WHISPERS || Anthony Lockwood

four

Lucy settled in quite nicely at the agency, she got along with them all well. Well maybe her and George butted heads a few times...ok most times, but still. She didn't tend to talk about her agency before Lockwood and Co but from what Addison has gathered from the little she could find in the newspapers, it has ended badly. Her family remained a mystery to them as well, but that's how it was for them all.

George hardly spoke about his family, all they knew is that they didn't want a son who had talents. Whole family of geniuses and engineers and then a son who can see the dead, doesn't really settle well. A lot of families were like that now though. The evolution to be able to have talents may have been quick but it was still a shock. A lot of people still believed agents were con artists but then again they couldn't see anything.

Lockwood's family was of course a touchy subject. The agents didn't really know much of what happened to them, all they knew was it was a terrible accident. They assumed the door that was locked belonged to a family member but Anthony was (for lack of better words) agressive over it.

And last but not least Addison. Of course her family practically sold her to Alastor, but there was always more to it. She was a bit like George in terms of family, they didn't want a 'freak' in their line. Of course her crying never made it easier to handle her. She supposed she jumpy as a child as well, couldn't make out her world from the real world. Her leaving of her home wasn't brilliant either. After her friends deaths, she spent a night back at 'home', no bedroom for her to sleep in, hardly even a sofa, but it didn't matter , she was leaving. And she did.

Blood family wasn't brought up at Lockwood and Co, they didn't care about that now. They had each other. They created their own little family, a little odd and dysfunctional, yes but it worked and they liked it.

"LOCKWOOD WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO" Lucy's voice echoed down the corridors. Oh yes, Addison forgot about that, the prank war. It'd been going on for about two weeks now. It's started with salt in Lockwood's tea, then glitter in Lucy's shampoo, George's glasses had been replaced for god knows what (he had refused to leave the room till they gave him his glasses back). The prank war was something that had started randomly. Why Lucy put salt in Lockwood's tea she will never know but it was a bit of fun. I mean seriously a group of "professional" agents, come on they were still kids.

Team wise, Lucy slotted in perfectly. She was like the missing piece of their puzzle. She just worked with them, picked up on things they struggled with, listening was a rather useful skill especially when the others listening was well for lack of better words awful.

"Oh Luce there you are, what exactly can I do for you?" The smug agent replied. He seemed to be completely unphased by the girls pure anger.

Her hair was blue.

Addison wasn't talking about a subtle blue. No it was bright electric blue, almost like her jacket but maybe 50 shades brighter. It was a sight to say the least.

"Lucyyy nice hair" ok pretty lame try at a compliment on Addison's part yes, but well but nothing, Lucy wasn't even phased.

"Nice hair Luce, really suits you" the culprit commented a smug grin on his face.

"Oh you... I am going to kill you lockwood!" Well she wouldn't be the first to try but by the look on her face, Addison figured Lucy would succeed.
