《A marvel rise》Chapter 24
Advertisement
Over lunch Peggy explain the mission, at the agency she was now working the SSR. She had manage to decode a message that link Howard, a secret group called Leviathan and children. Her boss wanted someone that knew the territory in Russia, she had already contacted the howling commandos they had agreed to meet them their. She was hoping to rope in one more ex soldier to this mission.
"James should be going, so why are you in need of my help? Cause from what you've explain, you have a part of the howling and some of your guys from the SSR are going as well. So what is my role in all this Pegs?" Alex said as he push away his empty plate.
"I think hydra might be involve. And theirs a secondary location that I need you to hit, while I go with the rest." Peggy said as she lowered her voice.
"Wait, what? What do you mean second locations? And why is it that I'm going in alone. Tell me Pegs, what really going on here." Alex said any cheer he had over the deliciouse fish an chip left him.
Peggy sigh. "Howard is in trouble, someone is framing him. I was helping him finding out who but when I last spoke to him, we got into a nasty fight. So I left, then two days ago I come in to work, only to learn that the SSR have captured a coded message. Its about Leviathan, Howard and a weapon deal, that somehow involves an orphanage, near where the deal is about to be struck. The problem is, that my boss is going to ignore the orphanage and focus on the deal. So I need you to go in my place at the orphanage, and see what it has to do with a child package they mention." Peggy said she had started by looking down, only to slowly raise her head as she poured out her heart to him.
"And why alone, you and I both know what you're capable of on your own. Who was the one who volunteer to get capture as bait, without weapons, and by the time the rest of the team enter, everyone inside was either dead or knock out cold. We found you in their kitchen making a sandwich, complaining that the food they served you was crap, so you decided to make your own food. You broke out of prison, killed almost everyone, without weapons or back up." Peggy said as she stared at him, with a look that challenge him to deny.

This was also another reason everyone else of the howling called him crazy, the time were he done something for food or thing he consider important for culture was numerous. But they all had one common factor, when Alex went berserk, his allies had nothing to be worried about they where safe. Not so much if you happen to be his ennemy, if you where it was wise to run like never before.
"Well shit." Alex said
"Languages!" Peggy said in a teacher like not approving tone.
"Sorry, fine you've convince me, il go and see what I can dig up. If hydra is involved, I get rid of them, and if something shady is going on with the little Olivers, Il give them some porridges." Alex said as gave her a grin.
"Thank you." Peggy said as she smiled. Knowing that if Alex went then whatever happen it would be resolve.
Somewhere over Russia.
"You know it been a while since ive done this." Alex said to the pilot as he shouted over the noise.
"Are you sure you just want me to fly over, and leave you all alone out their?" The pilot said for the tenth time.
"Frank, life is like a mystery box, sometimes you just got to rip the lid off, and yell at the hidden puppet inside." Alex said in his best sage voice.
"My name is Roger, not Frank, Chis, Paul, Bob, laurence or any other names you've called me during this flyte. Isn't my name Im called Roger." Roger? the pilot said in exasperation.
"Sure, sure, your name is your name. But I kind of think you look more like a Bruce." Alex said with a grin. Alex very well knew what the pilots name was..... He just wanted to pist him off a bit, ever since he told him he was parachuting alone over Russia, he'd ask one to many times if he was serious. Hence the name calling.
"Whatever where here." Bruce? The pilot said
"Ok see you on the other side Jane." Alex said he jump out of the plane. As he jump he swore he hear, the word "asshole" being shouted from somewhere, must be his imagination.

As Alex descended, he went throught what found out before coming here. The location he was going to investigate was a real orphanage, foreshadowing much, officially it was own buy a small shell company who provided weapons. So it was a shadow site no questions, probable governmentally funded to hide whatever it is they where hidding. So this mission was going to go south as soon as he was spotted, the question was does he step in and help if he finds any living victims, or does only smash and grab any info. He would figure it out once he eliminated all hostiles forces.
He landed without any problem, he pack up his chute, unhook the front bag he had on him, taking out his equipment for this mission. For this mission he brought a map of the area, a compass, a flash light, a sniper rifles scope, M1911 pistol with a silencer with extra amos, a ka-bar knife, a nifty little device that coiled a steals wire in it which it could also be use as a garrote, a nine inch nail that had a long flat rectangle head for better support in one palm, six trowing knives, two flash bangs, two smoke grenades, goggles of his own designs to see in the dark, a mask that filter smoke and water and a rope with a grabbling hook.
Of Course he was also wearing the lates body armor as well, he was still a normal human, he still hasn't gone throught the first phase yet. He was only missing a few more things, before his first step into a life full of new possibilities, he should have everything he needed by time he got back.
Thanks to his night goggles, he could approach the orphanage without any problem. From where he was to their it was about five miles from what he could gather from his map. It was still pretty late so if he hustle he could make it before sunrise. Alex treck in the forest making good time, watching his step as he made his way to the orphanage.
It was still dark, but soon the sun would rise. Alex was observing the place. "Either the people here really like fortes, or all the orphans are super important to this country." Alex said as he was looking at the fortify building before him.
It was surounded by a two meter stone wall with only one gate to come in or out, their was about four building inside. One look like it was somekind of storage, another look like a garage, another look like some school and the last looked to be a forte build to resist a siege. Add the guard tower that were at all four corner, the patrol also going around. And well this started to look less and less like an orphanage an more like some shady millitary operation base.
"Possibles training facility for some sort of super spy or soldier, and if kids are involve, then its more then likely that their being brainwash. Great not only do I need to watch out for the guards and teachers, but the kids might stab me in the back." Alex said in frustration
"Well Im going to get some rest, observe them during the day and I'll sneak kill them tonight, if nothing fuck up happens during the day." Alex said as found a nice hidding spot to grab some sleep.

Jordan, the last living Sorceress of Bal’Talanor blood, has come of age at last. She is the rightful Heir, but she has grown up on Earth, unmindful of her identity. She has never heard of the world of Andoherra, nor of World Queens, and, to her, magic is nothing but a parlour trick. When she accidentally finds her way back to her homeland, she discovers her true nature, her awakening power – and the flamboyant Fire Queen who stands between her and her destiny. Calyx is a deadly Sorceress bound by duty to protect Jordan. She will stop at nothing to restore the heir to the throne and slay all those who stand in the way. This should be an easy task – well within the capabilities of her immense magic – but there are three things she didn’t bargain for: losing Jordan, a vengeful dragon, and the small problem of feelings for her mortal enemy, Nerys. Most frustrating of all, she doesn’t have long to debate which issue is the more pressing concern. The starving world of Andoherra is sliding toward total self-destruction, and all the magic in existence doesn't appear to be able to make a damned thread of difference.

On the second jump, Claire's bad leg gave way and she felt herself tumbling forward. A cry of surprise escaped her and Claire was certain she was about to topple off the side of the train. Alek, however, moved quickly, catching her mid-fall and keeping her upright, and alive. Claire lifted her eyes to meet his which were wide with alarm. The expression was fleeting, lasting for only a moment before it was replaced by a frown. "You could have fallen," he said pointedly."I know," Claire breathed, finding her thoughts drifting to the strong arm wrapped around her waist. A flush rose to her cheeks and she was grateful for the biting wind that masked her reaction. "Thank you.""You need to be more careful," he continued, his eyes locked on hers, bright and haunting in the silver glow of the moon overhead."I will," Claire assured him, her heart skipping in her chest.
