“If anyone ever creates a cure for jet lag I will probably marry them,” Maya said, shaking her head at herself for not listening to all the times people gave her tips for overcoming it.

❝     i     would     be     careful     saying     something     like     that,     agent     chameleon.     next     thing     you     know     in     a     couple     of     months     someone     just     might     invent     one     and     then     you’re     shit     out     of     luck.     ❞

“wow, that almost was genuine. i’m impressed,” roes chuckled, a sigh of disbelief following shortly after. “um, a great one? listen, i know it’s your job to teach us, advise us, and make us the future of the agency but honestly you guys could learn a thing or two from us. all work and no play can make for a very hostile work environment y’know. it also builds a lot of sexual tension. is that why you’re scolding me instead of being off with zach?”

freya   doesn’t   mean   it   to   be   rude   (   oh,   well,   SHE   DOES   —   but   it’s   the   thought   that   counts   that   might   forgive   her   )   but   she   can’t   help   the   half-snort,   half-laugh   that   screams   ‘OH,   BULLSHIT’   that   passes   her   lips.   “oh,   but   that’s   what   everyone   says.”   frankly,   freya   doesn’t   believe   her   …   but   she’ll   keep   milking   it   anyways,   just   because   it’s   fun   to   see   her   instructor   react   so.   “not   to   be   crass   or   anything   but   he’s   far   too   good   looking   to   JUST   be   your   best   friend   and   partner,   ma'am.   but   …   to   each   their   own."

“and what if i want to be alone? no one has to to depend on me. no one has to miss me if i end up in a shallow grave somewhere. it’s just….less liability,” she spoke, shocking even herself at how dark the thought was. “i know you’re trying to help but honestly nothing will change my mind.” her arms were folded over her chest again, almost like a defense mechanism from talking about the subject anymore. “i’ve interacted with plenty of people. i even walked away from a potential fight because it wasn’t worth it. you should be proud.”

sasha     understood     where     the     other     was     coming     from     and     couldn’t     completely     disagree     with     her     reasoning.     she     was     aware     of     the     fact     that     katerina     had     quite     a     lonely     life     so     far     and     she     really     wished     she     wouldn’t     think     that     it     was     better     that     way.     there     was     no     way     she     could     erase     that     thought     from     her     brain     and     decided     it     was     best     to     just     drop     it.     ❝     i     am     proud,     most     wouldn’t     hesitate     to     fight     back.     who     was     giving     you     a     hard     time     and     what     was     it     about?    ❞

“like i said, one day i’ll know how to speak it. but for now the rest of the european laguanges will do,” she replied, a shrug gracing her shoulders as she saw the slightest look of approval appear on sasha’s face. “i mean once upon a time this place is all i dreamed about. all the stories my sisters and parents told. it’s like college but better. and here i am now and honestly i just want to get in the field. sitting in classes all day is so dull. except your class of course.”

❝   i’m   so   flattered,   thank   you.   ❞   she   said   with   only   a   small   hint   of   sarcasm   to   her   words.   ❝   all   play   and   no   work,   what   kind   of   job   would   that   be?   you   have   to   get   through   the   boring   stuff   in   order   to   actually   go   on   missions.   it’s   much   more   rewarding   that   way,   agent   nyx.   ❞

leave   it   to   romanov   to   blue   balls   her,   but   at   least   something   interesting   came   out   of   this   …   intervention,   per   se.   she   watches   as   the   core   lands   in   the   garbage,   and   freya   slowly   claps.   “damn.   what   can’t   you   do,   agent   dynamite?”   she   smirks,   “oh,   well…   for   one,   settle   whatever   you’ve   got   going   with   bedlam.   you   know   everyone’s   talking   about   it,   but…”   she   shrugs,   “i   didn’t   say   anything."

          THE SOCIAL WAS GOING OFF WITHOUT A HITCH AND YET, zachary princeton couldn’t bring himself to just sit down and enjoy it. his fingers kept twitching like someone was pulling an invisible thread – and his chest kept rising and filling with anger. anger towards what? or who? agent bedlam couldn’t figure it out why, but the feeling was one he felt way too often. with his hands curled into fists hidden inside his pockets, he walked stealthily around the party, eyes darting from person to person. there were too many new faces to remember, too many names to learn and his mind couldn’t focus over the sounds of chatter and music. he sank into the shadows, leaning against a back wall with a cup of watered down punch in his hands. he was content with sitting back and wasting the night away alone until he saw her. sasha looked ethereal, as always, and for the first time in the night, he felt relieved. zach peeled himself off the wall to approach her, placing a hand on her back when he came up behind her. “ thank god you’re here, i’ve been avoiding everyone else tonight, “ he said in her ear. “ they keep asking me what bedlam means. “

the    night    had     been     filled    with    uneventfulness    aside    from     a    few    cadets    who    tried    to    fight    each    other.    she    made     small    talk    with     a     handful    of    others    but     she    was     still     left    feeling    disinterested    and     wishing     the     get     together    would    end.    a    good    portion    of     her    attention    was    spent     observing     the     crowds     and    wondering    where    her    best    friend    was.  when    she    felt     someone    place    their     hand     on    her     back,    she     immediately    went     into     defense    mode    until    the    sound    of    zachary’s    voice     filled    her    ears.    what    he said     caused    a    smile    to    creep     onto     her     face,     a    rare    sight     that    most    of    the    time     only    he    could    provoke.    ❝    you     should’ve     taken     my     suggestion     of     ‘     hoodlum     ’     instead,     then     you     wouldn’t     be     in     this     situation.   ❞     she     teased    and    nudged    his     shoulder    playfully,    ❝    neither     of     us     really     want     to     be     here   and     i     got     some     beer     stocked     away     in     my     room.    i     say     we    should     just     ditch     this    thing.   ❞

          for the first time that night, zach laughed. it was small, but the sound was warming and it made him feel at ease. perhaps if he played his hand right, the night wouldn’t be as bad as he thought it’d be. he pulled at the sleeves of his suit even though he didn’t need to, wanting to do something else with his hands. he glanced back at agent dynamite, a smile dancing across his lips as he watched her eyes dart from his gaze to the windows. they’d arrive at any second and agent bedlam couldn’t decide if the butterflies in his stomach were going to fly out of his throat or dissipate with adrenaline. “ deal. i would hate to accidentally hit you instead of the target, the paperwork would be insane. “ his voice was deadpan, but he was joking. mostly. his eyes drifted down her body, taking in her sight before he settled on her shoes. the heels were as tall as the mini daggers they were trained to use and the mere thought of squeezing his feet into them made him cringe. “ those look like they could be used as a murder weapon. “

“so that means you have to babysit me? great.” kat knew her attitude could use adjusting, sasha only wanted the best for her after all since she viewed her like a sister. but this entire situation was just too much for kat to handle. all her life she had been told one thing and now she was being told do something she wasn’t used to. “i have friends. and i don’t want too many of them. but i’ve been lonely all my life so it’s something i’ve already accepted.”
