"Where are you taking me?" Cade asked Soren's hands over her eyes, leading the way to the warehouse he and a few others had rented out a year or so ago
"You'll see." He said leading her around the extra parts that were lying around on the floor.
"Come on you and T have been all secretive day and night ever since we saw that battle at the stadium. Will you PLEASE tell me where you're taking me so I know you're not leading me off a cliff to my uncertain doom." She said and smiled when he heard him chuckle behind her.
"Come on I'm not leading you off a cliff and you know it, besides a: then where would I crash and b: T would kick my ass not to mention Riley."
Cade smiled at the mention of her two best friend's names, she could've sworn she had heard the familiar sound of T's giggling.
"Titus! Is that you?" she called out, she'd know that giggle anywhere; as Soren finally had her stop.
"Of course love! Who else would it be?" the voice said happily coming closer.
"Point taken." She smirked as she felt T take her arm.
"So you just need to promise us one thing before we show you the project." Soren said, still holding his hands over her eyes.
"And that would be?"
"You can't laugh at us." He said.
"And you can't get all protective." T added.
"And you can't freak out."
Cade bit her lip not exactly sure what to think anymore, now that they said that.
"Fine… I'll promise." She said hoping it wouldn't be too bad.
He let go of her eyes and she stared at what was in front of her. She wasn't exactly sure what to say… The mech in front of her stood damn near close to five stories tall; there were a number of different crews working on it, mainly getting the silver and black paint job on to certain parts.
"Should've known taking you guys to the tournament would've been a bad idea." She muttered to her self sitting down.
"Not bad, excellent actually." Titus said knelling next to her.
"I had wondered why you wanted those overalls." Cade said, still remembering helping her pick out the stained ones she was currently wearing, T's own flair of hot pink on them, only a tank top underneath, "Ok big question: Funding."
"Hey Daddy wanted me to spend his fortune on something." T said with an impish grin, "I figured this was as good as any."
"All the better to piss him off?" she asked.
"Of course, besides he never was keen on the three of us being friends." She said smiling at Cade and Soren as he sat next to her, she never did follow her father's rules hence the Gothic Lolita line in her closet.
Cade sighed and shook her head, Soren then gave her the run down of the specs of the entire thing, including the fact that they wanted it to be able to fly. She only interrupted him when he said something about 3 pilots.
"And who the bloody hell are you two gonna get to pilot this thing with you might I ask?" she asked looking at the two of the skeptically, figuring she already knew the answer.
The two only looked at her and pouted, T getting up when one of the crews waved her over.
"And the two of you figured I'd just agree right off the bat to this hair brained scheme."
"Pretty much," Soren said leaning back on his hands and only smiled at her.
"You're both fucking nuts you know that right?" she said looking out over the mech once again.
"Well aware." He said part of him already knowing her answer, "Come on Cade you know T and I would probably kill not only each other but anyone else we'd get to pilot this thing with us."
"Politica's Mech Battle is in 2 weeks, think you'll have it up and running by then?"
"You mean it?"
"Might as well," she said standing dusting off her pants, "like you said who else is gonna keep the two of you from killing each other."
He gave a laugh of victory sweeping her into a hug, she could feel Titus hugging her from behind.
"Ok guys let go before I can't breathe," Cade said laughing, "and let's get back to work."

Don't think I did to bad… like I said for Ian to welcome him to the board. Characters are pretty obvious to figure out whose who.
