“That is a good question, Angel. I did wonder why a Prince who is so close to becoming King would want to join the Peacekeepers,” Air added. 

She smiled and allowed Angel to put his arm around her shoulder. The harpy was possibly the friendliest person she has ever met. He gave free hugs unlike most guys in the headquarters. Secretly the banshee wondered if the prince was a hugger too. It would be awesome to have two people she can hug all the time. 

“…oh was I talking out loud again? This is really awkward,” the pink haired woman exclaimed. She wasn’t even aware the siren had spoken. Her green eyes met Cerulean’s blue ones. “Why should I tell you that I want to hug you the way I hug Angel?” 

A huge blush crept into her cheeks as she realized what she blurted out moments ago. Was anyone else talking? Please ignore that comment. Please, please, please. She couldn’t hear anything other than her own racing heart. No wait. She needed to take back her words. Fast! Before Pye will invent something to keep her mouth shut permanently. 

“This is … oh gosh! This is so awkward! A girl shouldn’t be saying such things out loud. Not to a guy she hardly knows. It is almost as bad as trying to pick him up. No I mean swearing. Yes that’s right. Swearing and drinking alco… “ Her eyes fell on Bushi. 

“Alco-cola! That’s right. The new Coke is bad for you. It rots your teeth. I don’t know why they call it Alco-cola. Is it from Acapulco?” 

The television on the wall turned on even before the last word left Air's mouth. Brave was on air. Merida put down her bow and turned to look at the group coldly. Her voice was very different from the character from the actual film. “I hope my missing communications officer is not holding all of you up the way she is holding me up."

There was a deliberate pause before the mysterious person spoke again. "Air, Sim-R 2 has been booked. Please take team Moon there and come back immediately. I hope you remember what happens when you dawdle.”

The red head turned to look at Cerulean for a brief second. “Air will tell you who I am. I simply don’t have the time for chit chat. Sorry about that, your Highness.”

The last bit sounded like it was added in as an afterthought as though she felt the new recruit wasn't worth noticing. With that the screen went blank once more. Air was still staring for a moment. Before she realized she was late. No wonder Pye was so angry. They were supposed to contact … oh man! Hopefully it wasn’t too late. Coordinating with people from other countries was so difficult. 

“Yes. Erm… that was Pye, our head of intelligence, so … yeah follow me guys. We need to get there fast. China is waiting! Figuratively of course. Unless we are talking about personification. Well there is this anime called Power Hetalia.” 

Without waiting the communications officer bolted out of the room as she continued talking mostly to herself. She turned round and called to the group still in the room. Can’t the see that Pye doesn’t like to be kept waiting? Mia was the first to arrive at Sim-R2 so Air gave the older woman the card key. 

“Mia, you know the drill. The card has been programmed with the selection of simulations you requested. Good luck! I have got to go.”
