Holly looked up from her computer and tapped into the member's commlink, "You guys shouldn't have a visual yet, why are you that close?"
"Because Brenden decided it would be a good idea to get closer."
She quickly tapped into Brendon's commlink. "Brendon! Get your team back, you're going to get yourselves killed."
"No, we aren't. Attack!"
"For heaven's sake Brendon!" Holly slammed her fist against her desk before quickly typing on her computer and pulling up a screen to her brother and best friend Leon Bramble. and Cynthia Lawson both were alert, the camera angle shifting as they ran back to base. "Power Couple, Brendon's put his team in the suicide lane! Get over there and stop the bloodbath."
Cynthia nodded, her black hair billowing sideways in the wind, "Roger Holly, we're on our way." The camera shut off.
"Holly!" Haliah's voice came from a speaker, talking over her comlink, "We need backup! We're getting pummeled here!"
"Leon and Cynthia are on their way, don't panic, they'll be there in a few minutes."
"Should I give the order to retreat?"
"Yes, as co-captain they should listen to you."
"I'll try."
"Do your best, we want the lowest amount of injuries possible."
:) :) :)
"Brendan, get your team back," Leon said over the comlink from where he and Cynthia were sprinting towards the other group's position.
"Why?! We can handle this on our own!"
"Brendan, unless you want my fist in your face to get your team to retreat!" Cynthia snapped, interjecting into the conversation, "I have every right to punch you after what I heard about your escapade involving my sisters."
"Retreat!" Brendan yelled, not wanting to get beaten up by the annoyed girl.
"Good boy. I'm still going to punch you." Cynthia said flatly, they had nearly reached the scene and most of Brendan's team were already retreating, half of them were farther back with Haliah who was speaking quickly into her comlink.
"Here we go again!" Leon told Cynthia as the two jumped into the fray.
:) :) :) :) :)
Leon dragged Brendan by the collar to the base headquarters where Holly was waiting. Cynthia had to go get something -Leon suspected she wanted to get the blood off- so it was just him at the moment. He shoved the disobedient teen into the room and inwardly sighed, saving Brendan's behind seemed to be Leon's second job, of course, Cynthia was always there, so it was really both of their side jobs.
"Were you trying to get people killed?!" Holly asked Brendan, green eyes narrowed into a deadly glare, black hair up in a messy bun, and her usually fair skinned face pink from her annoyance and anger.
"No, we could've handled it!" The mentioned boy argued.
"How? With your supposed amazing looks?" Holly snapped sarcastically, "You're lucky the power couple was able to help you or it would've been a huge bloodbath!"
Leon inwardly rolled his eyes at the whole Power couple nickname. It made sense but that didn't mean he had to like it; the power couple name came from the idea that himself and Cynthia were linked together in many ways, they shared each other's abilities, preferences, thoughts, emotions, moods, and could even see through each other's eyes if they needed to. But they could and do borrow each other's powers. Like he could borrow Cynthia's selective senses or super speed and she could borrow his super strength or location depictor but most of the time they did it subconsciously. Hence, the power couple name.
"No! Well sorta. But I know how to fight and we could've handled it!"
The door swung open and Cynthia slipped into the room, "Like how you can handle my sisters?" She sniped, closing the door behind her and standing next to Leon. Whose hunch had been correct, she was out of her blood covered field gear and had changed to be wearing a casual t-shirt and skinny jeans with a light weight hoodie vest layered over it, a knife probably was hidden in her ankle boots with her hair up in a high ponytail.
"What?" Brendan spluttered, "What does that have to do with anything?"
"Only that you get yourself into complicated situations and have no idea what to do to get out of them." She replied before nodding to Leon who left to do as she had a few minutes ago.
"Look," Holly interrupted before Brendan could offend the feisty black haired girl who happened to be her best friend, "The point is you need to think before you act, it'll keep everyone safe and there won't be any blood shed. I don't want to bring Firen, Luxa, Bucky and or Orian into this."
