Agents of Crime

Ch. 4 The choose

~~~~~~3 years later~~~~~~

I kick the robot making a dint in it's head. I'm glad Eren showed me so many tricks.
3 years have past. Me and Brody are like experts on combat. Thanks to Eren, we might be one of the two best in the agency. He trained us well.
Now I have longer hair and so does everyone else in this team. Eren, as usual, has his brown hair infront of one of his eyes. I wonder why he has his hair that way.
I hear a male voice call out for me. I back kick my last robot for the day. I push the button and look at the door way, and Eren is leaning on the wall watching.
"That was great" he says. "Really, cuz I wasn't trying" I joke with him. He chuckles. He gets off the wall and walks over to me. "Your getting better" he says."thank you"
"The meeting is in 5 minutes, we'll be seeing who's going on thier first mission. You or Brody."
"It's only one of is? " I ask "Yep, I'm sorry, we don't need that many people"
He pats my head then walks out. He only does that, because he likes to tease me, I'm only slightly shorter then him.
He said five minutes, that means I have to be ready before then. I turn around and see that my punching bag is still swaying.
I hear footsteps coming from the hall. I turn around, and Brody walks in.
"I hope you get to go," Brody says "I heard this mission was going to be fun." He smiles warmly.
I smile, letting him know I appreciate what he said. "Thank you. If I do get to, I'll tell you everything."
"If so, don't get hurt" he warns me.
"Yeah, Yeah, I know" I say rolling my eyes, then smile. He acts like a brother to me.
"What type of weapon would you use?" He asks. "I was thinking of using a samurai," I say, then I hear a quiet laugh come from him. I look at him curiously. "What's so funny?" I ask. "You think you're able to use such a long weapon," he says laughing. "Was that a short joke?" I say with a serious face. He laughs harder. "Yes"
Eren walks in and holds up two fingers. "Two more minutes," he says. Me and Brody look back and he's gone. "Imma go get ready," I say and walk out. "Wait," he say quickly. "What?" I ask. "Did you get your suit yet?" He asks. "I haven't been in my room for an hour, it's probably there," I say. "Caleb said he made us matching suits," he chuckles. "We'll see," I say then walk off.
I open my door and Eren is sitting on my bed like he was waiting for me. "Hurry up," he says then teleports behind me, then whispers "get your suit on," I quickly look behind me and I don't see him. "Stop playing games," I giggle, then shut my door to change into my new suit. I look at my bed and see it laying there. It's leather and has a zipper in the front. It looks like Catwoman's suit, but mines darker. I have boots that go with it. I don't have the head piece Catwoman has, thankfully. I giggle to myself, thinking of what I'd look like with the head piece like Catwoman.
I walk into the room where everybody was. "You look good, Athena," Eren says, "your late too."
"Sorry," I say, then sit down in a chair in-between Brody and Shon. " The people I call out are going on this mission. Sorry to whoever isn't going. If it makes you feel any better, I'm not going." Eren says, "Shon, Kaitlyn, Micheal, Caleb, and Brody. Okay, the people I just called, please go to the vehicle. Jane will be leading y'all through this." I feel a little sad that Eren chose Brody instead of me. Brody looks at me, worriedly. "I'm sorry," he says softly. "It's not your fault you were chosen," I say. He nods his head in agreement, then hugs me. "I'll be worrying about you the whole time," I softly giggle. I can just since that he feels bad for me, but I'm not sad....I'm glad, that he's going. He chuckled quietly. Then let's go of me. "Be safe," I say. "I will mom," he says sarcastically, like a child. Me and him laugh together for a second, then we see our team just staring at us. "Oh my god, I totally ship it," Caleb says loudly.
I wave at my teammates as they leave. I feel a little lonely, now that Brody's gone.
Eren puts his hand on my shoulder. "Sorry I didn't pick you, I just thought since Brody is a boy, he should go through this dangerous mission first,"
"Just cuz I'm a girl, I don't get to go?" I say a little angrily. "I just want you to be safe," he says. "Why? I've been training for 3 years!" I say loudly. I turn to look at him, and he looks like I just made fun of him. "You'll go on the next mission, it's in 3 weeks," he says quietly, then walks away. I stand there...In the empty hallway.
I walk to the kitchen and grab a quick snack before training.
I walk into my training room with chocolate on the sides of my mouth. I hear someone walk in, so I quickly look behind me. Eren is standing there silent. "What," I ask, wondering what he's here for. "Nothing, just wanted to see how your doing," he says. "I'm fine," I say, then press the button on my arm. I kick a robot, decapitating it. I feel a hand grab my leg, half in the air. I almost fall, after I press the button.
I see Eren holding my leg. "You almost kicked me," he says. I yank my leg away from him. "Why are you still in here," I ask. "I'm trying to look for your flaws in fighting. Balance is one of them," he says. He wipes the sides of my mouth, so I slap his hand away. "What the heck," I say. "You have some chocolate on the sides of your mouth," he says, so I wipe my mouth.
He chuckles a little bit. "I'll work with you tomorrow on your balance," he says then walks out.
It's been a few hours and I'm exhausted, so I go to my room and fall asleep.
