Her mind raced, filled with nothing but regret. How could she have let her guard down? Had she gone soft? The thought was a bitter poison.
Thoughts flew through her mind as she watched, her teeth clenched so tightly in anger she felt her jaw might break. The soldiers held their weapons aimed at her, ready to engage at any minute.

the red badged soldier said, walking to Yelena's front. His tone and character were now completely different, stripped of the calm politeness from moments before.
Seeing him stand in front of her, Yelena snapped out of her defensive stance and stood normally, her blood boiling. She stared at him, her eyes filled with pure bloodlust, a deadly and serious look on her face.
