Alyssa's Van Talk

JP with mdman, Jaxx and Cindy

On the way to the church, the conversation continued. For some reason, Choi trusted these two Illuminati. It could be they went through the shade attack together, but their personalities and attitudes meshed with Yeong’s. It wasn’t because of age, as Powers was in his thirties.

“No hard feelings,” Choi voiced to Powers. “I feel I can trust you two Illuminati. We’ve been through a battle together. I’m not sure about Agent Sartre though. Is he a good man or do we need to be careful around him?”

Agent Powers shrugged as he replied, "Well to be fair this is my first group mission with the Illuminati, Dragons and Templars. Normally I do solo missions and only work with a handler for a short time. Alyssa is easy to work with but Peter and I barely talk to each other, so it would be best to form your own opinion on him. However Peter seemed pretty sure we were going to be facing some danger, so if he is right we may need to know a more ideal way to fight. As you can guess these guns (flexing his arms) are not just for show. I can be the tank and use whatever is around as a shield. Is it safe to assume you can flank as an attacker Choi?”

Yeong grinned. “We seek peace in our individual lives at the monastery,” he said. “However, I am trained in martial arts. I have been trained in all forms of blade as well. So, to answer your questions, I can assist in a fight.”

The one thing Choi was confident in was his skills. Through routine practice and training, he was well versed in all aspects of defensive and offensive strikes.

"Peter is a good man, from what I've seen," Alyssa responded. "He's a little overprotective of me but there's reasons for it." Maybe overzealous about some things, Alyssa was trying to still figure all of that out.

"Anything physical is not my forte. I can use the rifle, not convinced it'll do much good but that's what I've got." Alyssa responded.

“Don’t worry too much about that,” Choi sincerely stated. “I realize your skills lie elsewhere. Your man Powers and I will protect you.”

Choi was confident in his abilities, but also had learned from Master Park’s patience with him. “I’m sure when it comes down to it, your training will be sufficient.” He winked at her and smiled. “I have confidence in you. If you had not helped in the cellar of the manor, that shade may have eaten my soul.”

Agent Powers then replied, "Yeah what exactly was that "Shade" thing? Apparently it made me relive my first missions taking down a Cartel in South America while plowing through cannibals and animals. To help me stay in the zone I often sing a song to stay focused. Is that what you all saw me do?”

The van pulled into a parking space, they had arrived at the church. "Maybe, we can discuss this later?" Alyssa had a feeling the explanation wouldn't take longer than they had time for.
