The First Mission - (Chapter 1)

[Marcus Brand]

Marcus sat down in a huff, still sorting things out in his head.  He was anxious and tense with a mix of worry. Not over how they would perform really, he knew they would excel at that, but over Lyn. He should just put her out of his head. Yes there were other girls out there, but after being with a supermodel who basically taught you everything about women, it was something his brain had a hard time getting around. He wasn't like Viego who snuck off into the city for parties and girls. Was Lyn even like a human woman?  I mean the women here were all scientist and guards.  Granted they flirted with Marcus from time to time, but Lyn was …direct. Very direct.  Well - they were all direct, but Hopefully it didn't get them in trouble with that officer this time. They had gotten in trouble before and were punished rather harshly for it. That had almost made him want to tear the place down, and he might have had Sarge not calmed him down. After so many years, Kora felt like his mother, Meris felt like his sister, and Lyn ….Well - she definitely wasn't either of those, but still. 

When his brothers showed up, (Yes, he saw Viego as a brother, regardless of blood), he gave them a solemn nod and made sure they had space on the bench to sit if they felt like it.
