They Found Me

[Nox]

It felt weird without the prosthetic. He'd gotten used to the sensation, and the ability to use the arm as an extension of himself. He now relied heavily on the power to do the most mundane things, like putting on his pants. It pissed him off. But there was a tiny bundle of joy strapped to his chest. Lily didn't like when he put her down. She didn't like when anyone else held her or fed her or just about anything. She tolerated Liam best, and he'd offered to come, but Sage was here and he could be an extra set of hands. And Sage was more useful than just a babysitter, more so actually. Nox had also taken to keeping his wallet in his kangaroo pocket underneath Lily and that meant he couldn't get to it easily enough, so as much as he hated the warrior lens Sage had originally offered him, he began using them. With a flick of his eye, he could answer his calls, change music and so much more. The only annoying thing was he had to touch his eyeball every morning and every night. He still preferred the land warriors, but Lily didn't like them.

She only a matter of days old when the call came. Now he sat in the middle of an airport terminal waiting for their first class flight back to the US to stop some fucking assassins and they waited for Nox's so-called partner to show up. They were several hours earlier than they should have been, mostly due to Nox's utter fear of flying. He had Lily to take his mind of off most of it.

A strange number rang across his wallet, and Nox looked to Sage, who shrugged. They were both keyed into the wallet. When Sage nodded, Nox answered the call. "Hello?"
