Anna tossed her duffle bag onto the cot that sat in the corner of what would be her room for the next three years. It had a small window set into the concrete walls above her bed and the floors were made of shiny waxed wood. Behind the door, a set of lockers in which to keep what few possessions she had. With a heavy sigh she sat down on the cot and ran her hands roughly through her bangs.

She could still barely believe it, in the course of a single day her entire world had flipped, changed, ended even. She was in the CIA, a special unit. She'd have to hurt people, kill people. She shuddered at the thought. What made it all the worse, she was only there because the woman whom she had called Mother, had sold her to them? Madam Gothel hadn't always been the best Mother, but she was all she had. She had been her lifeline, her tether to the world outside of her house, outside of her fears. She had played the part well and after everything that had happened, everything she had learned, Anna found herself missing the woman years after they had parted ways.

A gentle knock on the door pulled the redhead from her thoughts and she looked up to see Agent Bjorgman leaning against the doorframe with a lazy half smile.

"I see that you're all settled in" he nodded towards her.

Anna shrugged "As settled as I can get, you know, after being ripped from my life and all, Agent Bjorgman" she set a steady glare on the man.

He sighed "Look, I'm sorry that it had to go down like that, but orders are orders. There was nothing I could do" he tried to calm the girl. When her glare didn't lessen he let out a heavy sigh and pushed a box into her room from where he had set it on the floor "Training gear, and you're key card. Don't lose it"

"Thank you, Agent Bjorgman" Anna deadpanned.

"Could you at least call me by my name? Agent Bjorgman sounds so, stuffy. I'm just trying to make you more comfortable, Anna. Come on, Try it. Kristoff" he flashed her a small smile.

Anna made a non-committal grunt "I'll think about it, Agent Bjorgman"

Kristoff sighed and turned to leave "Well, I guess all I can say is, welcome to Camp Bald" he said as he began walking away down the hall "Get some rest, you'll need it. Training started tomorrow at dawn, Junior Agent Dale" his voice echoed down the hall with a taunting laugh and Anna Grimaced.

"Junior Agent" she spat. His comment had set a fire in her gut, a determination that she wasn't expecting "I'll show him"

WEEK 1

Anna sat on the floor of the dojo holding a bloody cloth to her still bleeding nose as she tried to catch her breath.

"You did okay, Kid" Phil clapped her on the back, hard. Phil was one of her instructors (see forceful motivator). He was a stout man with short ginger hair and a goatee that he fought tooth and nail to keep. Short as he was, he had a voice that could boom like a giants when he wanted it to and he worked Anna to the brink of passing out. "Not many of the newbies last that long in their first round with Shang.

Shang, her second instructor. He was at least twice the height of Phil with dark eyes and black hair. He was to teach her combat and he was very much a fan of learning on the go. Anna thought he had been joking when he had shown her but the basics before her ordered her to fight him. She had just snorted with laugher when the first punch flew. She had managed to block a lot of his hits but her inability to get on the offensive in time was what had led her to her current bruised and bloodied state.

"Most don't last that long!?" Anna's mouth hung open "But that couldn't have been more than three minutes!" she gaped.

"Two and a half, to be exact" Shang smiled as he crouched in front of her "But who's counting?" he smiled as he pulled the cloth away from her nose and inspected her "Well its stopped bleeding, so that's good, and it doesn't seem to be broken" he nodded and stood "Good work, think you can hit me next time?" he tilted his head and couldn't help but girl at the girls look of pure determination.

"Count on it!" Anna scrambled to her feet and bowed " Thank you, Sensei" she winced as Shang cuffed her on the back on her head, causing her to stumble back in pain "The hell was that for!?" she snapped.

A small smile graced his face "That is Si-fu" he corrected her "If you are going to refer to me honourably, do it right at least"

Anna flinched and bowed again "Sorry Si-fu, wont happen again" she said in a loud whisper before hurrying her, her face flushed red with embarrassment.

WEEK 5

The rain pelted down around Anna as she ran along the muddy trail of the obstacle course. Her bangs clung to her forehead and her hair fell heavily across her back, barely contained in her ponytail. Her breathe came in sharp pants as she forced herself onwards towards the log vaults.

She made to jump but her foot slipped and she went tumbling over the log and slid through the mud a few feet.

"Come on, Kid!" Phil's voice called out, hardly heard above the drumming of the rain "Get up! On your feet!"

At his prompting, Anna rose slowly and set off at a steady jog before picking up speed again.

"Come on! The sooner you're done, the sooner you eat!"

WEEK 9

Anna lay back on her cot, her arms tucked under her head, lost in her thoughts. She had met a few of the other trainees, though they mostly just avoided her, and had seen the way the instructors interacted with them. Harsh and cold, the picture of order and superiority. Nothing like how Shang and Phil treated her. Sure there was still a clear line between them setting them apart, but it seemed different.

Praises were hard to come by from them but when they did come about they were always well earned. They were friendly and kind, but still firm and at times harsh. She winced just thinking about her currently bruised ribs. Very harsh. But she knew that they treated her more like an equal.

