A/N:
This is basically my first Kingsman fanfiction, and I am only familiar with the movie and information posted online. I hope this fic will be something other fans out there like and find interesting!
Since I am new to this fandom in particular, I clearly don't know everything. If I haven't gotten some of the information on track, the fault is mine, I also tried to not to make it all similar to the original, I tried making a storyline that was more my own further out by the ending.
Hope I caught your attention with this story! More chapters to come if you want to read further into my story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingsman or the characters, only my own OC's.
The air was thick; adrenalin was coursing through his body, making him feel everything he didn't when he previously had his nice little visit with the Crown PrincessTilde of Sweden. It all occurred to him now. The doomsday prep ready to launch and kill every other human kind out in the world was over. He had shot, killed and murdered plenty of people after his upgrade in The Kingsman Service. But today was the heaviest, most mind-blowing day of Eggsy's twenty-year old life. He couldn't even stand properly as he walked out of the cell, leaving the Princess behind as he sluggishly dragged himself through the hall, placing his hand up against the wall for support as he went. The nerd glasses, which he held in his other hand, were now a little bit damaged. A small crack on one of the lenses were noticeable, it was a shame really. Even if wearing those stupid glasses weren't exactly his favourite part of being an agent.
At last Eggsy came in sight much to Merlin's concern, as he was observing the areas around him from the private jet.
''How are you, champ?'' The Scottish man was sitting in his chair in front of the computers and largely important data. His hands were folded in his lap, and by the look of it he knew what was up.
''I just want to get the fuck out of here.'' Eggsy made an entrance as he plopped down in one of the seats, tiredly closing his eyes; moving his hand up to cover his face.
Merlin pushed his glasses up from the bridge of his nose as they had sunk down. ''Very well, home it is then.'' He stood up and gave Eggsy a firm pat on the shoulder as he made his way past him. ''You did good, boy.''
He stopped as he reached the cockpit, but didn't turn around as he spoke in wise words, as he would tend to do. ''He would've been proud of what you accomplished today.''
They landed in London, in the garden by the headquarters of the Kingsman Service.
It was quiet as they entered the ridiculously large house. The feel to it was rather different. Maybe things had changed. At least that was Eggsy's first thought on being back in the game. He never imagined walking on the floorboards of the Secret Service ever again, as he failed his last test. Fate was definitely paying him up on a good deed.
''Glad to be back I see?'' Merlin's voice was a bit faint behind him as he closed the door shut, caring his important things with him in his briefcase.
''I have to admit, it's pretty fucking sick to be back.'' He turned his head and smiled, giving his response back to Merlin.
He just shook his head, due to Eggsy's horrible choice of words. ''You really are something huh, Eggsy.'' Merlin walked ahead of him, as the young boy followed behind.
''Now, let's get you sorted.''
The day quickly went by and it was now evening, the last beams of sun were coming through the window giving off a red-yellowish glow. Eggsy was given a room of his own to stay in, as long as he was a part of the Service and participated in activities he was told to do.
He walked around, taking it all in.
''This is really happening. You get to be a bloody agent. Go on missions, get sick weapons, shoot people and stuff!'' These thoughts had been wandering through his mind all day, and it didn't seem like they would stop any second soon.
Suddenly a few knocks were heard right on the outside of his bedroom door.
''Yeah?'' He stood up slowly, wondering what kind of person that would be standing on the other side; there wasn't anyone in particular he had been seen around today.
Knock knock.
Again, there was a rapid sound of someone wanting to enter.
He took a hold of the door handle, and carefully pushed it down as he swung the door open with force not sure if there would be an enemy he could be facing right at that moment. If so, he would be fucked. No gun or weapon was near for him to use. Way to go on getting accepted into this Service in the first place Eggsy he told himself, sarcastically.
His eyes widened and his face was filled with relief as he saw the person standing before him was not a cold hearted murderer, but his good friend Roxy.
''Eggsy, you made it!'' She exclaimed, and went forward to hug him.
He was caught off guard and awkwardly hugged her back. ''Course I did, Roxy.''
She let go and playfully hit him in the arm. ''It's Lancelot, you prick.''
''Gotten tougher, have ya?'' He leaned against the doorframe, crossing his arms in front of his chest as he had a smirk placed on his face.
