Thanks for all of the great reviews! And thanks for the tips, too! I know I put 4 chapters up almost at once, but I had previously written them. All of the rest of these chapters will not be posted that quickly. They will be posted as I finish writing them or have the time to write them.
If you have any ideas for me, don't hesitate to tell them in a review, though don't be disappointed if I don't use it or I don't use it right away. I want to know what you guys think about my story and what you think should happen.
Chapter 5: Gadgets can be Helpful
Location Unknown
When Cub opened his eyes, everything was still black. He was in some sort of enclosed space that blocked all light from coming in. The area wasn't damp, but had an underground type of feel. Cub made sure not to make any type of noise as he reached down to pull out his glasses from his pocket. This was made difficult, as his hands were expertly tied together, but he still managed.
After putting on his glasses, he couldn't help but groan allowed at the sight that they gave him. Unknown by the other members of C and K units, these were special glasses that had infra-red, night vision, and binoculars all in what looked like ordinary reading glasses.
His ankle was chained to the wall, and all members of C and K unit were sitting around various parts of the room. But more importantly, Cub knew where he was.
"So I see you've awoken, Jag," Heron broke the silence.
"Obviously you are mistaken, Heron. If you had any brains, you would've realized that you can't see a blessed thing in this bunker, and that you only know of my consciousness because of my groan."
"Don't be such a smart-Alec," Wolf growled.
"That's kind of hard to do when your name is Alex," Cub replied with a smirk on his face.
"It doesn't matter," Heron interrupted what was sure to become a full blown argument. "As you can see, okay, so not see, but still. As you may have NOTICED, we have the upper hand right now. You are tied up, and chained to a wall, and you have no clue where you are, not to mention being stuck here alone with Wolf and I, and we're not exactly known for our amazing tempers. Things will go just fine if you just tell us what we want to know."
"How do you think C unit and K unit will be feeling right now as you just left out of the count?" Cub wondered innocently.
"WHAT?" Wolf cleared his throat. "I mean, what do you mean the rest of them? They have no clue what is going on right now," Heron amended his first statement.
"Guys, seriously? Have you already forgotten that MI6's top agent is here? I mean, I've already gotten out of the ropes!" Cub stated, slightly annoyed.
"There are only 3 people dow-I mean, in here," Wolf replied firmly.
"I might believe you, if I couldn't see Possum, Coyote and Raccoon hanging out in the corner to your right, with Eagle, Fox, Snake, and Tiger sitting along the wall running between you guys and C-unit. By the way, why is Fox tied up?" Cub asked.
"I'm tied up because I tried to warn them that you would know where you are, and that you'd be able to tell that we're all here, and then I tried to search you and get all of your gadgets out of your pockets. Oh, and to not chain you to the wall. I told them that would make you angry, and that you'd probably not tell them anything until they let you lose," Fox's voice came out of the darkness.
"SHUT UP, FOX!" Heron and Wolf shouted in unison.
"Now Cub knows that we're here," Tiger sighed.
Fox snorted. "He's known from the moment he became conscious. He's not an idiot. And I did tell him that I'd be parent control over Wolf and Heron."
"Do you really have gadgets, Cub? Are they cool ones? How can you see me? Are they hidden? Are they secret weapons? Do you have a nuclear bomb? Can you blow things up with your gadgets?" Eagle piped up.
Wolf groaned aloud, "I knew we should've gagged him. Now, Cub, why don't you tell us your very interesting and secretive life story?"
Cub smirked-not that anyone could see him. "Not until you take the chain off my leg."
"Told you, Wolf."
"Oh, be quiet, Fox! Cub? The chain stays on until you decide to tell us. I will not have you have one of your brilliant spy plans and have you disappear as soon as the thing comes off. You are staying here, chained, until you start talking," Wolf stated.
The moment of silence that followed was broken by the sounds on feet treading lightly on the ground. There was the sound of sawing, then…
"Thanks, Alex. Those ropes were really starting to cut into my wrists. By the way, nice contacts."
"Welcome, Fox."
Heron jumped. Cub's voice had come from directly to his right.
"Cub? How the heck are you all the way over here? You're supposed to be chained to the wall on the opposite side of the room!"
"I came up with a brilliant spy plan and used magic to break the chain in half," came Cub's sarcastic reply.
" Really?" Raccoon's voice was full of awe.
"Raccoon, don't believe everything you hear. Use common logic once in a while. Jag, you were being sarcastic," Heron interrupted.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious!" Jag replied, once again with sarcasm.
"You're welcome, Lieutenant Sarcasm," Eagle stated cheerfully.
"I would ask you how exactly you got out of the chain, but you obviously are trying to once again steer the conversation away from your past, so I'll wait on that. So the sooner you start talking about your life, the sooner, we all can get out of here," Snake demanded.
"Fine. But on day off you guys have to buy me lunch at whatever place I want to go to," Cub negotiated.
Eagle was about to protest, but Coyote cut him off and agreed.
"Let's see. You guys all know about how I came to be in the MI6, and how I first came to train here. You found all of that out after Jack was killed and I was sent to live here. And you know about all of the missions Mr. Blunt sent me on and all of the ones where Fox and I were partners. And you also know about me being the top agent with 100% success rating and whatnot. And K-unit obviously remembers all of the time they posed as backup for Fox and I, and so on and so forth. So I guess I'll start at the mission that I 'died' from?" Cub summarized.
"Finally," Wolf muttered under his breath.
"Or maybe not. If you're going to act that way, then I can just pull out a transporter and get myself out of here, leaving you locked in this storm cellar beneath C-unit's hut. And yes, I broke into here a few times," Cub responded.
"No! I….I'll be quiet," Wolf gave in.
"Ok…if I remember correctly, that was quite a hard mission that Ben and I were on. I think I'll start from the point at which Fox, K-unit and I first woke up in our cells after being kidnapped. Hmm… Let's see…" Cub started. "It all began when that guard came and dragged Ben out of the cell…"