"I'm sure he thinks about his actions Holly," Cynthia said bluntly. When Brendan grinned she turned the near compliment into an insult, "but I'm sure that's only when it involves his looks or Haliah and Paige." She snickered, blue eyes glinting with triumph.
Holly sighs, "Brendan, Haliah's leading the next field outing. Now scram, both of you. Cynthia, I expect you to keep the punching to a minimum and in the flat, not in the halls."
"So I can still punch him?"
"In the flat yes."
"Alright, well I'm heading back there for a while, are we doing anything out in the field later?"
"Maybe, Firen is with the other co-leaders, they're splitting up duties. Brendan leave." Holly said, pointing to the door. Brendan darted out and Cynthia went to leave also but Holly's next words stopped her in her tracks. "They're putting a few from the wind division into our flat."
"No," Cynthia groaned looking at her, "don't tell me."
Holly's expression confirmed it, "One of them is Hannah."
Cynthia cursed violently and she growled, managing to keep the growl normal and not a cat like a snarl. "Couldn't she go anywhere else!"
"I don't have that power Cindy, Hannah's one of the fastest warriors in the wind division and the leaders are switching a few things around."
"Why our flat?"
"Because she is higher ranked and our flat has all the higher ranked people in my sub she knows and listens to me she has to be in my sub division."
"Argh!" Cynthia threw her hands into the air, "I'm not having any more stupid excuses for why she has to go with Leon! He's my partner! Not hers!" she started pacing, "Oh! But I can't defend myself, oh! But he's so strong and she can defend herself but I can't! Blah blah blah blah blah!" She scowls, "I'm sick of it!"
"I know, that was a few years ago before the link was discovered and before you nearly died, I'm sure he won't fall for it this time."
Cynthia opens her mouth to say something but the door was flung open and Leon rushed in, his hair wet and dripping down his neck looking hassled. "What's wrong? Why're you so upset Cindy?" he asked turning to the girl with a worried expression, "Did something happen?"
"You're going to find out this evening," Cynthia growled through gritted teeth, blue eyes flashing.
"Alright?"
Blah blah blah blah blah
"What's going on?" Leon hissed to Cynthia, they and everyone else in the flat were standing in a line in the entry room, all wearing their different variations of field uniforms. A dark gray top and black bottoms. Leon's was in a dark gray muscle shirt and black camo cargo pants, a knife strapped to his thigh.
"You'll see." Cynthia hissed back, not turning to face him, she was in a dark gray thin strapped tank top and black skinny jeans, her lightweight pistol with sleep ammo tucked into the belt of her jeans, a knife hidden in her black running shoes.
"Quiet!" Holly hissed, glaring at the two whisperers. She was the only one not in field gear, instead, she was wearing a white half sleeve and black skirt, her laptop bag slung over one shoulder, her comlink connected eyepiece displaying complicated codes and numbers on the tiny screen. They obediently went silent, Leon was well aware of Cynthia's unease and couldn't understand why she was feeling that way.
The door opened and wind sub division leader Harry came in with two others trailing behind him. "Wind Sub division leader Harry, It's a pleasure to meet you again," Holly spoke politely, shaking his hand in the same manner.
"Same to you. I have the two who are going to be under your command. Braxton Crawford." The black haired boy stepped out from behind Harry and nodded slightly to Ivory who didn't react in return. "And Hannah Henderson." A lighter blonde haired girl stepped out from behind her leader and smiled cutely at amber eyes widened but he didn't move, instead, he sent the mental message or pure horror to Cynthia. Hannah and Cynthia locked eyes and Hannah smiled with mischief and competition while Cynthia's eyebrows furrowed and she silently growled, her lips a thin line. The competition between the two girls was high and heightened further as Cynthia moved slightly to clasp her left hand in Leon's right.
"Hi!" Hannah chirped happily, heather blue eyes glimmering with fierce competition directed towards Cynthia, anger simmering under the surface at other girl's action. Leon instinctively laced his fingers with Cynthia but was looking at Holly, amber eyes pleading. 'Save me!' He tried to plead to his sister with his eyes.
'I can't, sorry Leon.' Holly told him with her emerald green eyes, sympathy in the green depths.
