"It'll be soon, I promise.... Really? What happened to 'I can take care of myself'?.... Hey, I'm just kidding.... Yes, I miss you too.... Oh come on, you do.... Alright, see you soon!"

It was a strange sight - a woman lightly clad in a metal suit trying to appease a younger sibling over the phone while trudging though a corridor of a secret superhero agency. Alexanda hung up just as she reached the briefing room, finding Director King, as well as a few of her dinner companions from the night before already settled. When everybody was there, King began the briefing with visuals. Alexanda's respect grew for the agency as it went on. These people were serious. So, they were going to be teleported to a factory in Birmingham, where they had to find the one in charge so that they could shut the entire organization down. That seemed pretty straightforward currently, though, she might be wrong.

She flipped through the mobile device she had been given, and referred to the 'C.A.R.L Units' that had been mentioned. The image of a lone man, together with some details on him came up. She assumed that what she was seeing was a single unit. Every unit probably looked the same and shared similar abilities.

"Understood, Sir," was all she had to say in response as she clipped the mobile device to her belt.
