**Its been 3 hours since Mika was driving and they we're finally seeing the Iceland gates.**
*As they arrived*
Guard: "Name and Permit please."
Mika: "Mika, I am here with my friends. And here is my permit." *Shows permit*
Guard: *checks permit*
?: "No need to check them Earl. They're with me."
Guard: "Huh?" *Turns* "O-Oh! Miss Izumi! Sure! I wont disturb you all any further. Yall can go on your way."
Athena: "Mother!!" *Gets out of car to hug her.*
Izumi: "Oh Athena! You sure have grown a lot!"
Athena: "Mother i visited you barely one month ago..."
Izumi: "And? That doesnt mean i can't say that about you!"
Mika: "Greetings Miss Izumi!"
Traveler: "Hello..?"
Izumi: "Hi there Mika! I'm assuming that's your friend?"
Mika: "Yes! You can call him Traveler. Me and Athena found him by the beachside in Duran."
Izumi: "Oh yes i am aware of that. Its just now that i get to see the person. Follow me towards the 'Tea Party' HQ. We shall talk there."
*Athena came back inside the car as Izumi started flying releasing blood particles behind her while holding her Scythe.*
Mika: "Wow. First time i saw your mother flying."
Athena: "Yeah right! She's so cool!"
Traveler: "That's your mother!? Damn!"
Athena: "Complaints?"
Traveler: "N-no! Not at all! That's just out of big surprise!"
**After they reached the HQ. The others get out of the car as Izumi awaits them.**
?: "Welcome boss! Everything was prepared as you said!"
Izumi: "Thank you. Take a day off. You earned it."
?: "Its really no need boss... I'm just doing my job.."
Izumi: "Its on me. Don't worry :) ."
*Then they head inside*
Izumi: "Do you prefer stairs? The elevator is broken still.. because someone did not repair it yet!"
*The 3 men in the corner drinking their coffee immediatelly become frightened and get to work.*
Izumi: "Anyways follow me. Fly if yall want on the stairs. It will take a lot of time."
*At the 16th floor*
Izumi: *opens office door.*
Mika: "Wow this is huge!"
Izumi: "Yep! This is my own office here. Have a seat. I will bring yall some coffee."
Traveler: "Make it a tea for me. I am not really drinking coffee.."
Izumi: "Got it! I'll be back in no time. Athena, would you mind getting those documents from the top shelf over there and put them on my desk? I need to work on these asap as i finish this."
Athena: "You got it Mom!"
*Both get to work.*
Traveler: "Psst. Hey Mika, have you seen her mother before..? Just asking from curiousity."
Mika: "Me? Umm yes i did! She's awesome. Just wait until you see her in combat. She is a force to be reckoned with. She used to rule Iceland before."
Traveler: "Before...? Who rules it now?"
Mika: "P-"
Izumi: "The President! Jess is her name! I am the Vice President here. And i once ruled this Nation as Mika says. Also sorry for eavesdropping but here is your coffee and tea."
Mika: "Thanks Miss!"
Traveler: "Thank you."
Izumi: "No problem. Its my pleasure to server guests."
Athena: "Done mom! They were heavy tho..."
Izumi: "Oh sure they are.. you see.. i am not that free as you think.. and i have lots of stuff to do."
Mika: "You sure work a lot.."
Izumi: "Oh this old mother of 2 worked here for the past 4 centuries.."
Mika: "4- 4 CENTURIES!?"
Traveler: "Wow! You must be really committed to this job then!"
Izumi: "I used to be. But by now its getting more boring as time passes. But! I lived way longer than i worked soooo... I cannot complain."
Traveler: "How old are we talking here..?"
Mika: *nudges and whispering* "That's rude man!"
Izumi: "Oh asking my age now..? How curious you are. You see son.. i am over 1300 years old."
Traveler: "Wow.. that's a lot.. cannot deny it!"
Athena: "Mhmm! And its not actually that she is just immortal. You see my mother looks very young if you compare my looks with hers. But she alongside being immortal ages slowly of sorts. You see. Even while being an immortal mother's face still changes.. but its been 300 years at best since i could possibly see a difference."
Izumi: "Oh you flatter me.."
Traveler: "Umm excuse me Miss Izumi.. but i have one question.. have you heard of the Shadow Fighters organization..?"
Izumi: "Yes? What information do you seek about them?"
*The Traveler explains to Izumi what he witnessed in an alley a couple days ago.*
Izumi: "Hmm.. I'm guessing you're speaking of the boss. Yes. I actually keep contact with her sometimes. Her name is Hinako. She is 20 but still a woman like me for her age. She loves torturing criminals.. but again she and her team catch strong criminals.. so they are really not to be messing with. Not for me. But just for others in general."
Mika: "I am aware too. I have met one of her companions last year."
Athena: "I have a friend there. His name is Chris."
Izumi: "You mean the boy that delivers packages here usually? That boy is trembling hard when i am around. I'm guessing he knows i am your mother. Unless you told him."
Athena: "Oh i did tell him. *giggles* i like when he trembles.. he knows if he hits me what happens."
Izumi: "Hmmph... Anyways yall i shall start working on my paperwork! Come and visit me any time! Also Traveler.. here is my business card in case you ever want to give a call."
Traveler: "Thanks Miss! I'll make sure to keep it safe."
Athena: "Alright then mother! We're going! Have fun and a good night! Make sure to sleep too!"
Izumi: "I will. I for sure will.."
*They left*
Izumi: *sheds a tear* "How much she has grown..."
