*An Hour Later*

The girls were having a good time sitting on the floor by Ash's bed, sipping away on the bottles of vodka. "Where'd you get this stuff Eliza?" Cavi asked, taking a small sip from her plastic red cup. Ash laughed herself silly for moment before replying, "I think from Shuhrat." She had downed half the bottle and was showing drunk signs, where as Taina was barely drinking and was pretty sobered up. "So why ask me to drink of all people?" Cavi asked, setting her drink to the side.

Ash wrapped her arm around her colleagues shoulder and reeled her in close, "I am going to be very honest with you. I think I like you." she responded, letting out a heavy belch and taking another swig of her drink. Cav's face lit up like a fire, with surprise and embarrassment, "Y-You like me?" she stuttered. Before the Brazilian could gather what was said, Ash pressed her lips against hers, leaving Taina with arousement, anxiety, and fright dancing around her mind.

It had been approximately two minutes into the suprise kiss before Cavi settled down to enjoy the moment. Ash took control of the mouth to mouth action, getting a firm taste of her partners mouth. Soon after, Taina started tasting the alcohol flowing from Eliza's breath and pulled away. "Wait," Cav started, "Your drunk. I can't do this." Ash belched and made her way back up onto her feet, "Wait, why not?" she added. Taina headed to the front door and began walking out, "I...I don't know." she replied and walked out.

A confused Cav ran walked back to the rec room where Frost still resided, talking to Valkyrie. Taina approached the couch her friend was at, "Meghan go away." Valk was confused, "Why? I was here first." Cavi quickly grew irritated, "Leave before I give you two extra black eyes." she growled. Meghan stood up, "Ok ok. Damn." she muttered as she stood and walked away. Frost looked at Taina with confusion, "What's wrong? Did you and Ms. Cohen have fun?" Tina questioned. "We kissed." Taina answered, feelings of confusion and sadness filling her head. Frost moved closer to her friend and tried to comfort her, "Why feel so bad about it? Isn't that what you were hoping for?" "Yea it is," Cav started, "but she was drunk and I'm pretty sure anything she said was gonna be true the next morning."

*The Next Morning*

Thermite, IQ, Ela, and Hibana all waited for their friendly FBI op, Ash, in the cafeteria. To their surprise, there she was, stumbling in with her hand on her head, still wearing her clothes from last night. She sat down with her friends and placed her head down on the table, sounding off with grunts and moans of pain. The group paused and watched her shamble on the table, not saying a word. "You little hungover bitch." a voice yelled from behind the group. It was none other than Kapkan. He came walking to Ash's table, anger in his eyes. Luckily, no attention was drawn to them as he approached.

"What do you want Maxim, I can't really do this right now." Ash groaned. "You think you can just DRINK Russian vodka and not feel horrible the next day?" Thermite walked over to the side with the Russian, "Hey man c'mon, she ain't feeling it right now." he asserted as he got closer to Kapkan. "Oh, I know. I had the same shit last night and my head is blasting right now. The onky difference is that I know how to handle this shit." Thermite looked puzzled, "How'd you know she was hungover?" he asked, looking back to his partner. "A Russian know's the smell of his own vodka." Kapkan laughed and walked away.

Thermite sat back down and continued drinking his coffee. "So did your plan work?" Ela asked, taking a bite into her pancake. Ash rose up from her agony and looked at her friends, "No. She thought I was drunk when we uhhh..." she paused. "What? What did you two do?" IQ questioned. "We kissed." Ela dropped her fork, IQ put her coffee down, while Thermite and Hibana choked on theirs. "No fucking way." Thermite replied, clearing his throat of coffee.

Shortly after, Caveira, Jackal, Twitch, Mira, and Frost made their way to the café and sat at the table nearby Ash's group. Ela's face dropped to nervousness when Mira looked at her. "What's wrong Ela?" Hibana asked, getting the remaining coffee from her throat. "Oh, uhhh, nothing." Ela replied, steadily sipping her coffee. She looked back the other tables and saw that Mira was approaching her, all her gear was on since she had a mission soon. She leaned into Ela's hear, "Round two...now." she whispered and walked away. Ela stood from the table and dumped her stuff in the bin across the room and came back. "Sorry guys, gotta go." Ela sighed and walked out. Thermite stood next and turned to Cavs table, "Yo Ryad! C'mere for a sec." he yelled and walked away from the table.

"So...you two...kissed." Hibana stated, breaking the silence. "I guess she wasn't expecting it to happen." IQ added, sipping her warm coffee. "Ok yea, the plan didn't work. She thought I was drunk and I guess she bought it." Ash exclaimed. "Just go talk to her and see what happens." Hibana replied, standing from the table. Ash sighed and stood up, brushing her shorts and shirt off. Cavi looked up from her phone and saw Eliza approaching her with nervouseness swelling her face. "Eliza, hey." Taina called out to her, "You ok? Your face is red." Ash grabbed her hand and the two went outside to the breezeway next to the café. Cavi looked worried and confused, "What's wrong?" she asked. Eliza took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Listen, I think I like you."
