Blueeyeddevil06 thank you for being my awesome beta.
At lunchtime the next day, Amy whispered to Serena, "We need to go to the Crystal Academy after school. I've traced a hacking attempt back to them."
Serena nodded, "Let's meet with Luna and go from there."
Darien fidgeted in his seat at the arcade. Serena and Amy hadn't come in with Molly and Melvin after school. He didn't know how he was supposed to sit back and wait while she risked herself. He knew she was a highly skilled secret agent, but that didn't stop him from worrying about her. He sighed. Truthfully, he wasn't even sure she was risking herself. He just knew that she hadn't told him that she wouldn't be there after school. He had been looking forward to seeing her.
At that moment, Amy and Serena were meeting with Luna. Luna nodded at what Amy had said, "It looks like the hack is coming from the Crystal Academy." She handed over a device to Serena. "Use this to block the security cameras. Amy needs to be able to focus on tracking the actual hacker once inside." She then handed them each a security card. "We were able to get these for you both. They will get you in the front door and into any room you need to enter. We were able to clone the security card of two of their main security officers." Luna chuckled, "They aren't very good at their jobs."
Serena smiled and tucked it in her pocket. "What you mean, Luna, is that you swiped it from them. I hear your skills as a cat burglar were unparalleled back before you were an agent. I'm glad you came to work with my parents."
She smiled fondly at Serena, "Your mother was kind enough to speak up for me after she caught me. I won't ever forget that she saw something in me worth saving."
Serena hugged Luna, "You've more than shown it was worth it. You've taken such good care of me after my parents deaths. Thank you." She stepped back and looked at Amy. "Okay, let's go and be awesome. We have bad guys to thwart."
They left Luna's apartment and made their way to Serena's house. They changed quickly. Serena put on a brown wig, and so did Amy. They both wanted to blend in and not be easily identifiable. They put on uniforms for one of the top high schools in Tokyo that Serena had procured, and they headed out the back door and down the alley.
Once they made it to Crystal Academy, Amy put on a pair of normal looking glasses. She tapped a button on the side, and it engaged a scanner. She was able to search for hidden security cameras. She quietly indicated to Serena when to activate the device to block the security cameras. They then scanned their security cards and walked in the front door.
Once inside, Amy pulled out her computer and tapped into the network. She followed the hack up to the fourth floor. What they found when they got there shocked them. It was students hacking their systems. Serena got the attention of one of the guys. His eyes raked over her, and he smiled. Good. She'd get all the information she needed. She whispered in his ear. "What is it exactly that you're doing here? It looks fascinating."
"We're hacking a simulation of a government website. It's so cool how detailed they made it. The Crystal Academy is incredible. My parents were so glad I was able to get into this program." He said.
She smiled sweetly at him and walked over to Amy. "They think it's a fake government website. They don't know that they're hacking the real thing."
Amy quickly found an empty computer terminal and decrypted the log in. Her fingers flew as she worked to shut down the hack from the inside. Serena got to work plugging in the device Amy had created that would take out the whole computer system once Amy typed in the kill word. Once it was done, Serena noticed the Dark Kingdom member, masquerading as a teacher, came into the room.
She ducked and hissed at Amy. "You keep going. I'll keep her away from you." The fake teacher saw her and screamed, "How did you get in here?!"
Serena yelled, "Everyone, get out now! Run!" That created mass confusion in the room as everyone looked around and noticed that Serena had pulled out some rather lethal looking daggers. Everyone went running out of the room.
All of a sudden, paper thin knives were hurled in Serena's direction. One managed to nick her arm as she leapt out of the way. She winced in pain as she hit the wound against a cubical wall. She then spun and launched a knife at the thigh of the woman who was attacking her. It buried deeply into her, and the woman screamed out in pain.
Amy yelled, "Almost got it!"
Serena launched herself at the woman while she was pulling out the knife. She grabbed her and tried to pin her to the ground, shoving her face into the carpet. The woman threw her head back, and it came in contact with Serena's chin, knocking her off. Serena rolled to the side and held up her knife.
"Typing the kill command now!" Amy yelled out and then grabbed all of her equipment.
The woman brought a dagger out of her boot and aimed for Serena's throat. Amy managed to kick the woman in the head, and she dropped the dagger. Serena then threw her knife, and it sank deeply into the woman's heart, killing her instantly.
They both leapt up and ran for the fire escape. Amy pulled out an ultrasonic device that shattered the window instantly. They made their way out of the building, and down into the alley. They then split up and ran in different directions as they heard sirens in the distance. Serena figured the students called the police after they ran out when they saw her armed. She knew Luna would be able to set everything right with the Police Chief. She ditched her wig in the trash, made it down the back alley, and into the back door of her house.
Ikuko was there when she entered. Serena sighed, "Can you please stitch me up? I wasn't quite fast enough. We completed our mission."
"Come and sit at the kitchen table. I'll get the kit to fix you up." She carefully disinfected the wound and then stitched Serena up. "There, you'll be good as new soon. I'll check those stitches tomorrow."
"Thanks, Mom."
She laughed, "Hey, a Mom would have taken you to a doctor to get that stitched up. You're lucky to have me."
Serena smiled at her and gave her a hug, "I really am."
Later that night, she let herself into Darien's apartment. He was sitting on the couch looking up at her with worry in his eyes. He then leapt up, placed his hand on her arms to pull her close, and she flinched.
He asked, "Are you okay? What happened?"
"Don't worry. It was just six stitches. It's a bit sore."
He looked panicked, "You're hurt?!"
She gave him a lopsided grin, "It's not deep at all. I'm fine. Please don't worry about it."
"Tell me the other person fared worse than you did." He caressed her face and kissed her forehead.
She looked nervous, "Will you think less of me?"
"Whatever are you talking about?"
"I killed her."
He breathed out a sigh of relief, "Serena, you killed those people at the jewelry store too. I don't judge you for that either. It was your life or theirs. I will pick yours every time. I'm relieved you killed her. That means you weren't injured worse." He paused, "How did you explain that cut at the hospital?"
Serena kissed him deeply on the mouth, "You're too good to be true. Thank you for being able to accept what I am. As for getting the stitches, Ikuko stitched me up. She's an agent and acting as my mother." She pulled up her sleeve and showed Darien the stitches.
"Wow, she did a fabulous job! Think she'll show me how to make the stitches that neat some day? I could wow them in med school."
Serena nodded and then pressed herself up against Darien. She couldn't get over how wonderful it was to be fully accepted by him and to have his support. She nipped at his bottom lip as one of his hands drifted to her ass and grabbed it. She moaned and ran a hand over his pecs. They were so sexy. He then began peppering kisses down her jawline and made his way to her neck. She rubbed herself up against his hard cock. She couldn't believe how incredible it felt to be in his arms.
"Serena, you're incredible. I just can't get enough of you. I'm so glad you're safe. I worried about you when you didn't show up at the Crown Arcade today."
"I'm really good at what I do. But, is it awful of me to say that I'm happy you were worried about me? It's wonderful to hear how much you care."
Darien smiled softly at her and kissed her sweetly on the lips. "It's not awful at all."
