Chapter 2
A while after everyone else had went to bed, Katie and Adam finally decided to called it a night getting out and drying off.
"So, I guess I'll see you in the morning?" Adam asked.
Katie frowned slightly, "Yeah, see you in the morning." She said before giving him a kiss goodnight.
"Are you okay?" He asked when they broke apart
Katie nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" He asked seeing her frown
"It's just that we have to leave for the night."
"Well, you could stay," He offered
Katie smiled, "I'd like that."
"Then go get some pajamas and I'll be here," Adam said. Katie nodded, before heading off.
Adam changed into red PJ's got in bed and turned on the TV waiting for her
"Hey, Adam." Katie said melodiously from the doorway.
Adam turned and smiled she had dark green nighty that matched her eyes on and you could slightly see through it to her underwear, but not completely. She didn't say anything as she just smiled back. "Hey Katie," Adam said in a dumb struck voice.
Katie sat down on his lap. "I take it that means you like it?"
"Yeah I do," He said pulling her into his chest.
"I love you, Adam." Katie whispered into his ear.
"I love you too," Adam whispered kissing her cheek
"Then show me." Katie said having closed the door behind her.
Adam kissed her passionately as she pulled him on top of her.
"Yep, only gets better." Katie concluded afterwards still underneath him.
"Yeah," Adam said happily
"We should go to bed for real now though." Katie pointed out.
"Yeah," Adam said lying beside her and opening his arms. Katie unhesitantly accepted snuggling into him. They fell asleep that way.
The next morning, Adam woke up first between them smiling at his girlfriend. Nothing wrong with leaving her like that. He kissed her lips gently before making to pull away. However, Katie's arms wrapped around him keeping him in.
Adam gave in and pulled her to him by the waist.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty." Adam said once they separated.
"Good morning," She said still keeping him close
"Sleep well?" He asked.
"With you hear to snuggle into? Of course," She said.
There was a tedious knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Adam asked.
"Isabella." Said a voice on the other side.
"Just a minute," Adam said as Katie scrambled into his bathroom and quietly shut the door. "Come in," he said.
Isabella came in and spotted Katie's torn nighty on the floor. "Really, Adam? You guys are fifteen." She said in disapproval.
"Katie you can come out she knows," Adam sighed. Katie wrapped a towel around herself and came out redder than a tomato. "Don't tell?"
Isabella sighed, she prefers her brother and best friend alive so, "Fine, I won't but if Mom finds out on her own, I knew NOTHING... did you at least use protection?"
"Well," Katie said blushing as she had basically roped Adam into it both times
Isabella frowned, "You didn't? What are you going to do if you get pregnant?" she asked seriously.
"I'm not I can feel it and you know what I mean," Katie said.
"No, because I've never done that." Isabella said.
"I can feel all my eggs," Katie deadpanned making both siblings blush
"That's impossible." Isabella stated flatly.
"Not really," Katie smirked.
"Um, yeah, it is." Isabella argued.
"Is not and in any case I've been on the pill since fourteen," Katie said
Isabella gave a sigh of relief. "Oh, well you didn't say that."
"Yeah I should have opened with that," Katie said.
"Well, I guess that makes it a little better but you guys are still too young to be doing that." Isabella lectured.
"You and Phineas didn't?" Adam asked skeptically.
"No, we didn't." Isabella said.
"So the night mom was not home and I heard you moaning from your room was?" Adam asked.
Isabella turned redder than Adam and Katie combined. "You heard that?"
"Yes I did I had to walk past your room to get down to the kitchen," Adam said.
"Well, at least I was only stupid once. It dead obvious you two did it last night at least twice yesterday alone." Isabella pointed out.
"Yes, but then you just tried to give us a guilt trip over it. I promise we will tone it down," Adam said honestly
"Alright," Isabella agreed. "Thanks, by the way, for not telling mom about what you heard."
"I did not want you to get in trouble," Adam said smiling at her.
Isabella smiled back, "Well, I don't with you guys."
"So, from now on, no more sibling blackmail?" Adam asked.
Isabella nodded, "Alright, no more sibling blackmail but could we still stick to that if Mom somehow finds out on her own then I didn't know about this?"
"And vice versa," Adam said.
"Deal." Isabella agreed.
"Good, now can we get dressed?" Katie asked. Isabella nodded and left the room.
"Well that was awkward," Adam said once she was gone.
"Extremely." Katie said looking down. "Did she really…?"
"Yeah, if what I heard is any indication, but I don't want to talk about that," Adam said.
"Yeah, that's awkward." Katie said still red.
"You have no idea," Adam said.
"On that note, I'll just get dressed." Katie said awkwardly.
"Yeah I'll see you at breakfast," Adam said.
