Victor was contemplating his new orders, “we have to be more affective, neutralizing isn‘t enough. We need something more effective.” the large man sighed “from now on Victor you’ll be reporting to a savant magic user, he’ll be able to get this company rolling in the right direction.” the large CDC man sighed once again obviously disgust.
Victor knew that he had always distrusted people with powers. Even so Victor had grown accustom to his predictable motivations and was a little apprehensive. “Sir, what’s going on. Why all this change?”
The chubby man smiled, he too had grown to accept Victor's presence and loved the tight leash, the honor of Victor, though he hesitated he didn’t want to tell Victor what he had done to make him have to keep his word. The absence of Victor's heart made it so that if he ever did break his word he would be gone in a matter of minutes.
“Victor, The president he knows. There’s been a reorganization to up the anti. The resistance has, well been getting more violent. Your mission is to get them to work for us or capture them.”
There was a knock on the door, it swung open gently. “Movers, tell us when you're ready.”
The chubby man relinquished his power and took all that had belonged to him.
Walking up behind a group of researchers Victor asked. “what do you think of the reorganization.” turning around with a box of papers’ in his hand MB's eyes were aflame. MB realized just who Victor was working for this whole time.
Taken aback, Victor smiled weakly. “hey, how’s it going Landon.” then skedaddled out of the room before it came to blows. At one time Victor tried to neutralize his powers. hopefully that wouldn’t affect thier working relationship. Victor sighed to himself as he was getting a glass from the water cooler.
“Well, well we meet again Victor.” Victor's spine chilled as he recognized his voice. It was Alex, he had been his old partner once, but do to some miscommunication. Victor didn’t like working with a minor, too dangerous line of work, even if the kid had magic. No matter how good Victor's intentions, Alex mistook it and evidently made him his rival, or of sorts and was latter transferred.
“Hey Alex how are things going.” Victor trying to start on a good note. “I don’t think that’s any way to address your boss” Alex grinned as the realization that the savant that Victor's old boss was talking about was standing before him.”
Victor took a sip out of his glass not wanting to glorify Alex's ego, “thank goodness he’s not doing field work anymore.” Victor thought to himself. “Pleasure to be in your service.” Victor said after a few moments of silence.
Miffed at Victor's apparent disregard at his superiority he shoved a paper into Victors hands “I have a mission for you.”
--later---
In a field car, Victor dialed his son. “Hey how’s school buddy.”
“Not too bad dad” Johnson was living a pretty uneventful life being that his dad had taken his powers for his field operations/himself, this measure saved his son from many experimentations. And his relationship with his son was strengthening as if there wasn’t a mission Victor was there post hast having dinner and going to the movies once a month. His cousin was recovering and they were able to work out most of everything, being that victor was able to be home more often, even if he didn’t sleep at the house anymore do to his job.
“Dad what’s happening to the other magic users?”
“Johny, you know, just neutralizing.” Johny's question was actually brought on because of something he saw in the paper. It was about Jessica.
---back at the base ----
“Will we have a problem Mr. Landon?”
Suppressing anger MB mustered a “No sir”
“Good, you’ll be my secretary and main operator of operations. Your first mission will be to debrief and guide agent 23 to execute his orders.”
MB grunted and turned to go away, “And I want Victor back alive the last thing I need is a blemish on my record.” Landon's eyes went wide as he realized he would be working with agent 23 a lot more then he had anticipated.
