F•A•S•T//r.s.l.❣

I did my usual trek from the florist, throwing the bin bags into the bins outside on my way out. I placed the keys of the little store in my bag and plugged my earphones in, Fall Out Boy raging through them into my ears.

It was light still, but the sun had just came down and streetlights started to flicker on.

As I walked, my shadow was formed by the overhead lights, but that wasn't the main thing catching my attention. Headlights shone at least 100m from me, the car driving slowly. It was an electric car, as it was making no noise.

I turned a corner hurriedly, the car following. When I began to run, the car stopped- and I was celebrating before colliding with a hard body, sending me to the ground.

I looked up, pushing my glasses higher up my nose bridge. "P-Please don't hurt me- take my money..!"

"I'm not here to hurt you" the hard body had a voice- a male, British voice. I took the hand he was offering and allowed him to pull me up. "Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine" I brushed dust from my now stained jeans.

"Good." He spoke nonchalantly. "Now, we have to go somewhere"

"What-no!"

The voice speaking to me belonged to a brown haired man, who rolled his blue eyes to me. Swiftly, he pressed a cloth covered in chloroform to my face and no matter how much I struggled, I dropped into his arms in seconds.

I felt my surroundings the moment I came to my senses. A hand grabbed mine. "Not done yet"

The brunette- now in better lighting- looked down at me, a blonde girl beside him, taking notes. She smiled and looked at him, walking away.

Now that I looked properly at this man, he didn't seem too old. Early thirties maybe, seen by the faint stubble appearing on his chin.

"Need a hand up- oh, okay"

"I'm never ever taking your hand again" I swung my legs around. "Where am I?"

"F.A.S.T." He stated. "Federal Agency of Spy Tactics"

I frowned. "Is this a prank? I want to go home. Like, now"

"Shush, woman. Your parents sent you here for a confidence boost- and a better job" he gave me his hand to shake. "I'm David, your mentor"

"Athena" I answered. "So..what am I in for?"

"We're changing your identity completely since, from today, you are a F.A.S.T. spy" he said. "And you have a mission coming up. How exciting?"

"Taking down a drug dealer network? Escorting the Queen?!"

"No and hell no" he shook his head. "Learning how to swim"

I shook my head rapidly. "Hydrophobia"

"We'll deal with that, I have someone to help you with your phobias" he crossed his arms. "Ready?"

I laughed heartily. "Good luck trying to get me in a damn pool"

looks like my juggling skills are ok (kidding this is from my scenarios book, but obviously edited) #DoubleUpdateMonday 💖
