"Did this drive itself here?" Liz asks, dumbfounded by the tech I have.
"Technically yes, but Garret controlled it remotely for a bit. I have to pilot now."
"You know how to drive this thing?" Zach asks.
"Yep. Now shush. Let me drive." I pilot the thing until we don't see the school anymore.
...
I start the lading process, which is piloting the hover copter into a cave and then almost crashing into a wall. I knew fully well that it would scare everyone, so I had my fun.
"BLOODY HELL! Cammie, don't do that ever, and I MEAN EVER again." Bex is the first to come off the copter screaming at me, followed by the rest who instead of yell at me gasp at their surroundings. I smirk and then smile.
"Welcome to Headquarters." I say, still not quite explaining myself. I motion for everyone to follow me.
"Alright before we go in, I need you to put on the rings. It's the only way to get in. Unless, you're me." I have them step into the scan room.
A panel in the far left of the completely empty room emerges. I stand in front of the panel and put my hand with my ring in the hand scanner. Then I stand in front of the retinal scanner.
"Identified: Cameron Ann Morgan. Black Ring Holder. Leader of the Misfits." The others stare at me as if I had grown two heads.
"Misfits?" Liz and a few others ask in confusion. My mother and Aunt Abby's eyes are bulging in disbelief.
"The Misfits have been a secret organization, thought to be legend, of people who just casually save the world in mysterious ways. Many disasters have been averted because of them. They are basically superheroes of the CIA and any other government funded organization." My mom says with her hand on her chin.
"Although most of the information has been false, or just hasn't been proved until now. And the leader is standing in front of us." Aunt Abby looks at me with pride and a smile.
"Glad to be of service. So, I need you to do exactly what I did. The rings are now programed to you now, so you should have no problems." I say as Zack is the first one to scan.
After five more scans, the door opens and we go into the first room. The tech lab, mostly for Garret. Speak of the devil.
"Ah! Lass, you're back!" A booming Scottish accent sets everyone on edge. I two men coming towards me. Everyone gets into defensive positions, except for Zack and I. The two men reach me and both give me giant bear hugs.
"Squeezing too tight guys!" I say out of breath. The both let go, embarrassed. I laugh and turn to my family and friends.
"This is Roland and Garret. Liz and Macey you have their rings. Roland was our tech guy despite his size. Garret there is more about seeing what everyone else doesn't." Macey and Liz look at their blue and red rings.
"You didn't tell them about us?" Roland's accent rushes out.
"She didn't have time, remember? We only have an hour to explain some things." Garret looks at the Scotsman and rolls his eyes.
"Oh, right. So, Lass, this is your family?" Roland asks. I nod.
"Anyone whose family with this Lass is my family too." Roland goes over to my friends and family and gives them all a giant bear hug.
"Alright guys, I need to finish the tour and my explanations. You can chat with them later." I give Roland and Garret a look that tells them to go. They both nod and go into another room.
"Alright really quick tour before we begin, otherwise I might not have enough time to fully explain the situation."
I show them the kitchen where we meet Grayson who is the one who messed with my mind and the previous owner of Zack's ring. He's our "boom" technician. Then we move into the training room where we find Romy and Skye, the former owners of Bex and Abby's rings and our "let's go kick butt" twins of the team. Lastly, the living room which is the last of the rooms besides the bedrooms is May. She is the former owner of my mom's ring and the former leader of the Misfits before giving leadership to me. May sees us coming and her eyes brighten.
"You all must be Cameron's family. I am May, the former leader. Ah, I see my ring has found a new bearer." She gracefully glides over to my mother and holds her hands.
"I see...you are perfect for this ring. I see why she chose you all for this mission. It's been a long time coming." May says thoughtfully.
She gives me a nod and then slips out of the room.
"She seems nice, but these people are a lot younger than I thought that they would be since they are retired. Well, retiring." Liz looks curious.
"Looks are deceiving..." I say.
"Speaking of looks, Cam. You can change back now." Macey tells me.
I twist my ring and change back to me. Macey looks at me up and down.
"You've gained some muscles." She notes grinning at the fact that I actually have muscles.
"And a new fashion sense." Bex says. I'm wearing dark jeans, a black tank top, leather jacket and some all black convers.
"I guess..."
"So, lets see that tattoo on your arm." Macey says, and I glare at her.
"What? I saw your wrist." She shrugs innocently.
"Fine." I grumble in annoyance and take my jacket off. I show off my, new to them, tattoos. The one on my wrist is the Misfits' "label" if you will. The one peaking out of my shirt on my chest is a mark of an organization I was forced to join and the last is the brand from the C.O.C. Each of them look me up and down, almost like they are seeing a whole new me.
"Cammie, what are these?" Abby asks, as she see the many scars I have. I turn away and grab my jacket a little too quickly. They all know that they've hit a sore subject. I pull my jacket closer to my body.
"Things that I'm not quite ready to talk about, but they are apart of my story. The one I said that I would tell you in full detail." I look at each of them.
"I've done some things...things that..." I trail off not wanting to sound cheesy.
"Why don't we go to the conference room and I can tell you there." I point. As we walk, a awkward silence falls upon my head.
We reach the door and setting into the color coded chairs, funny enough everyone is sitting in the color their rings are. I sigh again and then begin my tale.
