A/N: You may be wondering why I'm starting another story while I have my Percy Jackson one to work on? Well, I can't finish the next chapter of that story until you readers vote on who you think Mary should be with. This has been sitting around for a while, and I've just had more ideas with this.
Don't expect updates often, I have High School, so they will be random.
Chapter 1: New BRITISH Agent
The building was large, no doubt about that. It made her feel like an ant. But this couldn't be the right place. What kind of spy organization puts their acronym right on the side of the building?
Looking down at the notice she had received, she was forced to conclude that this building was indeed the place she was trying to find. Feeling a bit intimidated, she put the notice back in her pocket and walked into the building.
The inside was quite spacious and well decorated. One of the electronic boards showed the schedule for paranormal training. The building was high tech. That she liked.
A bit deeper into the building, in a hallway, 4 teens were talking.
"I heard we're getting new agent and it's a girl." Gerti reported
"Great! This place needs more girls. We'll probably end up friends" Carmen said gleefully.
"It would be nice to have a new friend." Juni said.
While they were talking the very girl they were discussing rounded the corner.
Carmen turned towards the sound of approaching footsteps. Seeing a girl she didn't know, she walked up to her.
"Hi! You must be the new agent we've been hearing about! I'm Carmen Cortez!" Carmen said enthusiastically, sticking her hand out.
The girl took Carmen's outstretched hand, "Hello. I'm Marie Diggory."
While Marie was speaking with Carmen, Gary was looking at her. She had ginger hair that reached her waist. It was currently tied up in a high ponytail with a few pieces left to frame her face.
Carmen strode over with the girl, interrupting Gary's thoughts.
"This is my younger brother, Juni."
"The one who shut down Floop and Minion? Pleased to meet you, I'm Marie Diggory."
Juni blushed at bit when she mentioned Game Over.
"Yes..But I had help from my family and friends."
"No one can do everything alone. Even the greatest spy needs help at some point."
"Right. Marie, this is Gerti Giggles." Carmen said, introducing the blonde.
"Hi. I'm Gerti and that idiot over there is my older brother." Gerti sighed.
"I'm Gary. Gary Giggles." He said, using the voice he usually reserved for speaking to Carmen.
Marie smiled at him, "Nice to meet you." She then proceeded to glance at her watch. "I'm sorry, but I have a meeting with the director. It was nice meeting all of you!" She said, walking down the path she had been previously taking before Carmen caused a detour.
Marie carefully knocked at the door of the directors office. When she heard he invitation to enter, she walked in and closed the door behind her.
"I hope you feel alright with these surroundings? I know that this branch, is a bit different from the O.S.S branch in Britain." The director asked, trying to make sure that Marie was comfortable in the new setting and would be able to work to her highest potential while she was here.
"Yes, sir. I enjoy how high tech this place is. I've already met the others whom with I'll be working, and they all seem very nice." She smiled, thinking that out of all of them Gary did seem the nicest.
"That's good. We'll give you some time to adjust before we start sending you out on higher level missions. That is all. The O.S.S is happy to have you Marie."
Knowing that was the signal for her to leave, Marie nodded and left the office. Walking back down the hallway she began to think about the missions she might possibly be given. Taking a left, she opened the door of her office and stepped inside.
The office was plain, but that could be fixed easily. Sitting in the black leather swivel chair, she pushed on the power of the computer in front of her.
Booting up the computer scanned her face and eyes and then asked for voice recognition. Once the security procedures were complete the computer showed the J.O.S.S database. Typing in the names of her new friends into the database she sat back and waited for the files to appear on the monitor.
No, she wasn't a creep. She just needed to know about the people she would be doing missions with. Plus, she was a bit curious about Gary.
The first file that came up was Carmen's. Reading it, Marie smiled. She had saved her parents from Minion and Floop before she was even a member of the J.O.S.S. She would be a great asset on a mission. Knowing that she worked with her brother, Marie pulled up Juni's file. It held the same information about defeating Floop and Minion. He also created the bug gadget, R.A.L.F. That was good, but when she had talked to him before, he had seemed a little nervous. Marie was still happy with his abilities though.
