Mr. N pushed Liam's door open and leaned against the frame like he owned the air in the room.
"Follow me."
That was all he said.
Liam stood up without questioning it.
Behind him, Siegfreed followed too, his small steps sharp with anger, his cute feminine features scrunched into the most aggressive pout imaginable.
They walked through the hallway in silence.
Solomon eventually caught up, walking beside Mr. N. He glanced over his shoulder at Siegfreed… then looked back at Mr. N with visible concern.
He leaned closer and whispered under his breath.
"…Sir."
Mr. N didn't respond.
Solomon glanced back again.
Siegfreed was still glaring at everyone like he was seconds away from biting someone.
Solomon looked forward again.
"…What the hell is going on?"
Mr. N answered without even turning his head.
"New problem."
Solomon blinked.
"That's not an answer."
Mr. N shrugged slightly.
"He insists on following Liam."
Siegfreed immediately snapped.
"I can HEAR YOU."
Solomon rubbed his forehead.
As they entered Mr. N's office the 2nd half of his office was a small clinic that looked like a Nurse bay. It lead directly to the medical bay, there was Aspera's liutenants, Vera, Kage and most importantly Osprey.
"HEY OLD MAN!" Siegfreed shouted. "Why are you acting like you didn't send us on that insane mission?!"
He grabbed Liam's sleeve and yanked it up, exposing the empty fabric where his arm should have been.
"LOOK AT HIM! He's missing his entire arm!!"
The room went quiet.
Mr. N glanced at the sleeve.
Then back at Siegfreed.
"…Yes," he said calmly. "I noticed."
Siegfreed's eye twitched.
Mr. N sat down and looked up from the papers on his desk, his expression completely unchanged.
"So you're not going to control your pet. Liam?" he asked with a tired sigh.
Siegfreed's furious glare instantly melted into a flustered blush. His lips puffed out in a small pout.
"Pet…?" he mumbled to himself. "…maybe this N guy isn't so bad."
He froze.
WAIT.
NO.
HE ALMOST GOT LIAM KILLED.
Siegfreed's face snapped back into rage as he pointed straight at Mr. N.
Liam sighs "Not now Siegfreed, I'm going to undergo surgery to get my arm reattached dont run up my blood pressure."
Solomon quickly grabbed his tools. Solomon had creepy light pink hair.
Siegfreed folded their arms. "I'm watching"
Liam lies down on the hospital bed, he ends up asking Mr. N about his future role as an Elite Gaurd. What it means, how and when will he get his two Liutenants and more questions.
Mr. N's face slants as he's visibly annoyed, he can't be bothered on briefing. He had done it Soo many times.
Solomon checks his watch as he sees the capacity of the conference room.
"Elite Gaurds rank 9,8,5 and 4 are all ready, in the room sir, honestly we can probably just begin the meeting, that way we can brief Liam alongisde-"
And as Aspera enters the room sweating "Before you get mad sir, Rank 3 told me he's roughly 10 minutes away."
Mr. N yawned "I don't care, and we start when Osprey's awake."
Aspera whispered "There already arguing...."
Mr. N sighed as if this was the most exhausting information he had heard all day.
"They're Elite Guards," he muttered. "If they weren't arguing I'd assume they'd been replaced with robots."
Siegfreed leaned toward Liam and whispered loudly, mocking Mr. N.
"Wow. Your workplace sounds terrible."
Mr. N looked at Siegfreed not breaking eye contact.
......
Aspera looked at Siegfreed and then looked at Mr. N
'Is there like sexual tension here?'
Aspera then looked over at Ospreys lifeless body.
Aspera shuttered nervously hiding the tears deep inside her, showing slight vulnerability she shakes "Will he ever wake up aga--"
"BAHAHA" as MR. N slaps the ever living shit out of Osprey's sleeping face "Of course he will! He's my most reliable Elite Gaurd."
"I didn't give Osprey Rank 0 because he's my friend. I gave it to him because he was my trump card, a Sniper with no weakness, his strength and lethality are hailed all around the world. You guys don't know this but."
As the tone completely shifts Mr. N smiles, but "Osprey already defeated Elite Gaurd Rank 3 of the President before. I just need him to do it again."
Aspera wiped the slight tear that drained from her eye.
Liam's mind struggles to remember, he swore he's seen Osprey before. Somewhere in his mind, but he cannot remember.
Mr. N interjects, "But regardless Liam, I have a full briefing email to send you and your friend about your duties, your lieutenants, your rights, and what laws don't apply to you guys. What authority you hold over what militaries or police forces, alongside what pieces of land you guys are in charge of. Being a Elite Gaurd isn't just being strong, its about good public image."
"Almost like a superhero", Solomon whispered, using the scalpel to cut his fingernails.
Mr. N contd, "As we hide underground here, Half of America hates us because they think were trying to overthrow the government, but the other half supports us. They need us, they see that were fixing this country and were giving it something its never had in years.
"Hope" "Improvement" Unification of the entire continent under 1 name.
Islands, tens of islands in our name.
Hope and Power.
But for now lets get that arm fixed first.
