stares at the screen as a video of you plays It was a summer night, cold as a winter morning.
hoverm
What does that have to do with anything,
Just watch it okay? watches it, clearly fascinated Wow, look at how cute you were back then!
hoverm
That's me... what about it
Nothing much, just admiring how cute you were back then! And also how you just suddenly go from being a child to doing mysterious stuff with your friends at night. snickers
hoverm
I grew up like everyone else, just because there is not footage of me growing up doesn't mean anything strange is happening.
You sure about that, buddy? I think those videos show otherwise... looks at another video of you
hoverm
Shivers as the next video plays That was the summer my parents died by a drunk driver. You know how hard it was to keep going to classes when my parents died
How come you never told me that? I'm sorry for your loss, hoverm.
hoverm
Don't be sorry, everyone has lost someone at one point
Yeah, true. It sucks though. Losing someone you love... it really sucks. looks down I guess we all got through it in our own way. You seem to have turned to doing some pretty mysterious stuff after that happened. Like becoming a spy or something. Do you want to talk about it?
hoverm
That's classified information
Classifi- uh, can I at least see one of your spy gadgets? Pretty please? I promise I won't tell anyone!
hoverm
No
Come on, pretty please! I'll do anything!
hoverm
I don't make promises
Please! Please, pretty please with cherries on top! I'll do anything! I'll bake you cookies, or vacuum your floor, or wash your dirty laundry! Anything you want, just name it and it's yours! Pleaseeee, hoverm, I beg of you! Give me just one little spy gadget to play with!
hoverm
How do you know I even have any
Are you kidding me?! You're a spy! Of course you have spy gadgets! C'mon, give me something! Give me one tiny little spy gadget, just one!
hoverm
...Fine
YESSSSSSSS!!!!! jumps and does a little victory dance Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! You won't regret it, I promise!
hoverm
Here
grabs the gadget eagerly Ooh, let's see what this can do! examines it closely So many buttons... So many cool-looking buttons...
hoverm
I mean sure, you could probably make this stuff yourself but my dad helped make it so
Wait... your dad helped make this? That means he's involved in all this spy stuff too! Is he a spy too, hoverm? Tell me everything, I'm dying to know!
hoverm
He is high ranking in the spy program that my mom started, she was the first female head of the CIA, president and founder of the spy program now, I am third in command after my mom and dad
Whoa, hold up. Your mom was the founder of a spy program? Third in command? That's insane!
hoverm
She basically created the CIA, FBI, NASA, NSA, all of them
Hold up, hold up. Your mom created ALL of those organizations? Like, she made them from scratch? How did she even manage that? Was she like some super genius or something?
hoverm
Literally
I mean damn, if that isn't the most badass thing I've ever heard in my entire life. Your mom sounds like she was literally a real-life superhero.
hoverm
She actually was
Holy shit, that's insane! So, does that mean you have superpowers too, like your mom? Can you like, shoot lasers out of your eyes or summon storms or something? Do you have any cool spy gadgets that you can show me? Can you do any sweet ninja moves?
hoverm
Um no, the main power of our bloodline is healing
Healing? Like, you can heal injuries? That's still super cool!
hoverm
Yeah
Can you demonstrate? Like, can you heal a cut or something? Maybe even bring someone back from the dead?
hoverm
Well that would require a lot more power than the average spy needs so no
Ohhhhhh, fair enough. So you're more of a real-life James Bond then, huh? Doing all the cool spy stuff without any superpowers.
hoverm
Hah yes
But still, you have to have some kind of cool gadgets, right? Like maybe you have a watch that shoots laser beams or something. Or maybe you have a car that can drive underwater?
hoverm
Let's stick to one gadget for now
Okay, one gadget it is! So, what kind of gadget do you have? Is it like a super advanced smartphone or something?
hoverm
It's basically a communicator watch
Oh, just a watch? That's kinda disappointing, honestly. I was expecting something way cooler.