Happy with the Cortez's files, she pulled up Gerti's. Gerti had flying pigtails and a special affinity for gadgets. The pigtails would be quite handy in battle and for retrieving items in high places. She could also upgrade gadgets to be used for a specific mission. Pleased with Gerti's file, Marie clicked open Gary's file.
Well, it was a bit odd. She got that he was a flirt and thought he was better than anyone else. He was a good agent though. He had an odd ability to spout off rules about good spies at exactly the right moment. If he somehow memorized all of those, he most likely tries to follow them.
None of them look like they would ruin a mission. They would be all be a great help.
Suddenly, her office door opened and there stood Carmen.
"You want to eat lunch with us, Marie?"
"Huh…" Marie looked at the clock that signaled 12pm. She had been so occupied she had lost track of time.
"Oh! Sure, Carmen. I just lost track of time." Marie grabbed her bag and slung it across her body.
She exited her office with Carmen and began to walk with her.
"What level are you, Marie?"
'Oh, level 1. I got it when one mission went dangerously wrong, yet I still completed it."
"You were an agent before you came here?"
"Yes. It's the British branch of the O.S.S."
"Have any favorite gadgets?"
"Just the ones everyone else has, the glasses and watches. They're basic but are also really quite useful."
Reaching the destination, which was outside, Marie noticed that the others were already there.
"Sorry we're late."
"Eh. It's alright," said Gerti.
Marie took a seat in-between Carmen and Gerti, and across from Gary.
"Why don't you tell us about yourself, we don't know anything about you besides your name," Juni said.
"Well...It really depends on what you want to know...I guess I can tell you a few things…My birthday's October 30th. My favorite holiday is Halloween. My favorite color is dark blue. I love vanilla…"
"Favorite thing to receive as a gift?" No doubt about who said that.
"I've never really thought about that. It depends on the holiday. For Valentines day I love roses and chocolate. On Halloween, I love candy. For Christmas and my birthday, anything but clothes is fine. I'm not picky as long as the gift is practical."
"What about your background?" Gerti asked.
"Hmm...There not really anything there. I mean, besides the fact that I'm British, nothing's interesting."
Marie glanced at her watch, noticing that it was around 1:30. Since there wasn't really much else to do she might as well keep talking.
"I don't really know what else to tell you…."
"Done any good missions as a level 1?" Carmen asked, as she was still level 2 and was curious.
"Yes I have and I've met some very interesting people. As you know, some missions remain classified even after they are completed. I'll tell you about the ones that aren't classified. There once was a very odd one about a pen that had poisonous ink it had to be kept safe from an evil clown. Everyone's worst fear, evil clowns, or maybe it's just clowns… Ah well.. Many missions are routine, but sometimes you just get really odd ones…"
"Who do you usually do missions with?" Asked Juni.
"I usually choose my partner based on what skills the mission requires. Sometimes my partner is chosen for me, sometimes I am assigned to someone, and sometimes missions are done alone."
While Marie was talking Gary was "analyzing" her. She wasn't like the girls he usually flirted with and went after. She didn't have a large chest, her hips and butt weren't big either. Her whole body was athletic, not curvy at all. Why was he even trying to get her to like him? He thought about it, and came to the conclusion that he was trying to get her to like him "because he can" that and the fact that he wanted to make Carmen jealous.
She was indeed interesting though, that much was clear. She wouldn't be a hindrance on any mission, unlike Juni. Of course, since they were the same age they'd be doing missions together. He'd be able to learn more about her that way.
By that time, it was 3:30 and as no one had been called for mission briefing there was no reason to be there anymore. It was time to go home.
Marie was the first to notice the time and stood up.
"Well it's 3:30. There's no reason to be here anymore. I'm heading ! It was nice taking to you!" She collected her things and gave a last wave over he shoulder to the group and walked away.
A/N: And there's chapter one! I'm sorry it isn't at least 2,000 words, but it was 30pgs in my smaller notebook and it works better to end it there!
About the ages, this is supposed to be based between right at the beginning of SK2, so I'm not sure what the actual ages are in the movie, so:
Gary, Carmen, Marie: 15-16 range (I haven't decided exact ages yet.)
Juni and Gerti 13-14 range (Are Juni and Gerti two years younger than Gary and Carmen?)
