The walk to the area the Ward's resided was relatively short. Stannis's loud footsteps filled the corridor as he followed Miss Militia with Hebert at his side, her Father wasn't allowed in this area apparently and she now wore a plain black mask. Now clean of the hideous pink glitter, Stannis still had his usual frown on his face. Of course, Stannis made sure he would never run into Glenn unless he really had to. Maybe he could send Taylor in his place if he really had to.

Soon, a siren started sounded out of nowhere with red lights flashing brightly. Quickly placing his hand on the pommel of his sword, Miss Militia placed her hand on his shoulder with a smile hidden behind her mask no doubt.

"There is nothing to worry about. That's to inform the Wards that they need to mask up to protect their identities." Miss Militia explained as they stood in front of a metal door. Stannis could hear Hebert take a deep breath as the doors finally opened revealing a surprisingly normal room.

Sitting on the couch, was who Stannis assumed was a member of the Wards, that seemed similar to a Redwyne boy wearing a domino mask.

"Sup." Said the unknown boy. His bright blue eyes are a stark contrast to Stannis' own dark blue eyes.

"Hello Clockblocker. Meet your newest teammate, Honor." Miss Militia said simply as Taylor and Stannis walked in. Taylor's eyes widened at the sight of the rather infamous Ward. Apparently, he went off script at his debut which resulted in some public outcry. Well, that's as much as Stannis knew from what he had seen in Taylor's memories.

"Nice to meetcha." Clockblocker said as he jumped up from his seat and made his way towards them. Stretching his hand for her to shake, a voice spoke up before their hands made contact.

"You better not do it stupid." The voice was surprisingly young, and a small girl walked into the room. With dark blonde hair that wasn't that far from a Lannister, it was relatively obvious that the newcomer was Vista dressed in her green-Tyrell costume.

Taylor stopped her hand at the last minute obviously confused. Stannis simply stood off to the side watching the exchange.

"Damn it Vista. You had to ruin the joke!" Clockblocker said dramatically as he placed a hand on his forehead. Vista simply slapped the back of his head before walking turning to Taylor. They both gave a glance at Stannis, but kept their focus on the newest Ward. Stannis simplu grunted in return.

"Hi! It's so nice to have another girl on the team! I'm Vista." Said heroine shaking Taylor's hand. From where Stannis stood, Taylor seemed a bit starstruck.

"H-hi." Taylor squeaked.

"You don't have to feel compelled to reveal your identity Honor. Only if you are comfortable with it." Miss Militia said softly as she eyed Clockblocker suspiciously. Taylor simply nodded in return.

Then, Miss Militia turned to look at Stannis, his eyes met her own.

Let the kids have their privacy. We can introduce you to your future teammates. Miss Militia said as she placed a hand on his shoulder. After all, were going to work together soon and now would be a good time to introduce you to everyone."

Stannis reluctantly nodded.

"Very well."

With one last look at Taylor, he left the room with Miss Militia.

Stannis did not like this.

Taylor POV

Clockblocker and Vista were actually pretty nice. Well, Clockblocker was kinda weird but that's ok with me! It was...weird talking to people I had admired for a long time.

"Anyways, now that the old farts are out." Clockblocker pulled his domino mask off casually before stuffing it in a pocket with a laidback smile. "I'm Dennis."

I smiled softly in return. Pulling my mask off me, I adjusted my glasses slightly.

"I'm Taylor."

"Nice to meetcha." Dennis extended his hand again, but a quick look at Vista had her quickly shaking her head.

"I'm Missy." She said quickly changing the conversation. Missy pulled off her visor revealing brown eyes.

"Sooooo newbie. What can you do?" Dennis said as he threw some chips in his mouth casually.

"Uh, remember that guy in medieval armor?" I said slowly.

"Hard to forget someone that looks as grumpy as he does." Dennis grumbled as he dropped a chip. Missy only leaned forward.

"I can summon him."

Both of their eyes widened in shock.

"So you're basically another version of Crusader?" Clockblocker drawled. I simply nodded in return. Vista seemed to be thinking about something.

"So how are they planning on selling that to the civies?" Vista said with her eyebrows forming a unibrow as she thought hard about it.

"Apparently they plan on passing me off as a medieval style tinker while Stannis debuts as a member of the Protectorate." I explained. She was so cute.

"Annnnd, they are making a 'family' with Stannis, Gallant and I." I mumbled that last part.

"Nice, everyone is going to eat that up like chocolate cake whenever it's Vista cheat day." Clockblocker declared which earned him another slap to the head. How...does he not have a bruise on his head by now? Maybe they should call him a brute 0.

Vista stared deep into my soul.

"Does that mean you'll be Gallant's new 'sister'?" Vista said excitedly. She seemed...more happy about this than she should be.

I gave a half-hearted shrug. "I guess?"

Vista giggled, which seemed out of place yet just right at the same time. It was weird...making new friends. I don't know if I could count Stannis, but at least I could count on these two now. Well, I wasn't exactly sure yet, but we shall see!

"Awesome. Wanna have a tour of the Ward base? Aegis and Gallant should be back soon." Vista said happily. Clockblocker was now silent. Maybe the last slap gave him a concussion?

"Sure. That sounds like fun." I smiled softly. Vista stood up and grabbed my hand.

New friends are always fun
