Tidal Wave // One-On-One // CLOSED

(sorry, but it's ok since it will make it better if she doesnt really know what's going on)

Carter sensed that she was wanting to use her gun. "No guns," She hissed. "Too much distraction." She fished out a small device from her pocket and started to fix it onto TK, pressing the button. She then did this to herself. Carter turned into Natalia, and TK turned into Natalia's brother. "Cloaking device," She whispered, her voice sounding like Natalia's.

"If she's a hostage," TK whispered back, her hand still on her weapon, "then won't it be…I don't know, a bit suspicious that she and her brother are just wandering around?"

"She's not a hostage," Carter explained. "You just got told that in the brief because your clearance isn't high enough for you to know what's actually going on."

"Absolute bullshit," she hissed, her jaw clenching. "If I can't know what we're actually doing, why am I on this mission?"

"Let me tell you something. You're not supposed to be on this mission with me. Iniko is. There was a freak glitch in the system, and you were paired with me. By the time if came for briefing, it was too late to reassign. So they withdrew information from you."

TK's shoulders tensed. "God, the best spy agency in the world fucks up that badly? Here I thought they were actually decent."

(hey are you okay with swearing or should I tone it down??)

(fuck yeah you can swear
heh
that rhymes)

Carter took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She latched onto TK's elbow, keeping a cool composition. "Let's go, brother."

"Fine, fine," she mumbled. She wished she had half an idea how the brother acted, or what the hell was going on, but she decided to cool it. At least for the time being. Although she was really itching for a good fight right around now. "Where to, Natalia?"

Although her voice was masked, Carter could tell that TK didn't know how to act. "Maybe don't speak. Let me do the talking." She tugged on TK's arm as they started to walk down the hall towards the room.

"Whatever," she said noncommittally. She wasn't here to talk anyways. She reluctantly allowed herself to be led down the hall.

"Hello, boys," Carter cooed in Natalia's voice. Natalia was quite beautiful, and being told she was a desired specimen herself, Carter knew how to act.
"Miss Heinze, how did you get out?"
"Oh? Well, I simply had to go down for dinner."

TK stayed quiet as Carter charmed the guards. She tried to keep her expression neutral, but it was becoming more and more obvious to her that she wasn't ready for this kind of field work.

"Yes, Ms Heinze. But you can't take those devices in," The guard said. "And neither can you, Mr Heinze. You'll have to take them off."

TK stiffened. Did the guard mean the devices they were wearing to mask their appearance? She felt her muscles tensing up and all she wanted was to disarm the guard before he even saw her coming. She began to loosen her grip on her partner, ready for a battle.

"Certainly," Carter smiled. She reached up and took the device off, and her face slowly melted to…Natalia's. She had a backup plan, and she had it on TK as well without the agent's knowledge. She turned to TK and took the device off, and her face turned in Natalia's brother's.

TK breathed a silent sigh. Both relief and irritation spread through chest. She really wanted to knock some heads together, as soon as possible, and she was tired of being kept in the dark. She felt useless and frustrated, and soon she'd start taking things in her own hands. Regardless of what her partner said.

Carter dropped TK's elbow. "May we go through?" She asked.
"Certainly."
"Who is this?!" A female voice yelled, and as the two disguised women turned.
"Oh fuck," Carter cursed, recognising the woman as Natalia.

"I've had enough of this," TK snarled, yanking off her device and revealing herself. She whipped around at breathtaking speed, grabbing the real Natalia and holding a gun to her head. "Alright, everyone, she's coming with us. Make one wrong move and I blow her pretty little head off."

"Oh for fucks sake, Aim! We need Natalia alive! We're not assassins!" She took off the secondary device, revealing herself as Carter.
"Agent Byte!" The guards yelled. Carter cracked her neck.
"Let's get this over and done with."

Way to call my bluff, TK thought, trying to keep the anger out of her face. She bashed her gun against the side of Natalia's face. The woman slumped over, unconscious. Using her as a shield, she hurried forward, firing at two of the guards and taking them out. Six to go. Keeping her grip tight on Natalia, she swept another guard's legs out from underneath him. She fired, taking him out, before dropping Natalia. Only five more to go, but backup was surely on the way.

Carter took out a few guards, then turned to grab Natalia. Anger crossed her face. "You idiot! You've compromised the mission! I needed her conscious! I can't do the mission with her unconscious!"

"If you told me shit," TK screamed back, cracking the last man's skull against the wall, "then maybe I'd do it right! How the hell am I supposed to know? Do you want me to read your mind, Byte?" She hit the man against the wall a few more times, mostly out of anger, before letting him drop to the ground.

With no one around, Carter knew she could teach the new spy a lesson. "You're not a good spy. I don't care if you're a newbie or if you're the top of your class. You're reckless and rush right into things without thinking of the consequences. I needed Natalia conscious, and now thanks to you I have to redo this mission some other time. If I can even do that. If you step one toe out of line, I will personally have you thrown from the agency."

"Bitch, please." TK stormed over to the other girl, glaring at her with the full force of her murderous gaze. Her hands flexed around her gun. "You lie to me and tell me that Natalia is a hostage. I act accordingly. You call my bluff in front of the guards. I adjust accordingly. You chew me out in the middle of the mission, acting like the woman is dead! She should regain consciousness within a few moments. You're being a dramatic child throwing a tantrum and I'm honestly so over it. I'm going to ask to get a new partner as soon as I return." Her voice became a high, nasally imitation of Carter's. "I'll have you thrown from the agency! Bullshit. Your agency doesn't love you as much as you think it does."

"You have no idea how much power I have in this world," Carter said, remaining her composition. "I can break you down, piece by piece and then build you back up again, only to do it all over again. Don't give me that bullshit, because I know how to hurt you. This is why I work alone."

"You're delusional if you think you have power over me," TK laughed, "I can walk away whenever I want. Funny how you addressed the personal attack, instead of addressing the mission." Natalia stirred.

Carter noticed Natalia coming to and grabbed her. She stunned TK and then walked into the room, locking it with a gadget behind her. She was going to finish this mission, and TK was not going to interfere.

(i just wanna make clear that she can't break down the door due to the gadget)

TK crumpled to the ground, her body going numb. "What the fuck," she slurred, trying to speak. Not only had the bitch accused her of sabotaging the mission, she also stunned her? She could hear more guards approaching as an alarm began to blare. "Okay, so she left you," she mumbled, willing her body to move as she tried to fight back the panic. "And there are more guards coming. Damn it. Damn it!" She forced her arm to move so that she could at least grab her gun.

Carter stared at Natalia, waiting for her to fully come to. "Good, you're awake. And now you're going to help me."
"I don't need to help you."
"Natalia, I work for T.I.D.A.L. You have no choice but to help me."
