It's been a few weeks. I think my abilities are really improving, the boss even said so. Today I have a meeting with him and that's where I'm heading to. The hallways are full with Kingdom workers, it's so different from Valorant's HQ. Still no word from Chamber, maybe he didn't really care, maybe it was all a show to get me to stay. At least Viper was nice about letting me go. Even when she was annoyed with me, she was still pretty. I can see why most of the agents like her.
After walking down the long hallway, I'm at the door of his office. I open the door and see him sitting in his office chair.
"You asked to see me, sir?"
"Ah, yes, Zara. Take a seat." I pull out a chair and sit down with my hands in my lap.
"I know you must miss your friends, a lot. I hope things are going well for you here? Anyway, it's a pleasure having you here. Your father would be proud."
"Thank you, sir."
"Please, call me Oscar. You are one of my best workers, and I know your birthday is coming up soon. The big..20? Am I correct?"
"Yes."
"I asked you to come here because I wanted to propose and idea. I wanted to run it by you."
"Im listening."
"How would you like going on a mission? As you know, you're the only radiant on our team. Your powers are getting stronger by the day. You're going to sneak into one of our competitors laboratories, steal their formulas, come back, we celebrate afterwards. The problem is that they are one of Valorants' sponsors. They are going to have a meeting on that day, so he'll be distracted. How does it sound?"
"Great. Just give me time to disguise myself and finish my other plan, okay?" He nods his head and I leave.
I stare at my reflection in the mirror. Who am I? I've become something I never wanted to be. What happened to mommy's little girl? I don't even look like the same person anymore. My mom would say I looked like my dad but with light brown hair, he had black. Maybe its time I start to meet those expectations?
I grab one of my many boxes of hair dye. I untie my hair and drench my hair with it the hair dye. I wait for it to set in and wash it out afterwards. I look good with black hair. I want to get this mission over with, maybe if I finish my project I'll be able to do it faster. I walk on over to the lab to see Rosa, still working hard as always.
"Loving the new hair, Zara. What are you up to this late at night?"
"Oh, nothing. I plan on finishing my project tonight, I have a mission in the next few days."
"Should I get the syringe ready ?"
"If you don't mind, thank you." I take a seat next to her and pull up my sleeve. The needle is full of radianite. She gives me a small countdown before injecting it into my veins. At first, I feel nothing. A few minutes later, I start coughing. I can feel small waves of pain being sent all around my body. My breathing gets heavier by the second.
"Zara? Don't worry, stay put. I'll go get the medical team." Rosa runs in panic while I sit with my arms wrapped around my stomach. I manage to control my breathing, the humidity of the room isn't helping. I look at my hand to see the mark glowing. The little hand on the clock is moving, what could it mean? After a few minutes, it finally stops. Rosa came with no luck in finding the medical team, they had already left.
"Zara, are you alright?"
"I feel..great?"
"Maybe you should go and rest. Take a break. Good night." We said our goodbyes and I head back to my dorm. I find myself looking at my reflection again. My hair has a streak of blue in it. Is this what happens when you're almost at your full potential? You get cool colored hair like Reyna and Yoru? I don't know, but I look awesome.
[Chamber/Vincente]
I lay awake at night. I miss her and everything about her. Without her my life has been so.. dull? Brimstone and Viper told me I was being assigned to a very important mission. I'm guarding a laboratory while the leaders have a meeting. It's different from the others. They only assigned me to it because I'm classy, have great aim, can dress well, and because it's one of their sponsors. I haven't heard from double in a while. I told him to report anything that's happening in exchange for protection. Maybe he knows where Zara is? All this thinking made me fall asleep within minutes.
