Competition
Taina had always been one for competition.
Just because they checked her discipline at the door doesn't mean her brain would change.
Caveira checked the cams only to spot a single enemy.
As if sensing they were spotted, the figure disappeared from the cam.
Interesting, like Vigil's ability but suited for the bulk of attacking instead of defending.
Boring.
No sound, not a single footstep was heard before the cams when out.
Interesting.
Caveira looked up from the cams.
"We've got a spooky bitch girls, keep all eye's on the shadows." Caveira murmured into the comms.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Frost replied, uncertain.
"It seems she has Vigils ability to disappear from cams and my ability to remain silent. Of course not as silent as me because I obviously am the best, but her abilities have been modified to fit the benefits of having them in the attacking team."
"That's absolutely fucking brilliant," Ela exclaimed.
"Guys keep it together, keep your mind in the game." Valkyrie interrupted.
"Cavy I'm sure you'll be able to track her down and my black eyes should be able to get a ping on her. Don't stress it."
Gods Taina loved her. No matter the situation Taina could always feel assured around Meghan.
"I'm activating Silent Step and going on the lookout, keep your awareness up."
And with that comms closed.
Caveira had activated Silent Step and was riding the shadows. Looking for this new...Competition.
A noise. The sound of an ability deactivating.
"Guys get on cams I think she's—.' Caveira was cut off by a grab to the shoulder and a knife to her throat.
"I don't want to hurt you." The voice behind her said.
"What do you want then?"
"The Hostage."
"How come?"
"He has the information we seek to extract from him, we do not wish to kill him or anyone, but if it comes to any needed act of violence we will not hesitate."
"What do you mean by we?"
"The Jäger Ops. You may call me Nøkk."
"So...You're Dutch?"
"Danish, of the sorts. Do you wish to cooperate?"
"Is the safety of my colleges ensured?"
"Positive."
Caveira decided this would be the wisest route to take. If these people decided to turn on them, she'd be ready, and if they kept to the agreement that's a win-win for her team.
"Follow me."
Caveira lead Nøkk to the team where ultimately the hostage would be.
As soon as Caveira entered the room with Nøkk behind her the whole team had their weapons aimed at Nøkks head.
"Guys don't shoot. We have an agreement."
"Agreement?" Valkyrie asked.
"Yes and agreement, Nøkk here just wants to extract information from the hostage then give them back, they do not wish to murder the hostage."
"That's a pack load of bullshit if I've ever heard it," Mute said blandly.
Everyone stopped to look at Mute.
"What, I'm not actually mute."
"I don't lie, I stay true to my word." Nøkk turned to face Caveira.
"You may trust me."
"What's the reason to trust you?" Valkyrie asked.
"I have no gain in killing the lot of you, I seek to serve my orgy, killing you wouldn't be beneficial to them or me. Only extracting the needed information from the hostage."
"What's the catch?"
"Smart one, see none of my colleges nor me has to ability to extract information from people as efficiently as Caveira here has. We wish to ask you if you are optimistic about getting the information we need to form the hostage for us."
Caveira looked over to Nøkk.
"And that's all you wish from me?"
"Positive."
"Alright then."
It had been 10 minutes since that Nøkk bitch step foot into the room and Meghan still didn't trust her.
She hadn't shown any form of violence and had simply asked for Taina to interrogate the hostage for her, but Meghan had always been that on edge type.
It was another 5 minutes before Caveira came out of the small kid's bedroom.
"Alright, Nøkk I've got the information you needed."
"Lovely."
It took a quick 3 minutes for Taina to explain the information she had extracted from the hostage to Nøkk.
"Thank you for your help, I'm afraid I'll have to be on my way back to HQ."
Nøkk bid us farewell with a handshake and thanks and went on her way.
It was not until Meghan was alone in a getaway car with Taina before she spoke.
"Well, that was interesting."
"Indeed."
"You seem troubled." Meghan went up to Taina and took her hands. "Talk to me."
Taina sighed.
"Her voice seemed so similar. So very similar. Like my-Like my sister's voice..."
Taina had told Meghan about her sister, how she loved her so much and would never forget the day she lost her and her father.
"Babe it's ok. I know how painful that day was for you. Don't ever be afraid to voice your feelings to me."
Taina stared at her intently, seeming satisfied she leaned in to give a soft kiss to Meghan's lips before tucking her in for a tight embrace.
"I will forever love you, Meghan."
