I travel to Isbella house. She was quiet and wasn't that great of a fighter. I hope I can pur her in a supporting role. Well, that isn’t true. She is stronger than most of the team, but she is too meek. I thought Wendy would be the person who couldn’t hurt people. But as we were training, I notice something off with her. Isbella could hit targets as long as they weren't human or animal shape. We aren’t even discussing battles between people. She would always be on the defense and refuse to attack her opponent. I can‘t even get her mad enough to attack me out in anger. I can’t have her on the battlefield, and it will be nice to know more about her from her family. Reading their information, they should take kindly to me. I hope. The father is a man who love power. He might be a problem. Elder Jessie is still a man with a lot of power and understanding of the system. I need to build a new coalition. From the ashes of the Elders. I am hoping the father will accept me. I rather not having to fight over 20 people plus.

I land in front of the house. Looking over the notes, I pull out a mirror and give myself a quick checkup. I was in my battle uniform instead of business clothes. Erica’s notes says that the odds are the negations will go south and the best way to prepare for this event is to get ready for a fight. Isbella’s father knows only violence, and a good way to get through to him is punching him in the face. Would it be good for me to put up a battle aura before even meeting her parents? I should ask the spider on top of my head. He is supposed to be guiding me. But he has done nothing of note, and I doubt he ever will. So let’s keep ignoring him. It has been working so far. Ok, let’s put up our aura. The air around me burns. The grass is dying all around me. They are losing water, and steam is forming around the house. Just as I about to knock on the door, the door bust open and out comes Isbella’s mother.

“Kid, stop what you are doing. You are destroying all of grass and causing it to get super hot. My gas bill will go up the roof trying to keep this house cool with you burning everything around you. Also take off your shoes before coming into the house.” Without saying a word, I stop producing my battle aura. I look around and see all the destruction I cause. Oops. I should keep in mind my power when I visit the next house. I take off my shoes and follow the woman inside. She was around 6’2 and had long red hair. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. “Lunch is almost ready. And afterward, I will spar with my kids. Why are you here announced?” I thought the father was supposed to be the aggressive one. “Um, ma’ma, I am here about your daughter.” “Wait, a moment. Dear get in here, Isbella got herself a boyfriend.” Wait, what did she said? A guy runs into the room with an apron on. “Oh, my sweetie brought home a boy? That is nice. Wait, a second. I have seen you before. But I don’t know where.” “Honey, what do you mean you have seen him before. Where have you seen him?” “I don’t know. I think it was on the TV and it was an important event. I cannot put my finger on it. Let’s ask our little girl.” Yes, Isbella come here, your boyfriend is here!”

A male voice around 16 yells, “Oh Isabella has a boyfriend, I want to see what he looks like.” An older voice yells back, “No way, man. Isabella is too much of a nerd to get a boyfriend. I bet it is one of her teammates looking for her.” "Mom, I don’t have a boyfriend. Don’t let random people in the house looking for me.” 3 different footsteps coming running down the stairs. They were pushing and shoving. They came crashing down the stairs. They scan the room. 3 pair of eyes fell on me. “Sister, why is he here for you? Are you really his boyfriend if, so I welcome him into the family.” “No stupid, he is her team leader and trainer. That is why she has gotten so much stronger. Darn big brother was right.” “You guys shut up. Um, team leader, why are you here?” The three siblings were wearing combat gear. It seems they are going out and spar right after they eat. They also get alone so well. This is a family of siblings look like. My evil sibling is boring, but you can tell they relate to each other. It is nice seeing how brothers and sisters react to each other. “Come and sit next to your parents, I have things we need to discuss. Tell your two brothers to go away. They aren’t needed right now.” “Wow, look at this kid. He thinks he is a hot shot calling orders.” “Mom, stop ok Alexander. You two go away, or I will give you a beating later.” She kicks both of her brothers, causing them to run out of the room and back upstairs. Isabella’s father takes off his apron, he runs off and puts the skillet back on the stove. He comes back with a white tee and jeans on. He sits next to his wife and child on the couch.

I walk in front of the family and says, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Alexander and wants to destroy the Elder organization. It seems you two don’t recognize me, so let me help you with this problem. The other day Elder Jessie fought a young man to a tie. I am the person he fought to a tie. I know you know about the incident, that is why you took your daughter out of the school, right?” The mother hits the father on the shoulder, “You look at that stupid video 20 times and you didn‘t recognize the person in it?” The father scratches his head. “I’m sorry, I only watch it on my phone. It has a tiny screen. I haven’t had time to put it on the TV and watch it in HD. So you are the boy that bested Elder Jessie. Yeah, we pull Isabella out of the school because we fear the retaliation from Elder Jessie group. We aren’t from a big family and Isabella wasn’t a standout a student for most of her life. Her beating her brothers is something we couldn’t conceive of. Her fighting style has change over the years and from the looks of it. You must be the reason for it. With that we give our thanks.” The mother and father bow their heads to me. The father picks up his head and starts laughing. “You know, this little girl wanted to be a librarian. Our family is full of warriors, and she wanted to keep her head inside of books. We hope sending her to that school would make her a warrior, and it did. We give you thank again.” He pats his daughter on the back. Each slap makes a loud slapping noise.

Well, this is perfect. I grin. "That is a good thing. She can now be my secretary.” Both parents face darken. “Kid find someone else to sit on the sideline and look at books. Our daughter is a warrior. She is stronger than both of her brothers don’t let her lose the honor of battle.” The husband nods his head in agreement. I put up my hand, “Wait you misunderstood me. I need both warriors and other positions. Your daughter will fight in the upcoming battle, but I also need her to do other things. Is that ok with you?” They look at each other. Nodding. They put out their hands for me to shake. I shake both of their hands and we all said, “Deal.” Isabelle looks at me with a huge grin on her face. It seems I have agreed to her dream. The father walks up behind me and pats me on the back. “Young man stay for launch.” I nod in agreement. I don’t have to hurry going to their homes and talking to the family members will give me more insight into my team.
