The night settled over the grand administration building of Sudan, a modern mansion that served as both home and headquarters for Guardia in the region. Elena, having moved in recently, marveled at the luxurious yet functional design. As she wandered through the expansive rooms, she couldn't help but feel a mix of intimidation and infatuation, especially when encountering the waifu generals who seemed to be lifted straight from an anime.
Elena: (awkwardly) Uh, Alex... are they real?
Alex: (grinning) Real as it gets. They're like living anime characters. Have you watched any anime before?
Elena, still processing the surreal scene, engaged in a conversation with Zero, one of the generals.
Elena: (confused) So, you're like anime role players or something?
Zero: (smirking) You could say that, in a way. Anime has influenced our personalities and appearances. It's part of what makes Guardia unique.
Her conclusion somewhat put at ease, Elena began to feel a tinge of insecurity. Alex, noticing her unease, approached with comforting words.
Alex: (gentle) Elena, you've got nothing to worry about. You're beautiful just the way you are. And hey, you're part of our story now.
However, Elena struggled with imposter syndrome, feeling unworthy of the lavish lifestyle and the affection of someone like Alex. Determined to be open, she decided to reveal more about herself, starting with her unique abilities.
Elena: (nervous) Alex, there's something I need to tell you. I have powers. It's like... I can manipulate electricity and even see things remotely. It's strange, but it's part of who I am.
The revelation caught both Alex and the waifu generals off guard – a rare occurrence. Alex pondered aloud, wondering if there were others like her in the world. Elena, surprising him, acknowledged that every powerful nation often had individuals with extraordinary abilities, ranging from EMP-like powers to scrying.
Alex: (intrigued) I have powers too, but it's... complicated. I can summon things, heal from almost any wound, and more. There's a lot I haven't told you.
He chose not to divulge the full extent of his abilities, opting to keep some details shrouded. Despite his growing affection for Elena, Alex found himself grappling with lingering trust issues.
In the midst of this conversation, a summons burst into the room with urgent news – a large covert force from Russia was making its way into Sudan. The room tensed, and Alex's focus shifted from personal matters to the looming threat on the horizon.
Alex: (serious) We'll continue this later. Right now, we have more pressing matters to handle.
