Connor sits in front of the crystal ball smoking his never end chain of nicotine. He's got his sentry spell up at the entrance in the middle of the Stonehenge waiting for their new recruit to show up. She'd be new to magic but the gift runs in her blood so she might surprise them.
***
Above ground at the natural wonder John, a few years younger than Jasmine waits to show her the way into the secret base and he is not happy about it.
"I'm the best mage on the team and they have me play doorman for the rookie," he complains as he amuses himself by making sand castles in the dirt with a wave of his phone.

Jasmine approached, stopping a few feet away from John, "I imagine...am I in the right place?" she asked him, looking at the castle in the sand.

"Jasmine Rutter?" John asks waving his phone again causing the castle to fade back into the dirt.
"I thought you were supposed to be Egyptian?"

"Born there, but not Egyptian," she told him, "English. Like you, apparently."

"Right then you're in the right place then." John said as he gets up. He takes a phone identical to his own and tosses it towards Jasmine.
"This is for you. It's your new focus, Connor throws a fit if you bring in outside foci. Too easy to track or something."

"Focus? Outside foci? What are you talking about?" she questioned, turning it over in hand.

"Staves, wands, magic rings, rune stones. You know things you use to channel focus your magic when casting spells." John explains a concerned expression crossing his face, if she didn't even know that kind of basic knowledge then having her on a combat magic team is pretty much a death sentence.

"Ok," she said, "So I'm not supposed to bring wands or anything in? Who carries wands around?" she questioned.

"I used to. They work well with subtle small magic. As long as you aren't trying to blow things up." John says rather annoyed.
"Anyways I'm John Davids. Come on I'll show you the way downstairs." He says as he walks over to one the the archways. He taps his phone on the side pillar three times to magic a field of glowing energy appear inside of it.

"You mean you always had magic?" she asked, following him.

"Since I was a toddler." John boasts as he enters the portal and crosses into a stone catacomb lit by small torches along the wall every few feet. He continues down the long hall coming to a fork.
"That way leads to your quarters, you're the only new recruit so far so it's just you for now. We'll have your stuff summoned there shortly." He says pointing down to the right.
"The room I share with Donna is down that way, as is Connor's. It's probably for the best you stay out of that wing." He says pointing to the left.
He then keeps going forward through the middle path. "The war room is down here."

"Wait, I'm supposed to live here?" she questioned him, not caring about anything else right now, "I have a life to live! You can't expect me to just live here!"

"You don't expect to be part of a military operation from halfway around the world. This was in the letter we send your Father. Didn't you read it?" Connor asks in a thick Irish accent as you enter the war room, which doesn't look much like a war room. More like psychic's office with a bunch of chairs around a large crystal ball.

"I read it, I just didn't believe it," she said, "Military? I thought you were wizards. Since when are wizards a military?"

"Depending on who you ask since the Crusades or two months ago." Connor replies with a complete non explanation as he lifts another cigarette to the one in his mouth to light it..
"Of course you are under no obligation to stay. I'd understand if you don't want to carry on your Father's legacy. He was a prick who I personally couldn't stand to be around, he was one of the best defensive spell casters I've ever seen though if you got half of his natural talent..." He continues letting his words hang in the air.
