PART TEN "There Are Lions, And There Are Lambs. Rule, Or Be Ruled.''

''Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting shit to change"

-Vaas Montenegro

it seemed crazy to say that years ago Nick was already a normal human, without having to kill, or even being able to shoot thousands or much less be cold like that. His family was a terrible example of stable his father a disgraced alcoholic who hated Nick with all his strength, while his brothers were so stupid that Nick mocked them about any kind of ability in something. But his mother was bipolar...she always saw Nick as a monster since birth, the worst thing about it is that Nick loved her very much...and it made him mad. But the fateful day that Nick awakened his powers was when his father tried to hit him with a bottle his reflex was so fast that the bottle broke when his father blinked but one day, he was beaten he ripped his arm off and impaled him with the bottle of vodka. His brothers were terrified and wanted to kill him...he didn't feel guilty or anything

he felt happy, not just happiness, something that made him cold enough to be satisfied with what he'd done. Years passed, his brothers abandoned their mother who was already in a deplorable state, he at first felt terrible but... he killed her, mercy to that woman who was not even aware of her actions, so from that day on he became what it is today but what changed in it? the fact that he fought so hard for nothing and killed for nothing or pleasure, but feeling feelings again would be unnecessary but that woman over there who was having a cardiac arrest because of a blow to the chest... she was worth his worry

so, in an act of simply ripping off his childhood locket, he put it on and spoke

- Ne dimittas, hic te volo.

he hated the fact that she had risked her life from the moment she was born, but if one thing made Nick believe it was that she was going to be back in a moment, the heartbeat was back.

the shocked nurse withdrew from the room

Rochelle was reborn it was as if the blow had passed, her head was light as much as her body before it was sore, it reminded her when Elliott had nightmares and she hugged her and she felt light, as if she was embracing her hope of life

Rochelle was waking up her pupils were dilated and she saw Nick sitting holding her hand as he spoke words she seemed to have already heard

- Since when do you speak Latin?

- The same way you know Russian.

- остановись с обаянием.

- I wouldn't say that charm would be my specialty

- learning fast...can you do me a favor?

- what would it be?

- as I can't get up or even fly, I had to get new documents for myself.

- okay, where would it be?

Rochelle pulls the pen and paper with telekinesis

- Turn your back I refuse to pull that table again.

Nick turns around and she supports the paper and hands it to him. And Nick withdraws

- I will be back later.

Nick drove to the address of a farm in Atlanta, it was a long way away but he would be fast he touched the front door

- Who are you?

- Rochelle asked me to get her documents

- Was there something with her again?

again?

- Well she just had a slight accident but she's better and she's awake

- holy shit she has to stop facing these idiots

The two entered while Kyra picked up and sorted the documents.

- How long have you known each other?

- 5 months. We've been on military missions

- She really doesn't know when to stop...she was thinking about working with the mafia...but I'm afraid she'll lose control again and get into trouble.

Nick saw a picture of Kyra and Rochelle and another girl.

- Apparently, you've known each other for a long time.

Kyra smiled

- la revolución del tigre blanco I would say it was only possible through Elliott.

She walks up to where Nick is and points to whoever was in the middle of the photo.

- Elliott was her sister, inseparable I would say, both were chaos for their enemies

- I thought it was Rochelle.

- No actually at the time she had a very different face

she points to the girl in the corner who is holding a huge rifle in a Russian military uniform with scars above her eyes.

- Elliott was 16 and she was still 19 this was in 1990, we were preparing for the damage that the war would cause, but what I didn't expect was that Rochelle would be captured and that Bill would leave her behind

That bastard thought Nick

- Did they already know each other?

- he was afraid of her, Rochelle was always cold when it came to saving people, who changed her was Elliott who had a huge compassion for others... but everything changed when Elliott and I were rescued there I will never forget how we found her ...

Kyra started to cry and Nick was staring at the picture.

- She was bleeding all over her body, there were burn marks, terrible scars and her hands were stuck in the wire... Elliott ran to save but it was a trap some bomb crashed into the building and to save Rochelle Elliott used the shield body during the explosion, she died instantly when Rochelle saw her lifeless body there, she went into a state of rage and incinerated everyone around, I took advantage and tried to revive Elliott.

- She's dead Kyra...the mission is over I'm going home. Without her.

Kyra sat up for a while as Nick watched her pulling out a cigarette.

- After that day Rochelle left Bill's team and decided to bury her sister here in America. She decided to return to Russia and isolated herself in an apartment for 4 years.

Kyra got up and handed him the documents.

- I have to warn you that even though she seems strong, because she kills and does dangerous missions, she is still a child practically, she matured early I hate to admit it but I want her safe...and if you hurt her she will ruin your life.

Nick laughs and takes the documents from her hand

- Don't worry... I'm aware of what she's capable of.

boredom was what Rochelle hated the most even after she lost her sister she got used to being entertained with different things, she looked at the clock 30 times

Why the hell does he take so long.

So, when the door opened the nurse arrived

- Well, you better rest I know you're breathing well and you can leave tomorrow.

- At least good news.

Nurse leaves but doesn't close the door until Rochelle turns over to sleep, but she feels someone very close to her and grabs her by the neck

- кусок дерьма! let me go!

It was a guy in a hood probably someone ordered her death, her arms were still terrible and he started to squeeze harder and her vision started to go white. then a huge dark dust started to stick to the guy and he started to despair

- what the hell is that!

That starts to go to his face and he lets go of Rochelle who was struggling to breathe and that black barrier starts to lift the guy and bend his neck

Then Rochelle blacked out again this time the dust around her began to take shape. and the shadow touched her hand making her sleep faster as if it was there to comfort and she started to hear whispers and felt something hugging her

- Ego te protegam dum extremum spiritum, modo relaxes. Volo te ad quietem relaxare animam tuam per multum usque adeo.

For the first time in years she felt comfortable sleeping, as if something was there to keep her safe, Nick would protect her from now on, he wants to ensure her safety even if it costs his life.