She shook her head and chuckled. ''Wouldn't expect a different point of view from you, Eggsy.''
He moved his hand up and coughed in an obvious manner. ''Appreciate it if you called me Galahad from now on, missy.''
Her eyes rolled as she blew his comment off, keeping silent. ''Come on, Merlin wanted us to be present in the lab. He told there would be important news.'' Her gaze drifted off him as she turned around, and walked down the hall where she'd previously come from. Her shoes were heard making a clicking sound while making her way towards the lab.
Eggsy closed the door behind him, and hurriedly followed Roxy.
''Lancelot… Galahad.''
Merlin was an excellent observer. He could always feel the presence of a person or tell when someone entered a room where he was present himself. It may have been his many years of work as a Kingsman agent…Those days were over now, and Eggsy was slightly worried he would only see the walls of the Kingsman headquarters and labs for the rest of his life rather than being out in the field.
''As you may know I gathered you here today for a reason.'' He was busy writing something down on the computer, Eggsy took notice of this.
They walked further into the room and Roxy sat down in a high chair with a tall metal table. Eggsy, being as noisy as he was, walked up close to Merlin and caught some of the words written on the screen.
Preparation. New recruits. Leading role.
-Agent North.
This caught his attention. Who was North?
Eggsy's eyes were printed on the screen, and it seemed to have caught Merlin's attention. He pressed a button and made the screen go black. He turned around to face them; but Eggsy was already out of his sight, walking around like nothing happened.
Merlin took his glasses off and got a handkerchief out of his left chest pocket. He cleaned the glass and brought it up into the lighting focusing on the particles.
''Why you got us here, mate?'' Eggsy was an impatient human being and had no time to waist on silent treatment from the man sitting upon them.
Merlin placed his glasses back where they belonged, and put the handkerchief back into his pocket. Taking his time settling into the current situation.
''Patience, Galahad.''…
A few seconds passed before he stood up, and continued.
… ''After Harry passed along-'' He started, letting his hands come together and rest behind his back. His posture was straight, making him appear subtler.
''-We found orders from him, what to expect if his death were to occur. His last demands were to get hold of a new agent. This is a marine- highly qualified agent that spent years developing a good fate for the Secret agencies around the world. ''
Eggsy and Roxy were both eagerly listening, these news were shockingly surprising.
''-And I would appreciate if you two didn't go against this decision.'' His words were precise and stern. ''We are getting new recruits at any given time these couple of days. I would appreciate grown up behaviour, and team work.'' His eyes rested on Eggsy, making the point more relevant to him.
''Any questions?''
Roxy raised an eyebrow at him, and opened up her mouth to speak. ''Merlin, who is this new secret agent?''
He took a few steps closer towards them; his face still deadly serious.
''To be honest, we don't know the gender of the agent. The only information we've been given is-'' He picked up his beloved clipboard that was lying underneath the metal table in a drawer, the drawer was not open of course, but held closed by a secret code.
Merlin read up the information:
Agent: North.
Age: 25.
Gender: Unknown.
Country: Unknown.
Description: Dark haired Caucasian, brown eyes, athletic build.
Has a degree in combat skills, training of recruits and computer filed data.
After he was done he placed the clipboard onto the metal table, with force. Leaving the sound of the board as an echo into the room as they all kept quiet.
Eggsy had no idea why, but he suddenly developed the feeling of guilt. All that information was the sound of a very good agent that didn't take no for an answer, and would get accepted anywhere. He was suddenly aware of Merlin's danger in this position. The unknown agent had all the abilities and education that Merlin had, heck the agent even seemed to have good appearance in the work he or she did. Not someone who got fired after a day or two of work.
Roxy suddenly broke the silence. ''The unknown agent won't take your position though, right?'' There was a weak little twist in her voice as she ended her sentence.
When he didn't answer, she asked again. ''Right…?''
Merlin was taken aback from the question asked by her. He picked up his clipboard and turned around, not showing any affection towards them; just let his face seem ice cold, as it would appear sometimes when he tried to keep it all-professional.
''I will see the two of you tomorrow, sharp at 7am for the new recruiting.'' He told them, and sat down in his chair once again, finding some paper work and a pen.
''-Meeting dismissed.''
