Title: Agents of the TSAB

Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I don't own MGLN. I know it's hard to believe but it's true.

Nanoha's POV:

"Testarossa-san can I see your ID, please?" Hayate-chan asked after Fate's short introduction.

"Sure." The blonde angel pulled a card out of her pocket and adjusted the strap on her shoulder which held a mysterious purple coloured item. She then walked across the meeting room and my eyes automatically followed her as she made her way to where Hayate-chan was sitting.

She handed a small white card to Hayate-chan. The brunette leader then swiped the card on the slot on her chair and smiled as it ran through our system without any problems. "It seems to be okay. Here." She passes the card back to its owner and nodded ever so slightly as the system continues to run the tall blonde's information.

Everyone in the room knew what would happen next, it was a test that we all had to go through when we first came. The test is fairly simple; all you need to do is to dodge any attack that was thrown to you to pass. Hayate-chan would give one of us the "look' and that person would have to attack the blond beauty. This time it was Signum-san turn.

Signum-san pulled Levantine out of the sheath, which was at her side, and was moving towards the girl in lightning speed. I barely had the time to blink before Signum-san was being pressed against the wall of the meeting room. We all watched in awe as the blond was holding Signum-san against the wall with her right arm and gripping Levantine in her left hand. I saw her whispered something into Signum-san's ear.

No one has ever taken Signum-san out that fast. How did she move that fast? Is that even humanly possible?

I watched in amazement as the normally stoic Signum-san's eyes widened. The girl released her hold on the pink haired knight and handed her sword back to her. Then the girl straightened Signum-san's jacket and dishevelled shirt with an apologetic smile before taking a step back to let the still in shock knight move past her. My amusement turned into shock as well. Signum-san walked back to her seat, sheathed Levantine and sat down quietly without any retaliation.

"Well, the higher ups didn't lie when they said you were good." Hayate-chan said lifting the veil of silence that had descended on the room. "If you don't mine would you take a seat over there?" She pointed to the empty chair to my left. The blonde nodded and began making her way over to my side.

"You said your name was Testarossa. Am I correct?" Signum-san asked as said girl walked by.

"Yes," the blonde answered softly.

"I am Signum, and this." She said patting her sheathed blade "is Levantine."

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Signum. As you know I am Fate Testarossa, and my weapon is Bardiche." The blonde sent a challenging smirk to Signum-san's way. "I would like to continue our fight another time if you don't mind."

"Of course, and I dont plan on losing next time." Signum-san said meeting that challenging smirk with one of her own.

"Right." The blond said as she finally settled down next to me. She turned to look at me and had a faint smile on her lips. I have to say the small smile she had given made her seemed even more stunning. "I saw you this morning."

I furrowed my brows, "When?" I asked. I think I would remember someone as beautiful as you.

"You were running through the street, and fixing your hair at the same time. I think that you may have knocked down a couple of people." She smirked teasingly.

I puffed out my cheeks and gave an uncharacteristic "hmm". "I so did not knock anyone down."

"Sure you didn't." She said playfully. I looked into those deep red pools and smiled. She seems like a nice person and I can't wait to get to know her.

"I'm Nanoha, Takamachi Nanoha. It's nice to meet you Testarossa-san" I let go of Yunno's hand and reached out to her for a friendly hand shake. She accepts my hand with a small smile. The rest of the room seemed to fade out and no longer existed when she touched my hand. It made my whole body filled with a warm tingling sensation.

She has such warm soft hands.

"You can call me Fate. Testarossa-san makes me feel old." She chuckles and kept on holding onto my hand.

"Okay, then you can call me Nanoha, Fate-chan." A smile found its way onto my face when I said her name. It felt so right, when I said her name in such a way.

"Nanoha." The syllables of my name seemed to roll off of her tongue as if she tasted them, and after a moment her small smile widened slightly. "I like it. It's a nice name." I blushed again upon her compliment.

"Thank you. I think you have a beautiful name too." And it's not only your name that is beautiful. I looked down at our still intertwine hands and blushed as I let go of her hand immediately. "Um, sorry about that," I said as I clenched my still tingling hand on my lap.

"What are you sorry for?" Her head was tilted slightly to the side as she pulled her hand back.

"For holding onto your hand?" I said uncertainly.

"What about my hand?" This time I saw the mischievous glint in her red orbs

"For holding it for so long?" It came out a like a question.

"Did you not like holding my hands?" She frowned slightly like she was disappointed by the fact, but the teasing glint was still there in her eyes.

"N-no."I stuttered. Why we are talking about this, I wondered. "H-holding your hand was nice."

"Then what are you sorry for?" A smile graced on her lips as she watched me trying hard to come up with a decent answer.

"I don't know." I said lamely.

Fate-chan was going to say something when someone cleared his throat loudly. I looked to my right and was met with a confused looking Yunno. "We should continue with the meeting." He said following with a long glance at Fate-chan before he grabbed my hand again. His hand seemed strangely cold compared to Fate-chan's warm ones.

"Yeah," I said. With a quick look around the room I notice that everyone was giving me strange looks.

To be honest I had completely forgotten that they were here in the same room.

"Well we talked on the phone before so you know that I am Hayate Yagami, Testa-"

"Fate, please call me Fate."

"Well then, Fate-chan." Hayate-chan said with a grin. "This is Shamal she is the head doctor."

Shamal-san smiled warmly at Fate-chan. "It is nice to meet you." Fate-chan gave her an equally warm smile and nodded.

"This is Vita, one of our agents, and she is mine. So keep your hands off her." Hayate-chan said with a wink.

"Hayate!" Vita-chan glared at the brown haired leader half heartedly.

Hayate-chan laughed and made a gesture to Yunno. "This is Yunno Scyra, he is our record keeper."

"Hello." Yunno turned and looked at Fate-chan with a small smile on his lips.

"Hi." She gave him a quick once-over and her eye lingered on our intertwined hands for a moment before she smiled again. Okay smiled is not quite the word to describe it. It was more of a slightly challenging smirk. I felt Yunno's grip tighten.

"You have already met Signum as well as Nanoha. Nanoha-chan is the person you were sent here for. They wanted to see how well the two of their best agents would work together." Hayate-chan gave a thoughtful look for a moment before she spoke again. "I think that's all. These people here are the most important people in this HQ, and you will get to meet everyone else in time. Oh and one last thing. Welcome to the TSAB of Japan."

"Thank you." Fate-chan bowed slightly in her chair as she spoke. "I will be under your care."

"Of course and with that this meeting is over, so everyone go back to work." Hayate-chan then looked at me. "Why don't you show her around the building?"

"Okay," I said without any hesitation, finally some alone time with my new partner.

Here is the edited version of chapter two. I hope that you like it.
