Green Valor

Invited univited

In that moment, as Jack looked down at the chaotic cityscape below, he knew that his mission was far from over.
The fight against terrorism would continue, fueled not only by duty but also by a deep personal resolve to bring justice to those who had caused such pain and suffering.
The people in the helicopter were familiar faces to Jack, he saw Alec,Yuri unharmed and the pilot was Quinn. Jack felt overjoyed that his friends had came to rescue him but had to reflect on what just happened.
"Where did you get a helicopter?" Jack called out to Quinn "stole it...Wolf and his junkies blew up the train station before leaving everything behind once Cordero soldiers fought back." He responded.
Jack slumped against the chair in the aircraft to catch his breath, he pictured the destruction that lay beneath him.
Jack had a heavy heart as he processed where his father had been all along. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks - his father, the man he had believed to have gone missing, had been hiding in plain sight.
But there was more to it than that. Jack had suspicions that his father had connections with Dr. Wormsly, a mysterious figure who seemed to always lurk in the shadows.
And then there was the shocking revelation that shook Jack to his core. The figure he had always believed to be a terrorist, the one responsible for his mother's untimely death during the war, was none other than his own father. It was a twist of fate that Jack could hardly wrap his mind around.
But something was different about his father now. His once vibrant green eyes had turned pale and red, and his skin had taken on a sickly greenish hue. It was as if a sickness had taken hold of him,
the ride was silent except for the sound of Yuri helping Alec open a bag of chips then occasional crunching. Lost in thought Jack hadn't realised Alec had offered him a chip and brought it up to his face "here" he says.
Jack took the chip and removed his mask to eat it then Yuri pointed out the mask that Jack had kept so he brought it out to show everyone. "It's the terrorist leader Wolfs mask, I figured his body wouldn't last in that building so this mask is the only proof I have of him dead."
The helicopter was jubilant with emotions and rejoiced over the notorious terrorist leader hired by general Archer was finally dead however Jack exuded no emotion and was somber almost as if he was mourning. He finally got revenge on his families killer but he still felt empty.
The helicopter hovered over a church building and community houses where the nuns could complete their task, Jack could make out a figure in the window attending to plants, specifically a daisy.
A beautiful young nun with a solemn look on her face, Jacks face lit up "go lower!" He calls to Quinn, he wanted to catch a glimpse of her.
Overwhelmed by a mix of excitement and nervousness, Jack leaned in towards the edge of the helicopter, hoping to strike up a conversation in meeting up with her later But fate had other plans. In a moment of unfortunate clumsiness, his foot slipped, causing him to lose balance and stumble forward.

Saskia had recently moved into a new community and was eager to inspect the church. As she stepped into the building, a sense of disappointment washed over her.
The church was nothing like the grand and ornate place she had known in her previous community. The walls were bare, the pews were worn, and the overall appearance was shabby.
After being reevaluated by the police Saskia had found shelter in the local church, the rest of the nuns were old hags that had jobs in schools or soup kitchens and made Saskia clean up while they were gone. For once Saskia felt loneliness.
Saskia whispers to herself "This church is in need of some love and care. But I suppose it's my duty to bring life back into this sacred space."
She picked up a mop and began mopping the dusty floor, trying to focus on her task. However, she couldn't help but notice the gaze of the old nuns who were watching her every move.
Saskia felt intimidated by their stares, knowing that they were aware of her past and how she had been saved by Jack, a boy who had been a significant part of her life.
'Why are they all staring at me? Do they know about Jack? I suppose it's hard to keep secrets in such a close-knit community.'
The old nuns, unable to contain their curiosity, start gossiping in front of Saskia about her attractiveness towards Jack. "Have you seen how young and pretty Saskia is? It's no wonder Jack saved her."
The oldest nun raises her eyebrow and reply's "Yes, she's quite a catch. I wonder if there's something going on between them." The third nun adds "Hmph! It's not appropriate for a young nun to be attracting such attention.She should focus on her duties."
Saskia overheard their conversation and could feel her cheeks burning with embarrassment. She was frustrated by the assumptions being made about her relationship with Jack based solely on her appearance.
Saskia whispers to herself and says "They have no idea. Jack saved me, yes, but our relationship is purely platonic. It's unfair to judge me based on rumors and gossip."
Dr. Wormsly had gifted her a daisy for her to feel settled, as she now tended to the plant she thought of her old life with her sheep's and the orphanage she was raised in, always a solitary life then she remembered Jacks handsome face, the face that gave her hope and company and how for once she felt protected.
