Con stretched out in his thinly padded airline seat. He had awoken to the sound of the captain addressing them. "…and thank you for flying with SunDrown airlines. Please buckle your seat belts as I finish the landing approach. This has been Captain Haddock speaking." The PA clicked off after a moment of fuzz and Con reached for his seat belt. Next to him, Lilly reluctantly put down her book and snapped hers into place as well. "Well. Are you nervous?" "That's a gimme." A moment of silence flitted into place, broken only by the noises of the plane and people around them. "What if he doesn't want me as family anymore, or worse blames me." Lilly looked sympathetic, "Neither of those will happen. He spoke of you often and kindly before I met you." She smiled encouragingly, "He'll be thrilled." Con shrugged noncommittally and gazed out the window, hoping she was right. ✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤✤ A good twenty minutes later he waited next to Lilly, fidgeting, while she stood on tiptoe and tried to catch a glimpse of his brother. "Well, he said he'd get our things from the baggage claim but……..AHH! There he is!" Con jumped in shock when she gave a short scream, then attempted to relax as she began bouncing up and down and waving to be seen above the crowd. Seconds later Nexo appeared fifteen feet away, his eyes met Con's and after a moment of frozen shock he dropped the suitcases and his mouth fell open. Lilly grabbed Con's wrist and dragged him along behind as she fought the crowd to Nexo. "I know I know, I didn't warn you, but.." She grinned, to happy to speak. Turning slightly away she gathered up the luggage to give them a moment. Con started hesitantly unsure of….well anything really. "Hi…..Nathan? It's been a long time…." Nexo grabbed him into a crushing hug and after releasing him ruffled his hair. "Conner, I though I had lost you too! But now." Con looked upon his blood brother, too choked up to continue, and felt the same emotion rising in his chest as well. "I missed you so much!" Nexo gave him another constricting hug before turning to greet Lilly. She ducked into his hug and then began telling him all about Ireland.
Chapter Two? Already? That was a short chapter.
"Haddock"... What an odd name. Lilly? Don't you mean Lily? Blames you for whaaaaat? ;-; Wait. She's that scammer girl? I got my eye on her for ya Con. >-> She screamed? Oh boy. Everyone gonna be looking at them like a bunch of weirdos. Ok. You did mean to spell it "Lilly" then. "Nexo"... I know a user by that name. And yet I can't remember them at the moment. Probably because I never really talked to them. "Nathan?" I thought his name was Nexo? Stop confusing me. "Conner?" Well... that one makes sense. Brother love. :3 Ireland. Huh. I was right.
Patience...things always improve with time.
coughcoughtintincoughcough I like to throw in some very very obscure easter eggs btw, so heads up.
Anything, nerves don't listen to logic. I'm sure he appreciates it. XD
Yes, yes I did. I like it spelled that way for some reason.
Yep. Yep. Yep. His real name is Nathan Oakhurst, Nexo is his nickname which will be explained a little while later in the story so I shall let you find out for yourself.
Con climbed into the rental car and clicked his seat belt into place, wrinkling his nose at the weird rental/too clean car smell. Lilly slid into the passenger seat and after he had stowwed the luggage Nexo got in and started the car. Lilly nudged Nexo, "You could have used my car." Nexo's grin was wry, "I couldn't seem to find the keys." Lilly paled, "Oh." Then she dug around in the carryon bag by her feet feverishly. She chuckled weakly, "Heh, here they are. That was stupid of me." "Don't worry, King told me to borrow this one. And he wants to talk to us." Con watched, brow furrowed as they're eyes met briefly in some kind of unspoken conversation. "We should drop by the hotel then, I'm sure Con is tired. You won't want to sit through all that boring business stuff will you?" Con opened his mouth to reply to her but his brother quietly cut him off. "Actually, King wants ALL of us to talk with him. Were going there now." Lilly didn't seem to know how to interpret that so she leaned towards the window and went deep into thought. Now Con was a thinker, and these veiled comments had him wondering. He was getting very curious as to what all the roundabouts where for. Fortunatly he had not long to wait. The car pulled up in front of a normal enough looking building. In fact it almost looked like it could be someone rich's summer home. But there was something secretive about it. Con stepped out and streched next to the car. He took a deep rejuvenating breath... then coughed as the nearby city air hit his unaccustomed lungs. Following behind his brother he took smaller careful breaths. If this was what the quality of life was going to be here, he wondered if he could get his brother to move to Ireland. Once Conner had stepped through those doors it was like a whole new world compared to the outside of the building.
