"Midas?"
"Hm?"
"I like that name. It fits you a lot."
"Huh...thank you Sophie. Not many people tell me that..."
*****************************************
Upon bandaging up her arm, Midas and Sophie overhear 2 very familiar voices:
One being Jules from a distance:
"What?! Well don't just lie there! Get up! If you won't bother looking for them, I'll go in myself! Now move it!!"
"That doesn't sound good." Sophie mutters, turning to a sees Midas' tense expression. "You alright M?"
"Hm? Oh, i-it's nothing."
And the other voice sounding a lot like Skye:
"Huh? Bossman?! Is that you I hear?"
Following the source of the voice, the duo find the legendary adventurer locked up tight within a cell.
"Oh my gosh! Boss! Sophie?! You're alive!!" She smiles, reaching through the bars to pat the girl softly on her head.
"Shadow can't get rid of someone like me that easily, agent Skye." Midas tells her with a hum.
"Well, that's true bossman! You're the best!"
The bittersweet reunion is cut short however when pounding footsteps begin to approach them at a rapid rate.
"There'll be time for chitchat later, for now, let's get the hell out of here." Midas groans as Skye recovers her bag and swords, along with Ollie, whom she places on her head.
*****************************************
Using a portion of his golden power, Midas manages to make a gap in the bars wide enough for Skye to clamber through safely. Then they begin to do the most logical thing:
Run.
Their plan?
Bust through Jules' henchmen and possibly Jules herself, get to the exit, and by using Skye's grappler, grab the nearest boat and make a break for it.
"Kill the henchmen if you must...but leave the girl unharmed." Midas orders.

"You mean Jules? Why M?" Sophie asks, confused.
"Just! ... don't harm her. Shove past her if necessary." He shouts, trying to keep his golden power under control.
"Yes boss!" Both girls reply.
Hmm, I wonder why he wants Jules unharmed?
Maybe he's known her once before. He's obviously hiding something...but what is it, I wonder?
Sure enough, the trio of runaway Ghost members run into a bunch of henchmen, all with submachine guns and assult rifles pointing right at them.
"Nowhere to run you 3." Jules' voice cuts through the crowd. "So just lay down your weapons and-"
She stops upon looking at the surrounded Ghost agents. Of course, she throws a glare at the girls, but when she notices Midas in between them, her face:
She looks like she's seen a ghost.
"Um, are you alright miss Jules?" Sophie asks, reaching out her hand before Midas puts it away again.
"Shut it, kid." She frowns, glaring at her.
"W-Well, what are you waiting for?! Shoot them!" Jules orders, regaining her focus.
But Midas was faster, pulling out both revolvers from his jacket, he shoots 2 henchmen blocking the way as Skye and Sophie shoot past, with her firing a few warning shots.
"Ugh! After them!"
Jules and the few remaining henchmen race after them as they reach the exit, bullets flying in spray.
"Quick! Grab a hold on my hand!" Skye shouts, pulling out her grappler.
Midas, as Sophie wraps his arms around him, grabs a hold of Skye's wrist as she shoots the grapple, latching onto a speed boat.
With a slight wobble, all 3 manage to land on their feet.
"Good shot agent Skye." He congratulates her as she smiles with a thumbs up. "Um, kid? You can let go of me now." He requests, looking down to find Sophie still holding onto him.
"Ah, sorry Midas." She grins.
The moment is short-lived, however, as a very angry voice shouts at them.
"You may have good tech Midas. But does her grappler do this?!"

The Priest of Genes
Meet Seth, acolyte in the Church of Virtue. He’ll be a Priest like his father soon, he just knows it. Sure he didn’t inherit his mother’s preaching power, but he doesn’t mind being the secondary priest at whatever temple he is assigned to. Just as long as he has a library. Meet this genetics textbook. Hmm, that doesn’t belong here. It must have come from somewhere far away, I guess something happened to its owner. I’m sure a studious young man who likes healing could go far with this information, whether he wants to or not. This is my first time really writing anything, so I hope you like it! Please let me know if I make any mistakes; I have a new R&D tech job at a genomics company, so I probably don’t edit as much as some people. I’m shooting for two thousand-ish word chapters released on Sundays, since none of the webnovels I read ever seem to update that day. Underserved Market! Genre is fantasy, possibly progression fantasy. Maybe a tiny bit litRPG if you wait a while and squint really hard, but that’s the most I’m prepared to claim. Hedged my bets on the content warnings, nothing that bad. Cover art from A. W. Gelman
