General Kane stood at attention in the Oval Office ready to present an idea to the President.
" Ok Kane, give it to me straight."
" Sir, I am proposing that we build a special ops team with the best of the best."
" Who've you got in mind for this team?"
" I'm glad you asked sir, for starters Monty Green the hacker and his partner in crime the biochemist who created the smoke that locks all the non essential muscles of the body momentarily."
" Ok, who else?"
" Raven Reyes sir, she's the bomb expert. "
" Is everyone on this team a criminal?"
" No sir, I want to add specialists Nathan Miller the weapons expert and Bellamy Blake the combat expert. Also I'm going to bring Octavia Blake in to secure Bellamy. She was arrested for petty theft, but she can handle her own."
" So you want me to approve this rag tag team of four criminals and two army specialists?"
" Actually sir there's one other person I had in mind."
" Who Kane?"
" Clarke Griffin, sir?"
" Are you crazy general? She assassinated Senator Sydney!"
" Maybe sir, but the country doesn't know that and Sydney was tied to the Komono gang. Clarke is an amazing medic and she's a third degree black belt in taekwondo and jujitsu. Not to mention she's fluent in over 11 languages."
" The Komono gang? They were taken care of by the CIA."
" Not exactly, over a period of two years the CIA received incoded messages that led them to underground hideouts all over the country. They moved with speed but each time they arrived, the gang members were all dead."
" So what does this have to do with Clarke?"
" Well recently evidence has come out linking Clarke to over half of the sites."
" Ok General, put together your team, but if I hear anything negative, I'm sticking them all back in jail."
" Yes sir." Kane soluted as he exited the office.

Bellamy was in the shooting range when one of his commanding officers came in " Blake! The General is here to see you, get your butt out here!"
" Yes sir." Bellamy soluted sticking his gun back in his jeans and exiting the range. Kane was standing there talking to one of the lieutenants, but when he saw Bellamy he turned and gestured for Bellamy to follow. Once inside the black escalade Kane spoke up " Blake, I have a new opportunity for you. It's a covert team of the best of the best. Now this is your choice, but once you were done you'd never have to work again. But with this assignment goes all life as you know it. We'd fake your death in an explosion of some sort and if you ever got caught in another country we'd deny everything about you."
" With all do respect sir, I appreciate the offer but I can't have my sister think I'm dead."
" I knew you'd say that son, so I've decided she'd join you on the team."
" You'd release her from prison?"
" Yes, of course in a couple months or so we'd fake her death as well."
" General I think we have a deal."
" Good, see you at 0800 hours one week from today." Kane concluded dropping Bellamy off and speeding away.

Clarke trudged out of Pennslyvania State Pennitentiary still clad in her orange jumpsuit, cuffs adorning her wrists. When she was given the opportunity by Kane she was reluctant to accept at first but hey it couldn't get any worse. Her cuffs were removed, she was seated in a black suv and driven to a secure base. Clarke reveled in the sunshine beaming through the window and onto her ghostly pale skin. Once they arrived at the base, she followed the two agents who had picked her up into what looked like a library. They entered a code and it led to an silver steel elevator. Everyone in the room stopped to stare at the so called assassin as she walked past. A lady with her hair pulled into a bun and dressed in a white blouse tucked into a black pencil skirt approached her nervously before saying " Hello I'm Harper, Mr. Kane's assistant. He asked me to direct you to the lockers so you could shower and change out of that horrid suit."
" Thank you."
Harper was surprised by Clarke's gratitude, but covered it up quickly by adding "You're welcome it's just right this way."
The locker room turned out to be more of a suite for the agents equipped with outfits ranging from evening gowns to bathing suits. Vanities with makeup, perfumes, lotions, and hair products took up one wall while; there was a wall lined with shelves full of shoes, jewelry, purses, and back packs. Clarke marveled at it all before picking out some skinny jeans, a grey v-neck and a pair of hightop converse. Two hours later she looked and felt like a new woman. She'd curled her hair, put on a little makeup and stuck some diamond stud earrings in her ears. Harper came in just as Clarke was finishing up.
" Wow, you don't look so scary anymore."
" I uh thanks."
" Not that you're scary it's just you look beautiful now. I mean not that you didn't before. Those orange jumpsuits don't look good on anybody. Well sorry I meant..."
" Harper, it's ok I know what you mean. So where to now?"
" Right, so Kane will be here in forty five minutes, then he will transport you to your assignment. For now would you like something to eat?"
" Sure." Clarke smiled warmly trying to make Harper more comfortable. True to what Harper had said Kane arrived forty-five minutes later on the dot. Clarke was ushered into yet another black suv, but this time General Kane was inside.
" Clarke, I trust you were taken care of?"
" Yes sir."
" Good."
" General may I ask where we are headed?"
" We are headed to your team's new base of operations in Manhattan, New York."
An hour later they pull into a parking garage off fifth ave. After stepping into the elevator Kane pulled out a key and put in under the buttons. Next a hand scanner came out.
" Put your hand on Clarke, we need to make sure it's in the system."
Clarke eyed him warily before placing her hand on the scanner. One clicking noise, and a green light later the elevator descended at least three stories underground. The doors opened to reveal all silver and glass. A conference room to the left, armory next to it, and a computer table with monitors circling it from above.
" Let me show you to your room the rest of the team is already settled in, you'll be able to meet them in an hour."
Kane led Clarke to the right down the hall all the way past a set of seven doors. Another fingerprint scanner later and her door was opened. It wasn't much a bed, a couch, a tv, and a bathroom. The closet was stocked with clothes and the couch turned out to lift up to reveal weapons. Everyone's room were pretty much the same. The team had one main area through a different door. The main area was a living room slash kitchen and dining area. Kane excused himself and left Clarke in her room. After exploring she flopped down on the sleep number bed. Sighing in contentment. She set an alarm for thirty minutes and then dozed off.
