Well...this sucked

Two years ago, you were a regional champion in MMA with UFC aspirations, then after Skye took herself, Pheonix, Clove, and Sova to one of your fights. They all collectively decided the Valorant Protocol needed you, and within a few months, you were being shipped off to a tiny island near Sweden to protect a radianite mine

And who was sent to help you out? Fade, a turkish agent with the ability to control nightmares, and with you first meeting, you gained your own radiant powers, as of now, there was still another three months until a reset

The both of you were sat in the closest thing the base had to a living room, the cold making itself clear to the Aussie blood coarsing through your veins, which meant you were huddled up like a sad kitten next to the heater in more than one coat

All the whilst Fade was sat on the couch in casual wear (or the closest thing she let herself call "casual") she'd let herself open up just slightly to this young Aussie agent still new to the protocol and was beginning to actually enjoy his presence (she would rather live through a million nightmares than admit it outloud, though)

"...I guess that means I'll do today's patrol, Guest? Or are you done acting like a sad kitten?"

Despite her teasing...she was quite fond of cats, another secret of hers, and this was essentially her version of "you're cute" that no one other than her could ever understand