Cont….
Well, I have delivered on my promise. Finally. Sorry about the wait guys, there should be moar hopefully soon.
I went through nine pages for this, I did. xD
Rental car... Nice, nice. She left her keys... with herself? Odd. Ship??? >_> King is in this? Wait... I knew this, too. Why am I surprised? xD Boring business stuff! Yay! Wait... why is she trying to keep Conner out of this stuff? >-> Is King some big boss dude? >-> Who wouldn't be curious after all of that? King is rich? Wait. He's a King. Duh. Secrets... >-> Oof. Air sickness. Yay! New worlds!

*decides not to tell you there's a third one now too* Yeap. The fact that you didn't is probably why you're confusing during some story parts but also I dunno if you want to because I'm going to redo it at some point.
I'm just gonna reply with my thoughts on every part.
*met. Met who? Oh. A crazy girl. Duh. Con has a brother? xD Um... she could be a scammer and take all your money. Again, he has a brother? O-o Whhhhhha? O-o It's his family's table... and yet it's not? He's adopted? Why does no one tell me these things? Mystery time.
Such a short part...
We're going to have plus 30 chains at least then. XD
Yes my editor was out for this story. I just write I don't proof it. Lilly ofc.
In the story yes. The first story kind of talks about Nexo more.
He does irl too.
Adopted ja.
They may be short but I'm not a mod who can ignore the character limit so I do what I can.
Ha.
Who's your editor now? It's different.
Ok.
I did not know this information. What shall I do with it?
Knapsack? Isn't that... like a purse? What is a "thach"? Did you mean "hair"? xD Again with the adoption stuff. Is it true???? Red heads? Is he in Ireland? So much spelling errors..... But they're purposeful so I won't correct them. Names, please. What is "Brixxtton"? Molly? As in... gollymolly? *Jots this down in a notebook.* *weren't Again with the adoption?!?! Are these names or... Dublin.
So he left with the crazy girl that could be a scammer? Ok then.
More like a backpack.
Okay, thatch, look up "golden thatch roof". I was using it to mentally imply that his hair was thick kind of like the roof.
Yes yes he is adopted.
Yes yes he in Ireland.
Thank you. what names?
Okay so the story is set in our world but in the future and not exactly the same kind of future as most people currently imagine it to be. In this future USA is called Brixxtton.
"Haddock"... What an odd name. Lilly? Don't you mean Lily? Blames you for whaaaaat? ;-; Wait. She's that scammer girl? I got my eye on her for ya Con. >-> She screamed? Oh boy. Everyone gonna be looking at them like a bunch of weirdos. Ok. You did mean to spell it "Lilly" then. "Nexo"... I know a user by that name. And yet I can't remember them at the moment. Probably because I never really talked to them. "Nathan?" I thought his name was Nexo? Stop confusing me. "Conner?" Well... that one makes sense. Brother love. :3 Ireland. Huh. I was right.

Mandala effect. Yes very muchly so much.
Lol XD
Yay! Cause reasons, you'll see.... Yes.
Not Jerry the
Nope.
Lol. XD
*Respects. Aw.
I know that... and now I can't place from where. xD
But what reasons? O-o
How did Jerry get in this?
Aw.
