You're slouched in a chair in The Handler's office. Five is sat on the other chair and on the opposite side of the desk sat The Handler with an annoying grin as she watched you and Five like a hawk while slurping on her drink loudly which made your jaw tick with annoyance
"And that's how Phil determined that the archduke just had to go. Care for dessert?" The Handler offers. You must have been in a trance as you didn't realise she was telling you a story
"Nah, i'm good" You decline shaking your hand and readjusting your hips on the chair
"I had a bad Twinkie in the apocalypse once. It kind of put me off desserts." Five also declines putting down his cup of what was once filled with water.
"Please, you two, indulge me." The Handler insists
"Okay" You murmur under your breath. Five hands you a sweet with a wrapper. You nod your head as a thank you and you both unwrap your sweet. Five bites straight into it as you decide to let the taste melt in your mouth. The Handler lights a cigarette and leans back in her chair watching as your eyes light up from the satisfying taste filling your mouth.
"What's that taste like to you two?" She questions
"1950s?" You question confused as Five nods his head
"Preciously right. Our clever metaphysics division concocted a way to perfectly distill an entire decade into a single candy. This one's modelled after the Fudge Mutt, America's favourite in 1955." The Handler explains picking up a sweet and looking at the title
"Remarkable." Five comments
"You'll be happy to know it's the very division that's building you both a new body. Oh, that reminds me. I have something for you two. Carla?" The Handler calls as she presses a button speaking into her speaker
"Yes?" You're assuming Carla spoke through the intercom
"Would you bring the box in, please?" The Handler orders softly
"Certainly" Carla complies and you and Five turn your heads towards the door hearing footsteps approaching. The door opened revealing Carla with short hair, curls at the end. An old hairstyle like the 80's she wore the same uniform as Dot and red lipstick. She brought in a large box and gently placed it on the desk and leaving without uttering a word. You and Five both stand up and approach the box. The Handler leans on her desk beside you
"Go ahead. Open it. Clothes make a man and woman, Five, Y/n. Won't it be nice when you can actually wear it? Very soon, I assure you. They're perfecting your bodies as we speak." The Handler assures as the box reveals a blue suit and a blue dress...the uniform of the commission. You frowned as you hated the design
"Thanks" You act grateful
"Thank you. It's a very kind gift." Five thanks The Handler closing the box. Your head turns towards the display at the back of The Handler's office
"Is that a Chinese flamethrower?" You question as you walk up to it
"Good eye. War. Such a fascinating concept" The Handler says walking up to you Five following her action
"Mhm" You hum as you inspect the flamethrower. You've always been a fan of history. It's the only GCSE subject you passed and got a A+ on.
