[ Southside Kitchen, Valorant HQ, Earth Alpha. Universe 2006-180819 ( Valorant Universe ) ] [ September 13, 2038 ( 9 AFL ) ] [ 7:26AM ]
[ "Felix! Good friend, how have you been? And is that pancakes?!" ] Aamir or, well, Valorant Agent Cypher talked through the hidden microphones of one of the Kitchens in Valorant HQ — this one being southside, where Felix and his children (Alex, Dorothy, Charles) of transparent nature could be seen eating and cooking pancakes.
"Aamir? Oh... It is, want some?" Felix looked around the room and noticed one of the hidden cameras in the room, he looked at the slightly opened cupboard and realized, Felix smiles at the camera stuck inside one of the cupboards and raised one of the pancakes in his hello kitty plate.
( "Absolutely!" ) Aamir the Agent known for his craftiness, ingenious, gifts, and according to himself handsomeness immediately jumped in delight — the mask which is covering his face looking useless as one could immediately see that he is happy, eyes squinting as he spins around his chair, the poorly lit room's vibe he is in on being ignored by him as he slams his hand on the keyboard of his — the rows of screens showing all nooks and crannies of Valorant HQ, but he (Cypher) didn't cared and only focused on the one zoomed in on pancakes.
[ "Yes, Sorcerer that will be most appreciated. I will be there." ] ( "That sounds like a declarative statement, why do I feel slightly pressured?" ) Felix scanned the room and looked at his son (Alex) and daughter (Dorothy) who's eating right beside him having their own plates with ben 10 and barbie design completely ignoring the fork and knife overall as they munch on their separate towers of pancakes, one with syrup and butter.
He then turned around at his other son at Charles and noticed him flying over a pan holding the handle and trying to cook pancake for himself, even though his stack of towers hadn't been touched yet — in seeing this Alex tried to grab some of it, but Dorothy stopped him, causing him to whimper and be sadden, but in realizing that he still have 5 stack of pancakes in front of him made him happy and eat at it.
"PANCAKES?!" Agent No. 05 aka Cypher not soon after (exactly 34 seconds) made his way through the kitchen in a bombastic fashion, kicking through the door as he could be heard albeit slightly earlier screaming the same said thing he is now screaming now, "Oh, hello friends." Cypher tidied himself in realizing the weird look his receiving, waving at his nephews i.e at Dorothy, Charles who almost got cooked by himself, and at Felix. "A-aaagh, no, no no dear nephew let me get that for you."
Cypher's protective nature kicked in instantly in seeing his corporal nephew (Charles) about to turn himself into fried corporal chicken. Which is horrifying in the eyes of Cypher, so he walked past his nephews (Alex, Dorothy) and patted both of them, Alex looked up slightly not realizing that Cypher was here and wagged his tail in seeing him, barking while so, Dorothy on the other hand straightened her back as she drinks from her bowl of milk which is made out of pure gold scribbled lovingly with her name alongside other designs that doesn't mix well together, but she do love it. Having rich aunties does have benefits.
Cypher on the other hand walked faster and faster until he stole the frying pan away from his nephew, Charles, which the latter gave in excitement, [ "Cypher's cooking, Cypher's cooking!" ] Flying about in circles before finally stopping and landing his corporal sharp talons on the shoulder of his uncle, not hurting him in the process. "Oh dear nephew, this is too little. Add more."
Under the watchful and eager eyes of Charles — Cypher who's decked out in his usual heavily armored and futuristic equipment, along with that beautiful hat of his could be seen grabbing the box of pancake powder, he then looked at inside it and sees that it is quite little for his liking albeit 1/4th the size of cartoon, still too small, yet he have to go with it. Cypher throws the powder on the pan, throwing the box to the side alongside the other already emptied box. "Always remember dear nephew, always add more!" Cypher taught in a matter of factly way at the point that Felix who's eavesdropping on the side is worried about the early education of his child, [ "Always add more, always add more!" ] This was fueled more by Charles chirping and repeating what Cypher was saying, scanning and learning from his uncle as he does so. Both the good habits, and especially the bad ones.
