Author's Note: Hey guys, just got this chapter finished, hope you like it! And I hope that you liked that I made Shade like Eggsy and Eggsy like Harry or Galahad. Here's the chapter, bye!
Previously: "Well, as I was saying, meet me at the tailor shop tomorrow and I will tell you what this job entails," Eggsy said as he got up, patted Shade on the shoulder and walked out of the pub, his umbrella tapping against the wooden floor.
The next morning Shade walked out of his room only to be pinned to the wall as Jared snarled at him, "Who was the guy with you at the pub?!"
"No one!" Shade shouted as he struggled against his arms.
Jared growled as he pinned Shade to the table and grabbed a butcher knife, he pressed it gently against his neck, "Tell me a name Axel!"
Shade clenched his jaw as his mother stood in the corner, her hands over her mouth as she stared at them in shock and sadness.
"Alright, is that how you want it?!" Jared shouted as he dug the edge of the knife further into his neck, drawing blood.
"I wasn't with anyone," Shade replied calmly, wincing slightly as the knife dug in.
"I could kill you and no one would know, is that what you want?!" Jared asked, staring down at him.
Shade growled but didn't say anything as Eggsy's loud voice sounded throughout the apartment, "But I would know."
"W-Who the fuck said that?" Jared asked, the knife hanging loosely from his hand.
"It's none of your concern now, let the boy go," Eggsy said calmly as Jared let Shade up off the table.
"Good, now Shade, go to the tailor shop I told you about while I have a chat with Jared," Eggsy said over the speakers in the room.
Shade slipped out of the apartment and groaned as he came face to face with Roxwell.
"There he is, get 'im!" Roxwell shouted as Shade slipped down the hall.
He ran quickly only to be cornered from both sides as Roxwell laughed, "Got ya now."
Shade looked around quickly before opening the latch to a window next to him and slipping out, landing in a dumpster filled with cardboard and black bags of trash.
He looked up and grinned as Roxwell shouted, "NO!"
He crawled out of the dumpster before rushing down the street towards the tailor shop.
He looked around and saw the shop with the name 'Kingsman' slapped on the glass. He looked through the door window and saw Eggsy sitting in an armchair sipping some whiskey.
He opened the door and stood in front of him, "I've never met a tailor before but I know you're not one."
Eggsy stared at him before getting up, "Follow me."
Shade followed him into a fitting room near the back of the shop and got in, looking around the small enclosed space.
"What do you see? I see potential Kingsman is an international intelligence agency operating at the highest level of discretion. If you are prepared to adapt you can transform," Eggsy said as he looked at Shade through the mirror.
"Into a spy," Shade replied, looking back at him.
"Interested?" Eggsy asked, tilting his head slightly to the side.
"Oh, yes," Shade replied as he grinned at him through the mirror.
Eggsy smiled softly in return before placing his fingers on the glass and the walls started moving up, "I hope you realize now that your father was apart of the Kingsman."
"Yea, I get it now... What did you think of him?" Shade asked curiously.
"He was the best man I had ever met, I wouldn't change my opinion of him even if he was a Hybrid," Eggsy replied, his hands crossed on the handle of his umbrella.
Shade laughed nervously and muttered to himself, "Yea... If..."
He looked up and realized that they had gone down very far, "How deep does this thing go?"
"Deep enough," Eggsy replied with a soft smirk, mimicking what Harry Hart had said when he had first been in this same elevator.
They stopped and Shade looked towards a weird tube like thing in the ground, following after him as Eggsy walked towards it. Eggsy sat down and gestured towards the seat across from him; Shade sat down a few seconds later and gripped the armrests tightly as the compartment they were in shot off through the ground towards the Kingsman mansion. They got out and Eggsy lead Shade through the halls, only stopping as Shade looked out the window over looking the many vehicles they had underground.
"Woah..." Shade said as he looked at a plane that they were loading and preparing for a journey.
"Your father had the same look on his face when I showed him this... I did too in fact," Eggsy said as he gently patted his shoulder, "Come now, we're already late."
Shade nodded and followed Eggsy down another hallway until they came to a doorway, Eggsy turned to him and gestured to the door, "In you go, good luck."
Shade glanced at him before going into the room, looking around at the metal beds lining the wall and noticing the people grouped in the middle. They all lined up in two rows as a tall thin man walked into the room with a clipboard.
"You're about to embark on the most dangerous job interview in the world. We're here to test you to the limit to enhance your skills. Train you for the evil out there. Do any of you know what this is?" the man asked as he held up a piece of cloth from the bed.
