"Lay me down. Get ready to play. Do you have the energy? Cause I got all day. Lead me where you want us to go. I'm ready and willing. Let's take it slow."
- KYB.

"Shit. We're late." I muttered under my breath once the hyperloop door opens as both Eggsy and I finally arrived at Kingsman HQ, and I led the both of us out of the transportation, as I smiled at the thought of anyone who can watch the view of the hanger from this part of the command center, when I let the boy to find and see it from himself with a look of awe and amusement written all over his face which makes me smile as I stared at the adorable expression plastered on his face of seeing this for the first time.

Everyone would think that the view of the hanger is grand and amazing, though I would think that the boy who is currently staring at it is. Though as a Kingsman agent who is not allowed to have attachments since it's against the rules, I kept the feeling all to myself, because sooner or later, the feeling will go away.. maybe. Besides, what am I actually feeling for this boy? Why am I feeling this way? Where did this feeling come from? Instead of trying to figure it out, I tried to push it to the back of my mind while I then spoke to him.

"I had the same look on my face."

Smiling lightly, he turns to me before he glances at the view again. After a slight moment of hesitation, I reached my hand out to which he takes and I led him furthur inside, walking down a narrow hallway and turned right where both Daddy and Merlin are already waiting for us, and it seems that in Eggsy and I's arrival, their conversation is interrupted as they then turned to us in full attention due to the presence of the new recruit, while I then slowly let go of his hand as he glances between the two men, and I stood by Merlin's side.

"Katherine." Merlin calls me as I took my tablet out. "You're late."

"I'm guessing, they spent too much time at the tailor." Daddy guesses.

"He needs a briefing, doesn't he?" I scoffed lightly as Eggsy glances at me while I then started to swipe some things on my tablet.

"Good luck." Daddy wishes Eggsy, though the boy just stays still in his spot, causing me to look up at his clueless state and decided to speak up.

"In you go."

Eggsy glances at me once more before he enters through the door to join the other recruits, which includes my best friend, Roxanne. Merlin follows after him while I stayed outside with Daddy for a while who glances at the door, and he just looks down at me while I raised my eyebrows in question.

"I did it. I really did tell him some things." I told him. "I'm guessing.. like how you would say it, because you're always right and you know the right things to say. You really think he's going to make it?"

"And you did very well too." He comments. "And that's how you should always be. When it comes to Roxanne.." He sighs. "..you chose her for Percival, didn't you? Just so you don't want Arthur to know it's you."

"I had to send her down to an agent, you know?" I chuckled as I started to approach the same door slowly with my gaze still on him.

"Good. Then, my girl knows what she's doing. In you go." He urges and pushes me lightly, causing me to giggle shortly before I entered without Daddy, and only with Merlin now who has the recruits in line respectively.

"Okay." I started loudly and clearly. "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Katherine, and this is Merlin. You are about to embark on what is probably the most dangerous job interview in the world. One of you, and only one of you, will become the next Lancelot."