"See you at breakfast." She said kissing him. They separated and she made her way to her room covered by the towel. Luckily, she got there without anyone else seeing. She breathed a sigh of relief.
As Adam was getting dressed he realized that they should have picked a better location for the first time but they can't warn anyone without telling them. "Great, now I have to scrub down that counter top," He thought with a sigh.
He finished getting dressed and headed over there. When he got there the room was empty, so he pulled out all the cleaning supplies he could and set to work on the counter tops deciding to get the floor so he would not look suspicious. Isabella came in when he was cleaning and her eyes widened. "Please tell me you hadn't actually done that HERE."
Deciding telling her the truth would only make her freak out he said; "No, but the counter was filthy and so was the floor and you can't cook in a dirty kitchen," Adam said convincingly.
Isabella looked him in the eye for a while to see if he was telling the truth. She believed him and nodded as she turned away Adam breathed a relieved sigh as he finished cleaning the counter and started on the floor. "Need any help?" Isabella offered.
"Yeah could you get the other side?" Adam asked gesturing to the other mop. Isabella grabbed the mop and started cleaning.
They finished just as Vivian got there.
She smiled, "Hello Adam, Isa."
"Hey mom," They said together washing their hands
Vivian looked at how clear the kitchen was. "Did you guys clean this?"
"Yeah it was dirty and I can't cook in a dirty kitchen," Adam said.
Vivian nodded understanding. "That would be gross anyways."
"Exactly," Adam said.
"So, what what are we going to have for breakfast then?" Vivian asked.
"Waffles?" Adam offered
"That works." They agreed.
"Okay I'll get to it," Adam said. He opened the magic storage space, got the ingredients and supplies he needs, and set to work.
Katie walked in and smiled "I smell waffles," She said kissing Adams cheek.
"Good morning, Katie." Adam said as if this was the first time he saw her this morning so his mom wouldn't get suspicious.
"Good morning Adam," She said.
Katie just then remembered yesterday but noticed everything was clean and figured it out. Adam just nodded at her as he cooked. "Can I help you cook?" Katie asked.
"Sure," Adam said happily so Katie smiled and set to work. Moments later there were plates of food for everyone.
"We make a good team." Katie said looking at the layout.
"Yes we do," Adam said kissing her lightly.
"Should we get the others?" Katie asked.
"Yeah we should given our poor hormonal control when were alone," Adam chuckled
"Alright, I'll get them." Katie said before briefly kissing him and heading off.
"You two really work together.
"Thanks." Adam said.
"No problem," Isabella said.
A short while later, everyone was in the kitchen. "Dig in!"Adam said.
"Mmm, they smell delicous." James said sitting down.
"Thanks," Adam said smiling. Everyone got their food and started eating.
"Like it?" Adam asked them all.
"Yeah!" They all said.
"I'm glad!" Adam said happily.
"Of course they're good." Adyson 1 said since it's obvious taking a bite.
"I try," Adam shrugged.
"You succeed." She added.
"Thank you," He said smiling.
"I helped." Katie pointed out.
"You as well," Adyson 1 said.
"Thanks." Katie said taking a bite herself.
"Our pleasure," Vivian said.
"So, what are we going to do today?" Isabella asked.
"Vanessa wants to see us after breakfast," Katie said.
Isabella nodded, "Alright."
"How did you all sleep?" Vivian asked.
Everyone basically had a pretty good night's sleep but we're getting into filler.
So, when breakfast was over they made their way to the meeting room minus Vivian
"Glad you guys made it." Vanessa said from a chair.
"Yes ma'am," They said together.
"Take a seat." She told them. Once they were seated she faced them, "So this is the last chance any of you get t back out of this," She warned. No one wanted to. "Okay, so from now one you six are my general understood?" She asked.
They nodded sure they could handle it. "Okay." Well then uniforms first she said pressing a button on her desk. A neatly pressed uniform for each rose up from the table.
"These uniforms are composed by Kevlar and a little percentage of titanium; there bullet-proof and resistant to various types of attack like explosions, impacts, falls, etc. They are also flame-retarding and insulating. The gloves and the boots are reinforced to rebound the impact of punches and kicks. If you look closely you'll see the gloves have also some metallic blades on their sides. The come in dark red, blue, or black." Vanessa said.
"That's incredible!" Adam said impressed.
"Thank you, so who wants it and in what color?" She asked.
"Red." Adam said unhesitantly.
"Red, if I can't get dark purple," Isabella said.
"We don't have a purple one now but we could get you a purple one in a little while and you could have a red one till then." Vanessa said.
"Thank you!" Isabell said happily.
"I want blue!" James said.
"I'll take black." Adyson 1 said.
