New York Avenue bustled with activity as several cars sped by, carrying an entire row of armed teams from the Bureau of Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support. Natasha Romanoff, a vision of strength, stood among them, accompanied by the bald-headed Nick Fury, the enigmatic director of the bureau. Their mission, initially assigned solely to Natasha, took an unexpected turn when routine inspections disrupted their plans, prompting Nick Fury's direct involvement.

Nick Fury (urgent): "Natasha Romanoff, I've got a bad feeling about this. We need to hurry!"

Fury's intuition hinted at an imminent threat, an unease that lingered beneath the surface. As the team raced towards their destination, an intelligence agent delivered distressing news.

Intelligence Agent: "Director Fury, there's trouble. An armed team has attacked the orphanage!"

A surge of frustration coursed through Fury, culminating in a forceful strike against the window, leaving a conspicuous crack.

Nick Fury (furious): "Damn it! I knew something was off. Full speed ahead to the orphanage!"

Natasha Romanoff, observing Fury's wrath, sensed a deeper conspiracy at play.

Natasha (skeptical): "It seems the higher-ups aren't clean."

Her suspicions hinted at a potential betrayal within their ranks. The sudden routine inspections raised questions about the true motives behind this mission. Fury, too, harbored resentment, plotting retribution against those who orchestrated this disruption.

Nick Fury (determined): "After this, heads will roll."

As the convoy accelerated, Fury's mind raced with potential targets, focusing on HYDRA infiltrators within the organization. The identity of the inspecting authority had become apparent, leading Fury to a grim realization.

Nick Fury (whispering): "The top isn't as clean as it seems."

In the midst of this turmoil, the battle at the orphanage unfolded tragically. Gunfire echoed through the once-peaceful courtyard, accompanied by the anguished cries of soldiers from both HYDRA and those under Shadow's control. The situation intensified as soldiers engaged in a fierce struggle, leaving behind a haunting tableau of death and chaos.

Within the orphanage building, the conflict shifted towards its climax. Solo, the black officer, observed from a distance, unable to discern the unfolding events. The peculiar nature of the earlier skirmish, where soldiers acted without control, had left Solo hesitant to approach the building.

As gunshots ceased, an eerie silence settled, signaling an abrupt end to the violence. Slowly, soldiers emerged from the building, blood-stained and battle-worn. Solo, anxiously awaiting news, was approached by a soldier delivering a hard-won update.

Soldier: "Sir, all controlled individuals have been neutralized. We've captured the kid in the hall."

Solo, relieved by the news, urgently requested to see the captured individual. The soldiers, still reveling in their success, led Solo towards the orphanage's heart.

Meanwhile, Fury's convoy approached its destination, driven by urgency and the relentless pursuit of answers. Back at the orphanage, a shocking revelation awaited Solo. As he stepped into the hall, a meticulously arranged sight confronted him – soldiers standing in military formation, flanking a sofa where a young boy with two-color pupils sat casually.

Shadow (calmly): "Sir Solo, I've been waiting for you."

The mirrors that adorned the orphanage became Shadow's instruments of control, allowing him to manipulate the soldiers and orchestrate Solo's unwitting entrance.

Solo, sensing a trap, attempted to retreat, but it was too late. Bright red eyes and the inverted V-shaped geass logo appeared, ensnaring Solo in Shadow's command.

Shadow (commanding): "Answer my questions, then eliminate the person who sent you. Until death."

The geass took hold, sealing Solo's fate. As the realization dawned on him, Shadow calmly asserted his dominance, setting the stage for a confrontation that transcended mere physical battles, delving into the realms of power and manipulation. The orphanage, once a sanctuary, now echoed with the unfolding drama that would redefine the course of their intertwined destinies.