Everyone except for Shade raised their hands to the shock of himself as the man pointed to one of the men in front, "A bodybag."
"Correct, now, everyone, pick up a bag and put your name on it. Your next of kin's name on it, and your birth date on it. This is to show just how serious this is, if you let slip what happens here or if you die, you and your next of kin will be in this bag, do I make myself clear?" the man asked as he placed the bag down, "Good, get some sleep."
The man walked out the door as everyone dispersed to the beds, Shade picked the bed third from the door and picked up the bag, signing his name on it. A hand shot out from in front of him as he looked up, it was a girl about 5'5" with riding clothes on and she had brown eyes with her mid-back length blond hair tied behind her head.
"Hello, my name is Amelia Rothchild but people can call me Amy, nice to meet you," she said with a smile on her face.
"Hi, my name's Axel but people call me Shade," he replied, shaking her hand.
One of the boys there walked up to them, two guys flanking him as he walked up, "A Rothchild here in Britain? Nice to make your acquaintance Amelia. I am Adrian Lockwood."
He kissed the back of her hand to the annoyance of both her and Shade.
He straightened and rounded on Shade, "Didn't you say your name was Shade? Shouldn't you be skulking in the shadows, picking people's pockets?"
Shade snorted and rolled his eyes, "Wow, nice to meet you too."
Adrian stepped closer and narrowed his eyes at him, "You don't belong here."
Shade grinned and nodded, "I don't but neither do you rich kid."
Adrian snarled at him and strolled away only to stop as Shade started talking again, "Adrian Augustus Lockwood, born on the second of december in the year 2020. Born to Lady and Lord Lockwood with no other siblings. Got arrested in 2036 for racing, drunk driving, and for the possession of cocaine. Wow, you've done a lot of shit."
Adrian spun around as Shade got the attention of everyone in the room, "How did you...?"
Shade smirked as he held up Adrian's wallet, phone, watch, and heir ring, "Lose something?"
Adrian growled and snatched his things back from him, "Thief."
Shade shrugged before rolling into a bed, "Night Amelia."
"Night Shade," she replied before crawling into a bed next to him.
One of the last boys crawled into their bed and there was silence, everyone was asleep. Suddenly the room started to fill up with water, waking some people, one being Shade.
"Up, everybody up! Get up Amy," Shade shouted as he stood up on his bed.
Amy woke up and started to look around frantically, "Ok... Ok... Showers! Get to the showers!"
Adrian, Amy, and everyone else had already moved towards the showers as Shade looked on in confusion, "Wait, why don't you try the door?"
The room started to fill up quicker as the teens ripped the shower heads from the showers and Shade swam towards the door.
"Just open the door?" Shade questioned as he gripped the handle tightly and pulled hard.
The door creaked but didn't budge as Shade pulled harder. He had to stop as the water level got to the roof and he swam back towards Amy. He looked around quickly but the mirror across from him caught his eye. He swam closer to it and crouched at the edge of the mirror, narrowing his eyes as he looked at it closer. Everyone else had ripped the head off of the shower tubes and were breathing from them as they watched him examine the mirror. He saw a glimpse of someone on the other side and realized that the mirror was a one way mirror. He gripped the railing at the edge of the mirror and placed his fist on the mirror before pounding it, trying to break it in. He coughed and tried to breath but there was no air left. His sight was narrowing as he finally broke through the mirror, grunting as the water pushed them all into the small room.
The man from before was in the room and smiled at them, "Congratulations on completing your first task. Good job to Adrian and Amy for using the tubes of the showers to get air out of the toilets. Most people should know that if you shove a tube down a toilet it lets you have an unlimited air supply. Also, good job to Shade for realizing that the mirror was a one way mirror."
"he would know, spending most of his time near them," Adrian muttered loud enough for him to hear.
"Anyway, my code name is Merlin and as such, you all forgot the most important thing, teamwork. You all forgot that," Merlin said as he gestured towards the limp body of one of the women that was a candidate.
Everyone froze as they saw her there, wondering how they could have over looked her, "As I said, teamwork. Get some rest, the rest of your training begins tomorrow."
With that, Merlin walked out the door as everyone got to their feet and crawled back into their shared room.
The next morning, everyone was gathered outside and in front of the large mansion with eleven cages in front of them as Merlin stepped up with his clipboard in hand.
"Today you will pick a cub and train it for the duration of your stay, it will be your friend, your companion, and will train with you as you go through your tasks," Merlin said as he uncovered the cages to reveal eleven cubs from the large cat family.
