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.

Ray heard the door open before he turned to greet the person coming out of it. He hummed and looked at Clover with surprise.

"Clove?" Ray asked and turned to look to the side. "I didn't expect you to show up at the moment." Ray said and tapped his fingers on the counter.

"Well, I haven't seen you in several years and all that." Clover said and took off her shoes. "Hows stuff here?" Clover asked to which Ray shrugged at the moment...

"Managing just like everyone else, Clove." Ray said while brushing off the counter. "I didn't think we'd be seeing each other under… Well, you figuring out I'm fighting terrorists and you getting involved. I don't know, you can't really describe stuff like this at the moment." Ray put in as Clover hummed.

"Not used to spy work, yet?" Clover questioned and moved closer.

"How would you have felt if your best friend was a super spy who doesn't let anyone else know?" Ray asked only for Clover to frown. "Fair point, but I didn't know that… Besides, these guys would LOVE to kill you. They try to kill us EVERY time we ruin one of their plans, I don't want to see someone I'm close with end up dead." Ray said and leaned on the counter.

"I've fought people who've tried to kill me before." Clover said which got a raised eyebrow from Ray. "Hey, just because I don't have some high-tech suit doesn't mean I cant fight." Clover said to which Ray hummed.

"I just didn't expect the girl who went from keeping me from being bullied…" Ray said and walked to the sofa to sit down. "To being a super spy. Guess we both have secrets at the moment." Ray stated to which Clover took a seat next to him.

He knew for a fact that Clover was more then some fashionista. Most people tended to think she was some stupid blonde… Ray knew better, and he knew Sam and Alex probably did as well.

"You know, you haven't stopped that whole 'make the world better through science' thing, have you?" Clover asked to which Ray shook his head. "People think I hate nerds, you know… I don't. I just never got into the science stuff." Clover said while brushing off her shirt.

"Considering you're a superspy? I think you've repaid your dept to nerds." Ray joked and got an elbow. "You know, I didn't involve you because I know CCC, doesn't mean I don't think your tough. You're the only person I've seen knock out someone twice their size in heels." Ray stated while he chuckled with amusement.

"Well, that girl had it coming." Clover said to which Ray chuckled at the words. "Put worms in someone's drink… Gross." Clover said to which Ray hummed.

"Yeah, and I paid you back by pranking Robbie Guthrie." Ray said and put his head in his hands. "God, I don't think I've ever wanted to punch someone in the throat. I don't even know what happened to that jerk." Ray said while rubbing his temples.

Clover cleared her throat which made Ray turn to her who raised an eyebrow.

"Please do not tell me the walking garbage bag went to your school?" Ray said and got a nod to which he sighed with frustration. "UGH! Man, he was worse than most people. Getting sent to the principal's office was worth it. He deserved that stink bomb." Ray said to which Clover blinked.

"Wait… YOU did that to him?" Clover questioned and got a bow from Ray at the moment. "Gee, didn't think you had it in you." Clover put in as she hummed.

"Pff, everyone thinks the nerd cannot do something dirty, Clove." Ray said, crossing his arms over his chest with a smirk. "Besides, he went after my best friend… In the middle of class, he never found out, though. If you couldn't figure it out? I doubt that meathead would." Ray said while Clover turned to the side with a chuckle.

"I cannot believe that you'd do that." Clover said to which Ray shrugged at the moment.

He could only ponder what happened next. There would certainly be things coming soon or such down the road.

"You know I'm going to have to get used to spy stuff at the moment." Ray said and shrugged his shoulders. "And I know I'm going to think on what CCC was doing." Ray said which he rubbed at his arms.

"Yeah, you have to get used to it at the moment." Clover said and looked at the window. "Anyway, I have some ideas if you think you guys can improve our stuff." Clover said to which Ray hummed.

"Oh, I cant wait to hear about it." Ray said and got a playful elbow to the ribs.
