In the headmaster's office the Raven was sifting through memories of Ezio Auditore, on one of the three Animus. Going through his later memories a spice trader got word of a man with a cloak that could disappear from sight completely. That man was a master thief known for stealing a precious gold crown off a royal in the neighboring kingdom of Monteriggioni. Having members of the brotherhood investigate it but there was only one lead. A tomb that was hidden away the con artist was trapped and presumed dead so Ezio gave up the search. Catching a glimpse of where the tomb might have been located the Raven had what he'd been searching for.

Coming out of the Animus he found a brown haired man in forest green robes with a dark cowboy hat.

"Find anything useful in there Aiden? You've been in there all day brah." the brown haired man asked

"How long have you been waiting here Roy? Nevermind, I got a lock on something that could help."

"Found something on the staff of power?!"

"Even better a way to fight it! I might know where to find the cloak of invisibility." The Raven explained

"Oh really?! That is better. Although we don't have the time or resources to send an expedition to look for it."

"Seem's like we're gonna have to go ourselves now otherwise, we won't be ready for the Order's attack. Even though Dorian didn't tell them anything. Our brothers have been getting merked left and right. They have such a hold on this City it's insane. You and I will have to go on the expedition ourselves."

"Woah I don't have the time to be leaving town at the moment my in-laws are coming into town so I'll be booked up. Maybe another time when we have the resources…"

"Ahh I see…Good luck with that buddy."

The both of them sighed heavily and did their secret handshake before heading their separate ways. Heading back to his apartment the Raven finished up some chores before he received a phone call.

"Honey where you at?" a voice on the phone said

"At home, why?" The Raven replied leaning back on the couch.

"I'm having a party with a bunch of my friends at my crib. You should come over. They really want to meet you."

"They're your friends shouldn't you be hanging with them, not cuddled up to me. You know that's rude." he said flipping on the TV.

"Aww come on. Allen is here with Sofia. Please please come over!"

Letting out a sigh he turned off the TV and stood up,"Fine babe. I'll be there in 15…" He said as she yelled something to the crowd in the background. Then they hung up.

About twenty minutes later the Raven arrived, wearing an open black jacket over a nice black button up and blue jeans, at her apartment door. Knocking on the door a girl with lime green hair opened the door.

"Aiden! Took you long enough to get here! Come on In!" She said, opening the door wide and hugging him.

"Hey Sofia, You've been alright? Hope Allen hasn't been annoying you with his bad jokes, has he?" The Raven laughed, hugging her back before walking in.

"Haha, he's dialed it back quite a bit. Now he just talks endlessly about Space Marines. It's still not as bad as those shitty jokes though. So it's a step. You've been disappearing less. I can tell cause Laura seems her usual bubbly sel-"

"Finally you're here!" A lovely blue haired beauty yelled excitedly walking over and pecking the Raven's cheek before ushering them to the rest of the party was,"What were you two talking about hmmm?"

"Oh nothing…." the Lime green haired woman said, smiling and making her way to Allen. Who was standing with a beer in his hand. Allen waved at them as they came over. Seeing a familiar face the Raven haired man almost jumped out of his skin seeing a woman with Scarlet hair.

"What was that about?" Allen asked.

"Oh don't mind me…Who's you're frien-"

"My name is Avalynn, Nice to meet you Aiden. I've heard many great things about you." The Scarlet haired woman announced, reaching her hand out to shake his hand.

"Yeah….Nice to meet you Avalynn. How long have you known Laura? She hasn't mentioned anything to me." The Raven said as he shook her hand. Felt a tight grip as she almost didn't want to let go of his hand he noticed a scar on her hand.

"Okay okay enough introductions. Let's get back to the game. I'm still up by 3. It's Allen's turn next…" the Blue haired beauty said, wrapping her arm around the Raven's as they all sat around the coffee table.

Having a magnificent time the group was drinking and playing board games. Needing to take a leak the Raven went down the hall to the bathroom walking by Laura's bedroom he saw a picture of her and the scarlet haired girl and Sofia holding a giant fish while they were smiling. Going in to take a closer look. Picking up the framed photo he felt a knife velcro to the back. Noticing it was a lot like the blades that the Order uses, the Raven looked confused. Sensing a presence behind him he put the photo down, turning to see the Scarlet haired woman closing the door behind her.

"So Aiden…What are you doing snooping around?" She said walking up to him a dastardly smirk on her face.

"Uhh I have no idea what you're talking abo-"

He was interrupted by that very same blade appearing at his neck held by the Scarlet haired woman,"Now you've been here recently but you wouldn't have been off with some other girl, would you? Cause if you were then we'd have some problems."

Looking at the Scarlet haired girl with a soft smile, his hands up,"Of course not. I was with the boys. We've been traveling a lot."

Squinting her eyes she looked at the raven intently. She smiled before smiling big and removing the knife from his neck as he relaxed,"Good, wouldn't want any problems. Anywho, let's get back to the party before they notice we're missing…"

Letting out a sigh of relief the Raven walked behind her leaving Laura's bedroom. She went back to the party while he went to the bathroom. After finishing up his business he came back to the party. Few hours later everyone was leaving and the Raven walked over to the Blue haired beauty as she was cleaning up.

"Yo babe, how long have you known Avalynn?"

"Oh we go way back. Avalynn, Sofia, and I used to go to highschool together. Why do you ask?" She replied throwing beer cans in the trash.

"Just wondering…."

Having a bad feeling, he shrugged it off and went to help her clean the apartment. Once they were done the two cuddled up on the couch watching a movie.
