Life of Alexia Barnes

My First Assignment Part 2

The person Dr. Zola told me to kill was in the woods. She was hiding out in her cabin. It was a 3 hour drive. Inside the car was 2 soldiers and Robbie. I was looking over the file when Robbie started to talk to me.

"I know this isn't going to be easy for you." he said.

I scoff. "Of course it won't be easy for me Robbie...I'm killing an innocent person." I whisper/yell to him. "I'm scared... I feel like my humanity and compassion is being drained out by Dr. Zola."

"I know and I'm sorry. But I brought something for you that will hopefully help." He lifted up the necklace Bucky gave me. Hydra had taken it when I first came.

I gasp. "How did you get it?"

Robbie said "I know were Zola hid it."

I put it on and tucked it underneath my suit so hydra wouldn't see it."Thank you Robbie".

He nods . Then the soldier who's driving comes to a stop and says "We're here."   

Robbie says to me "Here's the plan, the cabin is 10 minutes ahead. There you will take her out, then look around for valuables like files,documents,vital stuff like that. Then come back. You have 4 hours to complete the mission. I f you're not back we'll send backup."

"Okay " I nod. I leave the car. When I reach the cabin I see her through the window looking at files. I put my bow and arrow up. When I'm about to release I hear Steve's voice.

"Alexia, what are you doing?"

I turn and there he was wearing his captain america suit without his helmet on and he was holding his shield.

"Steve, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to stop you and to tell you what a big mistake this is." he says taking a step closer towards me.

"You're not real...you're...you're dead." I scream at him.

"I am dead,I am.That aside this isn't you. Bucky wouldn't want you to do this."

"Shut up Steve!" I yell"If I don't do this Rose will die."

"Please...don't do this." Steve whispers.

"I'm sorry Steve...but I have to do this...for Rose."

I turn to the cabin and aim the bow and arrow at Dr. Beckett  and release the arrow it lands in her stomach I put 2 more in.I go into the cabin.She's on the bleeding. She looks at me barely alive.

"Alexia Barnes?"I just nod. She says " the S.S.R. are trying to save you...I had figured out where they were keeping you....we were going to rescue you  tomorrow...but now they can't because they needed me for the mission that no one else knows about.

I started sobbing and I kneel next to her and take her hand. "I'm so sorry Dr. Beckett...they...they...they said said they would kill Rose Carter if I didn't kill you!"

"Rose Carter works at the S.S.R. and she's fine Aexia she...she misses you. Don't...Forget...that...you're...still..human." Then she closed her eyes. She had no pulse.

"Dr.Beckett ,I'm sorry,I'm sorry!" I say crying uncontrollably.

I see flowers outside. I gather some up and I pull the 3 arrows out of her stomach and I lay the flowers on her stomach and put her hands on them so it looked like she was holding them. I then kiss her forehead  and say "Please forgive me." As tears fall from my eyes.

I then get up and look for for files ,documents,anything. But there was nothing.

I go back to the car. When I get in one of the soldiers ask "Agent Barnes was there anything you could find?"

"No. Nothing." I say

The other soldier says "She's dead agent?"

I look out the window "Yeah, she's dead."

When we leave Robbie just looks at me with a sad expression on his face.

After awhile I say to him "Does it ever get easier?"

"What?" he asks.

"Killing people. Does the pain of killing people. Does the pain ever get easier?"

Robbie looks down and after awhile he says"No."
