"I don't know how you get me into these situations." Morgan was sitting at the bar, reviewing in her head the last twenty four hours, wondering how she ended up in such a foreign place.

"We're in a guild. This is a dream come true. Imagine the fun we'll have." Ivy welcomed her new surroundings, The stunning smell of freshly dusted mahogany, and breathtaking red and gold decorations that seemed to hug every corner of the spacious room in the best way.

"Yeah, bad guys, life jeopardising missions, basicly being called a hero on the daily . Life here is as good as it can get." Jason directed his hand towards the bulletin board in the middle of the room. "And it all starts by choosing the right flyer."

"Did he just say life jeopardising?" Morgan glared over to Ivy.

"Jason Archer, you aren't scaring these fresh faces are you?" A deep voice asked suddenly, making Ivy and Morgan jump. His dark brown hair was untamed covering his eyes. The smirk he carried on his face seemed to contradict the moody disposition he conveyed as he leaned against the counter.

"No Ezekiel, I'm not. Now why are you back here already. Didn't you sign up to retrive some magical scythe."

"One, it wasn't a magical scythe, it was a legendary synth. Two, I already did, come on I left two weeks ago how long do you think it takes me to take down some bad guys and get back home."

Morgan leaned over and whispered in Ivy's ear. "This guy's weird."

"Even if that's true, do you really think you have room to say anything." Ivy whispered back.

"I'm serious, I can pick up on people's' thoughts remember. I'm getting nothing from him."

"Maybe he's just not thinking." Ivy said to her matter a factly

"That's not how it works!" Morgan groaned.

"So do I get names of the new girls? Or are they just gonna keep telling secrets over there." The girls leaped away from each other and smiled at him innocently.

Jason wrapped his arms around both girls and smirked. "Their names are Morgan and Ivy, and since I found them first, their mine."

Morgan tensed up her shoulders. "Why is he touching me."

"She doesn't do well with that kind of stuff." Ivy turned to Jason's direction, while Morgan slowly scooted away from him.

"What about you? How do you deal with that kind of stuff?" Jason moved to wrap his arms around her waist.

"Just fine." Ivy blushed.

"What the hell is going on." Rider hollard pulling Jason back by his shirt collar. "I'm not running a brothel here."

"A quote from Rider's head." Morgan began to say."'Jason is hitting on the cutest girl in the room like usual. He really should give someone else a shot.'"

Rider looked at her in horror. "What the hell? How did you-"

"She's a mind reader." Ivy winked at him. "And thank you." Rider just shook his head not looking directly at anyone.

"Mind reader?" Zeke seemed extremely curious. "What am I thinking then?"

Morgan froze for a moment, looking at Ivy and then back at Zeke. "I don't know, I can't exactly read your mind. Which is a first for me."

"Well, that's an interesting turn of events." He seemed to be a pleased smile on his face. "I can just tell you. I don't think I want to call you Morgan. It's not, catchy enough."

"But that's my name?" Morgan wasn't really sure how to feel about his comment.

"Got a last name?" Zeke's smile changed from content to playful.
