「Stars and Gunpowder」 | Harry Hart x Character OC Book 1

Chapter 5 : Make him Proud

    "What happened out there" Elena asks as she looks at Harry's unconscious figure "We don't know, there was a big explosion and a fire" Arthur says looking at Elena "His MRI shows no signs of concussions, no brain damage either" Merlin takes a step closer to Elena "When will he wake up?" Elena asks again, clearly worried for her friend "We don't know, I'm sorry, we have no idea as to what he was exposed to in there" The door opens showing Harry's candidate as Elena knows as Eggsy "Will he be alright?" "Be patient Eggsy" Merlin faces Eggsy "He's right, we need to be patient, focus on your training, make it through the test and make him proud" Elena says giving Eggsy a pat on the back.

    A month passes and Eggsy is passing through the tests with flying colors, including Roxy. Elena spent the month going to interviews and promoting the movie she starred in and occasionally visiting Harry.

    After the fourth week of movie promoting has ended Elena gets a message from Merlin

"Agent Galahad has awoken, he asked you to come visit him"

    She rolls her eyes and starts typing "Can't he just message me? He has my number" She sees a small text bubble showing that Merlin was typing "Cut him some slack, he is still in bedrest"

"Fine"

    She arrives in the HQ heading immediately to Med bay and knocking on Harry's door "Come in" She hears from the other side of the door "Merlin told me you were still in bedrest and yet here you are getting dolled up" Elena jokes as she looks at Harry putting on moisturizer after shaving "I can't look like a homeless man forever" "Well, the hair is kinda a bit much considering how long it has grown" He laughs "How about you, I heard that you were promoting a movie" He looks at a monitor that showed the top six candidates left "Yes actually, we filmed for like, a whole six to seven months" She looks at the monitor as well smiling at the sight of Roxy being the top of the list "Eggsy focused on his training to make you proud" She mentions and he nods "I can see that" The door bursts open revealing Eggsy "Have you ever heard of knocking?" Harry asks him

    "Only when I'm casing a place to rob" Elena laughs at Eggsy's joke but was given a stern stare by Harry "What? The boy's got humour" She tries to defend herself as he sighs "Merlin said you wanted to see me?" Eggsy asks as his dog J.B. starts to bark "I hope J.B.'s training is going well as yours is" Harry says "J.B. sit" Eggsy commands and J.B. sits in response "Congrats on making it to the final six Eggsy" Elena smiles at him "Your Father would be very proud" Harry continues "Your test results were even better than I could've hoped" Elena gives Eggsy a thumbs up behind Harry's back and Eggsy smiles proudly.

    A knock on the door was heard throughout the room and Harry points to the door for Eggsy as an example of what he should've done "Come in" Merlin opens the door and comes in with his tablet "Oh, Eggsy and Agent Odette, I need to have a private conversation with Agent Galahad, you are excused" "Nonsense let him observe, might learn a thing or two, and Agent Odette should stay to as she is great company"

"As you wish"
