#blue beam

It had now been 2 years since she had been kidnapped by HYDRA. She had begun doing short, small field missions just after she turned twelve a year ago, going by the codename “The Blue Beam”, or sometimes, “Nightshadow.”. Blue, her alter ego, did all the work, HYDRA making Blue take over her mind whenever they needed her for a mission. It was time for another mission. 

Evelyn knew what was going to happen. Not that she could stop it. HYDRA had her under their control. Blue would come out and execute the mission with ease. No regard for what It might do for her mental state. Why was she worrying about that? She was only 11. She shouldn’t have to worry about being a murderer for a covert terrorist organization that’s been around since the 40s and shouldn’t have to worry about displeasing her handlers. She shouldn’t have to worry about having powers and abilities she didn’t fully understand, and not being fully able to control them on her own. She shouldn’t be this smart at 11. But she was. Nothing could change that. She’d been with them for 2 years now, she should know what to expect at this point. But this mission was different. This wasn’t some random person HYDRA was targeting. This was a personal test of her “loyalty” and strength. Not that she would be the one executing it. It would be her other side. Blue. This mission was different. This mission was her sister.Evelyn didn’t want to do it. She had to. She was getting ready for her mission when she was approached by a HYDRA official. “We have someone you need to meet” He says cooly. He then brought out The Winter Soldier. “Take him down” Orders. Not a challenge, but orders. To hand to hand fight the Winter Soldier, and win. Not too hard right? She stood face to face with the Winter Soldier, watching as he analyzed and sized her up. He wasn’t an easy opponent. She took a glance at his metal arm, and realized that if she disarmed him, she’d have the upper hand. She swiftly charged at him and grabbed his metal arm, trying to disarm him. She then swings herself over him, effectively bringing him down to the ground in a matter of seconds. He didn’t even have time to react before he was on the ground. They continued to fight, Evelyn landing most of her blows, and he would hit her every so often. But eventually, something broke through to the Soldier that he was fighting, and losing, to a mere child. He then stopped with a look of horror on his face, a hint of the man he was before shining through. 

“Who… are you?” He mumbled under his breath. “What?” She said, backing up into a fighting stance.

The official eventually called her the winner, and sent the soldier away. Had she really just beaten The Winter Soldier???? It felt… strange. He had not seemed like a killer in those last few moments. It seemed like he had realized something that she couldn’t see. Another official approached her. “You are flying out to Wyoming today. To complete the mission of killing Rory Lune.” Her heart sank at that name. She’d known they’d come for Rory, but she didn’t know they’d send her. They sat her down in a chair and recited and entered the Blue Beam’s code. She felt a rush of cold go through her body. And her thoughts were pushed to the back of her head. “Ready to comply,” Blue said coldly. The handler grinned. It had worked, per usual.

“Blue, your mission is to eliminate Rory Lune, a 15 year old girl in western Wyoming.” The handler says.

“Of course sir. When do I leave?” Blue said calmly.“You are to leave now. The chopper is lined up on the tarmac outside.” Her handler says calmly.

Blue suited up, grabbing some guns and knives from the armory just in case. She then boarded the chopper and sat down with her handler, and a few other field agents. She didn’t need backup, but it was customary to always have some on missions like these. Especially if Evelyn broke through Blue’s control, they’d have to have her on comms so that they could re-enter the code. This had happened before, but Evelyn was smart enough to not do it again. The pain was too much. As the chopper took off, her handler gave her a brief mission debriefing, explaining Evelyn’s relations to Rory and how Blue couldn’t let Evelyn break through on this mission.

“You mustn't let her break through at all,” Her handler, Aldrek, said calmly.

“Of course sir. I am stronger than her," She says calmly.

“Eliminate the girl, no witnesses. Have even a single witness and you get a punishment”

“You know I never have any witnesses sir.”

“I’m simply warning you. Hesitation counts as well”

“Yes sir”

Evelyn, under Blue’s control, was terrified. Rory would for sure recognize her, even though her green eyes were now teal, and the front parts of her hair were turning teal, along with streaks in her hair. Her hair was also much longer, but Rory would know. Evelyn attempted a sigh, but Blue stopped her. Typical. As they flew across the country, to Wyoming, where her sister was, she was just trying to remain somewhat in control. Her hands began sparking with turquoise sparks, which happened sometimes when she felt strong emotions. Blue wasn’t happy about that. She grasped Evelyn’s metal hand with her left sparking hand, and since all of her nerves were attached to her metal hand, she had feelings and her powers could be used. Blue placed her right, sparking hand on her left wrist, sparking against her skin, hoping to stop her. Evelyn winced and pulled her hand away. She’d gotten used to this unfortunately.

They landed at an old abandoned HYDRA base in Wyoming, not far from where the Lune family’s Wyoming mansion was. The Lune family, Evelyn’s adoptive family, were rich. Her late adoptive father had owned an industry called “Lune Industries” and it was an extremely successful business. They had had a mansion in Wyoming and in North Carolina, where their two main buildings were. She knew this view. She’d been here multiple times in their travels. This was going to hurt.

“Asset TSB-2188, please exit the chopper and head out to complete your mission. Stay on communications, and report back every fifteen minutes. You have a time limit of 4 hours. We will be waiting here. If you require backup, say it over comms” A voice in her ear whispered. “Understood commander.” Blue jumped off of the ledge, as they were hovering about ten feet from the ground. She knew this area, and would use Evelyn’s prior knowledge of it to her advantage. Evelyn was silently waging a war with her internal thoughts as Blue worked. Blue was so much better than her. She knew that.
