~A year later~
Cinder lied on the hospital bed unconscious hooked up to a ventilation system. "It's really weird actually, it's like she's frozen." Both Emerald and Mercury looked at each other and raised an eyebrow. "All her vitals are in tacked just not moving but she's alive somehow, although her breathing is slow." The man in the white coat rolled in his chair to grab some printed papers then handed them to Charles. "I'll have to run through some more tests before I can figure out what's wrong." Charles looked down at the paper his dark brown eyes skimming each word. "Thanks for everything Jim." Charles said putting out his hand with Jim taking it and shaking it. "Anything for a friend." Jim said back with a smile. Jim rolled his chair back to his work station Charles walked up to the metal desk and set a wad of cash down. "Your a friend take this as a favor." Charles ignored him and pushed the wad of cash closer to him. "No. I mean it you deserve..." Charles voice faded as Emerald walked away from the two bickering men. "Whelp this sucks." She heard a Mercury say she ignored him and kept walking and of course his footsteps followed. "Look Mercury I'm not in the mood for any of your dumb ass ranter or half ass jokes. Just leave me alone." Emerald snapped at him. "We'll sorry for trying to start a conversation." He said turning around only to be met by Charles. "Head to the car." Was all Charles said.
Once in the car it was silent no radio was playing Emerald sat in the back seat looking out the window too upset to say anything. Mercury sat one seat over from her looking out the other window. "How long till we get there?" Mercury whined his eyes meeting with Charles in the rear view mirror. "How old are you again?" Charles asked. "Why do you need to know?" Mercury snapped back. "Your a little to whinny and fresh for me. But trust me while living in my house that will change quickly." Charles stated Mercury chuckled at his response. "I doubt that." "You really think so?" Charles said pulling into the drive way of the house.
The house was simple, it was black and white on the outside and seemed too have two floors. Yet when you walked inside it was huge, before you entered the living room you had to walk down a short hallway. Once they entered the living room they had to walk down three steps and were met with a couch in front of a fire place. To top it all off their was a big glass chandelier in the middle of the room. Mercury whistled. "Damn, Fancy" he said. "Do you ever I dunnon shut up?" Emerald said pushing past Mercury as he laughed lightly. "Nope." Mercury responded Emerald rolled her eyes. "The kitchen is to your right through that door there is also there is a door leading to the basement that is a training and work out area. For now Jett will show you to your rooms." Charles explained as if on cue Jett apperaded by the foot of the stairs. He wore the same thing as he did in the last encounter a dark brown muscle tank that went with his eyes and black military pants with combat boots.
"I see you still dress the same." Mercury shot at him. "I see you still have the same mouth." Jett said back. "I don't care how you do it, but get along good enough to work together. This is also not a suggestion but a order." Charles said causing the two boys to turn in his direction. Mercury turned back and smirked at Jett who just sighed and rolled his eyes. "Let me show you to your room you punk. Emerald I'll show you to your room after Mercury." He said as they walked up stairs together. Okay was all she said as she went to sit down on the couch.
The second floor of the house was just as simple as the rest of the house. It was a hallway with rooms on each side. Mercury guessed the rooms were fairly big telling from the space in-between each one of them. "This ones yours." Jett said opening the door on the left. It was a basic room one bed against the wall, a window,a small dresser draw and a closet. "Right here." Jett said pushing opening a door near the dresser. "Is the bathroom."
"Where's your sister?" Mercury randomly asked trowing his bag on the bed and laying down on it.
"Why do you need to know?" Jett asked now leaning against the wall.
"Just wondering, that's all." Mercury answered back.
"I don't know what the hell you're implying but you stay away from my sister."
"You really think I want your sister." Mercury chuckled. "You can get out."
"Excuse me?" Jett said pushing off the wall his hands curled into fists. "You heard me, get out of my room." Jett closed his eyes and inhaled in and out and then stared to leave the room he stopped in the door way and then turned. "Be down in ten minutes." Jett said coldly.
~Ten minutes later~
Emerald and Mercury were all ready in the living room for the briefing of the mission Charles had for them. They sat on the couch together as Jett strolled in and shot Mercury a dirty look. "We know you don't like me spare me the look please." Mercury said. "Hmm. I'll remember that when you're getting your ass is getting kicked and you need me to save you." Jett flashed him smile which caused Mercury to smirk back at him. "You guys were probably brothers in another life." Emerald commented. "Please if I was his brother I'd-" Jett was cut off by the sound of his dad clearing his throat which was also his way of saying shut up.
