You drove Nomi out to the boundary where Bond's house was and got out of the car.

"You're not coming with me." Nomi reminded you.

"I want to stretch my legs." You said. "And it'll be easier to shoot bad guys."

"You brought a gun?" Nomi said questionably.

"And you didn't?" Nomi rolled her eyes and headed off towards Bond's house. "Don't take too long!" You called after her.

"I won't!" She called back. She vanished into the trees and you looked around, hand near your gun. A cold wind blew through the trees and rustled the leaves. You shivered. You listened for anything but all you heard was the water and birds. The wind died out and the sun beat down on you. It had been at least 16 minutes since Nomi went to Bond's house and you were getting worried. Just as you decided to check on them, Nomi and Bond appeared from the trees. Bond looked surprised when he saw you.

"y/n?" He said. "You're an MI6 agent?"

"Hello James." You said. "How are you?"

"Good." James got into the passenger seat.

"Not gonna take the driver's seat?" You asked, sliding into the driver's seat.

"You're a much safer driver than I am." James said.

"I'm not so sure about that." You started the car.

"Agreed." Nomi said from the back seat.

"Are we going back to MI6?" James asked.

"Of course." Nomi said. "Where else would we go?"

-------------------------------------------------------

You pulled up outside MI6 and got out of the car. Nomi followed but James stayed in the car.

"Come on, James!" Nomi said. "Hurry up!" James got out of the car and followed you into the building.

"M wants to talk to Bond immediately." Q told you, without looking at James.

"It's good to see you to Q!" James said. He walked into M's office and closed the door.

"How easy was it?" Q asked Nomi.

"A little hard, but it was easy to get him to the car." Nomi said.

"It took you 16 minutes." You said.

"You were keeping track of the time?" Nomi said.

"I always do that." You said. "In case I zone out, I need to know how long someone was out. They may have been captured minutes ago. I would never know."

"Good point." Q said, returning to his ipad. You looked at Nomi. She rolled her eyes.

"Nomi," Moneypenny said. "M wants to talk to you." Nomi nodded and went inside the office just as Bond left. He walked over to you.

"You never told me your last name." He said. You smiled. "I told you mine."

"You didn't need to." You said. "You can't just go around telling people your last name. They could judge you by your last name. As my father used to say 'Do not judge by appearance. Looks can fool you.'."

"It's true." James said. "You can't judge people by what they look like, or their last names. I promise I won't judge you."

"You will." You said. "Once you find out what my last name means. And who my father is."

"Please, tell me." James pushed. You closed your eyes and tears bubbled up and clung onto your eyelashes. "Bad memories?"

"No." You said, desperately trying not to cry. "He left when I was 11. I don't know why or where he is. I looked everywhere he could be, but he wasn't there. The last time I saw him was him climbing into a helicopter. He looked back at me and smiled." You paused. "He told me he'd come home." You wiped your eyes and saw Nomi exiting M's office. "What did he say?" You asked.

"A secret MI6 base was just attacked." Nomi said. "It was Specter. They stole something very deadly. They also took a scientist. M told me to retrieve the scientist." Nomi looked at both of you. "Alone." She walked away.

"What, you don't want us to wish you luck?" You called after her. 

"I'm fine on luck!" Nomi disappeared.

"Do you want to follow her?" James asked. You smirked.

"Yes."
