Raph looked over his latest orders statement again as he sat in his car waiting for the gates to open. "Proceed to Conference Room 2B to discuss new route and co-workers," it read. Oh great... Like I need a new parter. More like a babysitter I'm sure, he thought. Raph had already offended or otherwise chased off pretty much every available partner in the Bureau, so he wondered who they thought they could tack onto him this time. The gates to the Waste Managment compound in Newark, New Jersey opened up before him and he drove though. Not many people knew that this was actually the headquarters for the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defence for which he worked, and they planned on keeping it that way. After parking and passing through a multitude of security and identification checks he was in the heart of the facility. He worked his way down to 2B and stood in front of the door for a moment. This oughta be fun, he scoffed to himself as he adjusted his tie and entered the room.

*Atlantis sat quietly in room 2B, staring rather blankly at the opposite wall. Half of her attention was focused on the conversation of the few men in the room, and the other half was wondering about why she was here... She hoped she was finally going to be involved in something interesting. She hadn't been allowed to participate in Bureau affairs until she was 16, and since then, they had only let her do minor things like sort through the memories of certain people or beings for information the Bureau needed. Her train of thought was broken as the door finally opened. Another man entered the room, and Atlantis immediately gave him her usual gentle smile, despite the fact that the emotions this man radiated weren't exactly the happiest ones...*

Raph walked into the room and looked around to see who was present. Immediately his attention was captured by the odd looking girl that stood toward the back of the room. "Good morning Raphael," he was greeted. "Oh ya, how ya' doin'?" he answered distractedly in his thick New York accent. "Who's the girl?" he asked quietly, still half-staring, intrigued especially by her unique eyes. "That's your new partner," the older man told him matter-of-factly. "What?!" Raph asked, snapping out of his semi-trance. "Sit down everyone, and let's talk," the man responded merrily.

*Atlantis stared at this new man rather curiously, wondering what exactly was going through his mind as he stared at her with those piercing green eyes. She briefly glanced at the other man before immediately doing as he asked, obediently and quietly taking a seat. She was beginning to feel quite uncomfortable and wondered if this was such a good idea... This Raphael didn't seem to like the idea of having her for a partner. However, she tried not to show how nervous she was about this, remaining silent as both men took their seats. She avoided looking at Raphael, keeping her bright blue eyes focused on the other man instead. Well... I did want to be involved in something interesting... And this should certainly be interesting, to say the least...*

Raph pulled out a chair and flopped down into his seat casually. "So what's this all about, chief?" "Calm yourself, Raphael. I'm getting to that. First though, I believe that introductions are in order. Inspector Raphael Volpino, meet Atlantis." Raph turned to look at the girl again. He still wasn't sure what to think of her just yet. She just better be able to keep up. Last thing I need is somebody holding me back. Though it probably couldn't be any worse than that last guy. Sheesh... He stuck his hand out to offer a handshake to his new partner. "Pleasure ta meet-cha."

*Atlantis smiled, glad to see that her new partner wasn't extremely rude at least. After a brief moment of hesitation, she placed her hand in his, gently shaking his hand.* "Likewise..." *A bit more comfortable now, she withdrew her hand before shifting her gaze again.* "So...? What's going on, sir?" *She was unable to keep a little bit of eagerness from her tone as she stared at the man expectantly, briefly glancing at Raphael.*

The older man smiled at Atlantis. "My, my. You two are both quite eager. Alright then, I won't digress any longer. There has been a series of thefts in several museums all around the world. At first, they did not seem to be connected to each other, however, as the situation developed, we realized that each of the thefts were of artifacts believed to be from around the same time in Ancient Egypt. Our agents believe that they have found a pattern in the incidents and predict that the next museum to be hit is located in New York City." Raph smirked at the mention of his hometown and was silently a little excited to be able to return there. The older man continued to brief them and gave them the details of their trip and the sting operation of sorts that they were to carry out. "Now then, are there any questions?" the older man asked. Raph shook his head and looked over to Atlantis.

