It was the next day, and I got up early once more. It was 4:00 in the morning and the sun wasn't up yet. I got out of bed, put on my suit and utility belt, and grabbed my backpack. I grabbed my cellphone and put it in my pocket. I walked to my mirror and opened it. I walked down the stairs until I was in the foyer. Ahead, I saw Diana and the Elite Five. I walked over and greeted them.

"Ready to go?" Diana asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" I cried with excitement.

We walked to the agency's jet garage and got in a silver private jet. Our pilot's name was Agent Leon. He had teal hair and navy blue eyes.

"Where to Ms. Diana?" he asked.

"Altea, the Solar Light Quadrant." Diana replied.

"Aye aye!"

Before I knew it, we were above the clouds, on our way to Altea. The sun was rising, but I can still make out different constellations. I didn't mean to, but I started naming every one, and explaining them out loud.

Sorry. I just LOVE astronomy.

"Ursa Major is a constellation in the northern sky, whose associated mythology likely dates back into prehistory. Its Latin name means "greater she-bear", standing as a reference to and in direct contrast with nearby Ursa Minor, the lesser bear." I said.

Hunter heard me and looked out the window.

"Oh yeah, I see it. I never really was an astronomy kind of guy, but still, it's nice to learn about it. Can you tell me more?" he asked.

I nodded my head.

"Scorpius is one of the constellations of the zodiac. Its name is Latin for scorpion, and its symbol is. Scorpius is one of the 48 constellations identified by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the second century," I said pointing it out.

"Your knowledge for astronomy is truly impeccable, Genevieve," Diana said.

"Thanks, Diana. That means a lot."

"I wanted to wait until we got to Altea, but I guess I can give it to you guys now."

We gathered around Diana. She brought out a black briefcase with ESA in silver letters. She opened it and there were different spy gear and gadgets.

"This is an electric whip, crafted with bulletproof steel, and I believe this is a perfect weapon for you, Genevieve." Diana said handing it to me.

I stared at her, and took it gladly. It was a little heavy, but I had a firm grip on it. I pressed the button and a long, neon blue whip of electricity appeared. It was beautiful. I turned it off, and put it on my utility belt.

"Thank you, Diana." I said.

"You are welcome. Now, for the rest of you." Diana said.

Before I knew it, everyone had a new gear or gadget. Austin had a pair of spy glasses that can record anything at anytime, and they're heat amplifying glasses. Hunter had robotic gloves and boots, and they were called stompers and hammer hands. Nathaniel had gotten a golden wristwatch that can scan anyone and tell you their history, and it can shoot tranquilizer darts out of the scanner's lens. Maddie had a lipstick taser. Press the button and you can leave your opponent paralyzed.

"We'll be landing soon, Ms. Diana." Leon called out.

"Okay everyone, we are about to land, so gather your things and get ready." Diana announced.

I gathered my things and put them in my backpack. It was 8:00 in the morning, and I couldn't wait to see Altea.

I feel like such a tourist.
