Ep.8: Stone cold.

11:37 Iris' Headquarters.

Iris: Alright so all we need is one more member then we'll be able to get started on our new contracts.

Vauban: Alright then who do you have in mind?

Kai: Please do tell.

Iris: This Is Cynthia we'll have to track her down and make her an offer she can't refuse.

Vauban: What makes her this Cynthia chick so special?

Iris: Well she specializes in shadow ops and all that and well I just have a feeling that we'll need her stone cold personality to help us grow.

Kai: (sarcastic) Another stone cold killer? Perfect.

Vauban: Quit Bitching about everything Kai just do as your told. You complain way too much.

Chiyo barges in.

Chiyo: Excuse me Iris mind telling me why the guy who killed Minakami is back in the living flesh? What were you thinking.

Iris: (firmly) Listen Chiyo I don't go around telling you how to do your job so please don't tell me how to do mine.

Chiyo: (angrily) I'm not telling you how to do your job, Iris. But bringing Vauban back into a physical body is a risky move. He's caused too much trouble in the past, and we don't know if he can be trusted.

Vauban: (stepping forward) I assure you, Chiyo, that I have no intention of causing any trouble. My objectives align with Iris and the team, and I will do everything in my power to help us achieve success.

Kai: (skeptical) How can we trust you, Vauban, after everything that you've done in the past? You have a history of being manipulative and dangerous.

Iris: (firmly) Look, we all have our pasts, but we have to move forward. Vauban has been a valuable ally to us, and he's helped us on numerous missions. I believe that he can continue to do so, as long as we keep a close eye on him.

Chiyo: (sighing) Fine. But if anything goes wrong, I won't hesitate to take action.

Vauban: (nodding) Understood, Chiyo. And I promise that I won't let you down.

Kai: (resigned) Fine. Let's focus on recruiting this Cynthia, and leave the past in the past.

With that, the team set off on their mission to recruit Cynthia, focusing on the goals ahead rather than the challenges behind them. For they knew that with unity and purpose, they could overcome any obstacle. And no matter what the future held, they were determined to face it with courage and strength.

Vauban: (talking to Iris alone) I don't think they trust us.

Iris: I really don't care what they think. If they try anything I won't hesitate to defend myself.

Vauban: I hear you. But I think I'm more of a target than you. I'll just retaliate if they try something can fight back and end up hurting someone then they won't ever trust me.

Iris: (nodding) You're right, Vauban. We need to be careful not to give them any reason to doubt us. And if they do try anything, we'll have to be prepared to defend ourselves without causing unnecessary harm.

Vauban: (smiling) I knew I could count on you, Iris. Together, we can overcome any obstacle.

Iris: (smiling back) Absolutely. And with the team at our side, I know that we can accomplish amazing things.

With renewed determination, Iris and Vauban continued on their path, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. For they knew that with each other's guidance and support, they were an unstoppable force, capable of achieving greatness and making the world a better place.

Iris: Look it's Cynthia.

Cynthia: (approaching the team) What do you want from me?

Iris: Cynthia, we've been following your work and we believe that you have the skills and expertise we need for our upcoming missions.

Cynthia: (skeptical) What kind of missions?

Iris: (confidently) The kind that require stealth, precision, and a willingness to get your hands dirty. We're building a team of specialists, and we'd like you to be a part of it.

Cynthia: (intrigued) Go on.

Iris: Look, we know that you're a freelancer, and that you prefer to work alone. But we also know that you've been looking for a bigger challenge, something that will test your limits and push you to the next level. That's why we're offering you a spot on our team.

Cynthia: (pausing) What's in it for me?

Iris: (smiling) We're offering a generous salary, state-of-the-art equipment, and the chance to work with some of the most talented people in the field. Plus, you'll be making a real difference in the world, helping us fight against some of the biggest threats out there.

Cynthia: (considering) Alright, I'm in. But don't expect me to hold back.

Iris: (laughing) We wouldn't have it any other way. Welcome to the team, Cynthia.

With that, the team had found its newest member, and they were now ready to take on their newest challenges. For they knew that with Cynthia's skills and experience, they were even stronger and more unstoppable than before. And no matter what lay ahead, they were confident that together, they could overcome any obstacle and triumph over any challenge.