"I will take red," Katie said
"Alright, here you go." Vanessa said giving them their requested colors.
"Now go get changed then come back," She said dismissing them. Everyone went off to their rooms to get changed.
Adam zipped up his boots as he looked at himself in the mirror wondering when this would stop feeling weird.
"You ok?" Katie asked in her own uniform once he came out,
"It just feels weird," Adam said.
"I understand, it's going to feel that way for a while but it'll get better. You have nothing to worry about." Katie told him.
"Are you sure?" Adam asked.
"Positive." Katie said.
"Okay," Adam sighed.
"You trust me, right?" She asked.
"Of course," Adam said.
"Then you should be just fine."
"Really?" Adam asked.
"Of course really, why are you being so doubtful?"
"I don't know," Adam said. Katie leaned in a kissed him. Adam surrendered to the kiss and kissed her back.
"Just trust me, Adam." She said between kisses.
"I do trust you," Adam said between kisses.
"Good." She wrapped her arms around him deepening the kiss. Adam pulled her up against him as she sighed into his mouth. "We need to go." She reminded sadly.
"I know," Adam sighed. Katie let go of him and hesitantly headed back to Vanessa. Adam took her hand and walked with her. They were the last two to get there.
"Took you long enough," James said.
"Sorry, we got a little preoccupied." Katie said as her and Adam took their seats.
"Alright," Vanessa said.
"So, what's on the agenda?" Katie asked.
"A raid," Vanessa said. Adam glupped slightly but Katie put a reassuring hand on his thigh. "You'll be raiding a Firestorm base in Asia," Vanessa said.
"Alright, what's the plan?" Adam asked, his voice slightly shacky.
"Just a simple go in and get information, take out as many of them as you can," Vanessa said.
He nodded, "Alright, I guess we could do that."
"Simple enough?" Vanessa asked.
They hesitated but agreed. "Yeah, seems simple enough." Isabella said.
"Good," Vanessa said.
"When's the raid?" Katie asked.
"In about three hours," Vanessa said.
"Perfect, we'll be ready." Katie said.
"Good then you are all dismissed," Vanessa said waving her hand. Everyone left their own way.
"Now what?" Adam asked Katie.
"We could take a look at some of the other rooms in the base." Katie suggested.
"That sounds fun!" Adam said
"Wanna see the gameroom?" Katie asked though it was obvious.
"Yes!" Adam said excitedly. Katie lead him over to the gameroom. "Wow!" Adam said. In case you didn't read Another Path, there were black walls and purple carpets. A pool table and an air hockey table sat off to the side of the room and on the other side was several flat screen TV's with different game systems and a fridge full of food and drinks.
"Nice right?" Katie asked sitting on the pool table.
"Yeah, it almost beats the pool." Adam said looking around.
"Almost," Katie said smiling. "You know, you'd be surprised exactly how many of these rooms are soundproof." She said swinging her feet.
"Really?" Adam said locking the door and walking over to her.
"You always want more huh?" He asked smiling.
"Of course, I do." Katie said with a suggested smirk.
"Who am I to deny you?" Adam asked kissing her deeply as she pulled him onto the pool table.
They finished and got back into their uniforms with plenty of time left. "Is that ever not good?" Adam asked.
"I sincerely hope not." Katie said trying to fix her hair limiting suspicion when they leave the room.
"Ready?" Adam asked even though he gladly would have taken her again.
Katie nodded, "Yeah, I'm ready."
'Dang.' Adam thought, but took her hand smiling anyway. Katie smiled back gently squeezing his hand. "Then lets go," He said heading to the door. They stayed hand in hand as they headed down the hall. "So, what now we have another hour and twenty minutes," Adam said.
"Pick pretty much any type of room you can think of." She told him.
"Uh weapons?" He asked.
"Right this way." She said leading him there. Adam followed her smiling.
"Ready?" Katie asked.
Adam nodded, "I'm ready."
She pushed the door open to reveal a room that was dark purple with green light up hooks and lights along the walls and and holographic table that presented a map and a globe with bases of both sides marked in each country.
"Where's the weapons?" He asked looking around impressed. She pushed another button and all the hooks had different weapons dropped into them. "Wow! You guys really do have everything."
"I know right?" She said smiling her dazzling smile at him. He looked around at all the different weapons, some of which he's never even seen before. "It's got everything right?" Katie asked leaning on his shoulder.
"Well, it does until you leave." He said wrapping his arm around her.
"Aw, you are a charmer," She said kissing his neck then his cheek
"It's not like what I say isn't true."
"Thank you," She said trailing kisses towards his mouth
Once she reached his mouth, he pulled her in deepening the kiss.
"If only we had the time," She said between kisses.
