Mia slowly walked into the living room behind the man. The room was large and open concept, with a large group of sofas and a dining table behind it but in front of the kitchen bar counter. Mia froze for a second. The man smiles at Mia.
“Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, My name is Labryce Daniel, The Rank 3 Agent; Pole” Mia looks down as Labryce lays his hand on Mia’s shoulder.
“No need to be tense, dinner will be done soon… but, before I show you to your room, it’s only fair that we introduce ourselves” Mia looks around. Labryce sits on the couch as Mia reluctantly sits down across from him. Labryce grabbing twins like two puppies.
“These two are our chaotic tiny’s…” One of them, the red eyed one from earlier, waves.
“My name… is… Kajun… Daniel” Labryce high fives him.
“Good job, buddy” The other waves as Labryce calmly smiles. The other one's eyes were a calm blue, other than that, the twins were copy and pasted.
“And the other one is Nikia Daniel, he isn’t really talkative though” Mia calmly waves back to Nikia. Labryce turns around to the kitchen
“And back there’s my wife, Mina Daniel-” She smacked Labryce from across the room somehow.
“I thought I told you I wanted to introduce myself!” Labryce chuckles.
“Sorry, hunny” Mina smiles at Mia from the kitchen, her long straight and black hair falling seemingly effortlessly over her shoulders, matching her blue eyes.
“Welcome to our humble abode, Mia, hope you can find peace with us during your stay” Mia nods and waves back.
“Thanks… f-for… letting me stay and all…” Labryce smiles.
“No problem, Mia… now, let’s get you sorted into your temporary room. Shall we?” Mia nods and rises standing.
“Yeah… sure”
Mia walked down the wooden flooring, the garden courtyard pouring light into the house walkway.
“I used to be just like you, y’know” Mia perks up, looking at Labryce as he continues.
“I thought my ability wasn’t fit to make me an Agent… so I hid under my curly hair and on the screen of my phone…” Mia listens closely.
“But despite the fact my Ability didn’t seem combat effective, I was drafted into the AWA and made to become an Agent, and I discovered just how strong my ability could be if I put effort into making it strong.” Labryce stopped walking, his footsteps echoed across the floorboards. Mia gulps as Labryce.
“Mia… I know this is hard… your whole life is changing around you… the World is truly harshest… to those who are the kindest… don’t fall victim to it…” Mia holds his breath. Labryce turns to Mia and smiles.
“But no matter what, just know that… you’re not alone and there’s always someone who’s gone through the same thing you’re going through, and you WILL make it out alive” Mia’s eyes widen and he nods.
“O-Okay” Labryce smiled and stopped in front of a door.
“This… is where you’ll be staying” Labryce slowly slid the door open. The room was double the size of his original and had a quiet, yet calming, feel about it. There were two windows; each looking out into beautiful wilderness.
Mia stepped in the room and all of his pain and aching disappeared with the beauty of the small room. He walked in and put his bags on the floor in awe of the room. Labryce smiled and closed the door to let Mia have a moment alone.
Mia swallowed his food and exhaled, slightly holding in a burp. Putting his fork down and bowing his head slightly.
“Thank you for the food,” Mina smiles.
“No problem, Mia, glad you enjoyed it” Mia smiles and nods. Respectfully standing and pushing his chair back in. He exhaled and walked over to the edge of the walkway beside the garden and looked out over it.
The garden was pretty small in its own right, but there was a small creek bed running through the middle, crested along the sides with some simple rocks. Moss climbed across the rocks and flowers grew between the cracks. Several tall stocks of Bamboo were growing right on the water edge, and the water itself was faintly flowing and nearly perfectly reflective. A hand rests on Mia’s shoulder.
“Gah!” Mia jumps and almost falls off the edge of the walkway, but Mina catches him.
“Sorry, Mia, didn’t mean to scare you…!” Mia chuckles and finds his balance.
“It’s okay, Ms. Daniel… need something?” Mina smiles.
“Yes, actually… I need some files and papers from you” Mia raises an eyebrow.
“Files and papers…? Like what?” Mina rubs her chin slightly.
“Medical information, general clothes opinions, sizes and such… we’d also need a detailed image of what you’d want your Agent costume to look like” Mia tilts his head.
“Agent… costume?” Mina nods.
“Exactly, it’s a uniform or suit you wear on missions or patrols, could be entirely aesthetic or be helpful with joint braces or gear to help when using your ability…!... also… we don’t want our Agents fighting in skin tight tuxedo’s do we?” Mia chuckles.
“Not really… I don’t wanna at least” Mina chuckles back and nods in the direction of her home office.
“Let’s get it done then, shall we?”
