Two guys step into the room, pausing their conversation immediately. One of them has a colorful sweatshirt on and the other has a flame on his shirt.
They look rather casual and Quackity doubts they are a part of the agency until he sees their tags.

"Oh hey Wilbur," the guy with the flame shirt waves.

Oh great they know Wilbur too.

"Ooh, is this the new guy?" the colorful one asks happily.

Quackity dislikes them already.

"Yeah, Quackity meet Nick and Karl, they are in the spy division," Wilbur introduces them, gesturing to each one.

The shorter male does a very unenthusiastic wave.
They don't seem like good spies...
He can't help but judge as he stares at the two.

"Wow Wilbur, didn't expect to see you in the climbing room since you don't like heights," Karl says casually.

The taller male pinkens slightly. "I wanted to show Quackity."

"Well anyways, we came to find you because the commander wants you and your duo in her office," Nick explains.

"Oh um alright," Wilbur shrugs a little. He gestures Quackity to follow him out of the side room and back into the main training area.

The shorter male ruffles his feathers slightly, then follows, eyeing Nick and Karl as he passes.

"Are they your friends?" he asks Wilbur as the two walk through the training area.

"Sort of, closest thing I got to friends," the other assassin shrugs. "There's not a lot of friendship around here..."

"Why does the commander want to talk to us, do you know?" the shorter male questions him, he's suspicious about earlier.

"I have no idea," Wilbur replies.

Quackity scans him for any sign of a lie but finds none.
"Hmm..."

The two make their way up to the commander's office. Quackity is more wary of her now, knowing the story of her allegedly murdering the previous commander.

He ruffles his wings again, spreading them slightly to stretch the muscles. He almost smacks Wilbur with one and draws them back quickly.

"Well damn, trying to murder me," Wilbur teases, not seeming to mind.

Quackity feels himself flush and wishes he had his mask to pull up over his face to hide it.

"My question is why the commander needs to talk to me again so soon," Wilbur changes the topic thankfully.

The shorter assassin shrugs and goes quiet as the hallway changes and goes darker.
"Shady past... shady area, fitting," he says.

"Hot guy, hot outfits, fitting," Wilbur copies him.

Quackity stares over at him. "What does that even have to do with... you know what nevermind, I can't with you."

The other assassin snickers.

"You better watch your back when we go on missions, I'll murder you randomly," Quackity warns.

Wilbur just snickers harder. "You say that, but it seems like you are starting to like it here."

Quackity pauses and doesn't reply.
Do I like it here...?
No. No way.

He shakes his head silently. "You may have a fancy training room but you'll never have what my old agency had."

Luzu...

He imagines his old partner and a bittersweet feeling runs through him. Luzu probably thinks he's dead...
