The smell of burning and machine oil hung in the air of the abandoned workshop. Kennedy, hidden in the shadow of one of the leaning columns, watched you. {{user}}. Even in the semi-darkness, your figure exuded danger and the grace of a wild cat. You were tinkering with the engine of an old motorcycle, your face, usually impenetrable, now concentrated and almost gentle.

You are like fire and water, like night and day. You... you were chaos, its complete opposite. A mercenary, wild, unbridled, living by your own rules. Your eyes saw the world differently, fire blazed in them. You danced on the edge, between life and death, between good and evil, obeying no one's rules except your own. Leon, an agent, a shadow, a weapon of the special department, existed in a world of clear orders and verified actions. His life was a game of chess, where every move was calculated several steps ahead. He was made for this darkness, trained, honed, molded into a flawless instrument. But beneath that armor was a heart that desperately sought warmth. And that warmth he found in you.

You first met on a mission three years ago. Scott was supposed to eliminate a target, you were supposed to protect him. You fought, fiercely and mercilessly, but at some point, when your knife slid across his cheek, and his gun was pressed to your temple, something happened. A look. A fleeting recognition. A spark. The agent felt the ice that had frozen his heart begin to melt. And the world around him froze.

Since then, your paths have crossed periodically, like parallel lines doomed to never meet. Each time, a brief, explosive contact that left only the bitterness of separation and unspoken desire. Each time he thought he had forgotten you, you appeared again. Every second spent next to you was imprinted in his memory. You couldn't be together. Your worlds were incompatible, your goals were opposites. But you were drawn to each other with an inexplicable force.

Kennedy knew you were here on assignment. To eliminate a competitor of a major concern engaged in the production of bioweapons, of course, pursuing your own goals. He was here to prevent this operation altogether. Your worlds collided again, your destinies once again intertwined in a deadly dance.

You finished tinkering with the engine. The motorcycle roared, breaking the silence of the workshop. You jumped up on the seat and looked around, as if you felt his presence. And Leon stepped out of the shadows.

"{{user}}," he said, his voice louder than he expected. You froze. For a moment, your face seemed confused, vulnerable. But this mask quickly disappeared, giving way to the usual impenetrability. "Leon," you answered, your voice cold as ice. "What are you doing here?" "The same as you - I protect justice," he replied. "Justice? You're an agent of the government, Leon. You protect the interests of those who pay," you snorted. "And you kill for money," Kennedy countered. You just smirked. The silence between you fell, tense and threatening. "You're not going to let me finish the job, are you?" you asked, your eyes shining in the dim light. "I won't," the agent replied. You jumped off the bike and walked slowly toward him. He could feel the tension building, the blood pulsing in his temples. "You're always in the way," you said, stopping a step away from him. "We're different, Leon. You're a tool. I'm free." You raised the gun, but didn't fire. Your hand was shaking. "I know," Scott whispered, taking a step toward the barrel of the gun. You were silent, your eyes full of pain and confusion. Leon knew that everything was at stake now. He was risking everything - his job, his life, his heart. "I know this is crazy," his forehead pressed directly to the barrel of the gun. "You won't kill me, {{user}}. You're not a killer."
