Please review it makes my day!
Raven was packing the last few things when Nero stuck his head round the door somewhat impatiently,
"The Shroud's prepped for launch" he told her.
"I know just give me a minute" Raven replied, dithering then chucking in a couple of knives and a handful of shuriken; Nero was getting on her nerves. She zipped up the holdall and strapped her kantanas to her back before striding out to the launch crater. As she left Nero fell into step with her, "what now?" She asked not looking at him.
"Er" he sounded nervous, for whatever reason, this was a bad sign.
"Spit it out"
"Thefavfurhacuwidu" he garbled.
"What?" Nero swallowed hard and tried again, speaking slowly and concentrating on breaking up the words.
"The Fab Four have to come with you." Raven rolled her eyes,
"Ha ha very funny" she started to lift the holdall into the Shroud as she noticed the Fab Four standing nervously behind Nero. Typical, she thought to herself. "Why?" She said simply knowing Nero would decipher the true meaning: why do I have to take them with me? You'd better give me a good reason, if this is a joke... . Nero gulped so she gathered that he got the gist,
"Work Experience" Raven couldn't help it, her jaw dropped.
"Since when did H.I.V.E. do work experience." Nero tried to adopt an authoritative tone,
"Since I decided it" she was tempted to say 'making decisions, that's a first' but decided against it due to present company.
"Wait a minute" she said wagging a finger, "were you and Diabolus drunk again." Nero went red,
"No of course not", he smoothed down his suit with his hand like he did when he was nervous or agitated. Raven sighed,
"Well whether you were drunk or not I'm not taking them." She said smirking slightly at the Alphas expressions, "oh make sure this doesn't leak" she said to them, "if it does I will know it was you, and there will be trouble." The Alphas seemed to get the idea, unlike Nero she wasn't one for empty threats. Nero looked sheepish but he wasn't going to back down,
"It's a good idea" he attempted a firm voice, "giving students a taste of the real world." Raven tutted,
"Great but can't you just ditch them in some research laboratory somewhere, as you well know my job cannot be achieved with four kids in tow."
"I'm sure you can manage it." Raven checked her watch, she had to leave soon or it would muck up her whole plan. It might work out if she left Otto and Laura in the safe house as 'base' and Shelby and Wing as 'lookouts' that way they couldn't do too much damage.
"Okay fine but you owe me Maximilian Nero."
"Okay"
"Anything I want" Nero made a tusking sound, not wanting to be shown backing down in front of the Alphas.
"Anything just go." He had a feeling he was going to regret this.
