off balance beams. However, every time I failed, the man made me start over from the beginning.

"Idti bystreye!" (go faster)

I got to the end, but it still wasn't good enough.

"Go faster!"

My legs were jello and it was starting to feel like I couldn't get enough oxygen to my lungs when he finally let me sit and drink some water.

"Get up, seychas budem strelyat." ( get up, let's shoot now. )He said after only a few minutes.

I stood up even though my legs protected heavily. It was worst then when I did my first 5k race.

I was lead to a shooting range down the hall that only held one other person who was using some sort of semi-automatic. I didn't know a lot about guns, and I really didn't want to.

However, at the table wasn't only guns, but also throwing knives and other weapons.

Ear protectors were passed over, even though they were way too big to be any use. Then a pistol was placed into my hand.

"Strelyat." (shoot)

I held it up and pointed it to the dummy they had down the ally. With shaky arms, I pulled the trigger and watched as the bullet missed its mark.

Pain exploded from the side of my head, and it took me a moment to realized the man slapped me.

"Strelyat' luchshe." (shoot better)

Hours must have passed practicing shooting with the pistol, before he moved to the knives and a shotgun looking thing. Only then did he lead me back to the bunkroom, where the other kids were along with some food.

No one talked while we eat.

"Today we sobirayemsya sdelat' something nemnogo drugoye." (today we are going to do something different) Mr. evil villain-guy was back.

I haven't seen him since the first day in our new living area, and I had a feeling whatever he wanted wasn't going to be good either.

"I will play with you." The man said, staring right at me.

Somehow I didn't react to what he said. Or what I thought he said. Hopefully, I miss heard him or translated the words incorrectly because that sounded bad.

Like 'I rape little children' bad.

I was prepared to do... something as I followed villain-guy. To my relief, he ended up taking me to my usual gym. A gym that usually had other people training in it. Unless the guy was into having people watch.

"I look at your vystupleniye vo vremya our posledney game and khotel posmotret', smogu li you zastavit' vas sdelat' eto snova." (I looked at your preformance during our last game and wanted to see if you can do it again.)

Then he pulled out a gun and pointed it at me.

"W-What the hell?!" I screamed as I backed away.

Why would he bring me here just to shoot me? And what game is he talking about?

"Davay, with your super skorost you can uvernut'sya a puli." (Come on, with your super speed, you can dodge bullets.)

"What? With my what?" I asked since it sounded like he said super something.

Oh shit, did he see me teleport? I thought they wouldn't be able to figure that out with the Incognito skill?!

"Super skorost'. It redko for x-gena, to show in takom molodom." (Super speed. It is rare for an x-gene to show in such a young one.)

"...x-gena?" I repeated.

It sounded like x-gene, which I'm pretty sure why the x-men have powers.

"Not volnuysya. You prosto nuzhno run." (Do not worry. You just need to run.)

And so I did. I ran as fast as I could.

"Faster! ispol'zuy your super skorost'!" (Faster! use your super speed!)

I fell onto my knees as a shot went out.

Fuck, Menu! Menu!

I couldn't move, but I saw villain-guy out of the corner of my eye readying another shoot. I wasn't sure how long this slow-mode would last, but I needed to think. Vilain-guy seems to think I have a superpower, and is trying to shoot me in order to have me use it. By running, which makes no sense.

...unless he thinks it's super speed and not teleportation.

Time went back to normal as I got my self up, then used Apparition go appear further down the track before the shot went off.

"Yes! Do it snova!" (Yes! Do it again!)

I ran a little further before I heard the gun and teleported again. I had no idea if he was trying to aim at me or just my feet or something, but nevertheless, I was not going to try and figure that out.

I teleported for the fourth time before suddenly feeling nauseous and a splitting headache.

[Warning: SP dangerously low]

[If SP reaches 0 your HP will be affected]

Okay, seems like I have a limit to how often I can do that.

Luckily, it seems like Evil-villain guy was satisfied and let me rest for a few minutes before making me do it again.

A/N: Not sure what to think about this chapter because the next chapter is when things get good (in my opinion). Anyways I hope you enjoy it! I'm going to try updating this on the weekend, but I'm not the best at keeping scheduled.
