1st P.O.V - Agent Walker

-

I contemplated for a second, weighing the positive and negative outcomes of the situation.

I could gain useful intel, and maybe coax some sensitive information from them.

But- they could learn more about the Administration, which I can't have happening.

In the end, the negatives outweighed the positives.

I responded with a monotone,

"Offer declined, Trademarked, May 1st 2024, All Rights Reserved."

They just stared at me, and I burst out laughing.

As they continued staring at me, the situation only got funnier, and I kept laughing until I coughed a few times and stopped.

The green one was the first to speak up.

"So- was that a yes or no-"

"No."

I cut him off.

I tapped my chin for a second.

"Introductions would be good, though."

They sighed.

"Well, I'm Lloyd, That's Cole, the one next to him is Kai, The three kids are Wyldfyre, Arin, and Sora. That's Nya by the door, and Zane is the one you shocked."

I grinned.

Looks like I've found my assigned targets!

"Lovely meeting you guys. I'm Agent Walker. Now, do you guys have spare clothes and a shower? My skin feels grimy."

Lloyd smiled at me awkwardly.

"Uh- you can go with Nya- she'll get you clothes."

She waved me over, and I walked over to her, stumbling just a little.

As we walked down the hallway, she made a sharp turn and pointed towards the bathroom.

"That's the bathroom. There should be a closet with plenty of spares."

"M'kay."

I stepped into the room and closed + locked the door behind me.

I quickly saw the closet, and opened it.

She was right, there were WAY too many spare clothes.

I picked out a pair of dark blue sweatpants with a lightning bolt patch stuck to the front, and a white T-shirt.

Good enough.

When I was done showering and dressing, I went around and decided to explore this monastery.

What stopped me was a wall of photos.

There was a picture of me with Nya.

Her cheeks were just a bit tinged pink and I was laughing at something, probably her.

I looked a lot softer, and had shorter hair, and just a bit more tan.

When was this photo?

"Oh- that was just before The Merge."

Huh, I guess I said that aloud.

"Oh."

I turned to see the person next to me.

It was Cole, and he seemed a bit sad.

"How'd you even get this picture? Did you photoshop it? How was I with her if I was in the administration? I don't even know you people-"

"Slow down, man. You were her boyfriend. You just don't remember that. No, this isn't photoshopped. You lived here almost fifteen years fighting evil as a Ninja. Also, we used to be your family. There's a lot more behind this, but that's all you can process for now."

He was probably right.

My brain was already going at lightning speed trying to process what he'd just said.

"Right. Do you guys got any food? I haven't eaten for three days. 'Cause, ya know, with all the kidnapping? Adultnapping?"

His eyes widened.

"Oh! Right. Follow me, you can ask Zane what to eat."

"I guess toast should be fine."

The big guy suddenly stopped in his tracks, causing me to bump into him.

"Hey!"

He mumbled something under his breath, a voice so soft that If I hadn't been trained for this, I couldn't hear.

"You never ate toast plain. You always ate yours with butter or jelly."

I scoffed at him, causing him to snap out of it.

"For your information, I love plain toast, thanks very much. Also, make that whole wheat bread, will ya?"

-

This can't be Jay.

No jam or butter on his toast?!

And whole wheat bread??

He hates whole wheat bread!

Do we have the wrong person???
