Bombs and Blush (OC X Callie)

Chapter 3: The day they met

I wake up in what seems to be where I was last time in Deca Tower. Not much has changed. No creepy eyes though. I look to my hand. That's a deep cut...
I get up and continue my search around. I inspect the lockers, try to find one I'd always rent. 33, 33, 3- Ah, here it is. I check my pockets for a key. Nothing. Great... I start to shiver as the piercing cold goes through my jacket. As I walk to the key rack near the entrance, glass and other rubble get crushed beneath my boots, echoing throughout the locker room.

As I finally reach the key rack, its fallen from the wall and broken. Most of the keys have fallen off and have the tags ripped off or the writing has worn off.
Except for 1, number 45. I pick up this key and try and search for the locker. Found it. It was right near 33 so it wasn't to hard to find. I pushed in the key and opened the locker. Inside was a weapon, a ink tank, and a key. There was a box, but I'm not one to trifle with schrödinger's cat. The key was labeled 38. Great. I wander over to the next locker. I really hate this this place. Too many memories.

I open the locker and it's the same as the last locker, only a different weapon. I take they key and finally it says 33. I return to my locker and opened it. It's only a mask and a note that says "remember". I had hardly realized that I didn't have my mask on. I need to start paying attention more...

I held the note and studied it once more. The handwriting was... familiar. I sat down and thought about it for awhile, then gently drifted off to sleep.

7:58

My eyes flutter open, trying to make sense of my dream. I stretch my arms and yawn, getting up to get ready for the day, grabbing my mask, taking a shower and so on. After getting dressed, I pick up my phone and check the time and notifications.

10:38

You have (1) new message

Hello, James. I assume you're coming in for work today? If not, you have to anyways, sorry.

who is this

Sorry, I should have clarified. Its Agent 2.

figures
anyways
i'll be in soon

I turn off my phone and put it in my pocket. I walk over to the kitchen and search the cupboard, grabbing a thing of blot tarts from their box. I quickly finish my meal and head out. It's a good 15 minute train ride from here to the square so let's hope I can get there in a timely fashion.

Marie POV

I had just seen our new agents last text message when Callie came out of the cabin, yawning. "Why do we have to wake up so early again?" Callie stretched and groaned. I just put on a coy smile. "Not so much of an early bird are you now, huh?" I chuckled as she rolled her eyes. "Anyways, look alive, dear cousin. Our new member is coming here today, and first impressions are everything."

Callie quickly went from a slightly annoyed look to one of intrigue
"Ooooh, who is he?" Callie's eyes lit up as she sat down at her usual spot.
"Well, his name is James Edward Park. Most call him Ulysses, as that's what he asks people to call him. Not much is known about him." Callie rests her head on her hands. "Hmm... I like this guy. He seems interesting. He's got that mysterious background... is he a bit cold and distant too?" I laugh. "Yeah, he is a bit distant. He's definitely a puzzle, always wearing a mask and whatnot." I twirl my parasol.

Callie scooted closer to me. "Is he hot?" Callie looked over to me with a weird suggestive look on her face. A blush formed on my face as I look at her, annoyed. "That's very unprofessional of you. Besides, you know I'm not very interested in men." Callie sighed and rolled her eyes "Way to be a buzzkill. That tells me all I need anyways." Callie lays down on the step as I huffed and look away. "Yeah I guess he is. Happy?"
Callie smirked "Yes. When's he coming again?" I checked our texts again. "Didn't say. Just said he'd be here soon." Callie groaned and sat back up. "Lets hope he comes soon. Its getting boring talking to just having you to talk to." I huffed. "Well I'm sorry I'm not interesting enough for you princess." Just as the shouting match was about to begin, he finally appeared.
