I arrived at Sigma's lab

It smelled like a dentist's office, sterilized and clean.

The laboratory was huge. A massive model of a black hole sat in the middle, and a poster at least 8 x 10 (feet) sag on the wall explaining Newton's laws of physics

If I was some sort of physician, I would be ecstatic.

Sigma: "Well hello, you must be the new Agent I've heard about!"

Crow: "Yep, that's me."

Sigma: "Do you know what I specialize in, Crow?"

I looked around the room

Crow: "Well if I had to guess, black holes?"

Sigma: "An astute observation, my friend"

This guy is fucking insane

Crow: "So what exactly did you call me here for?"

Sigma: "Oh yes, forgive me, my sanity is deteriorating."

No shit

Sigma: "Well, I have total control over gravity.."

What the fuck did this looney just say?

Sigma: "And so I have constructed this pair of boots. They will allow you the ability to levitate, letting you reach higher ground faster than you could regularly. They will also let you regulate your gravity level, and let you walk on the wall and the ceiling."

Crow: "Uhm.. cool. How high and how fast can they go?"

Sigma: "Allow me to demonstrate. Or rather, you."

He put the boots on the ground and gestured me to put them on

Let me tell you, these absolute units weighed as much as ski boots, and this guy expects me to use these in the field?

Sigma: "Ok, go ahead and flip the switch here, and here, and they should power up."

I did as he requested and powered the boots on.

Sigma: "Ok, here's your control panel"

He handed me a little remote that attached to my hand.

Sigma taught me what each button did, and I started to levitate, went 0 grav, and stuck to the ceiling

This was fun as hell, I take back everything I said about you Sig.

Crow: "Wow, thanks Sigma. These are going to help me out ok the field a lot."

Sigma: "No problem, Crow. And please, call me Siebren."

Crow: "Well then, see you soon, Siebren"

He nodded his head and I left.

I arrived at my room and stored my new equipment in my weapons locker.

A knock came to the door

I went to answer it, It most certainly wasn't the police, so I didn't worry about looking through the eye hole.

I opened it and I saw reaper at the door

Pissed beyond comprehension

I opened the door

Crow: "Hey there, what's up-"

He cut me off with violent screaming and many many death threats. I could barely make out what he was saying when I caught;

How dare you break the record, NO ONE, embarrasses me!

Damn, sore loser

Just then, widowmaker came to pull the big baby away

Widow: "Sorry about that, he hates it when people do better than him."

Crow: "Oh don't worry about it, widow."

Widowmaker: "Just uh.. just call me Amèlie."

I gave her a side smile and nodded

She turned a little pink after that

Does she have a thing for me? Eh, whatever.

I went to take a shower, and got ready for bed. Shorts and a t-shirt, nice and comfortable.

It was cool in my bedroom. Just how it was when I was a child.

Ugh, feelings. Feelings feelings feelings.

Nice, honestly I'm very happy with how this is coming along.

As always, see you in the next chapter.
