Narrator's POV

During the early morning, Marshal entered a dark room full of shelves. The operator waited for something, until a hologram appeared in front of him.

"My stay's going to be longer than expected. If you have a party waiting for me, postpone it."

The hologram, with shorter and slick hair was dressed in a black suit, wearing shades.

He smiled.

"If that's the case, I'll have a very select team of Operatives deploy to your location."

Marshal lowered his eyebrows and opened his mouth.

"Yes, the Operatives will meet your requirements. We know you, Marshal."

Marshal's eyebrows returned to normal and smiled.

"Tell them to take their time deploying to Copper 9. It's not like I need any reinforcements as soon as possible anyway."

The hologram nodded and disappeared.

Marshal could somehow find his way out of the pitch-black room.

Once he exited the room, he walked to his and N's room. He found him still asleep, facing Marshal's side of the bed.

Marshal sat beside him, placing his head on N's head, gently stroking his hair.

He smiled.

"You entering my life is frankly the best thing I've experienced."

As Marshal slowly moved his hand away from N's hair, he lied down, facing him.

He closed his eyes for a couple of seconds, trying to sleep.

Meanwhile, he felt the bed moving.

He ignored it, thinking it was just the drone moving while asleep.

He pondered about it, until curiosity got to the best of him and opened his eyes and saw N sitting down, smiling at him.

"H-have you been waiting for me to lie down?"

N nodded.

"I spoke to one of the teachers in Uzi's school and he asked if we could supervise her and her class at Camp 98.7."

Marshal sat up.

"Okay.. Tell him we'll think about it. I'm pretty sure it's-"

"Actually uhm.. I kind of.."

Marshal dropped his eyebrows slightly.

"You accepted it, didn't you?"

N scratched the back of his head, looking beside him in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry! I was just so excited when I heard the word 'camp'!"

Marshal held his hand.

"Don't be, as long as you're happy, then I'm happy."

Marshal smiled with his mouth closed while N grinned. He clasped Marshal.

He let go of the human and Marshal kissed his forehead.

"I'm guessing it's tomorrow?"

N nodded.

"Right."

Marshal stood up.

"What time is it?" He asked as he geared up.

"8:29AM." N said as he stood up too.

"I'll be off to watch Uzi, cloaked, ike a father figure. I'll see you later."
