Partner
Jackie was in Florence, Italy to meet her partner for her first assignment. She met her partner in a little cafe just on the outskirts of Florence. All she had to go on about her partner was he was 24 years old, was originally born in New York America but moved over to Italy at age 13. Had short black hair and always wore a brown fedora and cross necklace.
Jackie was supposed to meet him at the cafe at 12:30pm however, the time was know 12:40pm. As she was about to get up and leave a tall man with short black hair, wearing a brown fedora and a plain black T-shirt with a cross necklace showing over the top of his T-shirt came though the doors of the cafe. Jackie looked him over and thoughts this could be her partner, but there was only one sure way to see if he was. So she walked up to him and asked "The Crown Jewels have been stolen." He looked at her for a couple of minutes then smiled and replied "Yes the French have them".
The guy followed Jackie to her table in the back corner of the cafe so they could talk in private. "Hey, my names Ace and may I ask, did you fall from heaven because I think they're missing an angel." Ace said as he kissed Jackies hand. Jackie rolled her eyes and pulled her hand out of his and replied. "What nut house did they pick you up from because that was one of the worst pick up lines I've ever heard." Ace did not take kindly to Jackie's reply and follows it up with "Well, I see we're full of cheer and for your information that's how I talk to all the women and they love it." Jackie was not liking this guys attitude but knew she had to keep her cool. She sighed before apologising for her comment.
After a couple of minutes a waitress came over to them with a laptop and left it on their table. Ace opened the laptop and the P.W.T direct John Black was on the screen. "Good afternoon agents your mission is to look into the strange seismic activity happening at St. Paul's orphanage in Rome. We think it's an elemental, but need you to check it out so." The screen then went black. Ace got up and headed for the door, he turned around looked at Jackie "are you coming or what" he laughed as Jackie sat in her chair think about what could be. "I'm just coming" Jackie replayed as she got up and walked over to ace who was holding the door open for her.
It took Ace and Jackie a few hours to reach the orphanage. As they pulled up at the orphanages gates the building shaking. Ace and Jackie looked at each other and got out of the car. Children and nuns evacuated the building as Ace and Jackie walked up to it. "Welcome to St.Pauls Orphanage we are having a little problem, but do not fret." One of the nuns said. Then the building stoped, ace talked to the nuns as Jackie looked around the building, seeing if there was any damage. So headed round the back of the building.
Jackie saw a little girl huddled up with her back to the orphanage wall which had a large crack going up from where the girl sat to the roof. "Hey are you ok" Jackie asked. The little girl looked up with her tear filled dark eyes "No, who are you" her voice was shaky like she was scared of something or someone. "My names Jackie, I came here looking for someone very special what's your name?"Jackie replied in a soft, gently voice as she sat next to the little girl. "Zoe, and you won't find another special around here just a monster." Zoe answered as she cried some more "Zoe why are you crying and what can you tell me about this crack behind us?" Jackie asked trying not to push her luck. "I'm crying cause I make the crack and this is the fourth orphanage I've been sent to. I'm scared."
Jackie realised that Zoe was like her and Ace An elemental. "Don't worry Zoe your not the only monster in the world" Jackie told Zoe as she used her powers to bend the water coming off the water fountain a meter away from them into a star shape. "Wow" Zoe whispered as she was mesmerised by the display. "I've come here to find you. If you come with me we can help you learn how to control your gift more and us it to help others without them knowing." Jackie said as she stood up and held out a hand to Zoe. Zoe took the hand and got up. "Now Zoe focus on the building. Think of the crack not being there." Zoe closes her eyes and focused on the build. The ground moved under the building as the crack slowly disappeared. "That's it keep going you've nearly done it" Jackie encouraged Zoe. Once the building was fixed Jackie held out a hand for Zoe and walked her around to the front of the building where Ace stood talking to one of the nuns in Italian.
"Hey Ace how about the this child" Jackie said making it seem like she found a child for them as a couple know the nuns would not let Zoe go until they found a home for her. "Ace looked up and saw Zoe and then looked at Jackie with a grin "she will be perfect" ace replied then asked the nun about Zoe. The nun then let Zoe go with Jackie and Ace but before that gave her a copper cross. Then Zoe ran to Jackie and Ace. As they headed to their car. "What was that about back there" aces asked, confused "this is Zoe. She the one who been causing the seismic activity." Jackie replied in a smug tone. "So your the one we were sent to get" Ace replied.
They drove in silence for about 30 minutes, then Ace pulled into an old abandoned airfield which coursed Zoe to speak up "why we stopping here no one flights from here anymore" then on the runaway stook a black private jet. "This is where we flight from kid." Ace chuckled as he stopped the car. Jackie got out and opened Zoe door, smiling "come on then we are nearly there." Zoe got out and slowly walked to the plane. Once on the plane Ace went to the cockpit and set the autopilot to go back to the headquarters as Jackie got Zoe comfortable. "So, kid what's your story" Ace asked, walking about it the cockpit and sitting in the seat closes to the exit. Zoe looked away from Ace. Jackie then hit Ace for asking the question "why you do that she's know us less than a day and you ask that men your so stupid." Jackie told Ace. Zoe laughed at this "its fine you should at least know." Zoe replied as the plane took off.
