"Do you remember when we were like them?" she says, smiling. The team have just gone back up to school, leaving Stella and I alone in HQ.
"What, when we were innocent spies, thrown together with people we wouldn't normally speak to? Yeah, it was terrifying," I reply.
"What about when you first saw me?" she asks, a twinkle in her eye.
"I was star struck. Literally."
"Yeah? Really?"
"Of course!"
"Do you remember when we did that really complex mission?"
"Where you mucked up on the tech?"
I see her blush, and know that I've hit a sensitive spot.
"I wasn't qualified. Not like Tom is now."
"At least we didn't have to fight people like SKUL and KORPS."
She sighs. She really doesn't need reminding about what we've brought these once innocent kids into over the years.
"Yes. But think how much they've matured."
She's making excuses. I go to say something, but a message appears.
"Hamish," we say in unison, and the moment is lost.
