Author Note: Last we left off where Shuala Cooper, daughter of Sly begins to work up the techniques passed down through the Cooper lineage. With the Spire Jump finally perfected the trip to Japan can be on the way. But Konani had something special planned for Bentley since his birthday was coming up.

Before I have worried if I been doing something wrong since Shuala is 15 in this story. Apparently not, the age consent in France is 15. Its not considered kidnapping that she left the country.

Chapter 10: Trip to Japan

As the days began to past to the day of departure of heading to Japan. Konani paced around the hall very early that morning past the door to the lab where her father, Bentley, was at.

She took a deep breath. "I can do this... Just have to give him the card right now."

She did have a bigger better present to give him, but leaving it to her room. She clenched a little tight to the card in hand and soon slowly opened the door to the lab. Carefully looking around she realized her father was busy working on some things, carefully and nervously she lowered and snuck over to him. Lightly gulping to stay quiet she carefully tried to slip the card into his chair.

"Hmm? Konani?" Bentley wondered, turning to her causing her to jump. "Trying to be sneaky huh?"

Konani stood up and lowered head hiding the card behind her back. "M-maybe..."

Bentley look to her. "Konani, about the heist before... I'm sorry I forced you to take part in it without properly training you for it or more importantly ask you first if you wanted to.

Konani looked up a little surprised and smiled. "Its ok daddy~ It was really fun."

Bentley smiled as well with her. "Glad you're fine with it. But I'm still sorry for what I did."

Konani hugged him to reassure it was fine, Bentley hugged back. "I'm really grateful to have you as a daughter, Konani."

Once Konani let go to show herself smiling on how much she enjoyed hearing that, Bentley scooted back a little away from her looking down. "Also I like to be honest with you about something. And dont take it the wrong way. But before, I had no intention of adopting or having any kids. But when I heard about you, something reached out to me besides that fact I knew this day was coming when a Cooper kid was going to go all out as the next Cooper. But... its what I see in you. We may not be blood relatives, but in you I do see a bit of myself having the adventure of a life time and being with friends. I just had to give you the life you deserve."

Konani really became surprised and started to tear up smiling more. "Daddy... Thank you."

Bentley was nearly about to cry himself but smiled mostly on how happy she was. "Now how about we get on that plane to Japan?"

Konani nodded in response ready for the next adventure to soon happen.

And later on, on the plane things were a little... awkward.

Shuala leaned on the window looking out letting out a sigh. "I wish I sent one more letter back home before we left..."

Konani rolled her eyes a little, Shuala went and leaned towards her and smiled. "I was only joking Konani. If I did that then they be where we went. And I dont want to be hunted down by by both my mom and brother."

"Yea, that be really bad." Konani said and Shuala sat back and placed on headphones.

Konani looked to her other side at Elian who looked a bit uneasy nearly trembling, concerned she grabbed some headphones and handed them to her. "Here Eli. Listen to some realizing music, ti might help."

Elian hesitated and took them. "Thanks..."

Author note: Poor Elian and her fear of heights. Almost like skysickness? Is that a thing? like being seasick, but in the sky? I'll shut up now. I'll see you guys in the next chapter~ Love to hear what you think so far so I'll continue.
