Maelynn sat in a large room, wearing a ruffled white dress. She had on white kid gloves that were wrapped around a small teapot. She leaned forward and poured some of the clear liquid into a waiting cup, smiling as she sat back and sipped something from her own cup. Her brown hair swung in front of her face. She had on bright pink lipgloss and sparkling make-up.
She sat on a plastic chair, a small table in front of her. She was surrounded by small, stuffed animals, each seated in a chair, except for one chair, that was across from her. She was waiting for the arrival of the last guest.

Jade walked into the room, dressed in her Shy Guy uniform. She'd done this countless times, and knew the protocol. She stepped inside, respectfully removing her hood.
She took a seat, looking at the little girl. However, this was no ordinary girl. Maelynn was a white Shy Guy. Not just any Shy Guy, though. Maelynn was her boss; the one who appointed her to black, even.
"Evening, Ma'am," she said, nodding her head as she took the cup.

"Evening, Jade." She smiled. "Would you like some tea?" She liked Jade. The Shy Guy was a very good worker.
"So, I heard your last mission was a success." She sipped her water idly.

"Yes, please," she said politely.
"Yes, it was. But...about that..." She sighed. "It was just barely a success. A red just so happened to have the same job and backed me up. But not just any red. And we barely made it out alive."
She swallowed hard. "Honestly I don't remember making it out."

She nodded, pouring some "tea" for her, then a little more for one of the stuffed animals. "Yes, what a coincidence," she said. "Was the girl useful to you?" she asked, setting down the teapot again. She eyed the woman over the teapot.

She sipped her 'tea.' "I...I don't think it was...coincidence. I mean, please forgive me. But I was the only black who'd take it. She just so happened to be on the same job. And she just so happened to be my girlfriend. And Thor's daughter."
"I think this runs deeper than meets the eye."

She sighed, pressing down her dress. She stood up, making a show of checking on her other "guests". "Well, he used to be a white, but none of us could easily take him on without putting ourselves in danger. He knew your name, and the name of your girlfriend. And her being Thor's daughter, well...That must have come in handy." She looked up at Jade, smiling again. "Why? Do you think I stacked the deck in my favor?"

"Not just yours, actually. That little bit pushed us along as well. So, you could say it was stacked for all of us." She smiled, brushing her hair aside.
"It's an honor that you would trust me with such a heavy job. And my partner, as well."

Maelynn moved over and leaned in a little, playing with Jade's hair. "I did it because I know you'd be able to do it. And I'm glad you were able to, but I'm sorry I had to put the both of you at risk. But I knew that because she was Thor's daughter, she could call upon his hammer if it got to be too much for you. I didn't want to lose you, either of you.
"I wish my hair was as pretty as yours." She let go of Jade's hair to play with hers nervously.

Jade nodded. "I know you wouldn't want to lose us. You've invested too much time, money, and effort to just kill me or her off."
She smiled, then stood, playing with Maelynn's hair. "Your hair is pretty. And unlike mine, it's yours. It's so soft, and you're still young. So, on another note, I assume you have another assignment?" She began to braid Maelynn's hair.

"And I like you. And her. I've only met her once, but she's really nice. I can see why you like her too."
She giggled, blushing a little. "Thank you. Oh, yeah...um...I need you to track down a yellow. His name is Thomas Johnson. I assume you know what to do."

"I do." She finished braiding. "I'll have his mask and cloak back here in an hour. She slid on her hood and fastened her mask.
"See you soon." With that, she turned to leave.

She nodded. "Thank you."
She ran after her. "Wait!" She had a small stuffed dog in her hand. "Take Puddles with you." She smiled. "He'll protect you."

Jade lifted the mask to show her smile. She took the dog and put it safely on her belt. "Thank you." Her boss was so adorable sometimes, but Jade knew that even though Maelynn was five, her intellect was unmatched by most people twice Jade's age.
"I'll take good care of him. And vice versa, I'm sure."

Maelynn nodded. "He'll take very good care of you." She smiled and hugged Jade around the waist. "I like you. I'll see you when you come back."
