《The Darkest Star》Four

“Yay!” The girl squeals with delight.
She plays games on the woman’s tablet while the woman slows down and watches the planes fly above her, closing in on the nuclear plant. She knows they can’t escape in time. She pulls to a stop.
“I’m going to take a break from driving.” She says as she watches the bombs drop.
On Monday I go to training. I immediately notice that they’ve disabled the security cameras. I find the Head Coach. She greets me with a smile,and I give her the envelope. She reads the letter inside and nods.
”Hi, my name is Xanthe.” She says.
”Hi.” I answer.
She nods. “You probably know that I know your name. Should I call you Katie, Agent Wilson, or even just Wilson?” Xanthe asks.
I shrug. “Katie is fine. So what are we going to do here?” I ask her, and look around.
“Let’s start with seeing what you can do. Here, let’s do some obstacle courses.” She says, and we walk over to them.
After about an hour, she lets me take a break. She writes a few things down on her clipboard. After my break we head to the swimming pool. At first she makes me go back and forth, but after that she says I can leave. Altogether that was only an hour of training, and I have no idea what to to for the rest of the day. So I naturally go talk to Fury.
“You’ve got to stop bothering me 24/7, Wilson.” He says when I get to his office.
“Sorry. But it’s not like I can talk to anyone else. Anyways. Where will I live when Jackson and Willows are done with me?” I ask.
Fury thinks about it for a minute, and then he seems to have remembered something. “Don’t worry about that. You’ll either live in one of the apartments across the street, where lots of agents, including Cap, live. Or you can feel free to buy a house. Either one works for me.” He says.

”Ok. Willows said she’ll be done with me in a few days. How much is the rent for one of the apartments?” I ask, expecting it to be very expensive.
”For a normal person, very expensive. For all agents, half-price. Courtesy of me and Coulson. Is that all?” He tells me.
I nod. “‘Bye.” I say.
Four days later I move into one of the apartments across the street. I’m on the top floor, and it’s super luxurious. I have a balcony that is almost as big as the house itself. It’s so modern, and expensive that I can’t even imagine what the original price was. The only problem is that if I were ever needed, it would take awhile to get from the fourteenth floor to the first.
Since I don’t have any furniture yet, there’s nowhere to sit. Except for a few chairs on the balcony. I bring two inside and put them in the living room. I wonder where I’ll sleep tonight. After I explore the house, someone knocks on the door. I open it. No ones there. There’s just a package. I take it inside, wondering how they delivered it. When I open it, I find a few things.
Snacks, a couple blankets, an air mattress and most importantly, a uniform. It’s one piece, and even the gloves are attached. The neckline is up to my neck, and the fabric seems really durable. So, naturally, like a child, I wear it the rest of the day.

Zeroth Knight
Isekai, fantasy, with the core themes of Identity and Fate. Story contains a, mostly, lesbian cast. Just when she was about to confess to the man of her dreams, Eve is taken by a light to another world. Swallowing her up, against her will, eroding her, it demands a life so contrary to her previous one. In a new world with the title of “Zeroth” forced upon her, she must rely on her newfound “friends” to stay sane and navigate her responsibilities. But bit by bit, the world loses sight of the girl inside; seeing only “Zero,” the person she did not desire to be, but the hero that the world needed. Will Eve let the title she bears consume her, or will she become the hero in both body and mind? This is the tale of her struggles, and a star-crossed love destined by Fate to never converge. This is the tale of Zero. This story is a slow-burn, meant to be a few hundred pages or more in length, so the plot isn't the fastest to move. It also has lesbian-themed relationships for the majority of its cast. This story partially falls under, "harem" with the main character being female and gaining the affection of other females, against (at first) the main character's (Eve) will. This first arc will be more focused on the mentality and emotions of the cast with battles spaced intermittently. The second arc will involve a lot more fighting. Arc two will be out in a reasonable timeframe. I have another story up, a short story drama with light yuri and supernatural themes: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/27010/escape-the-knight I am will continue updating older chapters to make them flow better, and to just be more structurally sound. Follow me at: https://twitter.com/ozefen0 Share the story if you think it's good. And please rate some stars and leave reviews guys. It will help encourage other people to take a chance with the story and get to know this wonderful journey with us. Also, a friend has made a Discord for the "Zeroth Universe" if anyone wants to join and hang out to talk about the stories, theories, or just general fun chats with us! https://discord.gg/f3Bc4TR

The goal of Sam and Xander is to establish themselves in their world before two years since that was when the War Games are taking place.
