After a walk that took forever, he managed to find himself in the city that currently has no name. He walks around, as everyone else around him ignores him even though he is wearing full military gear, with a huge bookbag and multiple weapons. But, then again some people have mental body parts. He sighs, as he walks he finds a small bar. He walks in and goes to a booth far in the back of the bar, where he takes a seat and slips off his helmet.

(this is what Jager looks like in the story under his helmet. He is also 30 instead of 39 okay? okay)

He runs his hand through his hair, before walking up to the bar.

"Can I get you anything?" ask the bartender behind the counter.

"Ja, can I get a beer?" he ask. The bartender nods, as a weird menu pops up in front of Jager's eyes and shows his bank account. 500k Eddies. Which was odd, because he had 500k euros in his bank account back home. He decides not to question it, and instead goes back and takes his seat. He takes of sip of his beverage. He checks his bag and finds his old IPhone 8. He checks the date, as he sips his drink. January 12, 2076!?!?!?!?!? He spits out his drink, before choking a little bit. Everyone in the bar turns to look at him, before he puts his hand up, waving off any concern. He then throws his head into his seat, knowing that everything is about to be 100x more complicated. That's when suddenly, the bartenders walks up to him.

"Hey choom, those girls over there bought you this." He hands me another beer, as he uses his thumb to point at three different girls. Two he didn't recognize. One of them had odd colored skin and looked like she was 13. The other one had almost all white hair, which had him even more lost. But one, one face stood out to him within that group. Monika...

(Y'all should know who these people are)

(And the Monika 'IQ' Weiss)

He was shocked to see her in such relaxed clothes. It was rare for her to even dress like that at the base, but for her to be wearing it in public? Almost insane. Jager reached for his P12, hiding it under the table, as he waved the girls over. They, shockingly, wondered over to him. The moment they sat, Jager put his gun right into IQ's stomach.

"Monika, what a surprise to see you here." The other two girls pulled out guns themselves, as IQ reached for her P12, all of them aimed at him. A Mexican Dual in which Jager was all on his own.

"Marius...please put the gun down." IQ asked. Even if he felt like he hated her, he never fully could. No matter how hurt he was. He removed the gun, but they were all still trained on him. Suddenly the child like women speaks.

"Fuck, I thought we were about to start shooting!" She laughs out, loudly. Jager automatically does not like this girl.

"No, Monika wouldn't have let us." Spoke the white haired girl.

"So, I guess we are here...where's everyone else?" He asked Monika, wondering about his friends.

"I wish I knew, Marius... everyone started fighting guns were pulled. Shots were fired and in the chaos everyone ran off, towards Night City...this city." Marius just nods, as he sips on the drink the girls had bought him.

"So, who are they?" spoke Jager again. The loud girl then extended her hand.

"Rebecca!" Jager tried to shake it before Rebecca pulled it back. "Eh, nevermind, I don't know where your hands been." Before making a rapid up and down motion with her hands. Sadly, Jager was confused on what she meant. The white haired girl the speaks.

"Lucy." and that was it. Jager just nods, before coughing.

"Anyways... did you just wake up Marius?" Jager just nods to Monika's question.

"Oh Marius! You must be starving. Let's go to get something eat." she offers. This was odd. Different then how she acted before. Maybe see him again made her think about something that she had missed? But, no matter how nice she acted, he couldn't forget about that night...

*Six months prior*

Jager, Bandit and Blitz all sat around a circle, beers on their table. Bandit sat in front of the other two acting as the dealer as they played Blackjack. The rooms at Hereford Base were split up by CTU or by gender depending on the person and members from their CTU. Jager takes a small sip of his drink, before tossing down his cards. A 10 and a Ace for a 21. 

"Verdammt!" yelled Blitz as he tossed town his cards to reveal a 15. That's when the door to IQ room closed. They all turn to see her carrying her stuff.

"Hey, Monika, where you going?" asked Bandit, a cigarette hanging out his mouth.

"I'm leaving. Nighthaven offered me a chance to be Vice Head of their R&D." she spoke, no emotion behind her voice. Blitz spit out his drink.

"Huh? Monika you must be joking!" Blitz spoke, loudly, which was out of character for him.

"No, I'm not Elias. I wish you all luck." She then walked out. The boys sat there shocked. Both Bandit and Blitz then turned to Jager, as a tear rolled down his face... One of the only people the fully understood him...gone...

*Back to reality*

"Sure." He spoke, before downing his drink and slamming the bottle onto the table. They all got up and left, to get Jager a quick bite.
