*TIME SKIP TO WHEN ACHERON AND STYX ARE SEVENTEEN*
Xiamara watched as her children competed with Ben in the newest COD game and laughed when they beat Ben for the third time in a row. She got up and then went into the kitchen to check on the snacks that Jason was supposed to be preparing for their movie night. When she got to the doorway she raised a questioning eyebrow at him.
"Why are you glaring at Ben like that instead of doing what you were supposed to?"
"I'm making sure he doesn't do anything," he said as his eyes took on a greenish glow. She turned around just in time to see Ben brush a piece of stray hair behind Styx's ear. Jason let out a deep growl as he started forward.
Xia grabbed his arm and pushed him back into the kitchen. "No. Let them be. You have work to do."
"Yes. And that work involves ripping that elf to shreds so that he keeps his hands away from my daughter."
Xiamara started laughing at that as she thought of the father she grew up with. "You sound just like my father when I first started dating Adrian. Except you don't have a gun to clean right in front of Ben."
Jason paused as he thought of something. "I don't, but you do."
"No. Masky has a gun that I train with and have also taught Ash and Styx to use, along with the powers they inherited from me. And you need to make the snacks and leave Ben and Styx alone. Just think of it this way. Would you rather her be with Ben who can help her further master two of her powers and teach her to do important skills like hack, or Jeff who is an annoying asshole that is as bipolar, if not more, as you are."
Jason paused as he processed that information. "She has a crush on Jeff to. I'll kill him." He then paused before turning to Xiamara. "How do you know all this?"
"A mother has her ways of finding out these things. Especially if her daughter doesn't know that said mother has telepathic abilities and is constantly debating with herself about who she likes more."
Just as he was about to respond Slender came into the kitchen and waved for you two to follow him. He led you two into his office and shut the door. "We have a problem," he said when he turned to face them. "There's a spy and they've done well to make sure that I don't pick up on their thoughts or plans."
Xiamara cursed under her breath. If there was a spy then they most likely know all of the details of their plan and the fact they were planning on attacking Zalgo in about three weeks. "Do you have any clues or suspects as to who they are? Or at least any way to know if there is an actual traitor?"
"Someone was in here going through all of the plans and notes we had made over the past ten years and they forgot to put the file back in the correct order nor the correct cabinet. Luckily they didn't find the files that held what you and your small family were going to do before they heard me coming back up here." Slender sighed as he placed his fingers to the bridge of his nose. "I have moved the plans to a more secure location but we need to locate the imbecile before we review the plan with the others."
Xiamara wanted to shout in frustration until she got an idea. "How about we trick them into revealing themselves?"
Jason turned his glowing green eyes and distorted face to stare at his love. "What do you mean trick them?"
"Narrow down the list to a few and then trick them into saying their the culprit by blaming one of their friends," Xia explained as she looked between the two. "My father did is a few times when he was still part of the police force and allowed me to watch a few interrogations when I showed interest in becoming an officer as well. He tricked the person into confessing by saying that the evidence pointed towards someone close to their heart and that it was only a matter of time before the arrest warrant was signed. The guy confessed and described exactly how he pulled of the crime." She looked to Slenderman and shrugged. "The other pastas are mostly humans that have been turned, it's always possible that the same tricks would work."
Slender nodded as he thought through her plan. It could work. "I already know that it couldn't have been my proxies because they were with me at the time. Plus it had to be someone with the power to teleport in some form or another because i didn't see anyone exit the room as I was coming up and no one was on this floor."
"So that narrows it down to Puppeteer, both LJ's, Candy Cane, Candy Pop, your brothers, and Morivin," Xia said as she thought about every Pasta she had met that had the power to do so.
Slender went over her list of possible suspects. "Candy Pop and his siblings haven't been here since New Years, Trenderman has been up in New York to busy disgracing our family with his chosen career, Splendorman couldn't have done it because he's him, and offender has been to busy doing his thing to even care. So that leaves Puppeteer, Laughing Jack and Laughing Jill as the only people possible."
Jason smirked as he got the perfect idea. "I have the best idea to get the LJ responsible to confess."
Slender nodded as he peaked into Jason's thoughts to view his thoughts. "And if there is more than one culprit we can figure out who their accomplice is."
"We find out who they are before the date we set aside for the attack, find out how much they revealed to Zalgo, and then we banish their asses for their betrayal," Xiamara said as if it was more simple than it actually was.
With that they went back downstairs and waited for the perfect moment to put their plan into motion.
