Chapter one
Harry smirked across the table at the young woman sitting opposite him. He had to admit to himself he'd done well, taking over as Arthur meant diving into the deep end and of course rebuilding the Kingsman from the foundations up.
He'd started recruiting immediately as you can imagine but it was a slow process. Starting with finding a new Merlin, as much as it pained him to replace one of his dearest friends. Since then Harry had devised a new rigorous assessment to whittle down prospective new agents.
Five new recruits had risen to the top of their respective groups and became the newest Kingsman agents: Kay, Tristan, Bedivere, Gawain and now sitting in front of him his newest addition Lancelot. He believed this young woman would make an excellent successor to Roxy and with a twinge of grief he admitted this woman would most likely make Roxy proud too.
"Welcome to the Kingsman Miss Bray" Harry said finally ending the silence in the room. Miss Bray smiled brightly back an air of quite triumph about her.
"Please Arthur call me Felicity or Lancelot at least God knows I've earned it!" Felicity replied her signature smirk never leaving her face. In the presence of her charming façade it was hard to believe that only hours ago she was holding a gun against his forehead.
His new Lancelot was indeed a formidable woman, coming out on top of all her competition consistently after every task. Keeping with tradition Harry had decided to have his recruits raise puppies only to pull the old blank in the gun 'now shoot the dog' trick. To his surprise Felicity, when commanded to shoot her handsome Golden Retriever Milo turned the gun on him and said confidently "It's a blank." Before pressing the gun to his forehead and pulling the trigger.
While Harry can certainly say without a shadow of a doubt Felicity was a wild card, he liked her brazenness and nerve. So, after a stern reminder that if she ever 'pointed a gun at him again' loaded or otherwise she would most certainly regret it, he offered her a place in the Kingsman as Lancelot.
Which brings us back to this very moment in time. As another silence seeped into the room Harry studied the newest Kingsman agent. The first thing Harry noticed about her was her striking eyes a brilliant forest green the left one rimmed with an amber hue. Theses eyes stared back at him doing their own analysis. He noticed her pale freckled skin a sharp contrast to her shock of auburn hair next. Although cut off by the table in her current seated position he knew from overseeing her assessment that she had medium to sturdy build and was it not for her lack of height Harry would dare say she was an all-rounder.
"I must say Arthur I'm excited to get started when's my first mission?" Felicity questioned her eyes sparking with excitement.
Harry gave a small laugh before replying "patience Lancelot it's a virtue you know?"
Harry noticed Lancelot's smirk slide back into place before she said, "I have been blessed with many virtues Arthur and I proud to say patience isn't one of them."
Hiding his smile Harry stood taking a pair of eye glasses from the table. Stepped around the table to where Agent Lancelot was now standing. He took a moment glance down at the tiny women hoping he's done as well as he believed, He reached out placing the glasses into her dainty waiting hand.
"Glad to have you on board Lancelot" Harry said thinking one last time of Roxy and with determination decided to himself his new agents would not suffer a similar fate.
"Thank you Arthur" came courteously from Felicity's smirking mouth.
