Darkness. It was the only thing visible to Eggsy.

He woke up exhaling a sharp breath, as if someone had punched him. Sweat was dripping down his forehead in tiny drops. He tried to observe his surroundings, and could definitely tell he was no longer sleeping in his bed. His body was hanging limply and his arms were firmly held onto something from the ceiling. He moved his hand over to the other, trying to free it; he felt a thick rope knotted around his wrist. There was no way of escaping this, he thought. It was quiet wherever he was being held captive, and he noticed he didn't wear any clothing, besides his underwear.

An extremely sharp light was all of a sudden turned on, and he couldn't see anything. All he could manage was to close his eyes tightly as the light was too bright for him.

'What the shit, who the fuck is doing this?'' He grunted as he tried to stay in place, his body swung from side to side within any movement.

Out of the darkness he could hear a clicking sound, someone walking towards him. This was not the way he wanted to spend his first time back as a Kingsman agent. He could've been abducted by a villain for all he knew, probably even be getting killed.

And then it would say in his agents report, something like:

Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin/ Galahad: 20

Fate: Death

Cause of death: Tortured and killed after his first day as an agent.

Like hell, he wouldn't. He would not let that happen, that would be rank, not under any circumstances would that happen. He was deadly serious…

Too soon?

The silhouette of a person became present, and it was all Eggsy could make out of the person standing there. There was a sound that suddenly went off and the person had pressed some kind of button. At that moment Eggsy fell one level down with a quick jolt that went through his body as a sharp pain, it made him yell out. As he looked down at the same time, he could see water underneath him. It was water all around him, filled in a large tub.

''I would be still, if I were you.'' The person spoke, but much to Eggsy's surprise it wasn't a mental old man keeping him captive and kidnapped, as he thought it would be. It was someone who had more of an interesting voice, and then he saw the person before him.

It was a woman's.

''The water is electrocuted, any wrong movement and you'll be deadly fried.'' Her voice was slightly dark, and alluring. He could still hear the clicking-sound of her heels as they hit the ground while she was walking around.

He looked around him again, but still saw nothing.

''Let me down, now!'' He desperately yelled out, trying not to swing around as much. One wrong movement and he would be in a pretty messy situation.

There was a coy laughter heard from the woman.

''You're a smart kid, right? Tell me about Harry Hart's secret files and the new agent, and I'll let you go.'' She was more demanding as she spoke now.

''I don't bloody know what you're talking about!'' His body was starting to feel weaker as he used all his strength on keeping himself up, without causing so much pain through his body. The rope was digging into his skin at his wrists, and he bit his teeth together pulling himself up with his hands around the ropes.

''I don't believe you.'' She scoffed, and then she walked away.

Eggsy panicked a bit, the bright light was turned off and the normal roof lighting was back on. He could see a glimpse of her face, as it happened. She was pretty young actually; he didn't think she would turn out to be the person he saw before him.

''Goodbye, agent Galahad.'' She winked at him, and pressed the button to the machine.

A loud noise was heard. An alarm went off and before he knew it he flew straight down into the ice-cold water, which was pretty far from where he was hanging up in the air. But then, there was nothing. His body was heavily at the bottom of the tub, and he realized it moments after. He had no air left in his lungs, and he pushed his feet against the ground floor swimming up to the surface. He quickly swam over to the edge of the tub and held onto the cold metal, breathing hard against it.

''Congratulations, you didn't screw up as much as I thought you would.'' It was the woman's voice, ringing in his ears again.

It was a test, just a bloody test! How could I have not see that coming! He thought, as he was slumped against the edge. He rested his head against the metal and hit his hand harshly against the wall of the tub in anger.

''Jesus Christ.'' He cursed, and placed both of his hands on the metal and pushed himself up, jumping out of the tub. Hitting the ground and almost falling over due to the shock he had gotten; it took over his body making his legs shaky and weak, like jelly.

A door opened on the other side of the largely dark spaced room, and Merlin emerged through with his clipboard. Along his side came Roxy, who was in the same position as Eggsy. She was soaked and her hair was dripping wet, she seemed at bit shaky as well standing with a blanket covering her body.

The woman set her eyes on Eggsy, making eye contact, as he looked straight back at her. She had dark brown hair, which reached down to her chest. Eyes brown, as far as Eggsy could tell. Her face was surprisingly pretty, and she seemed to be using eyeliner and makeup, which he hadn't seen any other of the girls around this place wear. Her body was shown to be really fit, yet a tad curvy. She was also, to Eggsy's attention, wearing a black tight fitting dress. As he would describe her, she was a fit bird.

She took a few steps closer to him, and brought her hand out for him to shake.

''I am agent North.'' She said, presenting herself as the unknown agent they had previously heard about.

''Wait. Hold on. Are you-'' Eggsy couldn't even bring himself to shake her hand as he was truly shocked. She didn't seem pleased as he decided not to shake it. She rather took notice in what he was busy with instead, as her look went further down his body.

