Discuss Au Revoir's hidden past... (Time -1)

You'd managed to learn a lot about each of the Girls by this point. You'd collected info by spying, by interrogation, and even by word of mouth from other agents. However, with how close you'd managed to get to your agent, you wondered if you might be able to hear something new from the horse's mouth. Namaste had told you that you'd need to learn each agent's history if you wanted to really understand the danger you were in. She'd also told you not to trust in other people's testimony... but you really had hope that your fellow agents were people you could trust. You decided to take the risk and attempt to extract some sensitive info straight from the source.

You found Au Revoir in the middle of an impressive set of push-ups, lying over the floor and sweating in her tank-top and gym shorts. When she spotted you watching, she gave a sultry wink and a big grin. "Viewing party, eh, Little New Ciao? Watch all you want!"

It was an appealing idea, but you shook your head, telling her you had a more serious conversation topic in mind. You needed to know about her real history... Several people had hinted that she was an Adder agent before defecting to join CEDIT. You couldn't accept that at face value... you had to know why she defected.

The grin slowly left the woman's face as she changed her position, now pushing up with just one arm and crossing her other behind her back. Her face settled into a stormy frown as she stared straight forward towards nothing in particular. "Adder is the enemy now. I see them that same way, same as you. That is all you need to know."

You continued to press her, reminding her that you now had Bound Blood 1000 coursing through your veins. Adder was in your very genes... if her past could help you understand the threat, you needed to know.

The woman sighed, then finally replaced both hands upon the floor and pushed herself backwards to a sitting position. She drank deeply from a bottle that you hoped contained water rather than ****... it was hard to tell, with her. "We may be more alike than you expect in that regards. Adder put all kinds of shit into my body too, before I got away. Not the good stuff that Au Revoir likes inside her body either... I am talking about genetic modification. How much of this glorious body before you is the result of her own training and efforts... how much of it is the result of their fucking meddling? I could not tell you..."

You asked her if she meant that her musculature was the result of their tampering, or was it deeper than that?

"It's not just that, no. My reflexes. My strength. My speed. All of it... I can't tell where I begin and the super soldier they tried to make me begins. Every day, I try to reclaim my body, to make Au Revoir belong to me. I want to be my own person and yet I can never verify that I am, Ciao..." You detected genuine sadness in her eyes as she stared down at her large, frankly masculine hands.

You jokingly asked if destroying her brain cells with booze was her way at getting back at Adder.

"Ha ha ha ha! Oooh, you always know just how to cheer me up, Ciao! Maybe wanting to get fucked in the ass is also my way of getting back at them? Do you want to help me with that, hmm?"

... You gave her a noncommittal answer for now.

"Oui, oui... 'next time.' I get it." She put on another kindly smile, then crossed her arms over her knees. "Aaah, enough of reminiscing about the old days. They are not worth dwelling upon. I will make myself my own Au Revoir by squeezing every bit of vitality from this body of mine, every day. Join me in training!"

... You kind of wished you'd taken the sex now. Instead, you were **** to endure a tough training regiment.{if Combat Skill = 1} Even though you considered yourself a combat specialist, this kind of training really was torturous, worse than anything you'd endured in CEDIT's boot camps or the field...{endif} Finally, after a long, sweaty workout, you were permitted to leave back to mission control.
