"Alright get in get in! " echo stands at the edge of the large truck, helping the gifts get into the back of the van. The side of the van had a fake business logo on it they wanted to make it seem as if it was extremely unimportant so it wouldn't draw the protesters attention. Everyone helping with this was hand picked by Echo and her boss, through a series of background checks and no stone was unturned. This was extremely important. They even made sure that justice and his men knew exactly when it was going down on the dot. There was no room for screw up.
She jumps into the back of the van pulling the door down and securing it easily before sitting back with the gifts. The gifts though shy and some talked less than others were very attached to Echo.
"Echo! Will we be able to meet suzuko and Hydra?" Clover grins at her, Clover was a dark haired gift that was relatively taller than most of the gifts, she had the habit of hunching over to make herself seem smaller. She chose her name after a few days with Echo, most of the gifts did. It helped them relax and gave them something to think about, to help them Echo would show them pictures on the Internet of what things looked like and on occasion she would bring things in. Small simple things like flowers, books, and other things.
"Of course" She grins back at the beautiful gift, she pets clovers head in a comforting not manner like a mother would to a child.
"There's a man isn't there?" Dolly, a smaller gift with light brown hair tilts her head showing off the small barely noticeable scars across her face.
"Yes, he is a new species..." Echo stares at the ceiling thoughts drifting to Jericho and his intense Crimson eyes.
"You love him?" Darling chimes from the back of the van, all the gifts were watching Echo with excited expressions on their faces. They loved listening to Echo's stories, she would often tell them fairy tales or stories of herself. They adored it and would on occasion call her mom, Echo didn't mind in her mind they were her kids.
"Yes, I would say I do... I'm certain that the moment I saw him.. I knew he was mine I guess you could say"
"Well what's he look like?"  Angel watches with a hard look on her face, angel was excited to hear about the male her savior had fallen for. Unfortunately for her, Angel had a hard time showing emotion.
Echo lets out a long airy laugh, her eyes glazing over while she goes into thought "well he is very tall, with a strong muscular build he has tan skin and long black hair, and his eyes are a beautiful Crimson color"
"How did you meet?" Dolly giggles and hugs angels arm. The gifts were nervous about this move, most were quiet just listening to the rest talking in hope for comfort. Echo figured since they had quite a bit time until they would be getting to the reserve she might as well tell them a story.
"Well it all started with suzuko," she paused waiting for the gifts to get settled, they watched her eyes wide and curious. A few were still too traumatized from who had them before to speak at all yet. "She loves the new species, more than anything. We would often watch the news to make sure they were safe or if any new species were found, well one day she decided that she wanted to have a new species as a pen pal and little did I know she was trying to set me up with a male. We walked it to the front gates and gave the mail to one of the workers, a few days later after no reply suzuko tried to go to the gates with hydra without me. The protesters pushed and shoved her, luckily she was saved by the guards who took her into NSO land and called me to pick her up. While I was there I met Jericho, the male whom I am in love with. He was the one who got my daughters letter, sadly I did not get much time with him because I had to leave. At least I got to meet all of you though" she gives a toothy grin, throughout all of this Echo was finally happy, she felt like she was making a difference and she loved it.
She knew for a fact that she was going to continue and help gifts like this. Nothing was going to change that.
