"We can do this the easy way or the hard way…" The gun was aimed at my chest, the assailant's finger trembling in eager anticipation for the inevitable trigger pull. I held it tighter in my hand; it was the reason I was in trouble in the first place.

"Drop the warheads and you live." Flint held his water gun steadily.

I was not in a mood to get wet; we were moving out of our home for the past year and into our new home. We had been offered a spot on the super secret superhero team which didn't make sense for us. Flint and I were simple folks, he was a world class marksmen that could hit just about anything with anything you could shoot and I was a double crossing back stabbing sexy female assassin and spy. Yes, just simple folks trying to find our little corner of sunshine. He still held the large Super Soaker 2000™ at my chest as I held tightly onto my prize, a bag of warhead gum, and candy.

"No," I taunted

"I will shoot," He warned

"You don't have the guts," I snickered

"I've shot much better people than you candy stealing low life," He laughed

"Come and get me," I quickly ducked missing Flint's shot and I used my head start to grab my foam sword and water gun. He entered our room.

"Alright Nat reach for the sky," He demanded

"Nope," I emptied my water gun's canister onto him. He turned and tried to run as I shot at him again with his gun that he had dropped.

"Mercy, Nat Mercy," He had slipped and was laying on his back.

"Please keep begging," I soaked it up basking in my success.

"Nat come on," He huffed. He looked tired we both were after packing up crap and dealing with the stress of signing transfer papers sleep had never come. I offered my hand and helped him up.

"You know Nat sometimes I wonder why I stay with you. You steal my candy and blast me with water pistols." He teased

"Hey you started it," I threw my hands up in innocence.

"You stole my candy!" He protested.

"Now whatever are you talking about," I said innocently

"God Nat," He laughed. I checked my watch it was around one thirty and I was starving but all of the food was packaged up so I settled for a black cherry warhead and soda water.

"Where is Agent Zhu she was supposed to be here thirty minutes ago," Flint whined our other teammates Sam Mckinley, Amanda Ramirez, and Sterling Jones were gathering their things and taking forever maybe that was because they had way more stuff. Flint and I had lived on the run together since we were thirteen so we knew how to only travel with the essentials.

"Amanda you can't be making empanadas right now! We're leaving soon!" Sam yelled.

"But I am hungry and I am sure Nat, Flint, and Sterling are too." Amanda pouted

"You can make empanadas at our new place" Sam sighed walking into the kitchen

"Hey! I know you want them too" Amanda kissed him on the cheek

"So what I want to get to the new base even sooner!" He was clearly excited I leaned into Flint who was digging around his box for a new shirt.

"Why are you so excited for all we know we could be staying in a single room barracks bomb shelter?" I shrugged. Sterling was being quiet placing his pictures in a box.

"It's weird they don't want all of us. I mean, we're all a team"Flint said confused

"We follow orders," Sterling shrugged and taped up his final box.

"Well, I'm guessing that we're going to have others from another program… Or else this team will be VERY dysfunctional" Amanda laughed "Wanna empanada?".

"I will take one." I snatched one from the plate. Usually, I was much more polite but I was starving.

"Hungry are we?" Flint laughed at me.

"Oh come on, I didn't eat breakfast," I whined he smiled at me.

"Well if we are here much longer I will die of starvation." Amanda threw her hand over her forehead in a dramatic flurry.

"Come on 'Manda we will get some food in you," Sam smiled warmly

"It better be soon Mckinley or else I am going to tell Flint and Nat to Kick your ass."

"Now that is a little brash," Sam tried to defuse the now hostile situation

"I want food!" Amanda fake whined

"And we'll get you some food as soon as agent Zhu picks us up"

"Last time Agent Zhu picked me up and brought me to an unknown location, I ended up with a bunch of weirdos…" Amanda smirked

"I was there too" Sam whined sarcastically

"Exactly Mckinley.." Amanda smiled

"Ugh," He growled and started packing his tenth box.

"Which is why I love you" Amanda kissed him on the cheek

"Gosh all the lovey lovey today" Sam smirked

"Don't pretend you don't like it Mr." Amanda laughed

"Are we this obnoxious?" Flint sighed looking at the couple.

