They all climbed into the spaceship and it took off for Winter Weir. The ship was of two parts, a front, and a back section. All the agents entered in the back, while Chief, Miss Havishma, and the Electro squad stayed in the front. It was a flight to The Realm and they are estimated to arrive in 30 minutes.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFBUO3kekM
Electro 28 sat far back away from his companions. His eyes were buried in his palm and he didn't notice as Miss Havishma sat beside him until she offered him a spacebread. Spacebread looks exactly like a sandwich but tastes so much better. It is in a triangle shape and wrapped in a smooth golden paper that keeps it warm.
He stared at it for a few moments before taking it from her hand.
"When I found out I had Sox," she started. "I was young and naive and didn't know what to do. Also because of the law that says a working agent shouldn't be responsible for a child."
They were at the far end of the front section. Others were out of earshot and couldn't have in on their conversation.
"I eventually stopped reporting for health checks. And when my belly started protruding, I immediately flew to the Underground..."
"The underground?"
Miss Havishma nods. She unwrapped the paper around the spacebread and continued speaking. "It was the best place to hide without Chief or the D.H. finding me," she explained.
"Was that the time when you sent in a solo mission?"
"Yes. And when I held Sox in my hands, I couldn't give her away so I faked an identity card for her and brought her in as a stray child."
"I remember. You returned two years later with a child, and took over the research team while leading the Electro squad as you did," he laughed bitterly.
Miss Havishma explained, but he only felt like he drowned deeper in the sea.
"How did you cope, with life while living in the Underground?"
Miss Havishma looked at him and then turned to the spacebread she was holding, her face turning into sadness as she taught back to the past. "I survived. Managed to raise her alone. But she hates me, for not revealing who her father is to her."
"Who is?" Joe questioned.
Miss Havishma bites her lips. She weighed her option, whether or not to reveal it to Electro 28. She sighed and turned to speak, but chief interrupted their conversation.
"What are you two chewing on about?" He asked, sitting in front of them. He took off his hat and push back his hair.
Miss Havishma took a huge bite of her spacebread and looked away. Electro 28 glanced at her, then at Chief before speaking. "Err... Miss Havishma was only briefing me on the mission ahead of us."
"She was? what's there to receive a briefing about? All there is to do, is to head to the Prime Hall, tell them reasons why our papers should be signed, and then give them time to make their decision, isn't that right Havishma?" He said, leaning towards her a bit.
She froze before she puts the last piece of what she was eating in her mouth. She then turned to face Chief. "... Yes."

"All I'm saying, is I don't care what we are going to do there, I just want to be in the Realm. That has always been one of my dreams. I want to breathe the air there," Percy stated.
Rory and Sox looked at him in disgust. "The question was what you think we headed to the Realm for, we didn't ask you to tell us your fantasies," Rory mocked. She turned to Storm 01. "What say you? Why do you think we are headed to the Realm?"
Storm 01 turned to her in shock, he wasn't listening to her and had no idea what they were talking about. He spat out the only words that came to his mouth. "Err... I don't know, call of duty?"
Rory sighed in disappointment and turned back to Percy. Sox switched position to sit next to Storm 01. "Are you okay?" She queried.
He nods. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine."
She noticed how he continues glancing in a certain direction and followed to see what he was looking at, or rather, who.
"Could you... give me a minute?... or more. I don't know how long I'll spend..."
"I didn't know you need my permission to do what you want," she smiled.
Storm 01 stood up and walked over to where the Rain Squad was. They all raised their heads to look at him upon his arrival.
"Jesselyn could..." he stopped. "I want to speak with you for a moment."
They all stared at him for a few moments before all the other squad members, except the silvered-haired guy, stood up and left. Storm 01 glared at him, but started speaking as he realized he wasn't retreating.
"Where do I even start?" He let out a rueful chuckle. "That day... at the sickbay, when you came to visit me and..." He stopped. "I was overwhelmed with anger. I didn't know what I was saying. I'm so, so sorry Jesselyn," he stopped and looked into her eyes.
She raised her brow at him. "Why'd you stop?"
"I have nothing left to say."
She laughed. "It's fine. I understand, and I forgive you... Because that's what friends do, forgive each other."
She smiled and pulled him in for a hug. He felt a great heap of load lifted from his chest. As he hugged her, he locked eyes with the silvered-haired man behind them.
"I knew you weren't speaking from the heart that day."
"I hope that's what everyone I spoke to thinks," Storm 01 thought to himself. He remembered what he said to Ishary.
He watched as the man behind them slipped his hands into his pocket, still staring at them.
"Are you going to introduce me to your, friend?"
Jesselyn pulled back and looked at the silvered-haired man. She laughed and tapped the man's shoulder.
"This is Cake Armi, Rain 01 my partner during missions."
Storm 01's eyes widen. "Your name is Cake?"
"You make fun of my name, Coco?" The man finally speaks.
"Sorry."
The spaceship landed at the port in The Realm. There weren't many people there, just a few officers and the working staff of the port. The logo of the Q.R.C. was all around the place, rather too much of it. The CEO of Quantum Realm Corp loved emphasizing what he owned, and the port was owned by him.
It was morning, as usual, the sun was up in the sky, but it remained very cold. That was the climatic condition of Winter Weir.
While everyone walked out of the ship normally, Percy ever so slowly descended his right foot onto the land. He let out a loud moan as his feet made one with the ground. He then inhaled and exhaled heavily, loud enough for everyone there to hear.
"My feet are on the sand of the Realm." He outstretched his hands and laughed frantically. "Woe to does who say I won't exchange air here..."
"Behave, Storm 05," Miss Havishma warned.
He realized the crowd he had invited and quickly stroll to join the others of his rank. A man in a black suit and sunglasses walked up to Chief.
"Morning sir. I was sent by the Prime to escort you to the Prime hall," he stated.
