After countless monotonous strides, he finds himself adrift in the urban sprawl. Yet, he bravely strides forward, seeking a beacon of hope amidst the drab routine. With wings of possibility, he soars beyond boundaries, forging his unique path. With a defiant spirit and unwavering determination, he vows to keep pushing forward until he reaches the ultimate destination, never to be defeated again.
Emerging from his slumber, he finds himself in a room that screams teenage vibes, complete with a computer that seems to have pulled an all-nighter. Today is no ordinary day - it's jam-packed with a mission alongside Penguin Logistics and a dreaded meeting with the leader of Lungmen. These tasks may not be his cup of tea, but they're on the agenda and must be tackled head-on..
He descends from the upper level, stretching and stifling a yawn, only to spot a hatless Skadi lounging at a table in the rear, leisurely sipping a drink and relishing a slice of pizza, while Orca rummages through the fridge by the snack-filled mini bar.
"Hi you two, did you sleep well?"
"It's okay, the bed was comfortable," Skadi replied.
"Yes, I slept well," Orca exclaimed, rummaging through the fridge with determination, as if she had finally struck gold.
"Okay nice," he casually strolls by Orca, snags a beverage and a croissant, then plops down in front of Skadi, who's giving him the eye.
"Sure thing, I'll give you information about your job" Skadi look at him casually, taking a sip of her drink. With her poker face in place, she nods in agreement, ready to hear him out.
"As a Redwatch member, you have the freedom to stay for as long as you wish and can depart whenever you decide."
"Am I free to leave at any time?" she inquired.
"Yes, I value your freedom and I have no intention of restricting you with a harmful agreement."
"Understood. I'll stay as long as I please." Skadi replied.
"Rest assured, I will not cut corners when it comes to your pay. I'd rather not end up as a human projectile against a skyscraper again," he assured with a chuckle.
She gives him a nod of approval, and Orca eagerly pulls up a chair to join in on the conversation.
"You know a lot of complicated things," exclaims Orca, picking up her first spoonful of ice cream. Orca is just a young girl, and concepts like contracts go way over her head. Kelvin attempted to break it down for her once, but she dozed off faster than a sloth on a sunny day.
"Right, I am a man of culture as well," With a grin of satisfaction, he declared, shutting his eyes in contentment.
"I am not a person who works in a team," said Skadi in a monotone voice.
"I know, but I think you will appreciate fighting alongside Orca even if you are against this kind of thing, at least once just to discover."
"Mmhh..." She appears to be on the fence about the notion of observing Orca briefly battling by her side. It's not exactly her cup of tea, but she's not completely opposed to it either. The concept seems to be more fluid with Orca in the mix, as she is undoubtedly intrigued by the young girl.
