"How's your arm?" Ahren asked, running to catch up with me as i kept walking, not stopping for him. We had been in the Austrain compound for a few days now, only a select few knew of this base before hand but now there's more people milling about than what i think it was made for. It was all majorly build into a mountain, not far from the train tracks from where Allison died.

"There's no hole anymore" I said bluntly, turning into a stairwell, my boots clanging against the metal stairs as i climbed up them two at a time. "Look I'm really sorry" he said, trailing behind me slightly, the noise of both of us bouncing off of the walls as we descended. "Yeah well, not the first time I've been shot" I said, practically trying to run away from him. "When do your new serum experiment start?" He asked me quietly, as I tanked open a door leading to a different floor.

I stopped dead in my tracks, turning around to look at him, my hair whipping around as I did so. "Who told you?" I asked him, cocking my head to the side. "Matthias" he relied, folding his arms. "Not that it has anything to do with you" I said looking down at the ground, rolling my eyes quickly. "When Scmhidt dies, Matthias wants to wait"  I replied, copying his action and crossing my arms.

"Captain America, spies on the inside tell us he's restless" He said, pursing his lips. "Yes well, his best friend died at the hands of HYDRA" I said looking at the floor once again, the mention of Bucky striking something within me, causing me to rub my lips together to stop me from running away from Ahren at high speeds. "If Schmidt dies, we better still have the tesseract, we only harnessed a certain amount of power from it" He said, making me make eye contact with him once again. "How do you know everything?" I snapped, my eyebrows raising.

"Matthias tells you everything first, you seem to know stuff that no one else does. Apparently you've been one of the best agents since you've joined, yet I've never heard of you before" I stated, not skipping a beat to let him answer, taking a step closer to him to try and intimidate him. "Usually I know exactly who my competitors are, the ones i have to stay ahead of to stay on top, but Schmidt nor Matthias ever mentioned you, I didn't even know good agents were in Belgium until I went up there" I continued, dropping my hands down to my side.

"You know, you seem to think you know everything. Maybe you haven't heard of me because you don't care about anything except yourself" he said taking a step closer to me, towering over me, my tactic not working, his jaw set in place. I opened my mouth to respond but he beat me to it. "Believe it or not, you're not the only talented agent out there, just because you're agent 1 doesn't make you number 1" he continued, I knew what he was doing, trying to scare me, but it wasn't working, I wasn't going to wither.

"Oh wait, your not Agent 1 anymore" he said with a laugh, throwing his head back. "And Belgium isn't all that bad, you just think because you're not there that it isn't worth anything, and maybe if you start being a little bit nicer to Matthias he might start telling you things, like how he told me you barely did anything on your location mission, you spent more time getting close to the Americans than you did getting information" he said to me, my face softening on the last point.

"You don't know anything about me" I growled, fully done with him, balling my fingers into a fist in preparation to punch him. "He said you spent more time with some guy, James was it?" he replied with a smirk on his face. At the mention of Bucky i clenched my fists even harder stopping me from hitting him as I knew it wouldn't end well for either of us. "You better watch it, I may of been shot but i can still hit you" I said, pursing my lips. "Maybe you're not as good as you thought you were" he whispered quietly, leaning down closer to my ear. I scoffed gently, finally taking a step away from him, my knuckles going white.

"Walking away from a fight? Doesn't seem like a Ivankova kinda move" he taunted, making me run my tongue over my teeth, rolling my eyes. "No snarky comeback?" he continued, cocking his head to the side and throwing me a grin. "You know what Janssens, you better watch your back" I said before turning on my heel and marching away from him. "I will be" I heard him call as I turned a corner, practically throwing my self against a door, opening up to an empty room.

I slammed the door shut with a grunt, kicking the wall. My breathing had gotten deeper, immensely angry at Ahren. Who did he think he was? Coming in here and talking to me like that. I was going to find out exactly who he is and what he was up to, no matter what it takes.
