"FREEDOM!!" I yelled out while stepping off the small plane onto the runway. Receiving wild looks from those around me.

"Please don't do that, you're embarrassing us before we even have our first day," Jack called out nervously, stepping off the plane behind me.

I just ignored him. This was my first time out of the prison that was my foster home for eleven years, and it was a trip to another country! I couldn't wait to finally see this new world I found myself-

"Cadet Rumlow! Please refrain from further outbursts while on campus grounds, or disciplinary actions will be taken."

I glanced over and saw a stocky woman in a blue military uniform, scowling at me from my side. Her long light auburn hair coiled together into a neat bun behind her and a look of utter joylessness was on her face.

Maybe I spoke too soon.

General Hale walked in front of the cages and turned to face Jack and me, her hands clasped behind her back.

"HYDRA Preparatory Academy is a prestigious institute, where only the most illustrious of pedigrees are allowed within our walls. But seeing as the two of you are a part of Taskmaster's little experiment, both of you will have to complete a small test to enter."

Taskmaster? Did she mean Tony?

"General Hale, what happens if we don't pass?" Jack asked.

Hale seemed to be pleased with the question and said, "Either you pass this test or you die, while these prisoners earn their freedom."

The fact that she smiled when mentioning our deaths didn't give me a good feeling about our odds in this test.

Hale gestured towards the two cages, "Both of these people are young S.H.I.E.L.D agents captured by us last month. Your task will be to win a one-on-one fight to the death with your opponent."

S.H.I.E.L.D agents!? How the fuck is an eleven-year-old kid supposed to fight a fucking S.H.I.E.L.D agent!?
