To Be Alive Again

Usually, the idea of fighting monsters with awesome powers would be pretty cool. That is if you have nothing to lose. Being in the line of service for your country in the most dangerous job you could ever have, you're betting on everything you have in exchange for victory. Once you're too deep in, the only way to get out of this job is to drag your enemies down with you to hell.

Leaving?

As Irene stands on the head of this monster. She notices the pool of blood down at her feet.

Irene: "Ah right..."

Her left arm is now gone. She could feel the pain and... she could feel her heart beat again. Why is it doing that?

As she tries to think, the head she's standing on starts crumbling. In fact, the monster's entire corpse is crumbling down to pieces. She falls among the debris as she slowly loses the urge to keep her eyes open.

Evelyn: "Gotcha"

Evelyn who rushed in out of nowhere, grabs Irene and carries her in her arms.

Evelyn: "I'm going down"

Driver: "Roger"

Evelyn jumps on one of the falling debris and continues to land all the way down away from the crumbling corpse.

Dalie: "And... Now"

Dalie signals Driver and she uses her ability for a brief second. Wind slows down Evelyn right before she lands to the ground to break their fall.

Evelyn: "I didn't know you had abilities, wind type I'm guessing?"

Driver: "Ah, they're not strong enough to fit the agencies standards tho, heh. I can only use it for a few seconds, it's my abilities limits"

Dalie: "Woah- Save the chit chat for later girls, is Irene still alive?"

Irene: "I'm... Alive..."

Irene raises her remaining hand. She trembles but she's still breathing.

Dalie: "Alright, get her in the car and I'll notify Grunt to prepare us a helicopter to HQ"

....

Evelyn is waiting outside the Agency's Clinic Center. On a bench, she quietly thinks to herself.

Evelyn: "(I can't keep her asleep for too long... Don't die on me Vale)"

Dalie: "Yo! What are you doing here?"

Evelyn: "Oh, nothing. I just thought it'd be better to wait outside to get some fresh air"

Dalie: "Hm, whatever you say... Here. Tea"

Evelyn: "Thanks"

Evelyn sighs as she leans her head back against the bench.

Dalie: "Okay, something is definitely bothering you. What's going on Evie?"

Evelyn: "... Uhm, Look. So I've been thinking about... Leaving... this job"

Dalie: "What!? But Evie, you've been such a good asset to the team!"

Evelyn: "I appreciate that Dalie, I really do but... This is something I can't control. But hey, maybe someday I'll come back when I get the opportunity"

Dalie: "Are you at least gonna tell me why you're leaving?"

Evelyn: "Sorry, I'd feel better if you don't get involved"

Dalie: "But... Sigh... you better come back then"

Evelyn: "I promise"

Dalie's phone pings.

Dalie: "Doc just messaged me. Irene's awake"

She gets up and gestures to Evelyn to come with her.

Dalie: "Let's go greet her. Oh, and tell her about your leave too"

Evelyn: "Actually, I was planning to tell her that myself.. privately"

Dalie: "Ahhhhhh alright thenn~ Come on, she must be looking for us right now"
