Thanks for the critiques from before. I appreciate them. I swear it isn't as cliche as it sounds.

“What is taking them so long!?” Ella mumbled suddenly, taking Justin by surprise. He was about to answer her with a sarcastic remark until he heard more footsteps coming from outside.
“Someone else is coming.” He stated in a hushed voice, distracting Ela momentarily from her frustration.
Sure enough in came a two more people, a kid and a parent. This kid was tall and stocky with messed black hair and glasses on his nose. He wore loose jeans and a plain navy blue t-shirt with a computer bag over his arm. His father looked like an older version of him, also with a computer bag slung over his shoulder.
“One more.” The adult muttered, not meaning for anyone to hear it, but Ella did. She was about to ask the man what he meant until Justin interrupted with a loud holler. “Danny! It’s nice to see you man!” Justin called as soon as he saw this new kid. “Been awhile, for a second I thought you were dead.” Justin joked.
Danny snorted as he high-fived Justin. “You wish.” Was Danny’s sarcastic remark.
“Danny, I’ll only be a moment. It’s nice to see you again Justin.” Danny’s father said as he pushed his glasses up his nose and disappeared through the door. Ella watched him with eyes like a hawk, trying to see what was behind the door, but she glimpsed nothing.
“We’re waiting for one more.” Ella muttered. Danny looked at her curiously.
“What do you mean?” Ela turned to face the tech nerd. “I’m saying that your father said one more, obviously that means one more to come, because there are two more here.”
Danny just nodded, not quite believing what Ella was saying, but not wanting to get into an argument, in case he was wrong. “My name is Danny, obviously.” Danny introduced, sticking out his hand.
Ela took it with a smile. “Nice to meet you Danny, I’m Ella.”
“I apologize for whatever Justin did or said to you. I know my friend far to well.” Danny joked. Justin looked appalled at this statement, but Ella quickly rushed to his defense.
“I’ve been through worse.” She said as Justin gaped, Ella tried to conceal a smile.
“WORSE!” The two laughed at Justin’s offense.
“Well….” Justin started until two more people walked through the door.
This they were female, the older one, obviously the mother ,had model blond hair and a cheery complexion. Her daughter was the exact opposite. Her hair was black and long and her cloths matched her hair. She wore a black skirt with a studded belt along with a black turtleneck, a black choker and, to complete the outfit, she wore black boots.
“Every one this is Amy. Amy meet everyone while I go talk to a few people.” Amy's mother stated disappearing without another glance into the room. Ella didn’t mind the wait anymore with the people to pass the time. It was this Amy girl who seemed antisocial and intimidating.
A moment of awkward silence passed and soon Amy’s scowl turned into a bright cheery smile. “I didn’t expect so much people. Look at you all, you’re all so adorable!” She squealed, resting her eyes on Ella.
“What’s your name?” She asked, her voice bright and cheery.
“Ella.” Came Ella’s hesitant and confused response. Amy was by no means a stereotypical Goth.
“You look like an Artemis, or an Athena.” Amy then turned to Justin, who wore a confused and almost frightened face.
“You, are you Justin?” She asked, taking everyone by surprise.
“Yes I am.” Amy just smiled and turned to Danny without saying a word, just kept smiling.
Another awkward moment.
“I’m Danny.”
“I know.” Giggled Amy, the whole group was taken aback at Amy's personality. A moment later the mysterious door opened to reveal Ella's mom with a forced and empty smile. "Come in all of you." She said, the group walking through the door after her. The room held nothing but an empty desk and a bookshelf, which was also empty."What the.." Justin started until an elevator appeared from an evanescent crack between the wallpaper. "Come along then." She said to the surprised and eager teenagers.
"So what is this all about?" Danny asked once the elevator started to move down. "Well, you are all going to participate on a youth program here." she explained vaguely, which wasn't enough information for Danny. "Is this the F.B.?" He persisted.
"No." Was the simple reply from the older agent.
"The C.I.A?" Justin assumed.
"No." It was at this point a tension grew among the group, all unsure of where they were and what they were doing.
"Then what is this?" Ella asked her mother, her voice stern and demanding.
"We are merely called the Organization. We are what some people would call the 'Bad guys'. You will find out what we do soon enough. I am not at liberty to discuss this operation with you." As she explained this the doors to the elevator opened to reveal a huge room with numerous amounts of cubicles and labs. "It is too late to back out now. You four were chosen. Good luck." Those were her parting words as another agent came before them, his unfamiliar face was drawn in a stern and almost pained expression. He towered above the others in a monstrous bulk and height. "Come with me." he ordered, no one thought of talking back to him in fear of being crushed by him.
