Rescue Arc - Part 0

The morning sun gently peeked through Sean's bedroom window, casting a warm glow on the room. As the alarm clock blared, Sean jolted awake, rubbing his groggy eyes. His heart raced with excitement as he remembered what day it was—the day of his first special mission. Today, he would finally have the chance to exact his revenge on the heroes he swore to avenge for his father's death.

With adrenaline coursing through his veins, Sean jumped out of bed, not bothering to change out of his sleepwear. He glanced at the alarm clock, confirming it was 6:00 a.m. The red digital numbers glared back at him, urging him to hurry. He quickly checked the alarm, making sure it was set for the right time, and rushed out of his bedroom.

But just as he was about to enter the bathroom to take a quick shower, a knock echoed from the front door. Sean paused, puzzled. Who could it be at this early hour? "Who is there?" he called out, curious and cautious.

A gentle yet familiar woman's voice floated through the door. "It's me, Sean." The voice belonged to Sarah, the woman whom Sean considered his new guardian, someone he saw as a mother figure. A smile instantly spread across his face, and all thoughts of his revenge momentarily faded away.

Sean hurried to the door, forgetting about his lack of proper attire. He had hastily tied a towel around his waist, the only thing he could grab in his excitement. He swung the door open, revealing Sarah standing on the other side.

Sarah's eyes widened at the sight of Sean in his makeshift garment, but she quickly composed herself, her lips curving into a gentle smile. She understood the boy's eagerness and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness deep within. She longed for him to find purpose and happiness beyond his thirst for vengeance.

"Good morning, Sean," Sarah greeted, stepping into the room. "What has you so excited this early?"

Sean's eyes gleamed with determination as he looked up at Sarah. "Today, Sarah, today is the day I finally get my revenge against those heroes who killed my dad," he declared with a mix of anger and anticipation.

Sarah's smile wavered, replaced by a tinge of concern. She knew the importance of letting Sean find closure, but she also understood the dangers of letting his hatred control him. She gently guided Sean to sit on his bed, wanting to talk some sense into him before he embarked on his mission.

"Sean, revenge is a powerful motivator, but it can also cloud your judgment," Sarah said, her voice filled with empathy. "You must be careful. The mission you're about to undertake is dangerous. Don't let your anger control you. It's important to keep a clear mind."

Sean nodded, understanding the weight of Sarah's words. He had learned from past mistakes and knew the importance of staying focused. "You're right, Sarah. I won't let my anger blind me this time. I'll be careful."

A relieved smile graced Sarah's face. She believed in Sean's potential and wanted him to succeed, not just in seeking revenge but also in finding a purpose beyond it. "That's what I want to hear, Sean. Now, get ready. I'm going to take you to the location where you and your two friends will receive the final briefing before the mission."

Excitement surged through Sean's veins once more. He hopped off the bed and gave Sarah a quick nod. "Yes, I'm ready. I'll be quick." With that, he headed towards the bathroom, determined to prepare himself for the day that could change his life forever.

As Sean disappeared into the bathroom, Sarah stepped outside the room, leaning against the wall. She knew the path Sean had chosen was treacherous, but she also knew he needed closure. She silently wished for his safety, hoping that one day, he would find solace and peace beyond his thirst for revenge.

....Few minutes later .....

Sean emerged from the bathroom, now dressed in a simple yet functional outfit suited for his upcoming mission. He found Sarah waiting patiently by the door, her expression a mix of concern and determination. As he approached her, he could sense her unwavering support and her desire for his safety.

"Ready to go, Sean?" Sarah asked, her voice filled with a blend of maternal care and professional urgency.

Sean nodded, his eyes burning with determination. "I'm ready, Sarah. I won't let my emotions get the best of me. I'll focus on the mission and make sure it's carried out successfully."

Sarah smiled, her hand gently resting on Sean's shoulder. "I know you will, Sean. Just remember, revenge can consume us if we let it. Don't lose sight of who you are and what truly matters."

Sean absorbed her words, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. He had spent years harboring anger and grief, vowing to avenge his father's death. But Sarah's guidance and unwavering support had opened his eyes to the potential for something greater—a chance to find justice, closure, and perhaps even redemption.

They made their way outside, where a sleek black vehicle awaited them. The driver's seat was occupied by a man named Rex, an experienced agent and mentor who would accompany Sean on his mission. Sarah introduced him to Sean and also tells him that " Agent Rex is going to be with you guys as backup and that he will always be on standby to support the three of you anytime you guys encounter a problem that is too big for the three of you to handle"

Hearing this Sean nodded is head Yes , and look towards the direction of Agent Rex and greeted him, After they had finished with the introduction and had enter the car together ,Rex drove the car to take them to the location of the meeting.

The car eventually pulled up to a secure facility nestled in a remote part of the city. Sean, Sarah and Rex exited the vehicle, greeted by Susan and Peter who had came early and were waiting for them at the front of the building.

" You are late " Said Susan

" Or you meant you came too early " said Sean with a smirk in his face.

Then Sean looks toward Peter direction and said "Did you miss me that much ,that you decided yo wait for me outside that's gross bro " while giving our a disgusted face gesture.

" Who will miss you idiot " said Peter with blushe shown all over his face.

"Sarah did he just blush over this , Yuck " Said Sean while feeling irritated the more , hearing this Sarah just laughed outloud unable to contain her laughter anymore.

" Let's quickly get in before we will be late ,I don't Have time for this shenanigans " said Sean as he hurried into the building, then the others follow suite too.
