Part II

Chapter 9:

Trust and Truth

Evyn placed her foot on the dead demon, looking around the now bloody room, with a hum. She put her guns away and held her sword close, walking towards the back door of the apartments. Looking around the alleyway, and spotting some law enforcers she turned and ran off pulling her hood over her head. She made her way out of the alleyway, looking around before taking a right turn. Stopping in front of a shady bar, he young half-breed walked in.

"Why, hello there beautiful." One of the bar patrons hummed looking at Evyn closely. "Don't you look lovely."

Evyn stared at him with cold ice blue eyes, before turning her head over to the barkeep. "Your pets have runny mouths when they don't want to die. Care to explain to me what's going on?"

The barkeep, an older male around his 40's with short brown hair, and a clean shave stared at the youngest Sparda child. He placed a cup down with ice and pour some whiskey inside, offering it to her. "There was a deal made Evyn Sparda. By a powerful group."

Evyn sat down at the bar taking a sip of the whiskey. "What do they want?"

"I'm not sure. They told us that they want us to get you." He stated.

"I see…" Evyn hummed looking at the ice. "I'm guessing that this group has their claws deep into a government agency?"

"I suppose so." He sighed cleaning a glass. "I'm just the middle demon. The messenger."

"Evyn nodded and stood up knocking the wood at the bar. "I appreciate the information."

The barkeep sighed and held his hand up to stop the other patrons from their attack. "I wish you luck, Evyn Sparda."

Evyn stared at him and walked out of the shady bar hearing the argument. She chuckled and sighed. "Now…what next."

Evyn found herself standing in front of the reflecting pool with her hood up, playing with her pendent thinking back on Fury's words to her while they went underground, and what the demonic barkeep told her. She shifted her eyes to the left when an elderly male walked up to her with his cane, staring down at the water. She shifted her eyes down to her pendent tracing the stone.

"You…have your father's appearance." The older male stated, catching the girl's attention.

"What…?" Evyn frowned looking at him.

The male chuckled. "I remember your father. I was just a young lass when I joined Shield. Your father helped me get ready for the field."

Evyn studied the man closely, looking at the details of wrinkles and scares on him. "How can I…"

"Trust me?" He questioned with a chuckle followed by a cough. "I see at least you carry that from him. He was…an interesting man. Trusted very little of the group in Shield."

"Like what?" Evyn hummed deciding to play along.

"When Shield took in German scientists to work for them. Your father wasn't…happy about that when he learned about it." The man explained playing with his cane. "Especially when one of them was former Hydra."

Evyn nodded her head. "Okay….wouldn't my dad know that people can change?"

"He knew that…but something about him changed." The man frowned. "One day there was a fight between him and Zola…something about his lineage. After that, Sparda vanished."

Evyn look down thinking. "So…Hydra was in Shield…?"

"According to your father yes…of course, I did my own digging." The man stated and took out an old envelope. "I got this in the mail, one day. From an unknown person, but I recognize the writing." He hand it over to Evyn.

The half-breed took it and gently opened it, reading the letter.

Joseph,

I'm sure by now Shield already replaced me, either someone new or you. I'm sure you remember our discussion before I left, about the scientists. You already know I don't trust them, in fact I didn't trust many of the agents in Shield, but you. I don't know if anyone else will read this before you, but. Leave Shield, if you value your family so much. I don't know when, and I don't know how, but if the scientists are still loyal to Hydra, then Shield is done.

From

Percival

Sparda.

Evyn stared at the letter trying to understand it. "I…I don't understand. Why show it to me?"

The older male chuckled weakly. "I know when a person is trying to hide. You look so plan standing there, but I recognize the signs. Even in my old age."

Evyn smiled weakly and look down at the letter. "I…I didn't know…"

"No one, in this current time of Shield knows. I and Howard both destroyed anything that would lead to Sparda." The man explained. "The only thing that would lead to him, is that letter. Other than that, all things were destroyed. Computer records, files, everything."

Evyn nodded slowly. "Did you know…."

"I did, same with Howard and Peggy. And Zola." The man, Joseph stated. Looking at the young woman. "I don't know what's happening, but I saw the car chase."

"You sure you're a human?" Evyn frowned.

"I am, I just have 2 grandchildren in Shield right now, and I can get some good information out of them. I haven't lost my touch." Joseph chuckled and walked away. "Keep the letter."

Evyn watched him leave and look down at the letter. "Damn it."

The following morning, Evyn found herself leaning against a rail, with Lavanza standing in front of her. A gun pointed at the weaker demon's head.

"Come out with the truth. What do you know, how did you know?" Evyn questioned with narrowed eyes.

Lavanza whimpered staring at the half-breed. "I know because my master told me….he….he told me you were in danger and I had to warn you to get away."

"That, doesn't answer." Evyn hissed. "You knew about Hydra in Shield. You knew where to find me, and where I am at all times. I know there's a deal with Hydra and demons to kill me. Is that you also?"

Lavanza stared at Evyn with wide eyes, and flinched when the barrel of Desir touched her head. "No! My master does not belong to them! He is a holy man, who appreciates the sacrifice your father, Lord Sparda, did for humanity!"

Evyn furrowed her eyebrow at that. "I…see…"

"Is there a problem here?"

Evyn turned her head to meet a black male dressed in running gear, staring at her and Lavanza. She shook her head. "No, there isn't a problem here."

