Summary:

A reflection on how Martin Mystery feels after being "decommisioned" from the Center and his field operative job by M.O.M. A one shot story.

Location: Martin's Room, Torrington Academy, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada- 2:00 P.M.

Martin was lying in his bed. His Asian History teacher was out of school today due to fever, thus having no classes after he had his Math class a while ago. His head was on his pillow with his arms folded on his waist. The main difference with him today is that he had no U-Watch on his right wrist.

The Center had been temporarily decommisioned from work on M.O.M.'s orders since their systems did not detect any other paranormal or supernatural threats on the Earth. Martin had to surrender his U-Watch to M.O.M. for security reasons. Even though he did not object to M.O.M.'s decisions, he had other things in his mind.

"Why did M.O.M. have to temporarily disband the Center? I still have a sinking feeling that they are still strange things out there somewhere. If M.O.M. didn't take my U-Watch before the Center was closed, everything would be fine by now. Maybe I could do some paranormal snooping on my own for a while, perhaps."

Martin shifted around his bed, trying to find a comfortable spot while reflecting on his "decommisioned" status from the Center.

"You know one thing though. I do want to live a normal life like your average teenager growing up. Well, most teen guys go meet with girls, go to the malls, check out the local arcades, play sports or go to the beaches. On the other hand, my time as a Center field operative instilled a sort of pride inside me. I mean, it's like that it's my main duty to protect the world from any paranormal or supernatural entities alongside other Center field operatives. Man! I just don't know what to do. I'm confused. I'm just confused."

Suddenly, someone slammed the door open with a kick. When Martin got up from his bed, he saw Diana panting near the doorframe, as if she wanted to catch some air.

"What's wrong, Diana?"

"Martin!" responded Diana. "M.O.M. needs us back at the Center, double time!"

"But why the rush?" asked Martin. "I mean, M.O.M. ordered the Center to be temporarily disbanded, right?"

"Technically yes, but this is something different."

"Really?" Martin raised a brow in suspicion.

"Yea!" said Diana in excitement. "M.O.M. mentioned that Center intelligence had detected some new paranormal signals."

"From where?"

"I've heard that the signal's emitting in Asia. But we don't know where."

"Let's go!" Martin grabbed his keys from the desk near the door, went outside and locked it before he ran with Diana. On the way, he had a grin on his face, which caught Diana's attention.

"What are you smirking about, Martin Mystery?"

"You'll see, Diana." replied Martin. "You'll see."

"As last, I'm back in action. Can't wait to see who's on my paranormal scope today!"
