Tom quickly regretted going when the doctor walked in.
Tom instantly recognized the doctor and the name tag that has haunted him his whole life
"Dr. Ridgwell '' is the name plated on his tag as Tom went pale as his eyes didn't leave they gray haired man.

— Back story —-

Back when tom was first born there was a war going on in his town with the army called enemy base and the black nights.
The enemy base saw they were losing so they began storing into houses, stealing kids and killing off parents.
Tom was one of those kids and they made sure to burn all of their original birth certificates.
Tom's real name would have been Thomas Smith if he wasn't taken away.
But they had to cover up the fact that Tom was a lab rat so they made new birth certificates for them and one soldier remembered his original name from a photo and they just gave Tom the name of the top doctor.
Dr. Ridgwell.
So Tom's new name was Thomas Ridgwell.
When tom got older and smarter tom ran away and sued them causing the enemy base to lose a lot of money so they lost a lot of land.
And tord bought that land and just killed their leader and took over renaming it the red army.
Meaning all the workers from before if not killed by tord were still there.
Up till now Tom couldn't understand how he already knew his way around so well and why it had a draining feeling till he saw the doctor enter the room.
Dr. Ridegwell got arrested after Tom sued but it must have only been for a few years if he was here now.

– end of back story –

Tom snapped back when tord grabbed his arm pulling tom to look at him.
"Something wrong? U look pale." tord whispered.
Tom only nodded and looked back at the doctor not daring to look away.

As the meeting went on, Tom remained quiet the whole time, eyes staying on  Dr. Ridgwell.
Soon he noticed and Tom watched as Dr. Ridgwell raised his hand and tord looked over nodding for him to speak.
"What is it Ridgwell..?" Tord said grumply just wanting the meeting to be over.

"A few things. Who is the person next to you.? They're new and what's their name?" dr. Ridgwell said, staring at tom.
"Oh he's the leader of the level three office and since he directs to me and helps me in my office he deserves to be here to work out my paperwork and his name is-'' Tord paused as tord felt a yank at his arm.
Tord looked over at Tom to see Tom shaking his head no a little.
Tord instantly froze with confusion as to why Tom's face was filled with fear.
Tord did understand a little of what Tom meant, he understood he didn't want him saying his name but he didnt know why.
He would ask later.
"Actually he doesn't feel comfortable sharing his name. You can ask on your own time till he will tell you. He's very shy and doesn't like his name being shared till he gains trust."
Dr. Ridgwell didn't seem pleased with that answer as tom looked down at his lap holding tords sleeve of his blue overcoat under the table and tord looked back up at the other people at the table and continued

Tord didn't corect Tom on it because he knew something was wrong so he kept his mouth shut about it.

After the meeting ended tord took tom back to his office and sat tom down across the table as tord sat in his office chair.
Tord pulled out the big classified paper work from the office and began going over it with the help of tom.
But tord could tell Tom was distracted and stopped looking up.

"Care to explain what that was about tom? " tord said, sounding a tad bit concerned.
"I just don't feel like sharing my name to people I don't trust or even know yet sir.." tom said, looking to the side a little, lying through his teeth.
Tom knew that Dr. Ridgwell would have recognized the name because he knew Tom's real last name and he knew all of Tom's abilities so he would know Tom could shift his facial features.

Tord didn't seem to notice it was a lie and nodded.
"I didnt realize how shy you really were.." tord said, taking the papers back out.
"Ya.. I don't ever really show the real me because well..I'm very kiddush and stuff so I hide behind a macho, not scared of anything face when really I'm a chicken shit and very girly."
Tom said blushing and fiddling his thumbs looking to the side.
Tord grinned and rested his hands on his cheeks.
"Oh~? Is that soo?? Well you don't have to hide that side from me tommy~" tord said very pervy.
Tom chuckled, " ya right." ^ last time i tried that you laughed at me...^
"I'm serious. With my last friend I made fun of him and never got to saying sorry so I'm trying to learn from my mistakes. Let me guess your gay?" tord said, raising a brow.
Tom frowned and nodded a little a little shocked with his words before.
"No need to be shy about it im bi and two of my old friends were bi and i believe the last one was gay but said nothing since i made fun of him." tord said, sounding guilty.

"O-okay." Tom said blushing slightly.
"If you want I can get you a different uniform. Since that one is very..well...manly. "
"That would be great, this is way too baggy and hot. I only like baggy hoodies so this outfit is very uncomfortable." Tom said with a smile and a slight groan.

Tord chuckled and began to laugh a little. "So you got a thing for hoodies to hmm??" Tom chuckled and nodded.
"Don't worry it's the same here. I'd let you wear one but that would look bad to other armies. So how does a suit sound??"
"That sounds way better, thanks." Tom said, smiling with a light blush.
"Ya no problem but that means you're my assistant and I'll be moved to a bigger office and then have both offices moved together." tord said grinning.
"Uh- well i-i don't know"
"Aw come on your smart enough and your a buddy now and you're practically in here 24/7 helping me so might as well"
Tom sighed and smiled softly "fine fine"
"Great! I'll call the set up group and get them started moving stuff right away and for someone to bring down your new clothes" tord said grabbing his radio.
Before Tom could say anything, the tord was already on the radio.
Tom groaned and rubbed his forehead as moments later a group of soldiers came in handing tom a pile of folded clothes.
Tord got up from his seat and smiled at Tom walking out the door as Tom quickly followed.
"U-uhm now what?" torm said, a little confused.

"Well u gotta go change."tord said shrugging
"Uhm how?" Tom said supper confused.
"Well go to the men's locker room while i head down to the creators to get u a new badge and ill be right back." tord said pointing to the men's locker room.

Tom sighed and nodded as he pushed open the door to the men's locker room and looked back seeing tord long gone.

Tom stepped into the room and checked everywhere to make sure he was alone.
Tom wasn't ashamed of his body, he was just making sure he was alone.

Tom slipped off his shoes and then the long overcoat soon followed with the belt buckle for his gun.

Tom then picked up the outfit seeing a blue button up, a sleeveless overcoat and black jeans ish and a black pair of boots.
Tom then slipped off his jeans and slipped on the new pants and then slipped off his shirt and slipped on the blue over coat but quickly froze as the door opened and tord stepped in through the doorway.