"I hope not." I smiled He flashed a million dollar smile and grabbed my hand.

"Mckinley thinks fast," Sterling threw a frisbee at Sam that hit him in the chest. The laughter started to bubble out of my throat.

"Jones!" He growled

"You two stop bickering!" I snapped Sterling was like my brother and Mckinley was an asshole but I dealt with him.

"He started it!" Mckinley pointed at Sterling

"Look, whoever started it… I don't care. Agent Zhu is here to pick you up." Maya sighed, eating an apple while in the splits. The entire team was leaving most just going back into the CIA but we were chosen for an even more prestigious program.

"I'm gonna miss you, Maya!" Amanda hugged Maya tightly.

"Gosh, I'm not leaving the country…" Maya smiled and hugged her back.

"Hey, Alex, I um wanted to say goodbye," Sterling Kissed the blonde's forehead softly the two had broken up because of the program shift

"Sterling… Just because you get the promotion, doesn't mean we can never see each other again. Besides, you owe me a dance" She smiled and clutched his hand he blushed.

"Bye Alex, I wish only the best." He hugged her

"And to you also…" She forced a smile through her wet eyes. It had been hard on the both of them this new program. I couldn't imagine if Flint hadn't gotten in. I squeezed his hand.

"It's time for us to go…" Amanda sighed. The five of us headed to the door.

"Wait, Alex!" Sterling ran back.

"Sterling you have to leave" Alex started crying harder.

"Before I go…" He leaned in and kissed her, Alex sobbing and Sterling starting to cry also.

"Come on we have to leave," I touched his arm lightly.

"Ok," his eyes wet from tears.

The van was packed as we head to a classified location. Well, we were headed to an airport but from their to a classified location.

I hated flying just being stuffed next to someone so close that your knees were touching than the way your ears filled with pressure and made your brain want to explode. Flying on a private Jet was a little better. Mckinley was loaded his family sold next gen tech so we got the perks of a private jet. I lay back on the couch on the side. I tried to picture my new room more like Flint and I's new room. When we were on the run we would share a bed and now neither of us could sleep alone. I wondered what our new team would be like. Flint was sleeping in his seat a little bead of drool falling from his open mouth. He was cute when he slept okay that sounded a little creepy but he was. I looked out the window and down at the clouds below. I wondered where we were but I had no way of knowing. The team seemed pretty productive except Sterling who had his face pressed to the window. I knew he and Alex's break had been rough but it was for the best, in the end, I felt because Sterling needed this team.

Mckinley and Amanda were playing poker. I was worried about Amanda. Sam did not seem like a one girl guy and from what I had gathered he was like that. Now a whole new team that meant more drama than I needed. Flint was still sleeping like a baby. Huh, maybe we could sleep alone. Maybe Flint could at least. Sleep never came easy for me even when I was so tired I could pass out. It was a curse it could take me at least twenty minutes to go to sleep.

"Are we there yet?" Amanda whined

"Amanda, you've asked that 6 times this last hour." Sterling sighed.

"We don't even know where are going and I still haven't gotten food!" Amanda complained.

"Yeah… I hope wherever we are going isn't worse than the academy"Sterling whined

"Well I have heard rumors," Sam piped in his usual authoritarian tone.

"About what!?" Amanda seemed very excited by the proposition.

"Well, you see tech billionaires all seem to live in the same inner circle, from what the other tech billionaires are saying Tony Stark might have designed the facility." He smiled very proudly of his knowledge. I perked up, Tony Stark as in Iron Man? What exactly was this program?

"Tony Stark! As in billionaire, superhero Tony Stark?" Sterling turned to face Sam and Amanda.

"No, Tony Stark the delivery man… Yes I mean Tony as in Iron Man" Sam sighed.

"Does that mean... we're going to be superheroes!?" Amanda squealed

"Please be quiet I don't want to wake Flint up…"

"Flint! We're going to be superheroes!" Amanda squealed loudly.

"Wha," Flint shot up groggily and wiped his face.

"We're gonna be heroes!" Amanda jumped up and down.

"No not us I can shoot stuff and Nat can punch stuff those aren't super powers," Flint yawned.

"But still…" Amanda said eagerly

"Then I wonder who else is going to be on our team?" I sighed.
