This is the last chapter and then there will be a very short prologue. I can't believe you still haven't given me one review. I rushed this a little bit so I can start on a new fabric which will hopefully be more interesting for you lot. Anyway, enjoy!
For the next two weeks Bond trained Ash teaching her to fight, handle dangerous situations and hide her emotions from enemy's. There was no more kissing and not much flirting, Ash picked up on his discomfort when she got to close to him so she stopped, she was only doing it for fun anyway. On the morning of the second week of training Mallory called them both into his office
"I have been monitoring your training and I think you are ready to take the final test, usually new recruits receive up to a year of training but you are abnormal, your shooting is already excellent, fighting brilliant an your preliminary tests showed that you handle dangerous situations very well so I have arranged for you to take it today" he said
"Thank you very much, sir" she said
"Bond, show her to the testing area" Mallory instructed
"Yes sir"
When they got down to the 'testing area' a team of men were waiting for them, they quickly whisked Ash away and rigged her up to a running machine that monitored her breathing and heart rate. Bond watched her run with ease remembering how he had to do these tests not to long ago. The ten minute time limit was up and Ash was panting a little but not much, not as much as she should be considering the machine was meant to test you to your limits and see how well you could handle it. Next was strength, sit ups and chin ups, the most you could do in a minute whilst they were measuring your heart rate. As Bond expected Ash did it steadily and with ease. They moved onto the shooting. Ash grabbed a hand gun, loaded it swiftly (she had been practicing with Bond's Walther) and stood behind the sandbags. Holding it with both hands and standing with her feet apart she fired four shots, all less than five centimetres away from the heart and two in the centre of the forehead. Bond noticed the examiners nodding in approval.
Directing Ash to the mental examination room the psychiatrist motioned for her to sit down as Bond made his way behind the glass joining Mallory and Tanner.
"I am going to say a few word associations and I want you to tell me the first thing that pops into your head, ok?" The psychiatrist asked
Ash nodded
"Test"
"Boring"
"Agent"
"Bond"
"Love"
"Pointless"
"Mother"
"Dead"
"Father"
"Dead"
"Family"
"Dead, do you not get the picture yet?" she asked, showing some impatience
He ignored her
"Murder"
"Sorrow"
"Childhood"
"Gone"
"James"
She paused. "Trainer" Ash eventually answered
"Ok thank you, we are done for now" the psychiatrist said "you may go"
Without saying another word Ash walked out and Bond had to hurry to keep up
"That went well" he complemented genuinely
"Whatever" Ash dismissed "I just want a shower, I'll see you back home" she said picking up her pace and leaving him behind.
She climbed into her Lamborghini which had finally been delivered and sped away back to Bond's place that she was now permanently living in. He said he enjoyed the company and she had nowhere else to go apart from her parents flat but she would never live there again so it worked out well for them both. She had a shower and climbed into bed fully clothed with a full glass of almost neat vodka diluted with a tiny bit of sprite. Knowing James wouldn't be back for a while as he had work to do she layed down to read but slowly drifted off to sleep.
Ash woke up to the smell of bacon cooking and gradually realised she had slept through the whole night and well into the morning. Emerging from her bedroom bleary-eyed and still in her very short pyjamas she sat down at the cheap, wooden Ikea table and waited for breakfast with her head in her hands. She had splitting headache from the drink last night. Bond set a cup of dark coffee and a Bacon sandwich down next to her making her jump. She glared at him.
"I don't like coffee, you know that" she grumbled
"I do but I also know it helps you with a hangover" he replied "now enjoy, I made you breakfast"
They ate in silence, Ash could never resist a Bacon sandwich, no matter how bad she was feeling.
"You do know you are meant to meet Mallory In his office for your test results at ten" Bond casually reminded her
"What!" Ash exclaimed "you never told me that" she accused
Almost running into her room to get changed
"Oops, I must have forgot"
Ash knew he had done it on purpose as she pulled on a pair of jeans and a random top, quickly running a brush through her matted hair, it took half a hour to get there and it was already nine thirty.
"If I'm late then your dead" she called before she ran out the door
Jumping into her Lamborghini Ash sped off hoping that she wasn't too late. Arriving at MI6 dead on ten she practically sprinted up to M's office.
"Just in time" Eve smiled at her, seeing her flustered expression "M's inside"
Ash composed herself and stepped in
"Just in time" Mallory said without looking up from the papers he was holding "apparently you did brilliant in your tests. Physical condition 96%, excellent, the average is 80. Shooting accuracy 87%, very good, the average for that is 75%. Mental examination shows that you experienced childhood trauma but nothing else wrong. Your overall score is 92% the expected score is 75 or above. I really don't think I need to say anymore. Welcome to MI6 Agent Jones" he said holding out his hand Ash took it "hopefully you don't get shot quite as much as 007, you will be informed when we have a mission for you" releasing her hand he dismissed her.
There you go. The end of my first Fanfic. There will be another short chapter for you to read if you wish but it won't be about anything important. Thanks for staying with me and I really hoped you at least enjoyed some of it even if my writing wasn't great. Please remember I have only just turned thirteen and this was my very first Fanfic.
