Dreslin's POV

Iggy pulls out and decides to drive just as fast as Fang. So the 15 minutes the drive would have taken at a normal speed, took only like 10 minutes going at Iggy and Fang speed. Maybe it's an assassin thing that you pick up? So, the building we pull into looks exactly like our headquarters in Japan and the one we are in now. Do assassins not have imaginations? The only thing different about this one is that it is beside a beach. Which I think is awesome.

Anyway, there are three people standing outside of the building when we get there. Iggy gets out of his car and walks over to where they are standing. There is a blond guy who looks a little bit younger than us that high-fives Iggy when he walks up. There is a really cute blond girl who is probably his sister. She has curly hair and a cheeky grin that I think makes her look like an angel. Also, there is a pretty girl with caramel colored skin who I don't think has stopped talking since we pulled up. "Well they look nice." I comment to Ashley and Max as we get out of the car and make our way over to them.

"I guess." Ashley says. When we walk up to their group, they all stop talking. We don't say anything to them and they don't say anything to us. We are pretty much having a Texas stand-off like in those old western movies, each of us sizing each other up.

I think maybe I should break the silence and right when I open my mouth to do that, the pretty black girl gives us a huge smile and says…, "Hi! I'm Nudge. You must be Max, Ashley, and Dreslin right? It's nice to meet you. You guys were stationed in Japan! That's sooo cool. I want to be stationed in Japan because I like anime. You should tell me all about it. Do you remember being here in the states? Oh, we are going to have sooo much fun! We can go to the beach and go shopping and stay up late and we should have a party! Oh my gosh! I love parties! And dancing! It should be a dance party! Wouldn't that be fun? And…" here is where the blond guy stops her rambling by putting his hand over her mouth, but the next second he jumps away and exclaims, "She licked me!" Nudge sticks her tongue out at him.

"Now my hands all wet. Thanks Nudge." he says and wipes his hand on the blond girl's arm who I definitely think is his sister.

"What makes you think I want Nudge's saliva on me?" she asks her brother and turns to wipe it on Iggy, but he hides behind Nudge and says, "No thank you." So she uses her shirt to wipe it off.

For once, I'm pretty much speechless and turn to Max and Ashley. Max mutters something about Nudge's ability to talk more than me and Ashley asks, "How did you know our names and how we were stationed in Japan?"

Nudge looks over at us and says, "Well Iggy told us your names and I actually know a lot about all three of you. As to how? Well there's not a security system I haven't been able to break through yet." she says with obvious pride in her voice.

Looks like there is more to this girl than what meets the eye. Now, Iggy straightens up from behind Nudge and says, "Maybe I should do the introductions now. Max, Ashley, Dreslin. This little talker here is Nudge." he says and throws his arm around her shoulders. What's with that? "And the two blond demons there are Angel and Gazzy." So they do call her Angel? Appropriate.

"Hey Iggy?" Nudge says to get Iggy's attention.

"Yeah Nudge?" Iggy responds.

"Who's the emo guy leaning against their car and staring at us?" she asks. At that, all of us turn to see Fang leaning against his car and, indeed, watching us.

Me, Max, Ashley, and Iggy all laugh at that. Iggy is still laughing when he says, "That…dearest Nudge…is Fang. He is…Max, Ashley, and Dreslin's director."

"Oh really? Well why are you all laughing? And I noticed he looks at Max a lot. Does he like you Max? Do you like him? Oooooo you two would make the cutest couple ever. He looks young to be a director. How old is he? How old are you guys? Our director, Jeb, is like old. I don't know how old though. He…" this time, Max stops her and says, "Lick me and I will make sure you suffer. I don't see Max's face, but I can tell by Nudge's widening eyes that it must be pretty scary. Nudge nods her head, understanding that Max is serious.
"Now listen very carefully. I am going to remove my hand and you are NOT going to do that again. Ok?" Max asks her in a quiet but deadly voice. Nudge nods again. Max removes her hand and looks around at us. Gazzy, Angel, and Iggy are looking at her with impressed expressions on their faces. Ashley and I just don't want her to hurt our new friends.

