The cover image for this chapter isn't Hellsing related, I know, but it'll fit with some of what happens in this chapter.

Y/N sighed. It had been a few months since the job where they met Anderson and the lycan had been on 'good behavior'. He went all Great Grey Wolf Sif on the full moon, but has slowly been learning to transform at will and even retain his awareness and higher thought. Just last week he had transformed and could very clearly remember Seras and Schrödinger scratching behind his ears and under his chin. Y/N chuckled as he remembered the expressions they made upon him turning back and the reveal that he remembered. They were so embarrassed, he thought steam was going to pop out of their ears! The cat and the bat had a sort of rivalry, too. He may not have been able to pick up on what started it or why they were so passive aggressive with each other but he was certain it had to deal with a growing truth.

'Growing' was literal, as Schrödinger had quickly filled out and was nearly identical to Seras from the neck down, though with how much food she ate and how much work she put in the gym it made sense. Sorta. Though It always made him snicker a little as the one thing that hadn't changed much was her height. He had to cut himself short, however, as everyone was called to meet with Integra for something important. Upon meeting in her office, Y/N stood at attention and waited for everyone else. Even Integra was surprised that he was the first to arrive. Once the rest filed in, Alucard entering through a wall behind his master, she began to explain what was going on.

"The heads of several organizations across the world are going to be meeting with the Queen to discuss the recent events, ranging from the attack on the Hellsing estate, Y/N's discovery, and the information we've recovered on Millennium. Y/N, I'm expecting you to fill in the gaps on any plans you might know about where Alucard cannot. Can you do that? If you need something to keep you grounded, I can give you a coin made of a silver alloy-"

"No, no I'll be fine. I'm not there any more and even if it does get rough, I have Seras, Schrödinger, even Alucard and you there to remind me it's just in the past." Integra smiled, glad to see the American had warmed up to her at least enough to consider her a confidant. With that, they were off and Schrödinger seemed a little nervous.

"Relax, she's just an old coot of a figurehead," he half-joked. Schrödinger didn't seem to take it well, so Y/N laid off for a bit. Upon their arrival, Integra lead those necessary for the meeting to the room, however Alucard made it clear he was disinterested in it for the moment and would arrive when called. As Y/N walked, however, he felt a buzz in the back of his head. Like a sense of danger. He wasn't sure what it was but did his best to ignore it.

"Welcome, Sir Integra. These are your new charges?" the voice of an elderly woman asked, Y/N tracing the table to see who all had arrived. Anderson was not among them despite the heavy scent of the priest hanging onto the lithe gentleman with his hair slicked back. The werewolf immediately made the connection and presumed it to be Anderson's handler, much like how Seras was his. Everyone else, Integra had explained were financial advisors and other such roles.

"I'm skipping the pleasantries. We're all here for one reason and one reason only- Millennium needs to die. I don't know about their history past what they've done to me but I can say what I've been through would make your religious hearts boil with 'righteous fury' or whatever. I was kidnapped alongside somewhere around 900 other people. Men, women, children, hell even the family dog! They put the children through grueling training, indoctrinating the youngest of us who didn't know better and beat the ones who did. Night after night, day after day, they beat me with riding crops, batons, and guns. My father was killed when they tried to torture him into submission, forced me to watch in the hopes it would get me to as well. I-" Y/N shook with every emotion from that day hitting all at once, only being brought back when a hand grabbed his wrist. He snapped to see Schrödinger's fearful face, only to look around and see that the queen's guard had their rifles trained on him. Evidently, he'd started a partial transformation without realizing it.

"Oh, you wanna shoot me for being upset my home and family were stripped from me?! You wanna take out your biggest ace in the hole without tall, dark, and brooding?! Maybe you didn't get it in Integra's report but I'm not here because of you! I'm not here because of your shitty God either!" the werewolf spat angrily, ripping himself away from Schrödinger and slamming his hands on the table.

"If you want Millennium gone as much as I do then you can shut the fuck up and listen to what I have to say, even if it makes you wanna puke!" He glared at everyone, eyes landing back on the Queen. She seemed to frown, but it had no anger or disrespect, only a motherly apology.

"Good... I didn't break, despite how bad they wanted me to. Their pet werewolf took a bite out of me and I guess that unlocked my own transformation. Each day after that, they tried to break me. Torture, starvation, branding-" he continued, taking his shirt off to show all the scars he'd developed during that time he'd spent with the Nazi fucks. The man with his hair slicked back recoiled at the sight.

"-none of it could break me. Even still, they had to train me enough to be their trump card. I was supposed to be their main play to take Alucard out." He crossed his arms, gauging reactions. None of them looked happy.

"Now, I can't say for sure I'm not compromised. No one goes through all that and comes out the other side all there. They fucked me up, but I can guarantee I'll fuck 'em up right back. Only I won't give them the courtesy of escape!" Schrödinger began tearing up as she stepped forward.

"I have some bad news. We have a traitor, and that traitor... " she began, everyone snapping their heads to her in surprise.

"... is me..."
