Vic's POV:
After getting the information that Jaime and I will be going to the future a couple of days ago, that's everything my life has revolved around. We had been having meetings, being informed about all kinds of things and going through mental and physical tests to make sure we can handle the time traveling.

Apparently, traveling in time is supposed to put you through the kind of challenges it does while going to space so for our own safety and for the mission to be able to succeed, many tests have been needed. Though we're definitely close to getting to the end now, and the realization of how close we are to traveling to the future has hit me like a ton of bricks.

I've been extremely nervous about it, even though I'm mostly looking forward to this mission. Both because I know that we are saving the country from going completely downhill in the future, and because of the fact that we're about to travel in time, which apparently is possible. Yeah.. I have not really been able to wrap my head around that yet.

I know that the job is not completely danger free. I know there are risks, but that doesn't really matter much to me. The risks in my job has never really scared me before, and neither will I let them do so now. The thing I've always loved the most about my job is that I can help people the way I do.

I've saved people's life, and I've made people's lives better, which was always my goal. Having the background story that I have, it's always been important for me to help people and make people feel better. Growing up as a foster kid, being thrown around to different families definitely wasn't my ideal way of growing up. But it was how I was simply forced to grow up. Looking at how far I've come, living by myself instead of with "parents" who only wanted to be my "parents" for a good image and money from the state and having a job I love, makes me feel like I've come a long way and will only keep accomplishing good things.

Jaime's voice is what eventually breaks me out of my thoughts and I look at him in confusion, understanding I must have spaced out for longer than I realized. I ask him to repeat what he said and after sarcastically rolling his eyes at me he does so.

"I was asking if you're going out for lunch, and if so, we could go together."

"Yeah sure, sounds good."

I pack up a couple of my things, putting them into place before I leave my office where Jaime and I had recently been having a talk about the mission. We both leave my office and I lock the door behind me before we go to a nearby restaurant that isn't too fancy. Even though my pay is very good at this job, I don't want to use up all my money on food that doesn't even taste that much better than the cheaper food.

The both of us order for ourselves before sitting down in one of the booths together, beginning to eat our food while having just ordinary light hearted conversation.

"So Victur, how's the love life going?" Jaime asks me between chews and I roll my eyes at him.

"Okay first of all, you have got to stop calling me Victur. And secondly, not very well. I can barely even remember the last time I went on a date with someone."

"Dude! You're twenty five years old, that is not how you should be living your life when you are twenty five years old. You should be dating, and having fun for fuck's sake."

"Well I know, I've just been busy with work lately. And in case you've somehow managed to forget this or something, we're going to the future in a couple of days," I say, lowering my voice at the end to not risk anyone hearing what I'm saying.

"Maybe you'll meet someone there," Jaime says and chuckles for a bit at his own joke.

"Hime. We're going to the future to prevent a disaster for the country, not for me to go find myself a boyfriend."