"Nice for you to join us Xhadow." Charles said as he did everyone looked up at the stair case. She was wearing dark gray knee high boots with black leather skinny jeans. Her shirt stopped a little bit above her hips her belly showing a bit. The top of the shirt was low cut with two straps on either side connecting to one strap around her neck. The shirt was all black except for the left and right sides which were dark purple the whole outfit was topped off with a dark gray leather jacket.
Her jet black hair was put into a high ponytail and her bangs were swept to the left side covering one eye some what, the ends of her hair were still purple. It was hard to believe this was the same girl from last year. "Your drooling." Emerald commented as she elbowed Mercury. "Ouch" "You should hit him harder." Jett said. "That's enough!" Charles snapped at his son. Which caused Mercury to throw another smirk in his direction. In all that time Xhadow had already sat down to her brothers right. "The mission is simple get in then get out with the money. But do not hurt or kill the boss. His office is located here." He said pointing to the map with a laser pointer. "I've sent maps to all your scrolls with the location. You will be brought their by plane." Charles explained.
~ A hour later ~
They were dropped off a mile away from their target point."We get in there slip in and out, got it." Jett explained once they were in eye shot. "A) We know that and B) Who put you in charge?" Mercury chimed in. Jett rolled his eyes for the hundreth time that night. "You guys know your positoion just go."
Xhadow and Emerald were the ones to slip in and get the cash while Jett and Mercury were look outs. Xhadow and Emerald came in from the roof and we're now on a platform over looking everything in front of them were boxes so they were some what hidden. There were a few thugs on the floor level loading something into the warehouse. "The office is there." Xhadow pointed to a door that was on a second level but was on a different platform then theres. There were two guards with guns by the stairs leading up to the room. "I can make the guards think you're invisible." Emerald said.
Xhadow asumed this had to do with a semblance she had so she just went with it. "I'll give you a count down when you get close enough." Emerald said Xhadow shook his head. Xhadow swiftly made her way down the stairs. Xhadow managed to duck behind some chairs and then hid behind a random bar. There were three thugs on the main floor. "Be careful with those boxes! The boss will have our head if even one is broken." One thug said. "Got it." Another one said. Xhadow watched from the bar as they all went to the left to asist the other guy and Xhadow. She waited for her move
Emerald started to speak into the ear piece they both had on.
3...2...1...GO!
Once Emerald said go Xhadow started to tiptoe by them. "Wanna get something to eat after this?" One of them said. "Sure." A young looking one said. Xhadow was now half way up the stairs when...
BAM!
Gun fire could be heard as well as someone yell, "We have intruders!"
This can only mean one thing: Someone fucked up.
Xhadow was knocked out of her thoughts when a bullet went flying by her head. "Another one! How did she even get passed us?" She took out her dual sword and clicked them together and swiftly shot the both of them which caused them to knock out. To her luck the door to the office was open and to her bigger luck the safe was in site. Everything was out in the open for the taking. "Idiot." She whispered to herself.
She walked up to it and took out a small knife from her pocket then slipped it into the space between the door and the edge. "I believe you are the idiot." Xhadow sighed then looked up to see a gun pointed at her. All she did was smile and then waved by and disappeared into the floor below her. The guy looked around confused pointing his gun in every direction. Then Xhadow came from the left side with a spin kick this causing the gun to be knocked out of his hand. "The fuck kind of semblance was that?!" He said. "Keep guessing." She said taking out one of her duel swords.
The blade sliced throughhis clothing to reveal he was wearing some sort armor on both his arms. Well at least he wasn't a complete idoit. "Good try little girl" He said with a laugh which she just kicked him in the stomach. "It may protect your arms but not anything else. The passcode now." Her voice booming even over the gun fire. "Heh. You'll never get it." Xhadow took it as a challenge and was going to intarigate him more, but then she noticed.
He was holding something in his right pocket, Xhadow caught on quickly what it was. "Shit." Xhadow said running away. "That's right little girl run." He said. Xhadow pressed the button on her ear peice fast.
"Guys we have to get out of here he has a-"
But it was too late. The bomb went off and the whole building blew.
