I don't have a home. A home is a distraction. In my work one cannot have distractions. I wouldn't necessarily know a home if I had one, though. What there is of my heart is in my work. Not on a doormat. I have met operatives who have families and lives beyond the field. (These operatives do not live long.) What you carry with you, it weighs you down, down, down. You might think I'm cold-hearted. I am. I can't afford distractions. I've got work to do.
...Wherever I go, that is my home. So my thoughts can be in this jungle and none other. And like it is my home I know this place. Like the creaking of old apartment, I know which sounds do not belong.
One with the environment. One of the most valuable skills in espionage. You can gear up with the best swag out there, put on camo, tech, weaponry but it is the unteachable skill to belong anywhere. The other edge of that is the unfortunate truth: you must first belong nowhere.
A good operative knows his environment - his home. He knows which creatures are docile and which are dangerous.
Unfortunately, I admit, I do have a home. I have always had a home. Even if it is not apparent to me or anyone else. Home is where the hurt is. That might be the jungle. It might be back on the streets of my birth city. It might be here. And every home has dangerous predators of its own.025 - Penthesilea26 июля 2018 г.
The Widow. The Russian Avenger. The Slavic Shadow. The Red Death. They have so many names for you.

I don't know if I can do it. Even if I could forgive myself. This is what I am now. And you'll never know who I was before.

If you know my name then you should know I don't play by anyone's rules.
