Chapter 1: "Easy start…"
The sound of birds singing from a nearby tree was the first thing they managed to hear from their respective rooms before waking up. For Delilah Devonshire and Julius Chevalier, this was just another day at the academy.
They both got up in order to start their day. They brushed their teeth, changed their clothes and did everything they'd do on a normal day, for that was all this day was…Just another normal day.
Delilah exited her room in direction to the kitchen to eat breakfast. It was in that moment that the feeling of two hands blocking her eyes reached her soft sensitive skin.
"Guess who…" A voice from behind her whispered with a funny tone.
"There's only one person that would do a 'guess who' at this hour" She said with a smile before declaring "…Julius"
"Hey, you're good" He said while placing his hands on her shoulders.
Delilah grinned and wrapped her left arm around her partner's neck "Nah, you're just easy"
Julius replied with a smile.
"Want to eat breakfast?" Delilah asked.
"Sure…"
The duo walked down the corridor with their arms wrapped around each other until they reached the kitchen.
They both sat down around the table, exchanging words while peacefully starting to eat their breakfast. This simple reunion was quiet special though, given that it was the first time in a week the duo had the chance to be alone.
"Hey Dee…" Julius said with a slightly shaky voice.
"Yes"
"Uhm, I was wondering…" A chill sensation ran through his spine "Do you have something planned for tomorrow night?"
"Nothing besides sleeping…Why?" His beautiful partner asked with a little curiosity.
"It's just that, I wanted to know if you would like to…" Julius voice started to acquire a nervous and vaguely erratic tone "Go out with me or something"
Delilah's face went slightly red after that proposal "Oh, well I…"
"Hey, sorry to interrupt guys" Al said as he stepped into the kitchen "But we have like a serious assignment for you man, so you better hurry up" he finished before quickly returning to his office.
"Good morning to you too Al…" Julius said sarcastically, while feeling a little frustrated as well.
"Let's just go check it out" Delilah said to her partner while getting up and starting to walk to Al's office.
Julius quickly followed her, but not before grabbing a small piece of beacon from the table to eat on the way.
"Ok, so who's this time, Dr. Dismay, Mrs. Deeds?" Delilah inquired while entering Al's office.
"Ice perhaps?" Julius cut in before getting a small hit from Delilah's elbow "What?"
"Not this time…" Scarlet said as she entered the room.
"All right kittens, listen…" A flat T.V screen didn't waste time to reveal itself next to them.
"Yesterday, a unique piece of computer hardware was stolen from here:" She said while the image of a large office building appeared on the screen "The Arkham research facility, a leader in the computer industry"
Scarlet continued the briefing "Luckily the piece stolen from their research lab was just the prototype" She explained "The completed version is still inside the facility, but we know it won't stay there for long"
Delilah inquisitively lifted an eyebrow "What makes this piece of hardware so special?"
It was just at the end of her question that the image of the piece itself manifested on the T.V.
"The piece itself is harmless" Explained Al "However, if combined with a wisely assembled computer system, it could remotely overdrive the safety mechanism of every single ballistic missile around globe"
"Creating a nuclear holocaust…" Julius finished.
"Exactly man…"
The T.V. became inactive and immediately withdrew out of sight.
"So, your mission is to make sure nobody steals the completed version" Al commanded to the duo "Or we'll be needing like, a lot of sun screen"
Both agents nodded their heads, leaving clear that they understood their assignment.
"All right, let's get you geared up then" Al declared as they mobilized to the lab to check the mission's gadgets.
"Ok sugar, for this mission we got something special for you" Scarlet commented as she took out what appeared to be a normal digital watch.
"This wrist watch has an incorporated micro-dart with enough C-4 explosive to make a hole on a 5 inches steel door"
Delilah quickly grabbed the watch and put it on "You wouldn't happen to have it in grey right?" She joked with a grin.
"After you launch the dart, you can use the watch to remotely detonate it" Explained Scarlet.
While Scarlet explained the detonation procedure, Julius inquisitively looked at the lab's table and picked with curiosity a pen "And this?"
Scarlet removed the pen from Julius fingers and subsequently pressed the back side of it while aiming at a gall cup.
A red beam was rapidly shot out of the head of the pen, turning the glass cup into a pile of flaming liquid.
"Particle laser pen" Scarlet said while giving the pen back to Julius "Never leave home without it"
"And for the grand finale" The voice of Al said from behind the team while a slight beep noise coming from the front yard was heard.
"Here guys" Al said while throwing a key to the duo "Try to bring it in one piece"
Dee and Jay quickly exited the lab in a rush to admire the present that awaited them on the front yard.
"1973 Barracuda, third generation" Scarlet graciously explained with a smile as the two agents admired the incredible car in front of them.
It was of a deep black, with a silver line on each side and two on the haul, and by the look of the muffler, it had an incorporated nitro boost.
"I'm driving!!!" Julius yelled, taking the key away from Delilah.
"Just try not to crash, ok?" She said sarcastically while entering the car along with her partner.
"What Dee, Don't you trust me?" He replied with a smirk to his partner while inserting the key and starting to revolutionize the engine.
"Remember guys, your primary mission is to stop whoever is after this hardware" Al warned them from the window of the car "We have concluded that another attempt to steal the real piece will be effectuated tonight, so be like really careful man, we are counting on you"
Delilah and Julius nodded, and instantly left the academy at high speed…
This was just another normal assignment on another normal day…Or at least, that's how things started…