"I know right." Adam said between kisses. "After the raid."
"I am holding you to that," Katie said leaning as close to him as she could
"No complaints there." He said with a smile.
"Good," She said happily.
"How much time do we have anyways?" Adam asked.
"About an hour and ten minutes," Katie said
"Then should we look around some more or what should we do."
"Don't we have to come here before the mission anyway?" Adam asked.
Katie nodded, "Of course."
"We could just stay here," Adam said.
"What would we do?" Katie asked.
"I don't know pick weapons?"
Katie nodded. "Sound like a plan."
"Good, I like arrows, do we have those?" Adam asked. Katie nodded and led him over to a whole variety of archery supplies. "You are good," Adam said.
"That what I keep telling you." Katie said with a smile.
"Well now I agree," Adam said.
"Good, see anything you like?" Katie asked.
"That black bow and arrows," Adam said.
Katie got them down for him. "They're trick arrows actually, each one does something different."
"That is awesome!" Adam said
"Doesn't Firestorm have trick arrows though?"
"Not like these," Adam said.
Katie went over each of them in the quiver her choose basically covering everything imaginable. Adam followed her lead grabbing two quivers full. "It truly is impressive." Katie commented.
"Yeah it is," Adam said.
"Anything else?" She asked.
"Knives," Adam said.
"Right over there." She directed pointing to them.
"Curved blade?" He asked.
"Plenty of curved blades, pick one you like." So he did. "Excellent choice."
"Thanks," He said as the others entered.
"Wow!" They awed looking around.
"I know right?" Adam asked
"This is incredible, how do you even get this stuff?" Isabella asked looking around.
"It's a multibillion dollar company," Katie shrugged.
"Still! Where do you even find them?" Isabella asked.
"All around the world," Katie said.
"And we can pick anything we want?" Isabella asked.
"Anything," Katie said. They divided looking for weapons they like.
"Ready?" Adam asked a little bit later. Everyone nodded.
"Then lets go I want to get back," Katie said.
Adam smiled at this and they headed back to Vanessa.
She sat in her office going over papers. "We're ready when you are." Katie told her.
"Good then let's go," She said. They all head back to the hoverlimo.
"Now then this is it once the mission is over they will know what side you're on," Vanessa said.
At that, everyone but Katie, Adam, and Vanessa took a step back in sudden uncertainty. "What's the matter?" Vanessa asked.
"It's just..." Isabella started but couldn't finish.
"Worried?" Vanessa asked. They nodded honestly.
"Well we could postpone the raid," She offered. They were unsure. "Okay we will,"
"Agreed, that would be best, then." Katie said.
"Yeah," Adam said
"Then it's agreed. Back to the base then."
"Sounds good to me!" Katie said. She grabbed Adam's arm and half dragged him off.
Where are they off to?" James asked.
"That's private." She said then was gone.
"Where are we going?" Adam asked
"YOU know." Katie said.
"I know what we are going to do I wanted to know what room?" Adam asked.
"Well, not the kitchen. How about my room?" Katie suggested so only Adam can hear.
"Sounds good to me," Adam said smiling widely. She half dragged him to her bedroom.
"Ah, alone at last," She said locking the door.
He lifted her onto the bed. "A promise is a promise."
"Then come on," She said with seductive smile pulling him to her.
"Yep, better everytime." Katie said once they were done.
"I have to agree," Adam said kissing her cheek from his spot next to her
Katie giggled. "Make you wonder how your sister only did it once."
"I don't think she found the perfect person," Adam said sadly.
"Well, I guess that is true." She said leaning into him. "She will eventually though."
"Honestly, I think she may have, but I may be wrong," Adam said starring at her.
Katie shrugged, "It would be rude to ask."
"Yeah it would, so what now?" He asked.
"Not sure. What do you want to do?"
"Games?" He offered.
"Alright."
Adam kissed her deeply, "Race you?" He asked between kisses
"We should get our clothes back on first." Katie reminded.
"I guess," He sighed.
"After that." She said getting up and trying to find where her clothes wounded up.
"I threw your pants in the bathroom," Adam said.
"Thanks." She said going to get them.
"Do we have poor self-control?" Adam asked pulling on his boxers.
"I guess you could say that." She said with a shrug.
"Is that bad?" He asked.
"I don't think so." She said with a smirk getting her pants on.
"Me either, it's just not good for missions," Adam said sliding into his shirt
"I'm pretty sure it won't make a difference on missions, we not THAT bad." She said sliping on her shirt.
"Fair enough," Adam shrugged. Katie went back over and kissed him. "You win all arguments this way," He said between kisses.
"I guess that's an added bonus."
"For which one of us?"
"Both." She said simply. Adam could not help but agree as he kissed her.
