~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHAPTER 1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mikey's voice woke up a soundly sleeping Christina. "Hey you, get up. Time to start training. For real this time." He lightly shook her shoulder to rouse her further. She finally responded with a sleepy moan. "..nnn..wha..?" Her eyes barely opening. "OK let's try this again. Get up. Time to train. Now!" He pulled her up to a sitting position. "OW! OK OK dang, you could've just asked me nicely." Mikey shook his head and left her to get ready. Sitting in the training room she finally walked in wearing her usual outfit. A pair of jean shorts with a yellow tank top and a pair of hiking boots. Her long blonde hair was kept up in a braid; her bangs just barely above her eyes. Her bright blue-green eyes smiled at him. "Ready to go." "'Bout time. Now get in the simulator." He motioned to a room with a large glass window to monitor her progress. The session was on a much harder difficulty than what she was normally used to. After an hour she was too tired to complete it and ended the session early. Mikey wrote down her progress in her file. "Girl, how do you ever expect to move up in this place if you don't push yourself harder all the time?"
"Look, Mikey, I have been pushing myself but you put that thing on some kind of superhuman level to defeat." She scowled at the look from him. Then went to the shower room to clean up. Her written tests would be next.
Finally training was complete and her score was in. Subject: Christina Kay Campbell Age: 17 Height: 5'3" Weight: 115 Ethnic: Irish/British/Indian
Gymnastics: 100% Weights: 100% 3 Mile run: 16 min (perfect) 500 yd Swim: 100% Written Exam (final): 85% Notes: Christina has improved greatly and shows a lot of enthusiasm for the job. She is ready and willing to learn and doesn't let things get her down easily. She works well with her peers and they seem to respect her as well. She has the potential to become a leader but she has not shown any motivation in this area. I have spoken to her on this and we have agreed to work on it more. Her personal studies however are lacking, though they are the only things lacking. The tutors that have been assigned to her say that she does well until the final test, her nervousness and lack of concentration keep her from excelling in this area. Her martial arts need some improvement as well. Her next assignment should help her out in this area greatly. I believe that she is ready for a solo mission, but with backup ready to assist her if needs be.

Mikey read the paper once more before putting a copy of it in Christina's file. He called in Esmerelda, another student just a little higher in rank than Christina. Esmerelda walked in and took a seat on the leather couch in his office. "You called?" She asked, putting on one of her priceless smiles. Mikey couldn't help but smile back at her. He admired her beauty and her outgoingness towards people. "Yeah I did. I need you to be a backup for Christina."
Esmerelda was surprised. Mikey, putting little Christina on a solo mission? "Umm. Don't you think this is a little early? I mean, yeah she's good an' all but she's still green in the simulator."
Mikey smiled again. "I know this, and that is one of the main reasons I want to put her out there. She needs the real thing to progress not a simulator. She does better when it's not pretend to her." Mikey pulled out her record and started to flip through the pages to find her exercise sheet. He began to point out to Esmerelda where Christina had dine exceptionally well in one instance where she was put on a simple street mission with Blain and then another where she was put on the same mission only in the simulator; she did not do nearly as well in that case. He pointed out several other similar instances. Esmerelda began to see his point. She nodded at last when he put the folder away in the Guardians cabinet. After a short time she finally spoke. "Alright then, let me hook her up with all the stuff she's gonna need. When is she going to take this one on?"
"In two days." Was all he said. Then he dismissed her and went back to the rest of the folders sitting on his already very cluttered desk.
