"You, you have a sister?" Hardison sputters out, eyes bulging like they do whenever something just doesn't seem to fit in with his spectrum of knowledge. Nate, Sophie, and Eliot all have matching faces of shock. Eliot muttering "great more crazy people."
"Not technically but she might as well be we found each other on the streets and then Archie trained us both" Parker explains, with a small happy smile on her face like when she is talking about a new harness.
"That's nice but will she stab us in the back" Eliot questions.
"Nope."
"Is she as good as you?" Sophie asks from the chair across from Hardison.
"Yes"
"Can she follow directions?" Nate asks because as far as Parker has come in the last year and a half of working together as a team she tended to be a little off kilter at points.
"Yes"
"How come I never heard of her, Archie didn't even mentioned her when he said he taught you?" Nate questioned wondering how Tigger never came up in any capacity even when he worked at IYS because he had tracked Sophie, Hardison, Eliot, and Parker at one time or another.
"She's good at what she does and Archie and I protect her"
"Call her," Nate stated. With that Parker left the room to make a call to Tigger.
After she left, each member looks at each other with questioning looks of what they got themselves into with another Parker coming. Sophie looks at Nate and asks the one question that has been plaguing her mind since Parker said she had a sister, "she is finally starting to trust us" with a happy smile on her face.
"How can you say that?" Eliot questions.
"Well she told us she has a sister and we get to meet said sister, but my question is who names a person Tigger" Sophie questions the last part being heard by Parker who quietly enters the room without anyone noticing.
"I did" Parker states making everyone turn abruptly at the voice in the room, Sophie, Hardison, and Nate jumping a bit at the sudden voice, while Eliot just turned his body language showing no signs of panic.
Sophie gives her a look of go on, yet Parker doesn't seem phased and after a few moments of not talking, Sophie verbalizes the want of an explanation.
"Couldn't say you all the time, so I gave her a name."
Hardison looks at her hand on keys ready to type and asks "doesn't she have another name?"
"Yes, but she said it could be used against her because then people can track her." With that Hardison let's his hands drop because apparently he doesn't get to read about Tigger in greater depth.
With that they continued to look at the schematics of the heist with no more questions verbally asked about Tigger, but plenty running through the hacker, retrieval specialist, con artist, and masterminds heads. At the end of the day Nate looks around and says, "Okay we leave tomorrow at 8 for New York and Dave Braxton wont know what hit him."
