Nueva York- Earth 3030
The chatter of people and the noise of the coffee machine blurred from the 24-year-old woman as she stared aimlessly at her computer screen. Her gaze kept moving from her work to her phone every time she heard it make a buzz. Rolling her eyes, she turned it on silent and flipped it over, determined to focus on her work and not on some guy she barely knew.
You slumped back against your chair, gaze now, staring at the popcorn ceiling. No amount of coffee would make your mind focus on the tasks that had an impending deadline. Suddenly, a figure approached you and placed a coffee on the table.
"Here." Your gaze moved toward the woman standing in front of you.
"Aw, thanks, Michelle, that's sweet of you. The next drink is on me."
"Y/n, if we go out for drinks. I'm paying. How else can I impress my future sister-in-law." Michelle chuckled as she waited for you to gather your things. You then walked out of the cafe and onto the humid streets of Nueva York.
"Girl, you're my best friend. You don't have to impress me. Though I think you and my brother are a cute couple, I'll never understand what you see in him. He's such a dork. You better not remove your last name once you tie the knot." You grab your sunglasses and put them on. The summer sun of Nueva York was always brutal.
"I'll still be Officer Moreno. But L/N is such a nice name too! I'm still going to take it." Michelle smiles down at you. She was a tall woman. Almost 5 inches taller than you. You thought you were tall at 5' 8'." But her brother didn't mind since he was 6' 6." You both entered the main building of Alchemex, where your brother worked.
You made it to his office after passing through the front desk and the annoying security checks. Right before walking in, you both jump in fright from a small explosion in the room.
"Liam?!"
"Honey?!"
You rush inside the office to see the man in question laughing as he wipes away the black smoke from his goggles. You let out a long breath, relief that he was alright. Michelle rushed to her fiance's side.
"I'm fine. Just a little misstep in my experiment." Liam cupped her cheek, grazing his thumb softly against her skin to ease her worries. Michelle pinched his cheek hard before giving him a quick kiss on the lips.
"You had me and your sister worried. Be more careful next time!"
"I'll try my best. But being an Alchemex scientist means taking those risks! Breaking the barrier of our knowledge of the universe!"
"Dork." You rolled your eyes at your annoying brother, which earned a chuckle from Michelle.
"Hey! At least I'm contributing something to society. All you do is write." Liam whined as he began to clean up his mess.
"I'm a journalist! I work for the Nueva Times! I should report your ass and your stupid projects. But I'm nice." You scoffed, offended by his comment.
"If you say anything to the public, my job will be on the line!" Liam grew more upset than annoyed as Michelle got between the L/N siblings to stop bickering. You rolled her eyes.
"You know one thing you lack in the intellect department, Liam? It's Sarcasm." You stopped laughing, knowing you had pulled one of his triggers.
Thankfully Michelle was there to calm him down. Unbeknownst to anyone in the room, a small spider squeezed through a crack in the ceiling. Its gaze went in multiple directions, looking for its victim. It took less than a second for its gaze to lock down on you as it descended. The silver and light blue spider glistened against the ceiling lights, sparking like a diamond. It landed on your shoulder before it made its way to its destination.
