Chapter 2: Our first kiss... Sort of
Twilight was needed for an important mission and he had to leave for the whole week.
Luckily for him there is going to be a medical conference where he has to go.
"Lucky bastard... Even the perfect excuses knock your door at the right time" said Sylvia smiling at her best agent "We already added Loid Forger to the list and for your wife and the government you will be there"
He nodded and smiled softly "good. I'm glad I have good luck on this one"
Sylvia just smirked "yeah... Since I met you, you have good luck... I guess Operation Strix is just that difficult"
"I guess so" he said and left WISE headquarters and headed home.
He arrived and had to cook the dinner since Yor had to stay an extra hour due to a Fair that will happen on the weekend.
It became more frequent that she cooked dinner, thanks to Granny Barbara and her husband, Grandpa Siggy helped Anya to study so she could understand better what she was learning at school.
Those elders, without knowing it, were helping a spy from another country to bring peace to both of them.
When Yor arrived Loid sat down and explained to them about him leaving the next day and won't return until Friday night.
Yor nodded "We are going to miss you, Loid but I know those conferences help doctors to get better so I will support you here with Anya and Bond"
Loid smiled back, a genuine one, and added "I know you will and you know I trust you on that" then turned to Anya "this time let's hope your school doesn't plan an excursion" he said with a bittersweet taste, because last time he had to left she was kidnapped alongside his target's son, Becky and the rest of her class.
"Don't worry papa... It won't happen" she said like a military with her hand on her forehead. Both Yor and Loid laughed softly.
They finished their dinner and after brushing their teeth they went to bed.
The next day. Yor made breakfast and after that they let Anya leave in the school bus and the couple walked separate ways. She went to her job and he went to the train station.
At the train station was Fiona and Doctor Lewis Armstrong (Code Name: Daybreak) who was a little taller than Twilight, brown hair and white skin. He was an MD in the same hospital and was there to assist Twilight if he needed back up.
"The sky doesn't have any clouds, right?" Said Twilight.
"Indeed. I shouldn't have brought my umbrella" said Daybreak, looking back at the other spy.
Fiona didn't say anything since she already knew Twilight and had the same conversation with Daybreak when she arrived.
They started to tap their feet on the floor communicating with Morse code and looking around like waiting for the train.
"The mission is finding the database of the vice president of Desmond's party. People said he used it to buy adversaries and to convince others to follow their ideology" said Nightfall.
"Why the three of us?" Asked Twilight.
"You are the master of disguise, I'm a sharpshooter and Nightfall can act like your wife so your role is more reliable" added Daybreak.
"I was afraid you would say that. I usually work alone" said Twilight but before Nightfall could reply, the train arrived and they will discuss the case later.
The trip was quiet and it will take most of the day to arrive at the place. Twilight somehow missed Anya's tv show in the background, the sudden touches of Bond's tail and hearing Yor whistling while making tea and hot chocolate for Anya.
'How can I miss all that while I'm on a mission? I'm Twilight, the best spy from WISE. Loid Forger is a character I created...' He sighed and quit reading, turning on the TV in his room and seeing Bondman on TV. He smiled softly.
'Ay Loid Forger you're taking control of me... I shouldn't let it happen but, it feels... Right?' thought him as he watched the tv spy fighting bad guys.
The next day they arrived at their destination and signed up in the hotel. Doctor Forger, Doctor Armstrong and their secretary, Fiona.
After putting their stuff in their room, informing their family, mostly Loid and Lewis, they began to gather information on their target. These took all day and at night they ordered food and planned everything.
As always and to Nightfall's delight, Twilight had eight hundred sixty-five plans in his head.
After he shared the main line they left to their mission.
Daybreak would be their backup in case they needed it. Nightfall was already recovered from her injuries and stronger than before. And Twilight had his costume ready to act as Leon Bridges, a man interested in the war politics of Desmond's political party.
They surely will draw their target's attention.
Twilight had a light brown wig, his normal blue eyes were now green. He was wearing a black suit with a blue shirt and black tie, Fiona was "his wife" Meredith Bridges, black hair and red eyes with black dress, a copy of Yor's look.
This didn't escape Twilight's perception "you look just like Yor" he said in a whisper.
"It's a very common sight in the south" said Fiona without looking at him.
He rolled his eyes looking around "you had been studying her?"
"I wanted to know why you picked her as your partner in Operation Strix. What does she have that you didn't pick an expert spy?"
"She is good with Anya and she's trying to help without knowing my mission. But I'm not here to discuss my decisions Nightfall. I'm here to finish the mission" she just nodded and they continued with his plan.
The main course was going smoothly. This helped discard already six hundred plans. As the night went on, the line of actions became smaller until they reached their goal.
But of course something had to go wrong, the mission was almost compromised and he had to improvise. He was the best because of his quick thinking.
But watching Nightfall's wig and contact lenses made his legs and brain slower than usual.
The thoughts of Anya and Yor came to his mind and he cursed himself because he was letting Operation Strix get in his head.
A bullet almost hit him, it barely touched his arm enough to leave a cut. His mind was foggy and full of THEM, those two women he realized he cared too much to be just another mission.
Yor was doing her best to cook better, Anya had three Stellars and finally met someone who can explain things to her and get her to understand them.
He can't lose them, he always thought Operation Strix was another mission but, now they were his family and he will protect them. Even if he had to return with just an arm, he will return, just to see their faces again.
These made him recover control over his body and think quickly. He wasn't used to killing but if it was necessary he would so he got a gun and shot it, killing a couple of them. Daybreak and Nightfall also kill the others, giving Twilight a chance to get in a room and to get a new costume and steal the data with ease.
The next day after their wounds were treated, the three spies left.
"Superior... I wanted to apologize... I shouldn't used Yor Forger's look for the mission it was reckless and stupid"
"Nightfall... I picked her because she showed strength, she was in need and so was I... It was a common cause, I needed a wife for Eden and she needed a boyfriend/ husband so people didn't say that she was a spy. But them... The way she is with Anya, how she compromised with being a good wife, made me think I made the right decision. Maybe if I have another agent it would be easier but Yor fit even more because she may the mission look imperfect"
Nightfall nodded, he was even more perfect than what were her expectations and something was clear to her. At this point in time... Yor Brier, erm... Forger had 2 points against 0 points for her.
On Friday night Loid was back home and he smiled at the little welcome party. Anya made a star with paper and with Yor's handwriting it said:
To the best papa.
I love you
Loid smiled and kissed Anya's head and hugged her which was a surprise for her but she let it flow since her daddy wasn't normally like this.
"Tomorrow is the Fair so I want to invite you all" said looking at all of them. They nodded and after dinner they went to bed and slept all night which was weird for him since he was used to not sleeping all night.
The next day after breakfast they left and went to the fair. Got to the attractions, played fair games and won plush animals for Anya.
They ate hotdogs and fed Bond with sausages. After a fun day the Town Hall decided to close it with fireworks.
Sadly Anya fell asleep so Loid held her in his arm, biting his lips due to the pain in his arm and smiled at Yor.
"Thank you for taking care of her while I was gone" he smiled, causing her to blush which made him act impulsive for the first time as Twilight. He leans in and kisses her cheek then he looks away with a red face as well as Yor's.
They headed back to their house after the fireworks show. Yor was still red after Loid kisses her cheek.
OOooOOooOO
Hope you enjoyed this one. Maybe less sweet and short but our dear Twilight needed to realize he cared for Yor and Anya deeply.
