"Okay, I'm having us land a few miles from the coordinates Caireen gave me," Raven said to the others in the Shroud.
"A few miles?" Caireen said as her and Mariana groaned.
"Its the way to be safe, guys, and besides, if we find a car, Raven is good at hotwiring," Shelby said, having been on many missions with Raven in the past.
"So what's our gameplan?" Otto asked.
"Well, thats what I needed to talk to you guys about. We can use these, first off," Raven said, taking out a box of thermoptic camouflage suits. Everyone grabbed one and sat down.
"Well, I know all of you skills, Shelby your a good infiltrator and you can fight, but i'd rather you not fight since, well, you know, and Otto your the best hacker in the world because of your brain, and Caireen can do lots of technical work, and Mariana is just a good all around villain, so, i say we split into two groups," Raven said, "What do you think Otto?"
"I think you should go with Shelby and Caireen. Shelby can infiltrate and get you guys through locked doors, and Caireen can hook up to their network and do tech work. Mariana and I will go together, and though we can't fight, I can disable their nerve pulses telling them to punch, which takes like tons of work but if it will help us, i have to do it, like i did with furan," Otto said.
"Well, sounds good to me," Raven said.

"Where do you think they're taking us?" Caleb whispered as they were marched down the hallway, guards in front of them.
"Probably being locked up," Marc answered.
The guards pulled Laura, Marc and Wing, who was unconscious away from Dr. Nero and Caleb. Caleb wondered why this was.
"Master wants them up in the… other base," The leader guard said to the guards dragging Nero and Caleb down the hall. The way the leader guard say this confused Caleb.
They continued down the hallway until they walked into what felt like to Caleb as an airplane, where they were cuffed to their seats. Caleb looked around; he didn't see any escape routes as the airplane moved. He also couldn't lock pick; he'd have to see where this ride took him.

Otto and Mariana crept silently through the halls of the base. Mariana was glad to be put with otto, since she'd learned about him in Villainy Studies and he seemed like an experienced villain who would be good to learn from. Suddenly, they heard voices up ahead. They pressed against the wall and activated camouflage. Another benefit of being with Otto was that he could disable all of the cameras. A group of armed guards walked by, and Mariana held her breath from nerves.
"Oh, guys, we gotta turn around and get to the dungeons," The leader guard said, "Apparently a group of infiltraitors are attempting to free the G.L.O.V.E prisoners that we kept at this base," The group of guards started jogging the other way from where they were walking. Otto gave Mariana a hand signal and they began silently following the group of guards. Mariana felt nervous, seeing the guns that she knew they would use in severe circumstances.
"Sir, is Nero's assassin there?" A guard asked, sounding very nervous.
"They're camouflaged, and why did you ask? Are you not capable of taking on an operative of that skill level?" The leader asked.
"I am perfectly capable, sir," The guard said, gulping nervously.

Shelby deactivated her camouflage as she, Caireen and Raven stepped into the cell holding Marc, Wing and Laura. She quickly undid the cuffs around the prisoner's wrists.
"Here, put these on," Shelby whispered, pulling out some extra camouflage suits they had brought. They quickly put on the suits.
They heard the sound of yelling and running coming near them, and they all quickly activated their camouflage suits. The guards came in and saw the open door, and what to them was open space.
"They're gone! Fan out and find them NOW!" The leader screamed, and the guards began running around the dungeon.
The group of "invisible" escapees slowly crept out of the scrambling guards, trying to get out without getting caught.
Once out, they ran into Shelby and Otto. Thats when Raven noticed something.
"We're missing two," Raven said.
###
Caleb and Nero felt their flight touch down. Guards came in and uncuffed them from the seat, recuffing their wrists once they were standing. They began dragging them along again. Once out of the plane, they entered the room. This room was strange. The walls were decorated with stars. As the guard pushed him closer to the wall, Caleb realized it wasn't a wall at all; it was a window.
