Pauling is either working in a bookstore who is trying to find a particular old book for a client - administrator ( not named that here) or she's working for Administrator directly to find this Book.
Either way, she finds this book. It's the clow book. But as soon as she opens it, the cards come out and fly away. You know like with Sakura.
But instead the cards work a bit different here. Some cards have Merged due to such inactivity they started running low on magic. And so they merged to try and conserve magic.
The cards also have a human as well as pure magic form.
The one card Pauling held into was the Breeze ( shout out to @infini-tree for the name. Also go check out her art she's great. And she puts up with all my weird ass AUs and crossovers and so on and so forth. I already dragged her into animorphs)
Anyway The Breeze... is Medics card. ( Red medic specifically). Nothing happens with him until some time afterwards.
Pauling is Freaking out. She found the book. But everything Flew out. She doesn't know How or Why but she knows that her client probably wants what's In the Book.
She spends some time trying to figure out what to Do. She's looking at the Card she has (the breeze is a mix of the Fly, float and Windy) and it's got a holographic/ lenticular effect where if you move it back and forth the picture changes and you can catch a glimpse of the Component Cards it absorbed.
That night she gets a Dream where she sees the Cards and a flurry of magic but most importantly she sees the Key/ wand.
The next day, she notices a weird bird / not a Normal White Dove hanging around. She doesn't think much of it but talks to the bird, partly to herself as well. And then it talks back.
It introduces itself with a German Accent and says he's the Breeze Card, and that she's a card captor now. She released them all and now she needs to collect them all.
This is all too much for Pauling but there's no time to process it all. He's right. She's got to get those cards back so she agrees. Medic here is playing the role of Kero because I didn't want to cast Kero. I suppose I could have had Bidwell and Reedy take on the roles of Kero and Yue(?) but I like condensing this.
Anyway Pauling officially signs her name on Breezes card, putting him under her mastery/ command. He gives her everything she needs to know.
She does sees Medics human form at one point but idk when.
As the Breeze, he can give her the ability to fly/ manipulate wind in general.
I can go more detailed and step by step plot wise if anyone really wants in a different post but here's the break down at the moment for who's who card wise
Breeze ( fly/ windy/ float) - red medic
Dash ( if I don't bring the Blu team as extra cards he becomes the agility or the Movement/ Speed a mix of dash and jump)- red Scout
The create - red engineer ( if with the Blu engineer they become a half fuses card that rejects the fusion and breaks into the Create and the Copy with Blu engineer becoming the Copy)
The illusion/ mirror- red spy
The strong/ strength- red heavy
The Fight( renamed the Combat)- red soldier
The Knight- ( sword/ shield fusion)- red demo ( the sword is Eyelander. He's still there and can Talk he's just not his own card anymore. I went with the demo knight theme instead of explosions because I didn't think there eas an explosion clow card and I wanted to Do something with that sub class idea)
The arrow(?) will consider going back and revising- red sniper
To the surprise of no one. I did consider ' the Whimsy'- leaning more into pyro land but I felt like I should at least give red pyro their actual element.