A lady bug started to crawl on her and she smiled "hello little lady bug" she says then it hit her the realisation 'what if Jack finds another women, what if he already has one'. She erased the thought of ever being jealous of someone, but she felt like a different person. Jack was far more different than her and they could never be together.
She Looks at her reflection in a puddle of mopped water through her lifeless amber eyes "Jack..." she whispers to herself.
With a loud crash, Jack crashed through the church buildings roof, his heart pounding in his chest. As he regained his senses, he found himself sprawled on the freshly mopped floor, surrounded by shards of broken glass and twisted metal.
And then, his gaze fell upon her - his crush. She stood there, a combination of surprise and concern etched across her face and the shocked nuns. Time seemed to freeze as their eyes locked, a silent understanding passing between them.
In that unexpected moment, Jacks heart swelled with a mixture of embarrassment and vulnerability. But as he met Sister Saskias gaze, he saw a spark of something more - a spark that mirrored his own longing and desire.
"Saskia!♡" Jack called, With a gentle smile and a helping hand, Saskia approached him, breaking the silence. She patted Jack removing the dust, finding solace in their unexpected connection amidst the disorder of their surroundings. 
As they stood there, surrounded by the remnants of the roof, Jack adjusted his goggles. In the midst of the shattered roof and twisted metal, he found not only his lady, but also a newfound determination to protect and cherish the fragile beauty that life had to offer.
"You broke the roof! Get out you hooligan!" The oldest nun yells in an attempt to shoo Jack.
Jack could hear his team from above groan from his clumsiness, they dropped a rope ladder and waited for him. Jack gathered his senses and hitched on to the ladder, Saskia face lit up "Jack wait...there is something I want to tell you."
Jack looked back at her and cups her hands "I have to go Saskia, I'll pay for the damages...later!" He scrambles for his wallet while bills and quarters fall out. He hands her a wad of cash and begins to climbs up to the helicopter ladder,he wanted a more formal and longer greeting but the team had to report back to headquarters soon.
As the helicopter left, Saskia shot a glance at the angry nuns then one of them says "he's rich."
After the soldiers returned to headquarters, by landing on the building's roof and making it down the stairs. Jack spotted Dr.Wormslys messenger bag in a chair and grabbed it then they were greeted by a surprising sight - the President of their nation. Avis Cordero had heard of their heroic efforts and had come to personally commend them for their bravery.
As the team stood before the President, a flicker of doubt crossed Jacks mind. He had noticed something peculiar earlier - Dr.Wormslys missing items that were vital to their mission. His instincts told him that something was amiss.
"Ah you found Wormslys bag, I'll take it from here" He says to Jack extending his hand.With a sense of duty, his team had discreetly retrieved the missing items from his bag. As he glanced at the President, he couldn't shake the growing feeling of distrust and held the bag tighter.
He knew he needed to deliver the items directly to the Dr. Wormsly, ensuring their safety and integrity "I'll-I'll take it." Jack stammers.Quinn caught a glance of Cordero giving Jack a nasty side eye and he himself began to feel distrust.
Excusing himself from the President's presence, the team made their way to the scientist's laboratory. Jacks heart raced with a mix of uncertainty and determination. He knew that the secrets contained within those missing items held immense importance for their mission and the safety of their nation.
Upon reaching the scientist's office door, Jack took a deep breath, gathering his resolve. He knocked softly, and the door swung open to reveal the scientist Dr. Wormsly, surprised yet grateful to see the team standing there. "Good morning!" Dr.Wormsly exclaims.
Quinn knew it was private matter and told Jack that they were gonna leave and check up on other matters and to regroup later.
Understanding the urgency of the situation, Jack handed the missing items to Wormy, explaining his concerns about the President's possible involvement. Dr.Wormsly half sober eyes widened, realizing the gravity of the situation.
Dr.Wormsly closed the door behind Jack and he scanned his new office,papers were strewn across the desk and floor, half-empty coffee cups sat precariously on stacks of journals, and various gadgets and tools were scattered haphazardly around the room.
The shelves overflowed with books and binders, some teetering on the edge of collapse.Dr.Wormsly had just moved in and it was already a mess. He turns on a radio and goes back to his desk folding origami as if Jack wasn't there.
