Altair had sat down with Hugh and Ezio coming up with a strategy to get Juno back into her prison and in two days time the plan would be put forward. Connor of course was ready to go, but Luna was afraid to let him go just as Claudia was afraid of Yusuf going. Luna also didn't like the idea of Edward of going either but she knew like the other two he was willing to go to put an end to Juno's rule. She intended to make sure before he left though that she was spending quality time with Connor.
She was going to spend in much time with Connor as she steal away from him. He came home for a long workout after meeting with Hugh and Ezio to find Luna had made his favorite meal, that she knew how to make that was. He ate happily and ever quietly as usual before he looked to her sitting there watching him.
"You do not wish me to go."she couldn't hide the smile threatening the corner of her lips as she looked at him.
"I don't, but I understand. And I proud of you, Edward and Yusuf. I know it has to be hard on you guys, especially Yusuf." Connor looked at Luna, eyes dancing now that Luna must know Claudia's secret too.
"She told you then?" Luna nodded as she looked at Connor, raising her brows as she spoke.
"I'm surprised he hadn't asked her sooner." It was no secret that Claudia and Yusuf were living together, so it was truly only a matter of time before he proposed. Connor held her gaze as he held out a hand for her. She took his hand smiling as he got up and pulled her to her feet. Her blue eyes sparkled as he led her into the other room, but then he stopped and pulled his hand free.
"Why not go and relax while I clean up the mess you made of the kitchen." Luna looked at him in shock by what he had said, but soon she the stern look he had fade into something like that of an amused smirk.
"Did you just make a joke?" Luna smiled as she raised her hands up, palms toward him in surrender. "No, don't answer. I will just take it at face value, if you're offering to clean up my mess, I will definitely go and relax. After all, how often does that happen." As she turned and walked away Connor swatted her behind before he swiftly turned and made his way into the kitchen. This was a rare side of him to see, but Luna like it. She took advantage of his mood tonight, taking a long shower while he cleaned the kitchen. Once she was finished she decided to put on a silk nighty and robe on, hoping he'd like it on her, or better yet, off of her.
When Luna walked into the living room her hair was in damp waves over her shoulders, and Connor was still in the kitchen. She moved towards the doorway, leaning against it as she watched him. He had just finished putting the dishes away as he slung the kitchen towel over his shoulder. He then started putting the silverware away as he spoke to her.
"I am nearly finished, what would you like to do once I am done?" She stood there quietly waiting and when he closed the silverware drawer and turned to her, his eyes told her that he knew exactly what she wanted. He strode over to her, watching as Luna turned so that her back was against the doorway, Connor's tall frame blocking her from moving. She reached up and pulled the towel off his shoulder before slinging it around his neck, pulling him closer with it. With one hand on either side of her, he leaned down and kissed her softly. Her skin tingled as his hands slowly moved to her shoulders, sliding down her arms then dropping to her thighs. He slid the bottom of her robe and nighty up, his callused fingertips finding her flesh. She dropped the towel, one hand now running up the back of his skull, her fingers tangling in his hair. He slid one hand around her waist, pulling her body closer to his.
He scooped her up in his arms, her lips now finding his neck as he carried her towards the bedroom. He soon had her in the bedroom, not quite ready to let her go from him as he stood by the bed. She pulled her lips away from him after pressing a few more kisses to his skin once he stopped moving. She looked up at him, searching his eyes to see if he was alright.
"Is something wrong?" He shook his head, laying her down gently before he joined her in bed.
"No, I was simply thinking." She turned his chin towards her, wanting him to explain.
"You can tell me, you know that I'm here for you." His hand slid over her neck, brushing her hair back softly.
"I just don't like going on this mission any more than you want me to go, but this is why I was brought here, to your when so that I can help to lock away that Juno." Her fingers slid around his side as she moved closer, his lips pressing against her forehead.
"I have no doubts that you, all of you will return back to us victorious. I hate that you have to go, but that is just because I'm being selfish, I want you to be with me." He now moved his lips to hers, pressing back against her so that he was now over her, moving between her legs. He untied her robe with one hand, letting it fall open as he leaned back and watch her. He felt her fingers pulling at his shirt, pulling it up and over his head before dropping it next to the bed. While he was up on his knees Luna sat up, taking off her robe and dropping it by his shirt.
What neither of them knew was what was happening at Abstergo Industries New York Office, or below the office rather, at that same time. There was sparks in the main computer system kept below ground, great arcs of energy passing from once side of the processors to the other. Rebecca knew something was wrong when she walked into the lobby, meeting with Shaun to exchange information. They stood there looking at each other as the lights dimmed and a buzzing sound traveled through the walls. Shaun looked at Rebecca, concern over coming him.
"You need to get out of here, go warn them that they need to hurry, perhaps sooner than later." A voice boomed through every speaking in the building, including the ones on the computers.
"Soon, you all will bow to me. The one who saved you all from the wrath of the sun, soon I will walk this earth again." The voice kept going but neither Rebecca nor Shaun had any doubts as to who it was. She looked at him, ready to flee for the door, but before she left she pulled him close and pressed a kiss to his lips before making her way down to the door. Once Rebecca was outside the building she realized the voice was outside too, and there was images on Juno's face on all the electronic billboards. Rebecca tried to call, but all the phone signals were down, so she got into her van and she drove towards the pit, knowing that there was no time to wait.
When she pulled into the ally, she jumped out of the van and made her way down into the underground layer the assassin's were using as their headquarters in the city. She ran until she got to Hugh's office, not even bother knocking as she flew open the door. Hugh stood up, his eyes full of fire as he looked at Rebecca who was standing there, hands on her thighs as she tried to catch her breath.
"Sorry, but we need to move now." Ezio looked at Hugh before speaking.
"Tell us why you believe so?" She looked up, tears threatening her eyes as she stood upright.
"I think Juno's getting tired of the computer. Her voice was everywhere for a two block radius, even her image was everywhere she could project it. She trying to get out now."
Ten minutes later and Luna's phone was ringing, but she ignored it while Connor pulled her nighty off of her, but within two minutes there was a pounding at the front door stopping Connor's lips from traversing across her chest. He closed his eyes before he pushed himself up from the bed, Luna sliding his t-shirt on as well as her robe as she followed him to the door. Connor only barely opened the door when Yusuf pushed it open and came in.
"Connor, we must go now. Juno has started terrorizing the people within Abstergo and Rebecca fears that she may kill them in order to free herself. The time to go is now, but must put an end to her."
"Go, made sure Edward is ready and I will meet you in the lobby in five minutes." Yusuf was gone and Connor shut the door before he turned to Luna.
"I have to go." He started moving towards the bedroom, walking past Luna so he could grab a shirt and his things. He was putting on his blades on when Luna stepped towards the door, and she knew he was right, he had to go. He grabbed his gun holster, something new Luna had given him, and slid it around his shoulders. He slid a jacket on and turned to see her standing there with tears in her eyes and he froze. Luna ran to him, wrapping her arms around his neck as she jumped in his arms.
"Promise me you'll be safe and that you'll put an end to that bitch. Then you get your ass back here to me." He nodded as he agreed his lips moving up her cheeks to kiss the tears away.
"I promise. I will be home soon." He put her feet back on the ground and she walked him to the door, kissing him deeply before he left. Once she closed the door she slid down it, crying once she was sure he was downstairs. This was sure to be the longest night of her life.
