"Will I d-do that again?" She asked quietly as he grabbed a new wipe.
"Yes." He nodded, wiping down her forehead.
"A lot?" She questioned, swallowing thickly.
"Yes." He repeated. "What are you thinking?"
"W-whether to do it or not." She sniffle...

"Are you sure it's a good idea? Her parents are English." An agent asked standing in front of Madam B. "I mean, you're trying to send her on a mission where she was born."
"Positive. They have moved to the bottom of the country. There will be no issue. It would not matter either way as we have eyes all over the country." Madam B responded firmly. "Tell her to pack, now."
Winter and Nova were sat together in the library, the soldier teaching her sign language for missions. She'd gotten the hang of it quite easily, so this was just to make sure she had everything under control. The door to the library slammed open and the pair looked to the agent who approached them.
"You need to pack your things and make your way to Madam B's office." The agent told Nova and her eyebrows furrowed.
"Why?" She signed and the agent turned to Winter.
"Why?" He asked.
"You have a mission." He replied and her eyes widened. "Everything will be explained, go and pack."
With a quick nod, she left the library and went to her dorm and started to pack up all of her actual clothes which was mainly just leggings, skirts and dresses and not many of those that were different. As she shoved her shoes into her bag, the door flicked open and Jenny walked in, giving her a smile. Nova gave her a small wave, returning the small grin.
"How long you gonna be away for?" Jenny questioned, moving to sit on Nova'a bed and the taller girl shrugged. "What's the mission?" Another shrug. "You know nothing?" Nova shook her head. "I'm gonna miss you."
"Miss you, too." Nova signed before sighing, thinking Jenny couldn't understand.
"Softie." Jenny signed with a smirk and Nova's smile widened.
"Since when did you learn this?" Nova quizzed.
"For you." Jenny replied with a bashful smile.
"Now who's the softie?" Nova smirked and Jenny slapped her shoulder playfully.
"When do you go?" Jenny asked, without her hands this time.
"Now, I guess. Once I'm done packing." Nova answered.
"Bring me back a present." Jenny giggled and Nova shook her head playfully with a grin.
"I'll bring you a pinecone." Nova responded.
"I should make a collection for each mission." Jenny smiled.
"Who says I'll give you more than one? Excuse me, the pinecones will run out. Think of their parents. Kidnapping pinecones, what kind of person do you think I am?" Nova signed rapidly and Jenny laughed at her.
"One that will bring me pinecones." Jenny beamed and Nova nodded her head slightly in agreement.
"I'll get you a pinecone, Jen." Nova smiled at the small cheer Jenny let out.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Jenny chanted, leaning up to plant a kiss on Nova'a cheek randomly and the pair smiled sheepishly at one another, heat rising in their faces. "Do you trust me?"
"Yes." Nova signed. "Why? What are you going to do?"
"This." Jenny mumbled, quickly pecking her on the lips and Nova froze in shock. "D-did I get the wrong idea?"
"No, no." Nova denied quickly. "Just shocked, is all."
"Okay, good." Jenny breathed in relief as Nova zipped up her bag. "I'll see you when you get back, then."
"Yeah, bye." Nova nodded, going to leave but she turned back quickly and hugged Jenny tightly, the shorter girl returning it with equal force.
"Nova." Winter said, snapping open the door and the two girls separated. "Come on."
Nodding, Nova followed him out, giving a final small smile to Jenny who shot one back at her before she was grabbing her ballet shoes. Once she was in Madam B's office, her bag was pulled from her and a book was slipped into it, confusing her.
"The man taking care of you has just arrived. We have no time to discuss your mission, everything you need to know is in that book." Madam B explained and Nova gave a quick nod.
"Is this the right one?" They heard a male English voice outside. "No? Okay, moody. Oh! It is! Dreadfully sorry."
The door pushed open and a man with brown hair and deep brown eyes walked in dressed in brown trousers and a black polo neck jumper on with a large black coat covering him. He gave an exaggerated shiver, smiling at everyone in the room and Madam B put on a friendly smile, Winter doing the same and Nova stared up at him with wide eyes.
"Awfully cold out there." He smiled warmly before turning to Nova. "Hello! I'm George, Michaels. Not to be confused with George Michael, obviously I'm not him. Anyway, I'm guessing you're Nova?" She nodded in reply. "Thank God. Thought I had the wrong place for a minute. It looks a little odd."
"We need you to sign some forms." Madam B told him, putting on a false English accent. "And also give you some information about the child."
"Yes, yes." George mumbled, patting his coat down. "I thought I had a pen. Sorry."
"No bother." Madam B replied, handing him one and he thanked her quietly. "These are just to say that the child will be under your care and your responsibility from now on. Obviously, there is more to read."
"Yeah. Not many pages, though." George nodded, signing his name at the bottom of the sheets. "I suppose it's all here to make it quicker."
"Exactly, yes." Madam B nodded.
"Good good." George smiled, standing back up properly and handing her back the pen which she placed down.
"Now, some final things. Nova was bought into our care because she was involved in a car accident." Madam B lied. "Because of this accident, she had an injury causing her throat to be damaged which includes her voice box. So, unfortunately she cannot speak but her voice will be back in a year."
"That's awful, I am so sorry." George apologised and Nova waved him off. "Do you know sign language?" She nodded. "Brilliant. Me and my wife do because she's a doctor and I'm a teacher. We work with deaf people and children sometimes. How much do you know?"
"All of it." Nova signed.
"Fabulous. So, does anything else need to be sorted? I mean, all was done over call, wasn't it minus this." George chuckled.
"Yes, all done. You can go home, now." Madam B nodded and Nova glanced in confusion to see Winter gone but he was quickly back and the girl saw Lily from the other side, giving her a wave which she returned.
"Here." Winter muttered, handing her Peach which she took with a grateful nod. "Uh, Lily bought it over."
"Thanks." Nova signed, wincing at the glare Winter was reviving from Madam B.
"Well, Nova," George started with a soft grin, "ready to go home?"