Just then a man walked through the door and asked to speak with the old man talking to both Atlantis and Raph. He was a tall man, and he looked to be somewere in his 30's. He leaned over to talk to the old man and whispered into his ear for a few moments. He then walked over to Atlantis and Raph and said.
"Hello my name is Marius de Romanus, I will be working with you on this case."
Marius smiled at them both, hoping to make a good impression on them both.

Coming into the room behind Marius was his partner Reiko Mouryou. "Marius don't you mean us?" Reiko was a tall ghostly looking man. He stood over all others in the room. Looking at Marius Reiko says " Tell them about the mission."

"Oh so very sorry Reiko.......This is my partner Reiko. Don't let his ugly face scare you.... *Marius looks toward the floor.* "You get us to it after a year or two. Well I'm off to get suited up. Our old man has already told them about the mission Reiko"
*Marius then walked out of the room and down the hall to the locker room.*

*Atlantis glanced over at her new partner and couldn't help but giggle softly at the confusing situation. She found it all rather amusing. She shrugged lightly.* "The more the merrier..." *She stood up from her seat, gently brushing a few of her blue-black curls from her eyes.* "Anyway, I don't have any questions, sir. I just want to get started as soon as possible." *She smiled warmly, glad that she was finally getting some real work... She rarely ever got out of the bureau considering her odd appearance and how young she was.*

Raph's head was just about spinning trying to keep track of all the comings and goings. Regaining his composure, he took a look at his watch to see that they had about two hours before their transport would leave. He got up and sauntered down to the locker room to grab his equipment. Always having preferred the path of the lone wolf, Raph was a little upset about his current situation. Three partners now?! What are they trying to do, smother me? I don't think I'd mind working with that purple girl much... she at least seemed pretty interesting... but this?! I'm not going to be able to work like this... Finishing up and checking his watch again, he realized that he still had plenty of time left to kill so he decided to stop by the in-house shooting range and clear his head. Checking each of his custom double pistols he snapped a few fresh clips in and squeezed off a few rounds. The rythmic blasts of noise and their accompanying jolts of recoil were like therapy for him. He emptied both clips into the paper at the end of the hall and then reeled it in to see how he did. The bullet holes were evenly split between very accurate hits to the head and heart of the figure on the sheet, with the exception of one that clipped the left shoulder. Dammit! Stress must be gettin' to me...

*Atlantis' smile faded slightly from her lips as her new partner left the room. She briefly glanced at the other man in the room.* "Are you so sure this is going to work? I mean, he doesn't seem to be happy about all of this..." *The man stood from his chair and walked to the door.*
"Just give him some time. He'll get used to it."
*Atlantis sighed as he left. The feelings she sensed from him told her that he wasn't so sure about that. Oh well... I suppose I'll just have to make the best of the situation. Atlantis left the room, heading for her own chambers. After closing the door behind her, she began going through her belongings, searching for something more suitable to wear than her usual dresses. After changing, she began roaming the halls rather aimlessly, waiting anxiously for the time when she would be able to get out of this place. Her hands in her pockets, she walked slowly and quietly, her feet barely making a sound on the hard floors. She nodded to the occasional agent or two as she passed them. One of them, however, stopped to talk for a moment.*
"Hey, Atlantis... I hear they finally hooked you up with a partner. No more playing psychic around here huh?"
*Atlantis just nodded with a smile.*
"Well good luck... I just saw your new buddy down at the firing range... Seems like a handful..."
*With that, he laughed and just continued on his way. Atlantis stood there for a moment before deciding that she would just have to see for herself... A little reluctantly, she turned and made her way to the firing range...*

Raph looked up from the target sheet to find Atlantis standing a few feet away. "Hey... What's happening?" he called over to her, removing the ear-protectors and safety glasses that he was wearing. He tried to present a warm outward appearance but he was a little agitated on the inside and a bit of it showed through despite his efforts. "You all set to go?"

*Atlantis was a little uneasy although she tried not to show it. After all, this man probably had no clue what she could sense from him and it was most likely best to leave it that way for a while. She managed a gentle smile and nodded although she remained quiet, not sure of what to say to him.*
