The Angel Avenger
Ch.3
"Okay, head count! Sinopa,check ;Sirena, check; Siren, check; Byrd, check; Arno,check; and Hawk...waiiiiiit your not supposed to be here!"
"Aleta, dearest, I couldn't bear to be anywhere without Sirena! I'd rather die!"
"That can be arranged..."Sin growled.
"Shut up! Hawk you stand in for me when I'm out after Fang. I'll come after I lure him back, now if you do anything, and I mean anything that comprimises us, well...Sinopa might get her way."
"Can you at least explain to Hawk how we do things! I mean he is under surveillance for starting a breakout!." Sin rolled her eyes.
"You don't have to..."
"Okay here it goes...I will tell it by like our history kind of. Everybody set? Here we go. We are and were made or stolen by the Branch. They experimented on us or most of us. They figured that they should have the perfect 'machines to protect what they were and wanted. Of course it started out with petty thefts and disapearances, well... then things changed. They started to confine us, experiment more on us. Then, well some were bred and others created. We are the perfect fighting machines that don't care about anything or anyone, most of us are in the section called the Fallen. Dark ones that are being improved by the minute..."
"Are you one of them?"
"...None of your bussiness ,but...yes. Anyway, we take care of the higher ups that need removing. Senator's, Presidents, Ambassadors...the works. We sneak into their offices and homes, killing them and setting up a sceen so no one suspects murder. Otherwise, there are the escape's and sometimes a Director decides that a certain whitecoat is useless and we kill them. We have the Watchers, the ones that establish a perimeter and can see anyone coming. They cover us so we can escape. There are the Actors that act like they are normal and worm their way into the system. They betray their 'friends' and bosses. Then there are the Shadow's that come out of nowhere and do the deed. They watch the habits and everything. They clean up and make sure its done right. Then there are the Brainiacks that plan and do everything. Then there are Eliteists that can do everything and go solo."
"Let me guess your a Shadow." Hawk rolled his eyes.
"No. I'm an Eliteist and if your not carefull you'll end up like all the other snobs. Dead." My voice was silky smooth with the knife edge. He had gone a little to close to the line.
"Sorry, anyway I will do my best to make sure they are caught."
"No you won't, it's my job and if you mess with it Sirena may find your lifeless body with a confused expression and a slit throat. Got it?" My voice was ice cold and he backed off.
"You know Leta, dear, you can be quite frightening when you want to be." Sin nudged me grinning helplessly. She knew I was establishing my authority. She got a kick out of it.
I smiled,"What about you dearest? You are quite cruel with that sharp tongue."
"Yes ,but I have a right to it. Your supposed to be the faking that she is nice assasin."
"I am ,but I have feelings to." I winked. I didn't have feelings, I didn't think twice about killing and hey I never cry. She knows it too. I get up and stretch. I nod to Byrd.
"Time to go!" Laughs Sirena.
"Byrd, your going with me to get Fang. The rest of you, don't forget your manners."
"Aleta! Sin is supposed to go with you!" Hawk looks paniced.
"Yes ,but how do you think this Max will feel when she sees two gorgeous ladies,"I hear a snort from Arno's direction."With her beloved. Now I think Byrd will be fine. I won't let him get in trouble."
"She does have a point. Just relax , Aleta's smarter than all of us combined. Atleast sometimes." Siren laughed musically.
"Okay we'll see you guys later then. Get your gear Byrd." He nodded and grabbed his bag. I winked.
"Be ready for anything. And above all..."
"Don't get caught!" Chorused everyone. I snapped out my wings and tail. I perked my ears and took off. Time to flaunt my style.
Sinopa's pov:
I was supposed to go with Leta! I don't want to be close to Hawk! She knew it too! Ugh...I don't want to end up with another broken heart. Heck, I barely got it together after Skater. At least I don't have it as bad as Leta. Now she has a boatload of problems in her life...
"Whatcha thinkin bout Sin? You look so serious. It's amazing."
"Hawk, shouldn't you be over with Sirena?"
"She wants to break up. She doesn't exactly like the whole revolt against the higher ups plan. Jeez she told me that we should try to get up with other people."
"Well, she isn't exactly the leading type. Thats more of Aleta's job. Mine is the faithful comedian." I rolled my eyes.
"I know you probably don't want to hear it from me, but I think it's great that you keep Aleta going. We all know what would happen if one of us wasn't there for her when...yeah. I'm just saying that you aren't really the 'comedian'. You something more, give me time and I'll find out what that is." His breathe against my face made me shiver.
"Well!" I jumped up. I hate being uncomfortable." I'll see you in the morning. G'night!" I skided into the forest. I found an abandoned fox den. They aren't as bad as they seem. Quite comfy. Hawk is wrong. Aleta may need us but she would never...forget it. I need her just as much as she needs me!
