Chapter 1
The asset had been waiting for this moment. The perfect opportunity to strike and make its - no her escape. The soldier had planned this from the moment she hit her head and realized that she didn’t belong here. She still didn’t know who she was or how she got here. Just that it was wrong and she had to get out.
The new handler was dumb enough to leave her alone with the technician and only one guard standing next to The Chair that she was sitting in. The guard was obviously new and not very capable. The fool wasn’t even paying attention. He was probably told by the other agents that she was basically harmless when not on a mission.
A fatal mistake.
When the technician turned around to put the rest of his tools away, she saw an opening and took it. She reached up and quickly snapped his neck before standing and kicking the gun out of the guards’ hand.
“Soldier! Stand down!” The guard shouted while backing up and reaching for his walkie talkie. “Help! The asset has gone rouge! I repeat the asset ha-“ That was all he managed to get out before the asset grabbed his arm and flipped him over her shoulder. She pulled out one of the knives that she had been keeping in her boots and slit his throat.
She could hear her handler’s voice coming through from the dead guards’ walkie talkie. “All available agents capture and subdue The Asset.” The Asset faltered when she heard her the familiar voice of her handler. Part of her wanted to stop, in fear of being punished, but another part of her knew that she would never get another chance like this again. So she continued.
She took the guards gun, left the room, and headed towards the exit.

She picked off every hydra agent that she came across. She couldn’t afford to leave anyone in the facility alive. As she went, she left small but strong bombs behind her. The building needed to be blown up to catch any of them that she missed or any that tried to hide.
Upon reaching the exit she detonated the bombs and continued running. She kept running until her lungs were burning and all she could see behind her were trees and black smoke. At this point she really regretted not stealing a car on the way out.
She managed to cross two states before she dropped to her knees in exhaustion.
“Are you alright there sweetie?” She jumped at the noise and immediately pointed her gun to the source.
“Oh my!”
