[POV Reo]
I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt someone wrap around their arms around my right arm while the same person laid down her head on my shoulder and moaned in satisfaction.
I looked down and saw Dora had already closed her eyes and most probably she was already asleep. She has been really excited since yesterday and wasn't able to sleep last night. She must have been really tired… I mused and started to caress Dora's hair… she cuddled closer to me.
She has been so excited that even getting tripped everywhere didn't ruin it for her. She was giddy like a small kid and she demanded that she should be the one to get the window seat. This wasn't the first time she was traveling via plane but she would never expect anything other than the window seat.
Yesterday has been a tiring day for her, at first, Fury raised hell in the morning. Thankfully Dora was able to avoid most of the tasks because she needed to prepare everything for her mission but it still wrecked her nerves.
After returning from her office she wasn't able to calm down because of her excitement and due to that, she failed to fall asleep. She was also busy secretly booking my seats beside her, she needed to do this carefully or SHIELD would have noticed. Nat had to help the poor girl...
I knew that this was going to be a really long flight. First, we were going to land in New Delhi and after that, we had to take another flight from New Delhi to Kolkata. Dora's mission was in Kolkata… this was also my first time visiting Kolkata.
There were still a few hours left before we were scheduled to land in New Delhi so I decided to set an alarm in my phone and closed my eyes too. The alarm woke me up, I opened my eyes slowly and felt that we were descending, we should be landing soon.
So, I gently shook Dora who woke up and started to rub her eyes cutely. "Are we there yet?" Dora asked in a sleepy tone.
"Yes, we are about to land" I said and Dora stretched her arms and yawned like a cat. Dora pecked me on the lips and started to stare outside the window.
After some time the plane finally landed and both of us exited the plane in an orderly fashion. After all, both of us were civilized people. Both of us arrived in the waiting area and decided to wait. Dora left after a few minutes, she needed to use some female facilities in the airport.
After she returned I left to bring ourselves some snacks. We enjoyed ourselves just sitting there and talking to each other but nobody around us looked towards Dora and me. I was using a strong notice-me-not along with anti-surveillance charms.
This way… no one would be able to record me or Dora. Our next flight was after three hours… we didn't even notice how the time passed and it was finally time to board. Once again, Dora claimed the window seat… well, I didn't mind her taking the window seat.
After another long flight, we finally arrived in Kolkata. When we finally arrived in Kolkata it was almost noon because of the time difference… we have flown for almost a full day. Both of us decided that it would be best if we took some rest before looking around.
Dora had already booked a room in The Oberoi Grand, Kolkata. This was currently the best hotel in Kolkata (A/N: ITC Royal Bengal wasn't there in the year 2004). We hailed a cab and after a long ride, we arrived in The Oberoi Grand. Dora showed the receptionist her passport so that she could claim her reserved room.
We finally arrived in our room but none of the staff noticed the fact that neither of us were carrying any luggage with us. As soon as Dora entered the room Dora threw herself on the bed and moaned in satisfaction.
"Looks like the bed is up to your satisfaction?" I asked her in an amused tone.
"Oh yes" Dora moaned and rolled in the bed. "This isn't comparable to anything we have in either Knox or our home in Elysium but after such a long journey… this is heaven" Dora said and kept rolling in the bed.
While Dora was busy checking the bed I made myself busy with another important task. I started to check if there was any kind of surveillance device in the room or not. When I was finally done, I was about to crash into the couch but stopped when I sensed that someone arrived right outside our door.
The person knocked on the door… it felt like the person teleported and there aren't a lot of people who could teleport. I looked through the peek hole and found The Ancient One was standing on the other side of the door in all of her bald glory.

I opened the door and gave her a blank stare. "I am really sorry for interrupting your vacation but may I come in?" the Ancient One asked and I stiffly nodded my head and invited her in.
"Who is it, Reo?" Dora's voice was heard.
"An acquintance" I said and only after a few moments Dora also joined us. I gestured the Ancient One towards the couch who nodded and sat down.
"Hello, I don't believe we have met… I am Tonks, the most awesome person you will ever meet" Dora said and extended her hand towards the Ancient One.
The Ancient One looked at Dora weirdly but still accepted her hand and shook it. "It's nice to meet you, Tonks, I am The Ancient One, Luna has told me about you" The Ancient One spoke with a thin smile on her face.
"All, good things I hope… I can't wait to meet The Ancient Two" Dora said in an excited tone. Both I and The Ancient One gave her weird looks now… I almost face-palmed myself.
"Dora, The Ancient One is a title, it is used to refer to the Sorcerer Supreme and there is no Ancient Two or Three" I said with a wry smile on my face.
"Oh… you should have said that sooner" Dora said and leaned back in the chair with a calm look on her face.
"So, why are you here?" I asked the Ancient One.
The Ancient One looked slightly nervous and fidgeted in her seat for a few seconds. "Some of my students have gone rogue" The Ancient One finished with a sigh.
I looked at her weirdly, does she think that I am going to her to control her students? "They plan to open Earth to other dimensions, for that purpose they have stolen a lot of artifacts from the Sanctums…" The Ancient One was saying but I decided to cut her off.
"You want me to stop them?" I asked the Ancient One who shook her head in denial.
"No, I will not ask you to do something like that. What I am asking of you is if we fail to stop them then can I depend on you to stop the other dimensions from destroying Earth?" The Ancient One asked me.
I decided to think about it first, well, what she is asking of me isn't something outrageous and I would have helped her with it even if she didn't ask for help. After all, Earth is my home and I would protect it obviously.
"Sure, I can help you with that" I said and the Ancient One released a huge sigh.
"I owe you one Itsuki Reo, if you ever need any help you can ask me" The Ancient One said in a relieved tone.
Hmm… there is nothing I should ask of her. Hmm… since she is the Sorcerer Supreme she must know a lot of spells and she must know a lot about enchanting… she could help Momo with the spaceship. Getting me a spaceship will also help me with getting stronger.
"…There is something you could help me with" I said and The Ancient One's interest piqued after hearing me.
"Do you know anything about making a spaceship?" I asked her bluntly and the Ancient One frowned after hearing my question…
