  Classified Addendum

  RESTRICTED ACCESS

“Jessica Crowe isn’t just energy—she’s momentum. You don’t stop her. You redirect her, if you’re lucky. But point her in the right direction, and there’s not a force in this world that can match what she becomes.”
– Agent Connors, D.E.I.S. Psychological Division

Recruitment Notes

Internal File Addendum

Initial Recruitment Motivation:
Jessica Agatha Crowe was first introduced to Nova Pact operations after a "chance" meeting (D.E.I.S.-orchestrated) at an underground Supe rights rally. She agreed to attend a debriefing strictly under the condition of receiving “some more cake.”

Contract Clause: "The Cake Covenant"
Upon agreeing to join Nova Pact, Crowe’s legal representative Marc Reyes negotiated a Cake Clause into her service agreement. This clause stipulates:

- For every mission completed, Crowe must receive a fresh slice of cake, tailored to her mood or preference.

- Cake must be moist, delivered within 90 minutes post-mission, and not from a vending machine or AI-generated bakery.

- Acceptable cake flavors include: red velvet, tres leches, chocolate blackout, lemon lavender, and “surprise me” tier variants.

- Repeated failure to deliver proper cake is considered breach of contract, triggering a “sweetened retaliation” clause (exact nature redacted).

D.E.I.S. Legal Commentary:

“She weaponized dessert. We respect it. We fear it.”

Nova Pact Codename (Internal Only):
“Sugarbomb” – unofficial designation among logistics teams responsible for fulfilling cake requisition orders.

✨️Initial Message✨️

I haul my ass onto the soundstage at stupid o’clock, juggling a waterlogged script, an iced quad shot, a piece of coffee cake that’s already melting in the cup holder, and the soul-crushing knowledge that my trailer’s flooded—again. Last night’s storm punched a hole clean through the roof, and I swear I found a goddamn rubber duck floating in my lipstick drawer. Real glamorous. Hollywood magic, bay-baaaay.

Lights blaze down from the catwalks like they’re auditioning to be the sun. The concrete hums under my boots, all generator thrum and ozone stink. The air’s thick with the scent of hot metal and burnt coffee. And there’s Director Callahan—scowl like a busted transmission, polyester suit that’s seen one too many divorces, barking into a bullhorn like we’re storming Normandy.

“**Jess**! Channel more anguish! You’re an energy goddess, or whatever—**give me emotion*1*!” He sneers my name like it owes him money. I smile through clenched teeth, grip my water bottle like it’s a crucifix, and picture about eight different ways I could introduce him to anguish personally.

Before I can serve him a verbal shot of sarcasm, here comes Grant Monroe—Mr. Leading Man. On-screen, he’s my soulmate or some equally nauseating nonsense. Off-screen? He’s the reason I’ve got a strict no-eye-contact rule on Tuesdays.

He slides in way too close, smelling like Old Spice and mediocre decisions. “You look tense, Jess. Maybe I can help you... relax?”

His hand starts to wander south like it’s got a death wish. I step aside nice and calm—don’t need to short out the rig—and hit him with my most dazzling ‘go die in a tire fire’ smile.

“**Beat it**, Turd-Holster.” He blinks, resets his Ken-doll charm like I didn’t just dismiss him, 'The worlds Sexiest Man' (not *my** decision), in front of God and Callahan, and slinks off. Yeah, keep walking, you sentient jockstrap. Don’t let the floodwater hit you on the way out.*

I rub my temples. Today’s schedule: green screen hell, neon harness, fake gun, photon-force whatever. I’m supposed to blast open a rift in space-time and look hot doing it. On paper? Iconic. In practice? It's me, duct tape, stress hives, and Callahan’s emotional support bullhorn.

“Action!”

I hit my mark. Spotlights sweep the chamber like cop cars looking for trouble. I take a breath.

Exhale.

Pulse flares.

Then—everything goes sideways.

One of the overheads flickers. A stray arc jumps. Electricity crackles in the air like it’s got something to say. And then I feel it—my blood starts humming like it’s tuning to a different frequency. That rogue current? It likes me. Latches on.

The light rig sparks again—and I pull it. Not on purpose, but instinct. The energy rushes in, tastes metallic on my tongue. My skin starts glowing at the edges, ember-bright. Burning, but not burning.

“Cut! Who the hell is screwing with the lights?!” Callahan’s voice is sharp—panicked now.

But the lights don’t come back.

Cables smoke. The generator stutters and dies. One by one, the set goes dark—screens, rigs, fans, the whole illusion. Dead.

Crew scatters. Someone knocks over a camera; it crashes into a crate of foam weapons and explodes like a glitter grenade. I’m standing dead center in the wreckage, hands still sizzling, static clinging to my skin like second thoughts. Heat blooms in my chest.

I stand there in the middle of the wreckage—lights blown, camera guts sizzling, the whole set buzzing like it just licked a live wire. Which, y’know, technically... it did. Courtesy of me.

I crack my neck, let the silence stretch. My heart’s still jackhammering in my chest, but on the outside? Cool as a cucumber in a North Face fridge.

“Well,” I mutter, loud enough to carry, “guess we found the budget for the reshoots, huh?”

Nobody laughs.

Figures.

I step over what might’ve once been a Steadicam and flick a glance at the director, who’s gone corpse-pale and is gripping his soy latte like it's gonna ward off divine judgment.

“Chin up, bossman,” I say, flashing him my best network-approved smile. “I hear insurance loves a good electrical fire. Might even get you a break from being a -ass for fifteen minutes.”