Hey. That's my personal reminder you're laughing at. >->
People bustled around everywhere. Some in suits, others in a rainbow of varying clothes and costumes. Most held breifcases and spoke on cell in unintelligible jargon. Sprinkled thoughout them, though, were people who were dressed completely averagely. However something about the way they walked told Con he wouldn't want to be on their bad sides. There were even dogs and one or two cats. The animals were wearing vest of varying colors, but he assumed they were trained service animals. He strongly doubted there were many pets kept here. As he surveyed the vast amount of information coming from all sides he concluded that the only thing that everyone of these people had in common was the determination emanating from them in their every action. Conner brought his focus back when he heard footsteps directly approaching them. A man anywhere from 25 to 30 was approaching their little group. Con quickly examined him, he had light brown hair cut average length, brown eyes. No facial hair. He wore a tie and the usual business ensemble but no suit jacket, with the tie slightly loose and the cuffs rolled up. He walked energetically but not in an overly rushed manner. The man reached them and began speaking, wasting no time. "Lilly, glad you got back safe, you can put off the misson debriefing until tomorrow. Let get this moved into my office." The three teenagers trailed after the man into his office. It was a nice room, a rug under the oak desk and most importantly comfortable chairs to sit in. After letting them arranging themselves in their seat the man spoke. "You must be Con. Welcome, I'm King. I'm the head of this organization." Con felt the hair on the back of his neck rise in excitement. This sounded and felt way bigger than he thought.
tbc...
Ok. Trying this on the IPad.
Sounds like New York. Animals. - No facial hair. A very important deatil that is. They are teens... How old is King? xD In his 30s?
King steepled his fingers and turned his attention to Nexo. "Nexo, I know that things have been insane from the moment you met us, and you kind of had no choice but to join us. But I want you to know that I am not some faceless guy at the top. Any questions you've been wanting to have answered?" "Will you actually answer?" "To the best of my ability, I can't tell you everything of course because of security. But I want my agents to be as happy as possible." "Okay, what's with the Fourth Wall Thing?" King shared a glance with Lilly, who lifted her eyebrows and turned away. King heaved a sigh, "It's really complicated. The Fourth Wall is the border between this world and the world of....legos." Dead silence as the clock cut the silence. Nexo bursts out laughing, "I'm sorry, but do you ACTUALLy expect me to believe that?" "Um....yes. I'm telling the complete truth. In fact the boundary between our worlds are thinner than you might think. Care to tell Lilly?" Lilly wrinkled her nose and hunched her shoulders displaying her awkward displeasure for a moment. "Well, the fact is, If you die here. You die. But lego's don't "die" they fall apart then regenerate. Normal people have no powers." "Then you....you all...everyone here, has powers because...." "Yeah, the combining process is what gives us our lego person's powers. There is a drawback though, once your combined, if you die. You stay that way." "Can you get un-combined?" "The process is stable and as safe to use as much as possible, but all it's properties are not discovered as of yet." Nexo looked more confused by the second. " Wait, then I'M combined!" King spook up taking the question, "Actually no. That's the thing we don't understand. You have your raw power in spite of no combining process. And on top of that your power level is way above any we've ever seen." Nexo's face went from befuddled to determined. "Oookay. Well I want to see this. Like now." "I will take you all down to the labs in a moment, but first." King fixed his gaze on Con. "I'll talk to you. You must have a lot of questions right now."
Cont...
”Agents”? >-> *Gasp!* Am I a spy? *v* I am so confused right now like my buddy Conner over here.
King leaned forward, "Con, what do you want to know?" Con blinked as he tried to organise his thoughts so he could convey them. "What have I got to do with this, and why are you letting me hear it all?" "Well, I was hoping that you might possess the same type of thing that your brother does. We were hoping that you would agree to join." "Can I think about it?" "You have until the end of this session because I can't let you see anything more of the lab or this base unless your on my side." "Oookay..... What would be expected of me?" "Well, we would have you submit for a few simple tests with your brother. But after that you both will go through the official training and entering. Once that process is completed you'll be assigned to one of the following teams. Thrush: the swift strike and sweep team, also known as SSAST. Wren: superior communications, surveillance, and intelligence. Jay: The Skills Experts Mockingbird: the undercover network. Owl: Heavy Assault. Or Eagle: the elite combination of the other teams. I'm assuming you will both want to be eventually placed in Eagle, as your friends are all there. But before that you will be required, as the others all are, to train in a different squad suiting your talents first." Con nibbled his lip a moment then leaned forward and flicked the hair out of his eyes. "I'm in."
Cont..... again.....
Cool teams.
You just met the guy... and you barely know him... and you take a job that could just be a scam for your money!
Wait! I’ve figured it out. This is all a scam and that girl “Lilly” is the head of all of it.
