#multiple agent phoenixes

I am unwell about these two. Depending on the AU/Alternate Timeline, their motivation on becoming Agent Phoenix is

Main Timeline - Florian Timeline: She meets Ameri during high school and has a normal college life. Marries Ameri in later on. Stuff happens and her interference when she was a civilian led to a cover up. Looking into what happened caused her to join the agency.

Radio Host AU - Florian Point of Divergence: College. She joined the student radio and started speaking up about corruption. Almost got killed for it but the agency stepped in to rescue her as her main target was Zoraxis.

Candlelight Timeline - Ameri Point of Divergence: High school. For context: Their school puts students into "blocks" or "sections" and in this one, Ameri and Florian were assigned different ones. (Candlelight's point of divergence runs a bit earlier in the timeline but we're talking about who ended up as Phoenix here.)

Smitten Timeline - Ameri Point of Divergence: The cover up. Ameri made a different choice that kept him in the field instead of the administrative side like in the main timeline. How that happened is still tentative.

Evil!Handler Timeline #1 - Florian Point of Divergence: Unknown but Florian never met Ameri at any time at all. She was found in the list of people related to former agents and was recruited not long after.

As Agent 13-12 (alias Firelight, also known as Florian) looked out the window with a wry smile as they felt the subtle breeze on their face. "It's game night. It's been a while but Pea's off on their own adventure."

Agent Bluenix (Nix for short), went up to them with a pack of cards. "You miss them too, Ate?"

"Yeah. I really do. But it's a journey they have to take." Florian turned to the ginger with a wry smile. "Doesn't stop me from missing them." They held out a hand for Nix to pull them up from their seat. "Thanks." Their eyes softened more as they walked towards the crowd of agents who were gathering on the board games.

Agent Typhoon and Agent Wraith were playing cards, with Typhoon at a disadvantage if the look on his face were in any indication.

"Well, seems like we're all here, do we start our card game?" Agent Ichor looked at the pair with a smile. "Or something else tonight? You look a bit sad, Florian."

13-12 looked away and just sat down beside him before they hugged him. "I need a hug."

Ichor looked at Nix with a look. "Group hug?"

Nix gave a nod before joining in on the hug. "Group hug."

Here we go!

@neurotonic, I hope it's fine to do this...

To be honest, I wanted to draw my Phoenix accidentally stumbling and knocking into your Phoenix in the jeepney ride. (Kaskasero yung driver. XD) But I know my current limits so sitting beside each other in the jeepney ride it is.

@bowehbowah, please welcome this.

I don't know much about your Phoenix but I can see the pair chatting about some experiences during merienda. (Mine and yours seem to have a complicated relationship with fast food mascots of all things. Mine loves the food in Jollibee but can't ever forget what the mascot did back then.)

@agent-nor (Choosing this one to tag because it's focused on IEYTD stuff), then I'll take that permission! :D

When you mentioned "rarely been in contact with his family", my mind immediately raced to "mine also is in low contact with their family", and thus, this exchange. I was thinking this was in some kind of park where mine is curling up on some steps above him while he remained standing.

"Nangungulila" is a bit of a hard to translate term (for me) as it can mean "miss" but it feels more like "longing" is closer in meaning for me. It has the root word "ulila" which is translated to "orphan" but can also mean "lonely" or "alone". "Kuya" is the common term used to refer to an older brother.

TL:DR They're asking him if he missed them or if he feels lonely due to the fact they're not talking to their respective families. (Mine had a decent relationship with their immediate family but went low contact because of how dangerous espionage is.)

I had a lot of fun drawing these. :D I hope I get more energy and time to draw other people's Phoenixes soon enough since there are so many cool interpretations of our favorite chaotic agent.

"You know, as spies, we're quite terrible when it comes to finding each other." Florian jests, a wry smile on her face as she looked around a lower floor, noting the lack of people.

"You're the one who didn't have a signal. Where were you?" Leo, also known as 043, texts back, also looking around for their siblings. "I can't seem to see you."

"I was at the basement. You can't hear me? I was calling for you." Florian, also known as Agent 13-12, headed up the stairs to the side, choosing to leave the dark basement area for practice as there was no one there, even with night vision on.

"I can't hear you, Ate. What do you mean?" Trevor, also known as Agent Wyvern, texts back, confusion clearly taking hold. "I can't see 043 either."

"Well, I'm loud enough the ushers are now looking at me." Florian looked awkward, carefully giving a wave as she headed up to a balcony view to take a picture and sent a view. "I'm on the bay 6 balcony. Near the railing?"

"Well, I'm there and you aren't here." Leo texted back, sending a photo for good measure.

Trevor also sent a photo showing the exact same view.

Silence flooded the group chat before Leo broke the silence.

"I'm in Wy's universe. We always go there."

"... I'm at yours, 043. I did ask if we can watch a theater play."

"I'm at yours, Ate. You're the one inviting us."

Florian can't help but laugh at the sheer absurdity of the situation.

"... My bad. I guess I should have specified which universe. I thought you two got late because of missions. I didn't think either of you will come."

"In my defense, I didn't see the text until after I came back from a mission, 13. I went as soon as I could."

"I did the same, Ate!"

"Whose universe are we going to so we can meet up?" Florian headed to somewhere less crowded to laugh the embarrassment off.

"How about yours? After all, you're the one invited us." Trevor replied, taking a seat near where they are. "I'll wait for you both here. Same spot!"
