"That was, intense. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!" Miss Havishma couldn't drop her smile as she rewatched the video of Storm 01 during his training in her pad. It was a very big room for one person. Two times that of the one provided to the regular troopers.
Standing by the door, four couches were kept precisely around a glass table just by the right side of the room. Straight ahead was a king-sized bed that was neatly kept with blue sheets. A blue curtain covered the bed round and by the side of the bed was a huge cupboard.
By the left side, a desk that had a monitor and some scattered books on it with a blue leather-ed chair stood in front of a shelf that was filled with books. The desk and shelf faced the couches that were on the right.
On the left of the desk, there was a refrigerator behind a counter where she stored minor culinary tools. She didn't keep much there since replenishment was served at the cafeteria. The counter and refrigerator were only there just in case she wants to make drinks, like her morning coffee.
She was the only one there and had been grinning from ear to ear. She took off her coat and dropped it on the chair, leaving only a blue dress she had under the coat. A soft knock on the door made her quickly swipe the video away.
"Who is there?"
"Blue 06 ma'am."
Miss Havishma clicked a button under her desk which unlocked the door and Blue 06 made her way in.
"Ma'am, I ran some tests on Storm 01 and found something big," she reported.
Miss Havishma tried her best to contain her excitement in the presence of her subordinate.
"What is it?" she probed.
She passed the tablet she was holding to Miss Havishma. "During his training, the electricity he produced was so much that it should kill him," the arctic-blue-haired girl stated.
"But?" she asked, strolling over to the couch.
"But his body generated a stronger healing system which healed him faster than the damage it did to his body," she explained.
Miss Havishma sat down on the couch and stared at the screen in awe.
"He's unlocked a new ability, ma'am."

Storm 01 walked into the cafeteria in the D.H. He picked a tray and the chef served him. As he turned, he noticed someone waving at him with a huge smile. It was the person that helped them out of the D.H. Sitting next to the girl was Sox.
He paced over to where they were and sat opposite Sox. Now that he was looking closely at the girl, he realized how beautiful she is.
A golden hair that is styled in pigtails. Dark eyes and burnished skin. She had a small build, but an hourglass body shape. A pleasing round thick lips that were succulent and curvy.
Storm 01 sat on a chair with his eyes still fixed on her. She shoots him a bright and cheerful smile.
"Hi," she greeted.
He didn't look away until Sox spoke. "This is Storm 10. Rory, Storm 01," she introduced them.
"Just call me Rory." she extended her hand for a handshake.
As Storm 01 shook her hand, he instantly remembered where he had seen her before. Rory was in the same training camp as he was. He recalled how she always steered trouble with her everywhere she went and that made her the 'captain's favorite' She was also at the bar during his drinking contest with Percy.
Storm 01 cleared his throat and turned to face Sox. "Hey. How have you been?" he questioned. "I'm sorry I put you in trouble with Miss Havishma."
She waved his comment away with a shrug. "It's fine. I made it out in one piece..."
"Correction..." Rory chimed in. "Two." she turned to face Storm 01. "She had tears all over her face and was going to drink herself to death at the bar if I hadn't stopped her."
"I told you I wasn't going to do that. I barely even had a sip," Sox interrupted.
"What happened after we left the bar?" Rory raised her brow.
Sox stared at Rory for a few seconds, trying to recall what happened before tilting her head to Storm 01. "Don't listen to her."
Storm 01 stared at the two of them with a slight smile on his lips. He saw the way they were conversing with each other and it steered up something in him, jealousy.
"How did you two meet?" he probed. The little curious self in him was eager to inquire about the two.
"Allow me," said Rory before shoving her tray to the side.
"Oh, God."
Rory leaned forward and cleared her throat. "Another day of training at the D.H. and as usual, I was being made fun of by this group of girls for being the way I am. I was the youngest and didn't know what to do. At that moment, all I saw was darkness, but all of a sudden, a light twinkled in the dark. She appeared and save me.
"Ever since, those girls never bothered me again. And then I started hanging out with Sox, and got in a lot of trouble with the camp captain," she narrated." Sox's such a sweet girl."
Storm 01 averted his eyes to the food tray in front of him. Rory's small story made him think of Jesselyn. He had no one in his life, no one but her. And instead of being appreciative, he chased her out of it with knife-pointed words.
He snapped out of his thought as Percy threw himself on an empty chair near him, making an irritating, creaking noise.
"What are we talking about?"
"Percy!" Rory chimed. "The health section is threatening to send a report to Chief if you don't check in this week."
Percy waved his hand at her. The look on his face indicated that he wasn't even bothered one bit about what she just uttered.
"What are you doing here Percy?" Storm 01 queried.
Percy looked at Sox who raised her brow at him before turning back to the question. He smiled and puts his hands up." Relax, I promise I'm not here to cause any trouble. Quite the opposite actually," he started." I heard what you did. Snuck out of H.Q. that is really intrepid of you. I wouldn't dare to do that..."
"Just say what you want and quit suffering the community," Rory interrupted.
"I don't want anything," he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Why don't we put our past aside and start over?"
Rory giggled." Why? Because of the blast he did in training so you are reconsidering having him as an enemy?" she winked at Percy.
"Actually..." they all turned to look at him as he started speaking.
"I don't mind being..." Storm 01 stopped for a few moments before speaking. "... Friends."