The man stared at her, then at the gun, and then at Lavanza.

Who was not there anymore.

The man blinked slowly at the empty space. "Hold on, there was another woman there, right? I-I wasn't seeing anything."

"Yes, she does that." Evyn sighed putting her gun away thinking about the information she has gathered so far. She narrowed her eyes, and look at the male. "If you value your life. Run."

The man frowned. Evyn walked past him and look at him.

"Well?"

He stared at her, before slowly running off watching her. Evyn waited for him to be further away, before turning her head to the tree.

"You are so bad at hiding."

"Ms. Sparda."

Evyn lifted her head up to look at Maria Hill, standing there looking at her then at the dead demon. "Hill."

Hill nodded and look around the place, then at Evyn. "I need your help. I'm sure Fury told you his plan."

"He did." Evyn nodded standing up straight. "He also told me to wait for you."

"I need you to follow me." Hill stated looking at her closely. "They plan on killing Rodgers, and we'll be helping him. I don't doubt that Romanoff is with him."

"I'm sure she is." Evyn nodded putting her gun away. "How am I going to follow you?"

Hill smiled. "You willing to play, dress up?"

Evyn hummed. "I hate wearing things, I can't move in."

"I'm sure we can arrange that."

Evyn somehow found herself clinging onto the bottom of the black truck that's holding Steve and Natasha in. She slowly climbed up, being very careful to not hit the pavement, as she slowly opened the door slightly, just in time to see one of the men fall to the ground. The half-breed shrugged and got in, closing the door, sitting next to the other person in the black mask.

"Evyn?" Steve asked in shock, staring at her.

Evyn shrugged, and glared at the person. "I hate you."

"Trust me, you're the lucky one." Hill gasped taking the helmet off to look at Evyn. "This thing was squeezing my brain."

"I think that was the point." Evyn hummed.

Hill nodded and look at the black male in confusion, then at Steve. "Who's this guy?"

"Friend." Steve stated.

Evyn took out the same device Fury used. "Shall I?"

"Yes." Hill nodded. "You know what you're doing?"

"Fury showed me." Evyn huffed pointing it at the ground and creating a hole. "Okay, let's go under."

Evyn leaned her head against the head rest on the seat, looking at Hill. "A dam?"

"Yup. Did you find what Fury was looking for?" Hill asked.

"My dad was an agent, and Shield already knew about Demons. Meaning Hydra knew also." Evyn stated. "After my dad left, they destroyed everything about him and demons."

Hill nodded and parked the van. "Come on."

Evyn got out of the car and opened the van doors, helping Steve, Natasha, and Sam out of it, and led them to the door that Hill was waiting at.

"Evyn, what's going on?" Steve asked the half-breed.

"You'll see." Evyn stated, following Hill as she walked through the gate.

"GSW. She's lost at least a pin." Hill called out once they were inside.

"Maybe two." Sam added in.

"Let me take her." The doctor stated as he ran over.

"She'll want to see him first." Hill stated.

"You can work on her there." Evyn added in.

Hill took the group to a small makeshift hospital room, where Fury laid. Evyn stood to the back, looking at the group's stiff up, and Fury lifting his head up.

The director look at the group and said. "About damn time."

"Lacerated spinal column, cracked sternum, shattered collarbone, perforated liver, and one hell of a headache." Fury listed off his injuries looking up at Steve.

"Don't forget you collapse lung." The doctor added in.

"Let's not forget that." Fury sighed. "Otherwise, I'm good."

"They cut you open. Your heart stopped." Natasha stated looking at Fury.

"Tetrodotoxin B." Fury stated and went on to explain. "Slows the pulse to one beat a minute. Banner developed it for stress. Didn't work so great for him, but we found a use for it."

"Why all the secrecy? Why not just tell us?" Steve asked.

"Any attempt on the Director's life had to look successful." Hill explained.

"Can't kill ya, if you're already dead." Fury sighed. "Besides, I wasn't sure who to trust."

"So, you trusted Evyn?" Steve frowned.

"Ms. Sparda already didn't trust us." Fury explained, tilting his head over to the side to look at the half-breed hanging out in the far corner away from the group. "You already knew that, she pushes people away, and doesn't give her trust out."

"So, she was the only person who knew about the Director's condition, and gather info." Hill stated.

Evyn leaned against the opposite wall, listening to the plans and look at the group, watching the argument unfold.

"Shield, Hydra. It all goes." Steve stated, catching the half-breed attention.

"He's right." Hill sighed looking at Fury.

The older male looked at Natasha, then at Sam who said,

"Don't look at me. I do what he does, just slower."

Nick nodded and look over at Evyn. "Ms. Sparda?"

Evyn look at Fury, and walked over placing the letter in front of him. "It should've been done a long time ago."

Steve frowned seeing the letter. Nick gently picked it up and read it over, then look at Evyn, and then finally at Steve.

"It looks like you're giving the orders now, Captain." Fury stated with a smirk. "And looks like a big guy agrees with you, long time ago."

"So…I'm not joining them?" Evyn frowned looking at Fury.

"No…from what you told me. You have another agenda to deal with." Fury stated looking at Evyn. "You know where he is?"

"I know how to get his attention." Evyn smiled.

"Do it."

Evyn nodded and walked off.

Let me know what you think!
