Room 201, Saturday Afternoon
Alex had been here a week, and finally, Nikita had decided it was time to check in with her. Alex had to be careful with her words. She didn't want her mentor thinking she had lost her mind.
"So, how was your first week?"
Where to begin. There were the weird phone calls about squirrels. There was the dinosaur, the doppelganger, the fake gremlins disguised as murderous clowns, the real gremlins, the aliens from other planets... "It's been okay."
"Good," Nikita said. "I want you to have as much of a normal high school experience as possible before the mission."
Alex kept the laughter in her head to herself. She wondered how much research had been done when Nikita found this school. Not that Alex was complaining. This place was weird, but it wasn't boring. She could handle weird.
They talked a little longer before Nikita had to go rescue some foreign diplomat or something.
Alex put her phone down and contemplated what to do with the rest of her day.
