Skye and TnTina brought a little too many blankets outside.

We'd have enough blankets to cover the whole roof of the agency at this point. We spread out a few blankets on the cold balcony and snuggle up underneath the stars.

Skye was buried underneath a pile of pillows before bursting out of them "Lets look for constellations!"

I giggle "okay" I lay on my back and feel both their heads on either side of mine.

"Hey Y/N" Skye speaks.

"Mmhm?"

"I'm glad you get to stay with us, please stay" When I processed those words my heart instantly melted.

"Aw of course Skye, I'll do my best to impress Midas" I declare.

"You better, I need someone's nails to paint black" Tina adds.

"Why not Maya, Journey or Skye? Oh- Lynx might?"

"Oh me and Lynx always paint each others" Tina grins.

"Hey look it looks like a duck!" Skye cries out, pointing at the night sky.

"He looks kinda angry though" I snicker. We all laugh at the images in the stars for awhile before Maya comes out to join us.

She sits down and wraps her arms around her legs joining in on the conversation.

"What zodiac is that one?" Maya points out to Skye.

"Uh- uh. Oh it's the...Pisces!" She answers with squinted eyes.

"One activity we did at training was learn to survive in the wilderness. Me and my friends camped out together and watched the stars, we loved it so much we did it every night" Maya explained.

She had a distant look in her eyes and I immediately realized what had happened to them.

"And now I get to do it you goofballs!" Maya grabbed us and squished us into a big hug and we all screamed playfully.

"She's trying to eat meee!" Tina said between laughs.

After a moment we calmed down and cleaned up. We went down to the foyer to enjoy the company of the other agents, some music playing in the background with lots of snacks.

We ended up turning the music up and starting a dance party, Tek was the DJ. After a few pumped up songs he began to play a cliché slow dance song which Skye and TnTina decided to do together as a joke. They weren't even slow dancing, they just made up funny dances as they went.

Everything around me faded and I really got caught up in my thoughts.

I love it here. This is the first time I've actually been really happy and I wanted to keep feeling this way.

My environment dissolves back into my vision and I see Skye pass me.

"Going to bed already?" I ask.

"Nope, I just need to use the restroom" I make an okay sign with my fingers before walking up to Maya, Lynx and Journey.

"Hey Y/N!" Journey greets me cheerfully.

"Hi!" I respond returning her gesture.

"We were just talking about the sightings of more Shadow clones" Maya informs me.

"Clones?" I echo. What do they mean by that?

"Yeah, couple months ago when E.G.O started investigating the island, A.L.T.E.R showed up with people that looked exactly like us. Mine goes by the name Hazard, she's got some bright green hair and a suit with equipment just like mine! It's so strange"

"Huh. The time I spent with Shadow I had never known any of this" I sigh in thought.

"It's really freaky, they've got some sort of tech we don't know about" Lynx adds. She's probably right. Maybe this info should be taken to Midas.

I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn to see Skye with a devilish smile.

"Skye that's actually freaking me out" I laugh awkwardly.

"Haha sorry but I kinda got boss man to come down here and dance with you!"

"Eh!?" My face warms up. "W-whyy?"

"Just play along. You were lonely and wanted boss man to dance with you but you were shy...so! I got him for you!"

"Oh geez Skye...I just met him this morning and now I'm gonna dance with him?"

"Pssh, I'm sure people do it all the time" She motions her hand up and down then pushes me onto the dance floor.

"I heard you wanted to dance?" Midas' hand reaches out into my vision. I look up at the tall man and hesitantly take his gloved hand.

"Well I was actually...set up...heh..but I don't mind of course!" Gosh I'm a mess.

"It's good to take a break and see my agents having a good time"

"Yeah, I love it here" I blush lightly. As we move to dance floor and get in formation I flinch. A random flash of light blinks to my left.

TnTina was holding Skye's camera over her face before bringing it down to reveal her embarrassed wide eyes.

"Heh. Forgot to turn the flash off" She says bashfully.

"That's going on the corkboard!" Skye shouts across the room.

I look over and Midas is shaking his head with a soft smile on his face.

"Anyways, shall we?"

I nod, "Expect a lot of pictures of us"