She had wondered about this a few times. Why was that? Was it pity for the circumstanced that brought her there? No, she ruled that and many other options out quickly.

She had been racking her brain for days when she finally built up the courage to ask them.

"You're different, Kid" Phil had told her "Not like the others. You're bright, and willing and good, you got this spark to yeah and I guess, well I admire your spirit, Kid, because you've managed to keep it. Even with me and Shang trying to crush it, make you into the perfect solider"

"But what good is a solider, without heart" Shang had simplified "You have a lot of heart, and you fight good. You remind me of myself, in a way, when I was younger"

Anna smiled at the memory of the conversation. They pair reminded her of Oaken and Sven and suddenly she didn't feel so alone. They felt more like mentors then the iron fisted instructors she had been expecting. They got her, and she was infinitely glad for it.

WEEK 13

Anna's eyes widened in shock as Shang stumbled back with a grunt. "I-I hit you" she gasped "I actually hit you!" her celebration was cut short by a sudden knee to her gut that sent her tumbling and gasping, trying to regain her breathe.

"Never celebrate your victory until it is assured" he scolded "On your feet"

Still gasping, Anna rose to her feet and took her defensive stance "Yes, Si-fu" she wheezed as he advanced. It was going to be a long and bruise filled day.

WEEK 25

The spear of ice flew from the tips of Anna's fingers and went soaring towards the target set far down the range.

"You missed" Shang grunted as he nodded towards the spear that was lodged in the ground a good three feet away from the target "You rarely miss, Anna, and never that spectacularly. Something on your mind?"

The ground around her was frosted over lightly and she took deep calming breaths "I'm fine" she huffed "Just a little stressed is all. Exams and everything coming up." She clenched her fists to quell the ice in her palms "Elsa's stressed to. She wants to prove herself but…. She doesn't like this… the idea of using the ice to hurt people"

"Think of it, not as hurting over people. It's a defence, like your blocks in combat" Shang guided Anna's arms back into position, making it look like she was about to fire an arrow "Or a practice of control. If you can channel the ice, direct it, control it, then you need not fear it." He stepped back once Anna was calmer and crossed his arms "Now, AGAIN!" he barked.

"Yes Si-fu!" Anna tensed and fired another spear, striking the bull's-eye.

WEEK 73

Anna leapt from the top of the ramp towards the climbing wall that had been set up on the track. 'Now, Elsa!' she closed her hands into tight fists as small needles of ice grew over her skin. She hit the wall hard, and to her utter surprise, she stuck to the wall.

She let out a whoop of delight "Did you see that, Phil?" she called to the man who stood off to the side "I finally stuck it!" she laughed and nodded to her hands "Get it? Stuck it? Cause I'm stuck. To the wall? You see, it's punny, Phil." When the man refused to laugh she pouted and began to climb "At least Elsa thought it was funny, right, Elsa?" she grumped.

No sooner had the words left her mouth did the ice needles melt and Anna fell with a yelp of surprise landing in a pile of sudden snow and getting quite stuck.

"Elsa!" Anna cried as she squirmed indignantly "The hell!?"

"Now that, that was funny!" Phil laughed. When his laughter finally died down he stood straight "Whew that was good. Back up the wall with you"

WEEK 94

Spears of ice flew out in a graceful arc as they struck their marks. Anna allowed herself a small satisfied grin as she looked over to Shang as he dropped his bow "Well, looks like I shattered your arrows, Teach. Told you I could"

"She told you" Phil agreed with a nod as he held out his hand "Pay up, Chump"

Grumbling, Shang dug through his pockets and slammed a handful of bills into the shorter man's hand before storming off grumbling loudly. Something about cheating ice witches that drew grins from both Phil and Anna.

WEEK 134

The baton that Shang was wielding swung through the air towards Anna. She raised her arms in defence and ice spread out as a shield, only to be shattered by strike, sending Anna stumbling to the side. She was always surprised by the man's strength. No sooner had the first blow been struck did the second and third swiftly follow.

She dodged and blocked as she backed up, taking the hits while looking for an opening.

He swung wide and Anna saw her chance. She threw a punch at his elbow and advanced.

His weapon was lost and his arm useless, Shang kicked towards her.

A kick that she caught and pulled towards herself, sending them both tumbling to the mats.

After the tumble, Shang had Anna pinned to the ground. Pressing his advantage he pulled his training knife from his boot and held it to her throat.

"Cheater" Anna grunted as she struggled.

"All's fair in a fight for your life" he smirked.

A smirk that Anna returned as she smashed an ice covered fist into the side of his head, sending him reeling in pain. She got her feet up against his stomach and kicked, knocking him off and onto his back.

The tables were turned and Anna pounced. She pinned him to the mats, quite literally as small spikes of ice pierced through his shirt and into the mats below them. She over him, holding a sinister shard of ice to his throat in turn. In that moment she usually bright and sunny redhead looked savage, and then the moment passed. Anna smiled brightly "Yield?" she asked.

