Anyway, as a spoiler, Otto and the gang will learn something funtastical, awesomelicious, and supercool amazingically turbulentagon! xD
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING.
On the path to Lab 7, where Lily's tracker lay, they met Raven the assassin on the way
(1).
"I couldn't take the tension there." She said to them, as they strode to the lab. "People jumping each other back and forth; I couldn't take it. It was annoying."
Wing and Otto stopped in their tracks.
"Does that mean that the aphrodisiac leaked to the labs?!" Otto exclaimed. "Yes." Raven replied rather bluntly, as if Otto asked whether the weather was fine or not. "Rather recently, actually, so you left by then."
"But Raven— have you had any eye contact with anyone?!" Wing asked worriedly. He was her protégée after all.
"Yes."
"But, you visor, I thought it was black!"
"If it were black, I would bump into walls. So I saw the slight of someone's eyes. Apparently, that was enough."
"But—"
"I'm a trained assassin, Wing." She said, using his first name. "I can stand up to any poison, no matter how potent."
"But who did you fall for?" Shelby asked innocently.
"Nero."
"You've been with him for some time right? So how did you hold back?" Nigel asked, bumping into the conversation.
"I've been with him for more years than we can remember. If I can keep for that long, then I can keep for a few minutes with amplified feelings. It's called the gift of sexual frustration."
Nigel, Franz, Otto, Wing, and Shelby could not say anything, for they were knocked to the ground by an unseen force called a new lesson.
"Finally!" Nigel exclaimed, as they arrived to Lab 7. "Hurry, we have to look for the tracker, it should be here somewhere."
By then, Raven had been informed of the situation, she hadn't been confused.
"How does it look like?" Franz asked, hurrying to one side of the room. "It's just a flat chrome panel with the screen for tracking. We'd better find it soon." Nigel replied, digging through a month's worth of drafts for his essay homework.
"Um, Nigel? What's this?" Otto asked, almost falling into a large box with a bunch of things as he rummaged.
"Hm?" Nigel hadn't even looked up from his search.
"Is this—" Raven stopped, when she saw the powder in the box.
"It's MDMA." Nigel said rather bluntly, throwing what looked like a mini-version of Narnia.
"Wha– Why do you have MDMA?!" Wing exclaimed. "Well, I wanted to see what happened if my plants were fed MDMA. Apparently, they developed the aphrodisiac we're having trouble with now."
Everyone glared at him.
"What?! I was curious! Besides, Shelby stole it for me!" Nigel said. They all turned to her.
"Well, I didn't get it from outside H.I.V.E. All that shocks me is that I got the MDMA from the teachers. I mean, what would they use it for?"
"…Raven, help us tackle that problem later." Otto said, throwing away the plastic pack.
"What's this then?" Wing asked, holding up a small chrome panel.
"Is that the tracker?!" Otto exclaimed, getting the panel from Wing. "But what does this do?" Otto said aloud, pressing a small blue button on the panel.
"Wait Otto! That's not the tracker, it's the tracker—"
Otto pressed the button, and there was a sudden spark from one end of the room. When they looked, the tracker was there, though it looked broken.
"That was the tracker jack Otto!" Nigel exclaimed, and Otto hit himself on the head.
"How are we going to find Lily now?!" he exclaimed.
"Um, I am thinking that we are not needing to find her." Franz said, pointing to a corner.
It was Lily.
(1) If you're poetic, you'll get why I like this part :D
