Agent 3: Execution

Burst

"Please... I won't tell her anything... please don't kill me..." Trey continued, ignoring the noise.

"...Who are you talking to?" Jessica asked.

Suddenly, the sound Jessica could hear got much louder, causing Jessica to grit her teeth in annoyance. She could only watch as Trey's gut began convulsing more violently, and he began screaming from his pain.

Then, Trey's screams turned into a gag as his stomach abruptly ripped open, as multiple silver metal spikes began growing as they were being spawned from inside him, bursting through his skin. Then, more spikes began growing from different locations in his body, like his chest, arms, legs, and then finally, his throat, collectively and completely tearing him apart.

Jessica eyes widened as she watched in horror, as Trey's body was turned into an unrecognizable mold of flesh that was quickly being overtaken by all the metal spikes that were appearing as if from nowhere. Despite Trey already being beyond dead at this point, however, the spikes were still rapidly growing, and in fact seemed to be growing large enough to destroy the whole building at this rate.

She backed up as far as she could and looked around desperately, realizing she needed an escape plan right here and right now unless she wanted to be taken out with him. There were no windows nearby her, and the exit door was on the other side of the growing spikes. Her escape was now or never.

Barely taking any time to think it through, she ran toward the growing spikes, and then transformed into her squid form, doing a small super jump to the ceiling. Quickly turning back to her humanoid form, she swung off the light on the ceiling she super jumped to, landing on the other side of what was left of Trey's body, barely avoiding the hazard. She quickly kicked the door down, and then again turned into her squid form to super jump out and away from the danger.

As soon as Jessica was gone , the spikes then stopped growing, leaving the room a gruesome image of lots of bled ink and many metal spikes protruding from what used to be Trey Jefferson's body.

Meanwhile

Underdogs Base

As the chaos erupted at Trey's workshop and Jessica made her escape, unbeknownst to her, everything was being recorded on a hidden camera. And the camera feed was being streamed right to Hugh Ward's office for him to see.

"I love that part..." Ayesha smiled as she watched Trey burst open on the screen, stepping away from the controls; she had been the one to activate them in the first place, under Ward's command.

Ward, meanwhile, didn't seem happy at all. "We have more pressing concerns than the fact that we just had to off Mr. Jefferson..."

"But just look at all that ink..." Ayesha replied as she licked her lips, not taking her eyes off the screen.

"Focus, Ayesha... we have a problem... that black-haired girl... were you paying attention to her face? To her fighting style?"

"The face, no, but the fighting style, absolutely..." She finally turned back to Ward. "My good old friend, Agent 3..."

Ward watched the screen in frustration. "...Daniel told us he took care of her. He lied to us."

She frowned. "You're not saying we're getting rid of him already, are we...?"

He sighed. "...He's been a valuable tool for us. He's proven his usefulness for sure. But if he lied to us about having killed Agent 3... if he spared her... then we can't trust him."