Aleta pov:
"So we have to pretend to be looking for recruits to our army? Ouch! Right, I know. I know. Your army. My bad." Byrd rubbed his arm. If it was anyone else they would be either dead or unconcious. Being my lovely self and his leader/friend he doesn't dare challenge me. I just so happen to be better and stronger than most. Its a gift.
"Now remember, you can't be a fashionista! You have to be cool and collected like you are on most assignments. Wait till later to show off please!"
He grinned evilly. Lord no! He wouldn't dare..."I won't if...you will let me..."
"NEVER!" I yelled and scrambled off. He of course just happens to be a ultimate Eraser. Meaning he is more compact ,shortish, and has a tail that he can't unmorph. Thats not all...
"Gotcha!" He did superspeed for him, meaning I couldn't see him because he was going so fast! I hung my head, pretending defeat...until...
"What the he..." He yelped as I tripped him and jumped into a tree while taking off. Which I must say is very hard thank you very much.
"I give up! You know I suck at flying!" He whined. I winked as I floated down.
"I know."
"You won't let me style your hair, nails, and give you a specially designed outfit just because you can't stand that stuff? I mean you of all people, who isn't afraid of anything that could kill, and who can find a million ways to kill someone with a toothpick or neddle, is afraid of a make over? I'm not gay or anything ,but that is just wrong!" He was now laughing and kicking at my shins. It was true, I hate anything girly. Why else would I wear whatever I grab first out of my pack.(yes I have extra clothes in a bag. You would too if you lived like I do. Everyone does it for safety reasons. I think) Suddenly, I turned my head and lowered my chin to my shoulder. Someone was watching us and that was a cue for 'we are being watched.' Byrd yawned and twitched his index finger toward a tree to my left. Ahhhhh, a flickering shadow, someones being naughty.(yes I did just say that old fashioned word.)
"I think we need to move on. Get over the fact that you will never, ever, give me a makeover. Not even the day I die. Lets move, we have to get more recruits for the army!" I stalked off past the tree that hid the eaves dropper. He has very loud breathe I must say. I have feline hearing, meaning I hear a ton more than people think I do.
"Sourpuss..."muttered Byrd. Another word for, take intruder out pronto. Easy enough. As I turned around, faking anger, I...
"What the..." The shadow flickered into a tall bird kid as swung my arm in a fast chop where I thought the stomach would be. Black hair, olive toned skin. Obviously our prey. Now for the fun part.
"Why oh why would you be eaves dropping. Hmmmm...Itex no doubt. Therefore I will first let Byrd remodel you in girly colors only. Bright and hot pink and purple. Yep that would soooo suit your complexion." I mused and waved a hand at Byrd.
"How...how did you know...?" The guy asked. Hmmmm I think his name is...Tooth..no...oh I got it! Fang. Yes thats it!
"I'll be the one asking questions! Now how much did you report to Itex?"
"I'm not with them."
"Well...who are you?" Here comes the fiasco of male pride.
"You first. I won't tell you anyway."
"Fine, I will call you... Byrd help me with a name. Barney?"
"Nah, he's more of a hmmm... Not Barney, he's to tuff for this dude."
"Dude thats my word! Anyway...what was the Tellie Tubie that we dressed Sin up for? I can't remeber its name. Nala, Po...Lets just call him Nala the Yellow Tellie Tubie!"
"My names Fang." That wasn't very snobbish at least.
"His name is Byrd. Mine is Aleta."
"So are you guys experiments?"
"Dude, how do you think, Leta knew you were there? Don't be a dusch bag."
"Is that a word?" I asked. Hey you learn a knew thing everyday. That doesn't mean it's possitive ,but still...
"Yep. Don't remeber what it means though."
"Okay. I am an Avian American and was part of Max's Flock."
"Amazing. So you are the ones that escaped way late in your lives. Wow. Your little Angel turned out to be so 'precious' didn't she." I snickered. Hey, Arno went through the same thing a ways back. It sucks. If they turn their ways they eventually appreciate other's more and take their gifts to the next level. Fang tensed.
"He's not the emotional type." Byrd observed.
"Duh...anyway you can travel with us for a while. Might get you some recruits so whats it gonna be?"
"Sure. Why not?"
"Well with Aleta in the picture there are thousands of reasons not to...mmmffff!" I slapped my hand over his mouth. He can be quite the chatterbox.
"He's a little like Nudge." Observed Fang.
"Sometimes, but you have noooo idea!"
"Well where we off to next?"
"That way. That's were the Prides are. They're like your flock, only more...enhanced."
"Lead on grand tyrant!" Mocked Byrd as he faked a bow. Ugh this will take forever!
