KillerJoy

"Welcome home, apple pie" Lucy and the girls hugged the youngest, and Nana from behind spooked her. "Boo!" She shocked her yet Angeline was not shocked but surprised that her mentor, Natsumi was there too to join them in the reunion.

Natsumi is Japanese 20 years old girl who lives In Tokyo, Japan, and had been in the squad for 8 years. Codename, Nanami. Specialist in close combat and spying.

"How's your solo mission without us ?" Lucy asked Angeline who's trained under Antonio and Jester. Thus, she had to do the mission on her own. For her doing solo is better as she doesn't have to think about others' safety.

Angeline smiled and told them that it was nothing and laughed awkwardly as she scratches her neck. "Our baby grew up so fast" Grace pinched her cheek and Angeline laughed.

"I'm 17 this year" Angeline mumbled as Grace's finger still haven't let her cheek go.

"Hey, ladies, who're ready to eat?" George Harris said as he showed the girlled food in his hand which he grilled at the backyard.

When they passed the kitchen door, the alluring smell of grilled meat makes theirs' stomach growled in hunger. Harry Martin is an excellent chef whose training under Katherine and also Jimmy's childhood friend.

The table for 10 was set and a variety of foods and drinks were placed on the table for them to self-service. Angeline took a plate and help herself with her squad's dishes. She took each and every one of the dessert and placed it into her plate as she very loved it- She's a sweet tooth!!

A cut red pie caught Angeline's sight while eating the dessert arranged perfectly on her plate. She stands up and approaching Benjamin Lars, her 18 years old childhood friend with a big smile who's there as well.

Benjamin was very clear about it and gave her a huge slice of the sweet apple pie. "Here you go" Benjamin handed her the plate. "Thanks, Ben" She hops happily and went back to her seat in front of her delighted dessert.

They all gathered and as the oldest, Edwin crossed his hand as he leads them to pray to the Lord for such an amazing reunion as they could spend time together again.

Even though it's only 9 of them, it just likes having a large family gathered from a different place. Natsumi stops eating and put her fork beside her as she was looking at her squad enjoying their meal and chit-chatting.

Although it's kinda noisy yet she could feel the real feeling of having a family in her heart.

Aaron had to stop eating as his hawk, Rica perched on his shoulder with a small scroll of messages placed in a special place to put the scroll.

Aaron then opened the scroll and sighed loudly. "Looks like we have to attend a ball as a mission" He burned the scroll with his lighter and sip his drink.

It's been a strict rule for them to burn every piece of the message received to prevent from it getting exposed to other people.

"What a killer joy" Leonardo continued to drink more. Lucy from behind him and took the bottle of alcoholic drink and put it aside. Lucy warned him not to drink too much or he will be light-headed and sick on the next day.

"Gather up at 7 am tomorrow and we will discuss it" Edwin sighed. < Looks like I will be here in about a month. > Angeline sighed and eat her last bite of apple pie.

[ Meanwhile... ]

Kitana entered Angeline's room and shocked when she saw Jay was waiting for her in front of the door and has her towel in his hand.

"Hello, princess" He started with a nice smile and bow his head a little. Kitana never feels this awkwardness after so long and she very uncomfortable with it.

"Queen Angeline asked me to guard you throughout her absence and worried something happened during her mission. So, I will be responsible upon your safety and your training from today onwards" He explained and Kitana nodded as she asked him for her towel.

"But my mark is sealed. You cant unsealed it" Kitana touched her forehead and gasped as a realization came to her mind. "How are you going to guide my training if both of us can't use magic," She said and Jay pats her head softly as he giggled when her face slightly turned red.

"You must be thinking about Edgar, arent you?" He guessed and Kitana blushed even harder as she denied everything. But Jay shushed her as he was pushing her towards the bathroom.

"The mouth can lie but not the heart" Jay shooked his head and guard the door to make sure someone comes in.

[ Later at that night ]

Frost was unable to sleep well without seeing her face before closing his eyes. He kept wondering her safety and curiosity started to fill his mind.

He stares on his phone and hoped to receive a call from his girlfriend yet neither of the message and calls received. He waited in about an hour and getting impatient as every minute ticked.

// Ring Ring //

Angeline's phone rang yet no one in that room. "Where is that girl?" He asked himself. Worried about her absence, he teleported to her room in LA and both of them bumped into each other as Angeline was also just arrived in her room from the Magical world.

He swiftly kisses her to shut her mouth from shouting as he knew she was shocked suddenly see him in front of her face.

Noticing Angeline live alone in that room, he dragged her on the bed and snuggled on her breast.

"You moron" Angeline giggled as she tried to escape from his embrace. They spend time together talking until Frost yawned and fast asleep. Angeline didn't feel lonely and happy to see him yet he has to leave before her squad finds out.

[ 30 minutes later ]

Benjamin opened her door and put a glass of milk on the table as it's become one of her habit waking in the middle of the night searching for something to drink and saw another person sleeping one bed with her. Benjamin walked out of the room and saw Harry walking to his room.

"Psstt... Harry" He loudly whispered to call him from quite a distance.

"Should we tell Jimmy about him?" Benjamin asked Harry and he sighed. He knew Jimmy would be so furious if knowing a guy sleeping beside her.

"Hmmm...Maybe not. Just go asleep already." Harry yawned and leave him there.

"As long as he brings no harm to her, that's fine" Benjamin closed the door and Frost opened his eyes as he heard all of their conversations.