"Woooow, you're really scary." Nudge says what they are all thinking.

Max laughs a little and says, "Thank you."

"Hey Nicky my boy! Come over here and join the party!" this is yelled out by Iggy obviously. Fang walks over to us as cool and calm as he likes. "So Nicky. Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel. What do your observations say?" he asks him with a smirk. What is he talking about?

Fang's brow furrows as he considers this. "Ashley, Max, and Dreslin could take them blindfolded." Fang responds. Whoa. As flattering as that is, are we going to have to fight them?

"Confident Nicky? There's more to these three than you think." Iggy says. Fang just looks at him when he says that.

"Hold up a second. Are you two planning a fight to the death between us or somethin'?" Max asks.

"Maybe." they both say.

"Unbelievable." she mutters.

"Does anyone know why we are standing out here?" Ashley asks randomly.
There is a chorus of "No's", "Nope's", "I have no idea's" and then Nudge says, "We should go inside."

"No I thought we would stay out here for the next few hours." Max says sarcastically.

"Sarcasm noted." Nudge says then heads our group to into their headquarters.

Max's POV

I wonder where they pick up assassins these days because we have to be as weird as they come. So here is what I've learned about this new group over the last few hours. Gazzy who is 17 got his name from having a wonderful gift of producing bodily gases that cause some serious damage. He and Iggy also have a wonderful gift of producing their own types of gases and bombs. When they say don't go in a certain room, I seriously suggest you listen to them. A real surprise to me is that I found out Iggy is blind. I never noticed since he always wore his shades, but he uses his extra senses to make up for it. I wonder how he drives though…Also, Angel who is 16 and Gazzy's sister, is not only sweet, but secretly she has a dark side. How did I figure this out? We had a looong talk. Nudge is really great once you get used to her excessive use of words. Although she keeps trying to convince me to go shopping with her, not going to happen. So we are finally leaving after having spent the whole day here. Dreslin is already promising that we'll be coming back tomorrow. She and Nudge really became good friends. Although I'm sure that's not too good an idea. I saw them sneaking glances at me and whispering to each other. What did I ever do to them? I just met Nudge and she's already planning against me!

"To the batmobile!" I exclaim as we walk out of their headquarters. Ashley and Dreslin laugh at me. Fang just chuckles. Wierdo. But who cares? I sprint to the batmobile and call out "shotgun!"

"Hey! I still haven't ridden shotgun yet." Dreslin sadly exclaims.

"Oh well. Not our fault you're slow. So Fang, when you plan on letting me drive this bad boy?" I ask as he walks to the driver's side and gets in.

"Hmmmm…let me think. Never." he says as he starts the car and we quickly drive to our temporary place of residence.

"Aaaaw why not?" I pout.

"Because this is not a toy and if you get so much as a scratch on it I will personally see to the torture of you." he answers.

"Jeez. What is with guys and their cars?" I mumble under my breath. Fang chuckles again. This has got to be the longest we've gone without getting into an argument. It's kinda nice. He must've got all of his arguments and insults out while he was around Iggy. What is with them? I'll have to remember to ask him sometime when we're alone. We get to our headquarters and Ashley, Dreslin, and I say goodnight to Fang.

"Well this has been an interesting day. Don't ya think?" Dreslin says.

"Yeah, but why does it seem like our lives are usually pretty interesting?" I ask.

"The universe works in strange ways young grasshopper." Ashley says in old man Japanese. We all laugh at that. This is what I kind of miss. Just us joking around and maybe we can do this more with a few added additions. So Ashley, Dreslin, and I fall asleep watching movies and just having a little fun for once. I guess a vacation wasn't such a bad idea, but I have a feeling that this momentary peace isn't going to last very long at all. It's just not how the lives of assassins work.

AN: I tried to make this chapter long, but not much is happening and I wasn't sure what to put. Sorry if its boring. This week is spring break for me so I'll try to put out a couple chapters depending on how my ideas come to me. We'll see. So review! Questions, comments, concerns, and criticisms welcome. Thanks
