Aster entered Captain Black's office.

"A little birdie told me you wanted to talk to me?" - A

"Yes. I figured that since you've built such an impressive team, you might need another trainer." - Black

"Oh, Black, if you want to help, you can just say so." - A

"Not me. Meet Agent Tag." - Black

He said as a man revealed himself, he'd been hiding behind Aster. He was pretty startled since he didn't even notice him.

"Oh, uh, hi..." - A

"Full name, Taggart McStone. He was our top agent until he retired last year. He's volunteered to help mentor your team." - Black

"A pleasure to meet you in person. I've heard great things about you." - Tag

He offered Aster a handshake, which he accepted. After a bit more chatter, the two left the room to discuss the details.

"So, what's your specialty?" - A

"I was the top spy before I retired. So I have various skills under my belt. Disguises, knife throwing, acting, improvisation, close quarters combat, marksmanship, dancing, criminology, and interrogation are just a few of my skills." - Tag

He bragged. Aster could tell he had a pretty big ego. But he seemed harmless...

"That's really impressive. We have a lot to learn from you. And hopefully, you have a lot to learn from us too." - A

He said as he brought him to one of the main rooms that the team gathered in. Tohru was serving Lo Pei and Uncle some tea, Xu Lin and Jade were playing hide and seek with Gnome Cop, and Viper was enjoying a few romance novels on the couch.

"Everyone! Meet our latest recruit, Agent Tag." - A

Viper closed her book in surprise.

"The Agent Tag?" - Viper

"You know this guy?" - Jade

"He's a legend in the spy world. We've had a few run ins over the years." - Viper

"And yet, you always managed to elude my grasp, Lady Viper." - Tag

Jade looked between the two before whispering to Xu Lin.

"I think they have chemistry." - J

'Chemistry?...' - Xu Lin

She thought to herself in confusion.

"Anyways! Try to be welcoming. We'll be able to start our new training once Jackie gets back from his mission." - A

They nodded as Tag went to meet the team. Aster joined Uncle and Lo Pei for tea and the three discussed the rejuvenation capabilities of Chi.

Jackie eventually returned, covered in dust and carrying a black box.

"What happened to you?" - J

She asked curiously.

"The temple collapsed with me inside. But I was able to secure this! The Cat of Khartoum!" - JC

He opened the box to reveal a black cat statue.

"...it's...a cat." - J

She said, feeling disappointed.

"It's a very lovely statue." - Xu Lin

"Things are often not what they seem." - Lo Pei

"This things definitely got some magic in it." - A
