Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Shadow Clovers. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Totally spies, Vincent, David Michel and a few others do.
Umbra was confused by the fact that he had been sucked through a tube in his armor… but according to Clover? that was kind of common considering how WOOHP operated.
"Ok, seriously, what just happened?" He heard from Zeon inside her suit.
Clover, Alex, and Sam all stood in the corner, Jerry turned in his seat to look at them as the rest of the group turned to Umbra.
"Her, look at her. not my fault." Umbra stated, motioning at Clover which got the spies to crack a small smile, knowing this was in a way, their fault.
"Nice to finally meet you, 'Umbra.'" Ray hummed and rolled his eyes, surprised a couch could hold several people clad entirely in powered armor.
He needed a couch like that, he'd ask where it came from later, however as Ray decided to start explaining things to his friends/teammates.
It would sound less insane if they heard it from someone, they were familiar with, to be fair.
"Guys, Jerry here is the leader of a spy group I'm guessing which also has my friend Clover over there as a member… they want us to become spies… so in conclusion… look at Clover, this is her idea." Umbra stated, knowing that it would get an eyeroll from his friend.
Which it did, much to his amusement, he turned to look back at Jerry as the man cleared his throat.
"Yes, that is the gist of things… tell me, what exactly is that armor your wearing?" Jerry asked, causing the group to look at the exosuits all designed entirely for their use.
"Shade Blade suits." All in unison, this would certainly be enjoyable for him to listen to.
"Shade Blade… really, Ray?" Clover put in as her friend looked over the sofa at her.
"This is coming from someone wearing a pink catsuit… fashion looking cool is as good as it looking nice." Clover arched an eyebrow at this.
"Also, I couldn't think of a good name at the time…" Ray stated weakly before turning to look at Jerry.
"Their exosuits designed entirely for combat, infiltration, destruction… basically war suits. Damien aka 'dozer' and Luke aka 'gremlin.' Over there? They made the suits, I helped pitch in here and there, and we all customized the suits to work for us… unless you can strip these things apart, work through waves of nano mesh armor? You're not getting these suits to work for other people." Ray cleared his throat for a moment.
"Also, we already gave them names so there's that." Ray put in as Jerry chuckled.
"He's pretty cute sounding." Ray shrugged at Alex before Jerry started to talk again.
"You were after CCC, the terrorist group pretending to be American Black Ops, I'm guessing?" The group turned to Ray who hummed.
"Yes. scumbags are the very reason we're even put in the same group to try and take them down. you can ask Luke over there. We're all wanting to take them down for our own reasons… I'm guessing that put us on your radar, doesn't it?" Ray asked, this got a nod from Jerry.
"So, this where you ask us to become agents of… I don't know anything about this group… awkward." Ray heard Amy shrug after this.
"Eh, bad intel is common honestly. I get horrible gossip sometimes." Clover heard from Amy as Ray nodded.
The spies cracked a smile and the group looked at each other.
"Is there a downside to this? because I think all of us still want to crush CCC like an ant." All nods from the rest of the group.
"Considering CCC just stole 2 tons of titanium and look like they're going after a Nuclear reactor… oh my, you all sure do enjoy tangling with quite a dangerous group." Ray piped up; the armored handcuffs attached to him clinked.
"We've been doing this for years, Jere. Trust us, we're kinda\ used to doing this. CCC has sent in a LOT of people to murder us… you get used to people trying to kill you." Clover shook her head.
"I'm going to guess Clove just shook her head… also? Hey, Clove? You want to tell the others about all the times I've helped you with homework and how we played video games once?" Clover was about to say something, red pooling in her cheeks as Jerry decided to make things less embarrassing.
"So?" The group turned back to him and all shared looks as murmurs went amongst the group.
"We're join… but only if you tell us why you picked us." Ray got a few lowered eyebrows. Some of his friends didn't want to.
But some did, and it was another chance to right wrongs in the world.
And that was something they could agree on. ray knew they wanted to help people as much as him.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out Clover and Ray do have more history then just what's seen. Next chapter is going to end up being in a week or 2 and will show Ray speaking more with Clover and both showing more of their history as a group with each other and how they became such good friend. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
