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.

Clover looked at Ray who had his arms crossed; he still wore his armor as she wore her catsuit.

"So… superspy, works for a group that somehow tracked us… and you were planning to tell us this… When?" Ray asked, raising his eyebrow.

"You know the spy part of my job… right?" Clover got a nod from Ray as he paced back and forth while sighing.

"We've been friends a while ago before now if I recall things. I actually recalled bringing my name back up to you when I got to school… Jerry pointed out he's known about Shadow Squad… seriously, why did he name us that...?" Ray turned to the side before shaking his head and turning to his friend.

"You didn't trust your childhood friend… the same one who stood up when you had braces…." Alex and Sam looked at their friend who shushed the armored warrior.

"You said you wouldn't tell anyone!" Clover hissed only to see the faintest of smirks appear under his armored lips.

"Yeah… and yet I heard from Jerry you told them about me fixing your laptop and phone… when I gave you my laptop… and the fact that you spilled soda on it… Did you not tell them you used to have pigtails and longer hair?" This got a laugh from Sam and Alex.

"I hate you…." Clover stated, knowing Ray wasn't going to take it as an insult.

"So, you never wanted to tell us about her, Ray?" Lucas got an eye roll and a wave from his friend who paced back and forth.

"Do you want me to point out rule 1 of the group, Lucas? We don't mention our own lives… seriously, this is so stupid… CCC is in Beverly Hills and now they're going to rip this entire city apart by then." Ray stated before cracking his neck and then flexing his fingers.

He hummed before rubbing at his neck before looking at the rest of the group.

"Amy. You find where CCC is going to strike next and tell Jerry. We've fought these guys longer then WOOHP has… Damien, I want you to give them the tech we have… maybe they can do more with the tech we haven't had much time to work on." Ray then turned to the others.

"Guys? Go home, I'm going to go home soon… ow, Backlash still hits like a truck." Sam raised her finger, eager to ask a question.

"Uh… you mentioned Backlash on the airship… who exactly is she?" Sam asked, Ray turned to her with amusement and folded his arms behind his back.

"She is a cybernetic assassin who works as a lieutenant for CCC. We've fought her a few times. She almost slices me in half a few times, it's kind of the reason we've kept working on the armor to make them better and more powerful." He turned to the rest of his group as they started to move.

"Meet back here tomorrow… uh, I don't know what you guys plan to do." He said before activating the jets in his armor.

"Seriously… you guys can fly and we can't?" Ray looked at Clover and shrugged, unsure really how to respond at the moment.

"Give me 2 months… Amy, you might want to ask Jerry and uh… help?" Before Clover could respond, she entirely knew why they didn't want to touch their suits.

It was entirely due to the fact that he would be touching not only technology that belonged to WOOHP… it was the fact that he was touching female clothing and he didn't want anyone to think anything rude or such of that.

Clover turned to the others as they activated the thrusters in their armor. They waved to their new allies before rocketing into the sky.

They then vanished into the sky, leaving the spies alone.

"Pigtails?" Clover knew she was going to get Ray back. she was at least glad she didn't have the duo find that out during a stupid moment or a moment where it would hurt her standing.

"I'm going to murder Ray when I get my hands on him." She didn't realize her blush.

Ray had gone from being a nerd, to being a cyber ninja who easily ran circles around everyone and seemed to be taking on a terrorist organization. He had changed entirely; he knew very well how serious life could be.

She changed, and now it seemed like he had. he was going to be a spy like her? she had questions, a good spy would follow them, making sure to check facts. Clover would follow her instincts, there was a lot to think on.

Quite a lot to consider when it comes down to it… she would make sure to think of what Ray had in mind.

Little did she know how much the next 3 missions would end things.