He looked down and cursed out to himself again. ''Bullocks-'' He put both his hands in front of his underwear, and stood there as a poor loser; losing all his dignity. He forgot that his thoughts had wandered and that he was thinking about the way she looked, and how nice her body was…

The situation happening came to Merlin's attention, and he hurried over with a blanket for Eggsy.

''I say we move into another room.'' Merlin spoke up to them all, and North nodded walking confidently into the room next-door, not even bothering to acknowledge Roxy on the way over.

''Who on earth does she think she is?'' Roxy annoyingly lashed out on Merlin as he came up to her with Eggsy behind. He only gave her a small smile as a response, and stopped by the door letting both Roxy and Eggsy walk through first. She groaned and bit her teeth together, keeping herself calm trying not to say anything she'd regret later on.

North found a comfy office chair that she gladly sat down in, before facing the three people in front of her. Merlin closed the door behind them, and gave an approving nod towards the new agent.

She nodded back and started her informational speech. ''I am North, the new agent.''

The sound of her voice and accent was the way a posh Brit would talk. They had no idea which country she originated from, but taking it from perspective it was pretty accurate.

Her outer appearance was clearly being a leader type, demanding control over any situation given. She spoke in a way that would make you pay attention and feel slightly interested, clear and seducing. It would almost sound like she did it on purpose, but they didn't really know her well enough to know that fact.

''I have been ordered here to help out with the new recruits and secret missions.'' She stood up again, and crossed her arms over her chest as she slowly walked a few steps while talking. ''It has come to my attention you two are the new agents of the Kingsman Service here in London, therefore I had to test your abilities in such a case as the scene that were to happen today, where your life was at stake.''

''That was for your own amusement?'' Eggsy struck out, his accent getting thicker as he was fuming over the situation.

''Excuse me?'' She looked shocked that he would even dare talking back at her with that tone in his voice.

''You heard me, 'you a decent agent you could've told by examining us, or seen us preform some skill training. '' He gestured with hands as he spoke.

''It was my decision to make, and I actually liked what I saw as an outcome.'' She talked in a calm manner. ''Not the way you cried for help though, you shouldn't need to do that, anyway you passed it. The end.''

Eggsy opened his mouth as if to say something, and looked over at Merlin. ''Aren't you going to do something? You can't let her treat us like that.''

Merlin understood Eggy's frustration, but he still didn't agree with his comment on the subject. ''I did tell you to act proper towards the new agent, and other people who decide your fate here. You are being immature; I suggest you go ahead with Roxy and calm down. Until then, dinner will be served in the dining hall in approximately two hours. Better hurry up.'' He opened the door for them, as a gentleman would.

Eggsy stood in silence, and Roxy looked taken aback as well. Merlin's attitude had suddenly changed back to when he was their recruit leader. Maybe all of this pressure was making him upset and angry. Eggsy saw no other option than to leave immediately without saying a word, it wasn't worth it. He clearly wasn't worth it.

'Before you leave.'' She called out before they left the room. ''Recruits are here, Tuesday, tomorrow morning.Training will start Wednesday at 6:00am, understood? I want you two there, presenting yourself and giving the information the newbies need to know, like when you were recruited. Also Merlin and I will be in the room next to where the recruits will be sleeping, and we'll see their every move and behaviour. Even yours, so don't blow it.''

When she was done speaking, Eggsy ignored the fact that he needed to answer her and walked straight out in a hurry, with his towel still around him.

''We'll be there.'' Roxy said, and took a look at Merlin for brief moment before she headed out. She thought he would at least give her a look of compassion and understanding, but his professional side had already stepped into business.

''I cannot believe him! Why didn't he back us up?'' Eggsy was a firework of anger as he and Roxy were walking back to their rooms; he had been complaining the whole time.

''Eggsy, calm down.'' She told him, as she was pretty fed up with his angry thoughts. ''It isn't as if he's on our side or anything. He just has to do his job, can't you see it from his perspective for once?''

He shook his head. ''Na-ah. No- nada. I am fuming.''

She sighed and walked ahead of him as she was freezing, only wearing the towel around her cold body. ''Well, go and hit something then. Get it out- I need to take a hot shower at this second.'' And with that she was out of his sight, quickly making her way to the bathroom, the bathroom everyone staying on the same floor needed to share.

He had been walking for a while and was now at his room. He rested his head on the wooden door in front of him, still out in the hall. He closed his eyes and groaned. Times were going to get rough with the new agent in charge, he didn't even know if he could be coming along on the huge missions again. Maybe V-day was his one and only mission where he'd actually succeeded and saved the world, being the type of agent that Harry once was. He hit his hand against the door, and let it slide down again.

He needed to get out of this place.

Just for the evening.

He couldn't bear the thought of having to sit and be nice around the dining table.

He opened his eyes and the door to his room. He knew exactly where to go for escaping reality for a while…
