((Whoever wants to start Hemington can join this thread.))
Nancy turned around as the taxi screeched away. Her green eyes searched her surroundings. A small, well trimmed lawn was in front of an average sized house. It looked about two stories high and she could see a tall fence in the back of the house. The side of the house had a drivewway large enough for maybe two cars.
It didn't look like anybody lived there so Nancy glanced back down at the piece of paper in her hand. Then she looked at the black lettering on the mailbox. It was the right address.
She shrugged her shoulders and began dragging her suitcase behind her as she walked up the path from the road to the door as she fished through her purse for a key. Once found, she stuck the metal bit into the doorknob and unlocked the house.
Once inside, she shut the door and yelled, "Is anybody home?" Then she sneezed as the dust in the air assaulted her nostrils.

Cristina yawned quietly as she waited for something exciting or different to happen. She had been in the place for two hours now, and it was getting to her on how empty it was. She hadn't bothered looking around to see if anyone else was in the house, so for all she knew, she could already have a roommate and not realize it.
A couple minutes later, she heard someone ask if anyone was home. "Yeah, sure. If you'd call it home." She rolled her eyes slightly at the house; it wasn't really something she was looking forward to living in.
(OOC: Now I have that song stuck in my head...It's the start of something new, it feels so right to be here with you....Thanks...XD)

((Anytime. ;D))
Nancy sneezed again and then heard the voice. Okay, so there are people living here. They're either poor or lazy to leave this house in such a mess. She then sneezed a third time and began waving her hand in front of her face, trying to get rid of the dust.
She managed to yell, "Uh, okay. Um, is this the right address that SPECTER assigned me to?" She yeled to the unknown and unseen voice. Then she palmed her forehead. Great. Just great. What if that person didn't know what SPECTER was and I just gave away my secret? She had just started her cover and already it was blown.
Then she sneezed again.

Maya climbed off the bus and glanced around nervously. She wasn't exactly sure what she was doing past finding the house listed on the piece of paper in her hands. Her life as she knew it was gone. Again. But this time, there was no one there for her. She was alone.
She hoped there were some people on her new team that she could soon call friends, or this would even be more difficult. But it would be worth it if she could protect people... and maybe even the world.
She spotted the address and felt butterflies in her stomach as she headed up the walk. She was given a key... it was in her pocket... but it felt strange walking into a house she'd never been in and acting like it as immediately her own. So, she knocked, and waited...

Cristina raised an eyebrow. "Is this the right address for who-what?" She smirked. "Come on in. Sorry this place is a mess. I can't do it on my own. I have no idea where any of the cleaning supplies are."
Cristina stood up. "Bless you," she said when the girl sneezed. "Here, have a seat. Let me make you some tea, you sound awful." Cristina walked to the kitchen, an area she had started cleaning, so at least the countertops were clear. She grabbed a cup and looked at it. It looked clean and she knew there was tea sitting at the top of the fridge. Reaching up, she held onto a packet as she heated the water in the microwave. A minute later, she had the tea and was handing it to the girl when someone knocked.
"I'll get that," Cristina offered. Opening the door, she blinked. It was a blond woman. "Yes, may I help you?" She half-smiled as she spoke.

"Um, is this the right address?" Maya asked when the other woman opened the door. She handed the paper over to her, showing her the directions from SPECTER. "I'm looking for my new home, I guess..."
She glanced inside the door, noticing the other girl as well, giving a bit of a wave. "...and my new team, too." She added, realizing these two and possibly more, were people she was going to be spending a lot more time around.

Jake whistled as he strutted down the driveway. This isn't too bad. He reached the doorway and saw two women standing there talking. "Oh, don't let me interrupt. I was...you know...enjoying the view," he chuckled as he looked away from the house.
Glancing to the left slightly, Jake asked, "So. Is this the address a mutual acquaintance told us about? Or is it three doors down?" He pointed to the right and raised an eyebrow.

Whew! I think I'm safe. This girl seems to know about SPECTER. Without my help. Okay. That's good. "Thank you," she said as she fished around in her purse for a Kleenex. When she found one, she blew her nose and sat down in the seat offered to her. Soon, she recieved a cup of tea. "Thanks again," she said in between sneezes. "Dust just upsets my allergies."
She glanced around the kitchen. The girl was right. There was evidence of cleaning. But there was still a lot of work to be done around the house, if the front room was any indication. Actually, the whole house might be okay if they could get rid of all of the dust and cobwebs.
Then there was a knock on the door. The girl went to answer it. Nancy sipped her tea and followed. hoping that fresh air could get rid of some of the dust.

Cristina smiled at the girl at the door as she looked at the directions. "Yeah, you came to the right place. Come in." She went to move out of the way only to find the sneezing girl behind me. "Oh!" She said, startled. "I'm sorry. Didn't see you there."
Cristina turned back and someone spoke behind the new girl. "Well, well. Looks like our first male recruit." She raised an eyebrow and said, "By view, you mean the outdoors, I hope."

Maya lifted an eyebrow at the new voice behind her, turning to spot the guy walking up to the house. Excuse me? Was this another team member? If he'd been trying to make a good impression, he'd failed already in Maya's eyes.
She just shook her head and stepped into the house, lugging her backpack with her. She glanced around, realizing how dusty the place was. "Wow, no wonder you're all sneezy in here... we've got some work to do..."

Jake heard the girl that had opened the door for the blond girl and he said, "Sure, let's go with that." He walked up to the door and then asked, "Can I come in?"
Jake checked his watch and then looked at the address. "I am at the right place after all!" He said excitedly and then walked inside. His eyes scanned the area. "Crap, this place is a mess. Okay, I will grab cleaning supplies and start work in the living room."

What a happy group I've been assigned too. Nancy thought. A girl was just ready to take care of everything. A guy was ready to start cleaning th eplace up. The other girl was ready as well. Not that Nancy wasn't, it just looked like she was going to be living with a group of beavers.
"How about introductions fisrt, before we start to clean this place up? My name is Nancy." She smiled and stuck one hand out. The other hand was used to hold the tea as she sipped it.

Cristina moved so everyone could come inside and one corner of her mouth lifted when they mentioned the house being a mess. It looked like her and the other girl were not alone on that subject. Then the girl she had been with a bit longer than the other two people, said that they should make introductions, and that her name was Nancy.
Cristina took the offered hand and shook it, saying, "My name's Cristina." Then she moved over to the side so other people could introduce themselves. She looked around to see where she should start.

Jake waited for Cristina to shake Nancy's hand and then went over and shook Nancy's hand, "My name's Jake. Nice to meetcha." Then he rubbed his hands together and said, "I see I'm the only guy here so far."
Jake thought a moment. "Which means I'll probably be in a room by myself. Won't that be fun?" He turned to the other girl, "And you are?"

"Oh, sorry! That totally slipped my mind!" Maya stuck out her hand to shake Nancy's. "I'm Maya. Nice to meet all you guys. Are you all... did you all get... that power?"
She glanced in the direction of the hallway at Jake's mention of the rooms. "Hmm, has anyone looked around yet? How many rooms are there in this house in total?"
