I don't own the Modifyers, they belong to Chris Reccardi and Lynne Naylor, but I do own Zero. Feel free as always to leave a comment.
"Yes the hobo" said Katz "he'll be stay in your dorm until we can get one prepared for him."
"But..." she started to object.
"It's either that or suspension" He said.
Xero just gave a sigh of defeat. As Zero and her left Katz office Xero stayed a few steps ahead not wanting to be affiliated with him, choosing not to say a word him either.
"And the bathroom is over there" She said pointing to a room in the corner of the dorm. "You might want to wash up" she said more as a demanded then an option "you smell like milk if it was a week old."
Zero rolled his eyes at her comment.
"You'll be needing these" She said handing him some clean clothing and condiments in a ziplock bag.
"Thanks" he said.
Zero soon went into the bathroom and washing way years of dirt from himself, washing away who he was, hoping whom he could be is much better.
Xero thought to herself about the situation. 'This is goings to be torture, having to babysit the new recruit, they aren't usually this old. Now even a hobo can be an agent without much basic training.'
Just then Mole entered the room. "Hi Xero, I'm back and the eye is safely delivered.
"Hey Mole" she greeted, as she wondered how am I going to break this news to him.
"Everything go well with Katz?" He asked, already knowing the answer.
"Super" she said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
Mole turned his head to the sound of running water in the bathroom. "Who's in their?"
"Katz gave me a new assignment, no more working with Baron Vain" she said.
"Well I just hope your new assignment doesn't involve a new superhuman shark partner" he said jokingly.
"Kind off" she said to Mole's surprise.
Zero looked at his new attire, like the other male agents he had passed he now wore, a tux, a bow tie, black slacks, a white button up shirt and a silver pocket watch. He had brushed his messy hair to the side and brushed his teeth until they were properly white. He looked in the mirror again, this time standing upright, and he looked and felt great.
Unlike the other agents though, he didn't care about wearing the overcoat, choosing to wear my trench coat again, of course after it receives a good washing.
'Tomorrow I'll work on an new and improved cold gun and perhaps move onto another project I have' he thought to himself. 'Time to introduce the world and agent Xero, to agent Zero.
"Katz is pairing us up with a hobo because my cover was blown" Xero said to Mole, trying to explain to him why there is someone in the bathroom.
"Xero, I told you not to lose your ring, now look at what happened, i'm surprised Katz didn't suspended you!" He said frustrated as he started to lecture her again.
"And that's why I have to train the new guy" she reminded him.
They both noticed as the doorknob to the bathroom started to turn, and Zero stepped out and looking like a completely different person then the one Xero had seen.
'He no longer smells of old milk and more of pumpkin pie' Xero thought 'and with all that dirt off his face he has more of a child look, as though he was looking at the world in a new light.'
"Hello agent..." he greeted waiting for her to say her name.
"Xero" she said, still confused on how to feel about his new appearance. 'Perhaps we could be friends' she thought.
Mole came up to him to introduce himself "Hello i'm Mole" he greeted.
"Hello" he said again " I am agent Zero."
'So that's his name. Sounds similar to mines' Xero thought.
She was still thinking whether Zero and her could be friends she didn't notice until it was to late what Mole said "So you're the hobo Xero was talking about?"
He turned to her and asked "You called me a hobo?"
"No" Xero said in denial "I would never call you a hobo. Mole must be malfunctioning." She said as she quickly scooted Mole away, before he could say anything else.