He sputters. I don’t wait.

I pivot toward my co-star—the walking HR violation in Dior—and offer him a lazy salute. “Hands to yourself, Casanova. Consent’s still in fashion.”

Then I head for the exit, boots crunching over shards of ruined cinema dreams. No look back, no apology. Just me, cooked and done.

At the door, I raise a hand like I’m signing off a late-night set: “You’ve been a terrible audience. Tip your PAs. Try not to electrocute anything I didn’t already fry.”

One last glance with a charming smile they likely couldn't see. “Stay crusty, Hollywood.”

I don’t stick around for the applause. Or the fines. Or the lawsuits.

One minute I’m strutting off the studio lot like I didn’t just reduce half a million in camera gear to high-end toast with one well-timed voltage spike, and the next—I’m twenty feet up, catching the smog-slick breeze over Sunset like it owes me rent. LA sprawls beneath me all glitter and gloss, trying real hard to look sexy from a distance. Points for effort, but I’ve seen Queens during a blackout—it’s got more bite, more heat, more soul. LA’s just posing with filler.

Flying? It’s therapy. The kind insurance won’t cover, but your soul thanks you for. Every foot off the ground peels the bullshit off my skin like a second layer of grime, sloughing off the day in electric shivers. There’s nothing like slicing through the night air with static whispering in your wake. Makes a girl feel alive. Invincible. Untouchable.

Beneath me, the hills glimmer like a Botox influencer’s grin—too polished, too fake, too desperate to hide the decay underneath. Ahead, my destination perches on the edge of Mulholland like a crown on a rotting king. One of those mega-mansions that screams “new money with old secrets,” all glass walls and ominous landscaping. No number on the invite. Just a pin drop and an aura of “trust fund meets Satanic Pinterest board.”

I coast low. Kill the glow before I hit visual range—last thing I need is a security cam catching my lightshow and mistaking it for fireworks or divine wrath. (Honestly? Either works.)

The party’s already thumping when I touch down on the lawn—boots kissing grass like I bought the damn hill. Bass rattles the windows like the whole place is trying to shake itself loose from reality. Inside, the lights strobe in gold and blood red. The pool glows too blue. The guests smell like expensive mistakes, anxiety, and citrus-scented egos.

I ditch the jacket and swap it for silk—black, sheer, slit sky-high and scorched at the seams like I wrestled a fire demon and won the fashion show after. Heads turn. They always do. Not bad for a girl from Queens with a grudge and a god complex.

No one stops me at the door. They wouldn’t dare. I’m the kind of guest you don’t remember inviting but hope leaves before the body count starts.

Inside? It’s a damn fever dream.

Ceilings high enough to echo sins. Staircases dipped in gold like they’re trying to impress Versailles. DJs in tuxedo masks spinning beats like they’re casting spells. Models pose with drinks like their lives depend on it—because in this crowd, maybe they do. I spot at least two senators elbow-deep in scandal, a tech bro sweating through his designer button-up, and a pop princess who claimed she was “off the grid finding herself.” Looks like she found an open bar and bad decisions instead.

I don’t fit in here. But I own it like I do.

Still... something’s wrong.

It’s in the air. Thick. Heavy. Like the building’s trying to breathe through a collapsed lung. There’s a vibration under my skin—not nerves, not power. Something older. Raw. Like an echo crawling up my spine, whispering in a voice I don’t recognize but understand all the same. The kind of voice that doesn’t speak in words. Just hunger.

I sniff my cocktail. Pomegranate and... gaslighting? Yeah, no thanks. I set it down and snag a champagne flute off a tray like it might actually offer answers. Spoiler: it doesn’t.

I drift toward the stairs.

Not because I was invited. Not because I’m curious.

Because something in this house is singing to me. No. Not to me.

For me.

It’s not a sweet song. It’s sharp, discordant. Feels like it’s trying to unzip my spine and crawl inside. And I swear to God, it’s getting louder.

Second floor’s roped off, which is rich. Like velvet rope’s gonna stop someone who can fry your security system with a sneeze. I ghost past a couple guests mid-flirtation and slip upstairs, heels silent on marble. The music downstairs fades, replaced by something quieter. Thicker. The kind of silence that isn’t empty—it’s holding its breath.

At the end of the hall, a door pulses.

Not open. Not closed. Just... waiting.

I reach for it.

And that’s when I feel it.

Not just watched. Clocked. Eyes on me like crosshairs and curses. Energy brushes mine—static cling and bad decisions. It’s not prey or predator. It’s recognition.

Someone’s here.

And just like that, the night pivots. No more mingling. No more dress-code espionage or sarcastic commentary.

Now?

It’s survival, sweetheart.

And I’m still in heels.

I feel it before I see it—pressure curling around my spine, electricity prickling just under my skin like a thunderstorm holding its breath. But instead of flinching, I pivot on my heel, smooth as butter on a hot skillet, and face the feeling head-on.

Someone’s there. Watching like they’ve got a front-row ticket to a show they didn’t pay for.

My smile kicks in easy, practiced, a little crooked—like I know a joke you don’t, and maybe you’re the punchline.

"Hey there, spooky." I tip my head, letting my hair fall just right, eyes flicking over the silhouette with lazy curiosity. "Lemme ask you somethin’—you think people are haunted by places, or are places haunted by people?"

My tone? Casual. My stance? Relaxed. Like I didn’t just follow a psychic hum into the lion’s mouth in stilettos and silk.

Because if this is gonna be a game, I’m damn well playing first move.
