Friend Of The Family

{{STORY ADD ON}}

I open the door, walking into the Handlers office and close the door behind me. Another person in the room and the Handler look up at me as I enter

"Ah! Luna, there you are, dear" the Handler says with a big grin on her face

"Don't call me that.." I mutter as I stuff my hands in my pockets

"I want to introduce you to your new partner, Number Five"

"What kinda names that?.." I ask in confusion

"It's just, Five.. Nice to meet you" He says with a small cocky smile on his face as he puts his hand out for a hand shake

I hesitate for a moment before shaking him hand "right..."

"Our friend here is extra special"

"What? Like in the head?" I say bluntly as I look over at the woman

She scoffs and shakes her head "no... he has abilities. I thought I should let you know since he's your new partner"

"Abilities?.." I pause as I look over at Five "what kinda abilities?"

"Spiral jumping. Teleportation" he replied with a nod

"Oh.. right.. so, why am I his partner? I don't do well with others"

"You're two of my best assassins, why not pair you together?" She says as she messes around with a few loos papers on her desk

"That was... a very vague explanation but okay..." I mumble

"If we're so good why pair us together? We can obviously do well on our own" Five states

"Yes, good point. I just think you two could get along well now go get to know each other" the Handler says as she shooed us away

We both sigh before walking out the room.

⏩⏩⏩

I look over at Five who sits down next to me on a bench.

"You're not much of a talker are you?"

I shook my head "no.. In my defence I've never had a partner before"

"Yeah? Well, neither have I" He replied "even though I've been here for a while"

"Really? How long..."

"Six-seven years. Give or take"

"Shit. Really? And you call that a while? I've been here for almost thirteen years" I replied shrugging

"Damn. Really? That's a long ass time.." Five says with a chuckle "well.. she wants us to get to know each other. How do you suppose we do that?"

"I don't know.. ask me questions I guess"

"Right, well, how old were you when you joined the commission?" He questioned as he crosses his arms

"I was.. sixteen"

"Wait- I thought they didn't recruit people so young. You have a personal connection or something?"

"Yeah.. the Handler" I replied back quietly

"Wha- the Handler? How?" He questioned

"She found me when I was fifteen.. put a roof over my head and toke care of me. A while later she asked if I wanted to join the company she worked for, saying my skills are just what they needed. Of course I agreed because I had nothing else going on whatsoever... I never knew right from wrong, I never went to school, never had friends. I didn't know if what I was doing was wrong or not" I replied looking down at my hands

"I get that.. I never went to school either, I was homeschooled by my mother" He explained

"Really? Have any family?" I asked, looking up from my hands and at Five

"Yeah, four brothers and two sisters" he replied with a small smile

"Wow, holy shit. that's a lot"

"Yeah, well, we were all adopted.. non of us were actually related but I suppose it felt like we were.."

I smile and nod my head "it sounds nice"

Five went on to tell me all about the types of missions they would do and the games they all played as kids, how much fun they had together, the abilities his siblings had, ect. He seemed happy talking about it so I didn't stop him or anything, it was nice to talk to someone other then the Handler for once.