After what seemed like an awkward long minute, Dr.Wormsly picks up his finished crane origami and looks over at Jack grateful for his vigilance, Dr. Wormsly, expressed his sincere appreciation for Jack's unwavering dedication. "Jack, I cannot thank you enough for your quick thinking and decisive actions," he said, extending his hand but not getting up from his seat,he shakes Jack's hand firmly. "Your alertness and vigilance averted what could have been a disastrous outcome. You have preserved the integrity of our mission."
Jack smiled modestly and gives a slight bow. "Thank you, Dr.Wormsly. I'm just doing my job. It's an honor to be part of this team."
Dr. Wormsly provided updates about the progress made in dismantling the terrorist organization and the capture of its leader. "We have made significant strides in our war effort," Dr. Wormsly explained. "Thanks to our collective efforts, we have disrupted their operations and gained valuable intelligence."
Jack nodded, absorbing the information.
"That's great news, Dr. Wormsly. It's good to see our hard work paying off."
As Jack handed over the missing bag to Wormsly, they both took a moment to collect their thoughts. Dr.Wormslys eyes sparkled with a mix of relief and curiosity as he examined the recovered items.
"I guess I accidentally left it with Avis, I don't remember" Wormsly says to Jack. Jack had developed a sense of suspicion about the brothers "the man I killed...he said he was part of your 'experiment'" Dr.Wormslys eyes narrowed and he went stiff almost angry at such accusations.
Dr.Wormsly turned to Jack "my serum is the cure for the world, I made their weapons and I create their thoughts" he says with a smug smile "people just aren't a fan of perfection and Wolf thought I was trying to manipulate the war" Jack paused "then what is the serum for? What are you exactly trying to cure?"
Dr. Wormsly's gaze lingered on the worn-out propaganda posters that adorned the walls of his office. The posters depicted President Cordero, holding what seemed like the sun, surrounded by enthusiastic soldiers. The words "the perfect army" were boldly displayed, leaving an eerie message. "It's not finished," Dr. Wormsly muttered to himself, his voice filled with a tinge of disappointment.
Jack noticed the change in Dr. Wormsly's demeanor and followed his gaze to the posters. Memories flooded Jack's mind, and he couldn't help but share his revelation with Dr. Wormsly."I had the exact poster when I was a kid-but listen"his voice was trailing off "the man,Wolf-was killed, he was my Fa-",
Dr.Wormslys face suddenly lit up with excitement. He had received an email notification about an upcoming festival in their town, and his eyes gleamed with anticipation. Dr.Wormsly turned to Jack and eagerly extended an invitation.
"The bubble festival! Yoshi used to take me there, Avis was always busy signing autographs and talking about music but it's still one of the best festivals, there's even a wishing well I like to go."
He then clears and lowers his voice "Begging your pardon, Evergreen," Dr.Wormsly pleaded, "but I would be honored if you could join me at the festival. It's a moment of celebration and unity, a chance for us to unwind and appreciate life amidst the chaos of war."
Jack initial response was hesitant. mad about the interruption, but he found it rare for Dr.Wormsly to be happy about something. Suddenly, he had forgotten what he was going to say. Dr. Wormsly's smile was genuine, and so Jack awkwardly smiled back and agreed to go.
He were accustomed to a life of duty and discipline, and the idea of participating in a festival seemed foreign to him. However, Dr.Wormsly genuine enthusiasm and the prospect of a brief respite from the battlefield tugged at his heart.
"That sounds great, Dr.Wormsly," Jack said, his initial annoyance fading. " I could use a break."
Dr. Wormsly's face beamed with delight. "Excellent! It's always important to take a break and connect with our community. I believe it will rejuvenate our spirits and strengthen our bond as a team."
Jack raised his eye brow "You hate social interaction and live like a roach, don't be hypocritical " he says enjoying how easily Dr. Wormsly got offended. Sure enough, Wormsly's pale face turned red, and Jack couldn't help but grin.
Dr. Wormsly collected his emotions and silently rolled his eyes. "We can always stay and read your favorite comic books," he retorted.
Jack was flattered that Dr.Wormsly remembered his hobby. He laughed and patted Dr.Wormsly on the shoulder. "No, we're definitely going to the festival together."
Dr. Wormsly smiled, pleased with the decision. With the invitation accepted, Jack and Dr. Wormsly looked forward to the upcoming festival
"Okay Wiggles let's do this! I'll bring all my friends too." Jack says, Dr. Wormsly glares at him "all?..." he says.
