               𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐃 𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐆 ricochet through the small building ― blood dribbled down Avery's chin, as she closed her eyes in pain. Alla pulled back ― like she had touched a flame, she felt useless because if she stepped in ― she would end up like Avery. 

"Go ahead." Avery spoke, blood dribbling down her chin. "Do it, I dare you." She seethed, before she was kicked in the side ― her body flipping over and hitting a broken wooden board. A bit of the dark wood, stuck into her back. 

A loud hiss came out of her parted lips, as she panted. 

"Dad!" Alla screamed, as her mother pulled her back ― Avia closed her eyes in shock and horror. She had never seen this side of her husband. "You're hurting her." Alla weeped as she is curled in her mothers arms.

Just as her father was about to hit her again, her leg shot out. Her father fell backwards, as she rolled over and slammed her heel into his abdomen. "Fuck!" He cursed, as she pulls herself up. Alla runs to her side. 

"Are you alright?" She questioned, and Avery quickly pushed her out of the way ― barely missing the oncoming punch by an inch. She leaned her body against the wall, as she brings herself to a sitting position. 

Alla watched with beady eyes, as their mother held her back. "Dad. Please." Ivanna begged as well, struggling against his bodyguards ▬ she had managed to find her sister, unlike the FBI. Raisa felt her blood pumping as she once again hit her foot into his chest. 

He went flying back, as she pushed herself up finally. "I will never join you," She spoke through gritted teeth as more blood dribbled down her chin. "You will have to kill me to even think that I would ever join you."

"FBI, put your hands up so that I can see them!" Derek Morgan's voice vibrated through the small room, and Avery lets out a breather. Derek's eyes roamed the room, until finally landing on the older agent that everyone had found it was actually Raisa. 

Her father smirked before pulling his gun out of his waistband, and making a desperate move to shoot his daughter, who in the end ▬ kicked his gun away from his hands, and Derek pulled him up as Rossi was by her side.

Her focus was going and she stumbled, David quickly grabbed her to make sure she didn't stumble or hurt herself more. "Raisa, I need you to keep your eyes open for me." He spoke, his voice fading into the background. 

"She's about to pass out." Eddie spoke, as he placed his hand on her shoulder ▬ and just like he had said, she fell forward.

        𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐀'𝐒 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐃 open, the insistent beeping beside her ▬ irritating the Russian women. "Ms Rico, your awake." The nurse yelped, in a distressed manner ▬ it was like she was scared of her. "Great, I'll go get your doctor." She spoke, before rushing out of her room leaving Raisa confused. 

"Avery▬ Raisa, whatever the hell your name is ▬ your awake." He breathed, as he stood at the doorframe, and Raisa couldn't help but feel a bit guilt. Not only had she lied to her team for almost two decades, she had lied to everyone she cared about.

"Eddie." She whispered, as a singular tear rolled down her cheek. "I'm so sorry." 

"Why?" He spoke, hurt. It hit her like a tun of bricks, "Why did you lie?" He questions, and she took a deep breath, that one question ▬ why? She looked away from him, as tears now freely roamed down her cheek. 

"I had lost my brother, Eddie." She spoke, softly. "What exactly did you expect me to do?" Eddie sighed, understanding her more than his twin brother ▬ who had refused to come see her, as he took a seat beside her, he reached and grabbed her hand. 

"I understand." He spoke, and she looks over at him. "I▬ I nearly lost Carson a couple years ago, when our house was broken in to." He admitted, and Raisa took a deep breath in, "But he, he doesn't." 

"I know." She breathed. "I know, that he doesn't ▬ and I totally understand none of you trusting me anymore." She spoke, and Eddie let out a small chuckle.

"Just because you lied, doesn't mean we are going to kick you out of the team Raisa. You just need to start using your real name, luckily for you was changed on your ID." He spoke, "And continue to open up, and let us help." 

A small smile appeared on her face before she hummed in agreement.