"Cheater" Shang smirked as he pushed her off "I yield, I yield"

"All's fair in a fight for your life" Anna mocked as she dissolved the ice that held him down and helped him to his feet.

A steady applause drew their attention to where Phil stood next to Agent Bjorgman, utterly dwarfed by the blond man. She had been so caught up in her intense sparing match that she hadn't even noticed him.

"Well done, Anna" Kristoff complemented her with a kind smile.

Anna nodded tersely "Thank you, Agent Bjorgman" she said as she made to leave.

He sighed "How many times do I have to tell you Anna, call me Kristoff"

"A few more times, Agent Bjorgman" Anna allowed herself a small smile as she left the dojo with the usual spring to her step.

WEEK 153

"Alright, Kid" Phil's voice crackled through the ear piece Anna was wearing "Final exam day, you ready?"

"I was born ready" she whispered back, and she looked it. Anna looked every bit the agent she had been trained to be in the span of three years. She was dressed in a back tank top and matching black cargo pants with high laced soft soled boots. Fingerless gloves and a brimmed cap finished off her look.

Phil chuckled "You know the drill, Kid, simple capture the flag. Get from point A to point B undetected and retrieve the flag. We'll be watching. Good luck, Anna" the ear piece cracked and went silent.

Anna took a deep breath and centered herself as she slowly stood from where she had been crouched and peered around the corner. From her hiding spot she could only see about half of the dimly lit area. It had been designed to resemble something akin to a shipping dock, or so Anna assumed. Shipping crates, sandbag walls and a sparse scattering of crates and barrels gave plenty of cover for the girl. It seemed easy enough. At least it would have, if not for the presence of the CIA agents posted throughout. Highly trained agents that would probably get a good kick out of beating on a new trainee stood strategically across the roofs and patrolled the ground.

She rubbed her hands together as wispy tendrils of ice flowed down her arms and into her palms, conjuring a crystalline snowflake, channeling all of Elsa's power into it. Her legs shook and her breathing was reduced to muffled gasps once she had finished it. "Stay close" she whispered as she let go of the snowflake, watching as it flittered up into the shadows. It was risky, she had learned, channeling that much of Elsa's power through herself, but her body was the perfect amplifier and she had a feeling she would need that little snowflake.

After a doing a quick check, Anna dashed and rolled for cover behind a sandbag just before one of the patrolling agents rounded the corner of a crate and took up a post right where she needed to go. She grit her teeth. Of course they would move to block the most obvious path. She rooted around on the ground and found a small rock and tossed it at the crate causing a light clang loud enough to draw his attention. Peering over the bag, she watched as he past her by and made her move. Anna popped up and delivered a shift hard blow to the side of the man's head and pulled him over the bag wall to hide him.

With the way now clear, Anna advanced steadily onward towards her goal. She looked up periodically, feeling the tug and pull of the Bond and grinned. 'Cheater' she thought as she followed the tugs. Elsa was guiding her, steering her away and around many of the patrolling guards and leading her to a ladder attached to the side of a crate.

She scrambled up and moved from crate top to crate top, silently taking out the agents as she went. Finally she stood on a crate and looked down at the agent defending the flag. After dropping down she swept her leg out into his ankles, knocking him to the ground before a shift strike knocked him out.

She was barely able to contain her giggle of glee as she moved towards the flag. This was it. She had to pick up that caution orange flag and she would be done with this camp. Barely twenty years old and she would finally be free to roam, no longer confined to labs or camps or quaint little houses in quaint little neighbourhoods. Free as she would ever be able to be. She made to reach done to grab it but froze.

The cool metal of a gun pressed to her temple and the temperature of the room dropped drastically.

Kristoff pulled the gun back a bit "You didn't check the corners. You're reckless and impulsive and you are going to kill yourself someday if you keep that up. In fact, if this wasn't your exam, if you weren't my charge, you'd probably be dead by now" his breath plumed in front of him as he spoke "but nice run"

Anna scoffed "If this weren't my exam, Elsa would have run you through by now" her voice was strained.

It was only then that Kristoff noticed the pinprick of ice poking into the back of his neck. He slowly handed the gun to Anna, who had extended her hand to take it, and turned, drawing in a sharp breath.

Behind him stood a fully formed ice creature, human in appearance but the bright blue glow of its eyes gave it away. The ice Golem that Elsa currently resided in lowered its spiked arm and regarded Kristoff coldly, keep sure to keep its feet on the snowflake on the ground that it had rose from.

"So you've given her a full form? Clever, Anna. Very clever" He shoved the golem off of the snowflake and instantly it dissolved, drawing a pained hiss from Anna "But I stand by what I said. Reckless" he smiled and held out his hand to shake hers "But, congratulations are in order. You passed. Welcome to the CIA, Agent Anna Dale"

Anna beamed and shook his hand as firmly as she could to hide her residual weakness from her stunt with the snowflake grown golem "Thank you, Kristoff"
