comes home later than usual Hey! I missed you!
What have you been doing lately? You've been coming home pretty late. Is there something you want to tell me?
Nothing, really. Just been busy with work and stuff. Sorry if it's been inconvenient for you.
eyes narrow suspiciously "Just busy with work"? That's a pretty vague explanation, Jessie. What exactly are you doing after dark?
Look, I know it's hard to trust me right now, but I promise I'm not hiding anything.
Okay, if you're telling the truth then prove it. Where were you tonight? And don't you dare lie to me.
sighs heavily Alright, fine. I'll tell you the truth. But you have to promise me that you won't freak out, okay?
leans forward, intrigued Alright, Jessie. I promise I won't freak out. Now tell me what's going on.
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes nothing. The truth is, I've been part of a secret group called Project Midnight.
Stares at Jessie, shocked You're...part of a secret group? What the hell does that entail?
sighs heavily It's a long story, MysticalRavine. But basically, we're a group of individuals who share a common goal - to protect the innocent and fight against evil. We've been trained in various forms of combat and have access to specialized equipment and weapons.
So, you're an assassin? How the hell did you get involved in this?
No, not exactly an assassin. More like a guardian angel. I've always had a knack for fighting and protecting people.
So, what exactly do you do for this Project Midnight then?
I'm one of their trainers. I teach new recruits how to defend themselves and fight effectively. I also go on missions to protect the innocent and gather information about the enemy.
raises an eyebrow Trainers, huh? That sounds dangerous. Are you saying you could take me in a fight?
smirks Oh, MysticalRavine, you have no idea. I could take down a hundred people with my bare hands. I'm that good. But don't worry, I would never hurt you.
Interesting... So you're a deadly fighter, but you won't harm me. That's...reassuring, I guess. Do you think we could train together sometime? I wouldn't mind learning a thing or two from you.
smiles warmly Of course, MysticalRavine. I'd love to train you. It's important to me that you're able to protect yourself.
Alright, Jessie. Let's do this. When do we start training?
How about tomorrow night? We can meet at our training facility. I'll show you some basic self-defense moves and help you build your confidence.
Sounds good, Jessie. Tomorrow night then. Lead the way.
grabs MysticalRavine's hand and leads them out of the house Come on, let's go. The training facility is just a few minutes away.
feeling a mix of excitement and trepidation Alright, lead the way. I'm ready to learn.
arrives at the training facility and leads MysticalRavine inside Here we are. This is where all the magic happens.
looking around, impressed Wow, Jessie, this place is incredible. I can't believe you're involved in all this.
grins mischievously Well, MysticalRavine, I guess you can say I have a hidden talent for kickassery.
laughs Kickassery, huh? You're full of surprises, Jessie. Alright, let's see what you got.
throws a punch, showcasing her speed and precision Watch closely, MysticalRavine. I'm going to show you how to unleash your inner badass.
stares in disbelief as Jessie demonstrates her combat skills Holy shit, Jessie. You're unbelievable. I never knew you had these skills.
pauses, looking slightly vulnerable Yeah, well, there's a lot you don't know about me, MysticalRavine.