Each cage had one of the following, a cheetah, lion, cougar, clouded leopard, jaguar, leopard, snow leopard, tiger, white tiger, bobcat, and one other that wasn't listed.
"Wait like actual cubs?" Amy asked as she stepped closer to the cages.
Shade smiled as the cubs whined and pawed at him, trying to get his attention, "I believe that they're actual cubs Amy."
He walked towards the cages and gently opened one, picking up a little black cub with light gray stripes, "Well aren't you cute."
They all lined back up with their cubs as Merlin handed out leashes, Shade was standing next to Amy when she asked, "What kind of cub is that?"
"I actually don't know, what about yours?" Shade asked, gesturing to hers.
"It's a white tiger cub, one of the rarest in the world," Amy said with a grin.
Shade pouted and looked down at his cub, "Well good for you."
It had been a month since Shade arrived and he sighed as he sat with his cub in one of the trees surrounding the mansion and looked up through the branches. He straightened up slightly and looked down as he heard a person below him shout his name.
"Shade! Where are you? Come on, it's time for dinner," Amy shouted as she walked through the small forest.
She jumped as Shade's voice floated to her from somewhere above her, "I'm not hungry."
"Oh come on, it's not that bad, Adrian won't throw cake at you again," Amy pleaded, looking up at the branches, trying to find him.
Shade sighed and rolled off of the branch, landing on his feet scaring her, "Fine, if it'll make you happy."
"It will and how did you do that?" Amy asked, staring at him in shock.
Shade froze, trying to come up with a good excuse, "I've always had good reflexes."
Oh... Well come on, Tyra's probably fighting with the rest of the cubs already," Amy said as they walked back to the building.
"Yea, hope that Aidos doesn't want to fight, he's already a hand full," Shade replied with a sigh as he looked at his cub.
It's been a few months since they arrived and all of the candidates were in a plane with parachutes on their backs. They all wore black jumpsuits as they sat in a row on each side of the plane.
"Alright, for this task, you have to land in the target and not get caught on the radar," Merlin's voice said in all of their helmets, "Come on Amy, you first."
Amy was shivering in her seat, trying not to look down as Shade nudged her gently, "Scared of heights?"
"A little, I can't do this..." Amy said as they all stood up.
"Then move to the back sweetheart," Adrian said as he shoved his way to the end of the plane before jumping out.
Everyone jumped out except for Shade and Amy as Shade looked at her, "Come on, just do what I do."
He grinned at her before walking backwards and falling out of the plane with a chuckle, "Come on Amy!"
Amy hesitated before launching herself out of the plane with a scream.
They all laughed and spun in the air as they fell towards the earth as Merlin's voice came back, "Well, that's all nice and fun but a spy has to think on the spot like what to do when one of your group doesn't have a parachute."
He chuckled as everyone but Shade started freaking out, "Hey! Calm down and get in a circle, come on."
They all nodded in fright as they shifted into a circular shape, "Now, each of us pulls a parachute alright?"
They all nodded again as each and everyone of them pulled their parachute open except for Shade and Amy who were approaching the ground fast.
"Come on, calm down, put your arms around me ok?" Shade said as he leaned towards her.
She nodded and latched herself around him like a koala, "N-Now what?"
"I'll pull my chute and if it comes out, we'll be fine, ok?" Shade replied as he reached towards the handle.
"O-Ok, on three?" she asked as the ground approached quickly.
"Ok... Three!" he yanked the handle as his parachute blew open.
She screamed as she started slipping, "Shade!"
"Come on!" he pulled her to his chest but realized that he couldn't save her unless he shifted.
"I hope this works... Please don't kill me," he unstrapped the parachute from his back and grunted as his black wings shot out from behind him, stopping them quickly.
"S-Shade, what..." Amy was about to ask but the words fell dead on her lips as she saw the wings on his back, "What are you?"
Shade grinned awkwardly as he looked down at her, "I'm a Hybrid... Sorry."
She just stared in shock at him as they landed on the target and Merlin walked forward, "Shade, Adrian and Amy, good job on passing this task. The rest of you can pack your bags and get out of here. Shade, Arthur would like to talk in private with you about your... Extra appendages."
Merlin walked away with Shade in tow as he tucked his wings in and Amy stood there in shock.
"Good riddance I say," Adrian said as they walked away, wincing as Amy punched him in the shoulder.
"Shut up," she replied before walking away, wondering what would happen to Shade now.