Cypher hums a tone to himself as he kept taking materials from left to right, adding flavor and adding more aroma — treating the simple easy to bake pancakes with delicacy like a high class chef, other than the egg which he'll use a carton off, he added salt, sugar, lemon, milk and such. Creating an aroma which captivated Cypher through the mask of his, Charles who's leaning and almost falling on the pan if not thanks to Cypher he would have become an ingredient, "Be careful Charl. Not yet at least, it's too early for lunch." As he pats his nephew on the head, slicing a small part before letting Charles have a taste — one which caused the see-through bird to fly around in the air. [ "Tasty, more." ]
( "Oh dear..." ) Felix who's listening about in the corner could have used magic and automatically cooked everything by himself, he could, he had done so earlier but in seeing Agent Cypher and his son Charles bond is somewhat interesting and beautiful. He knows of the dark and hidden past of Aamir, and how he lost everything, so, in seeing the bond which his bird of a son and him has makes him slightly teary, he couldn't sympathize with losing a family member — never had one as far as he could remember, but, the closest feeling to that is losing any of his children. Which Felix hopes to not understand... He is still hungry though, [ "WOFGH!" ] Alex seems to agree, "Chef, need help in there?" So Felix stood up, plate in hand, or in the case of Alex's and Dorothy's empty plate, floating.
"Ahh, yes, Felix that is most preferable." And so in hearing that Felix did his charm, literal charm as his eyes glows bright violet more than normal. The fridge opened by itself and so ingredients flew out, carton of egg, box of milk, pancakes in the shelves, cheese and such, "Do not forget the butter." "Sure." And so it too flew out the fridge before it automatically closes, all said ingredients could be said either laid out on the left or right side of Cypher.
"And...?" "Another pan will do." Felix nonchalantly placed the empty plates nearby and sat on the counter watching Cypher as he did what Aamir wants, reaching out for a pan nearby, "One more." "Sureeee chef... You cooking for the whole of Valorant HQ?" Felix jokingly said as he grabbed another one hanged nearby, "That... Is not a bad idea." "Wait you serious?" "I am!" [ "Family dinner, family dinner!" ] "Breakfast dear Charls, it's too early for that... No, nevermind that works too."
"Wait, we are doing this? In, what? 7:50 in the morning." "7:31 dear friend." "Ohhh, dear. Alright." In seeing Felix agree Cypher who's the tech wizard in the whole of Valorant HQ smiles under the mask, taking out a small microphone-like object in his jacket as he does so. "Woah, woah, woah. You'll wake all of them up." "No, no, they are already awake dear friend, need not to worry." [ "Pancakes!" ] "Fine, do it." Cypher smiles much the wider as he leans on the microphone and begins to speak...
[ "EMERGENCY ALL VALORANT AGENTS—" ] ( "Oh dear, why did I sign up for this?!" ) Felix watches Cypher in the side let his mischievous side play out, as he already regrets in agreeing with this. They'll wake up the whole of HQ for damn's sake... Then have a party... Then Brimstone will find out... Then he'll get the blame... No, wait, Felix looks to the side and realizes the plan of Cypher, "You!" "I've no idea about that my dear friend." Flashing him that iconic smile through the mask, even though his face is covered, so Cypher settled with a tilt of the hat instead, which made Felix's already pale face more pale. ( "Shi*!" )

[ Fun Fact (Valorant Agent): "Agent No. 5 codename Cypher have a pretty dark past from what I've gathered, he lost his family — a wife and a daughter (if I'm not wrong) either way he in some way blames himself which brought about his overprotective nature. A genius by the way he doesn't have radianite powers but is one of the Agents I fear the most. And in talking about fear one of his greatest fears is people seeing his face, probably relates to that incident." ]
