Kita's Story

Hannah stood in her apartment, facing the training dummy that she had bought online years back. It was battered, and torn, but she was still practicing with it. She inhaled slowly, and then unleashed an attack on the dummy. A flurry of punches and kicks assailed the red leather for a full five minutes before it abruptly ended. She stepped back, panting, bent over with her hands on her knees. It had been a long morning for Hannah - she had arisen with her alarm clock at 4 am, and gone for her usual half an hour jog. She'd then returned home, fed her cat, eaten her breakfast, drank her coffee, and gone to the backroom where she had spent a further half an hour training. The time was now 06:04, according to the digital clock on the wall. She was four minutes late this morning. Hannah chuckled to herself, and went to the bathroom, where she stripped, and lifted a remote to the CD player in the corner.

Music began playing throughout the modern apartment as Hannah stepped into the shower and washed her body and hair. Stepping out, she dressed herself, and then picked up the keys to her car. Dressed conservatively, sports bag in hand, she went down to her car and drove to the museum, arriving promptly at 8am after a long shower and a leisurely drive, where she paused at starbucks to pick up a coffee. She parked up and walked in, her heels clicking on the ground.

She paused long enough in the cloakroom to take off her simple black dress, and change into her jeans and tank top, ready for the meeting. Hannah left her belongings in their usual place and walked to the conference room, right on time. The door behind her closed with a thud and nodded her greetings.

"Good morning all" Kita smiled and greeted them formally.

Andy was at her apartment, a small thing just above nothing, as she called it. It was basic, a mattress on the floor, a toilet, shower, and training equipment. Great thing about not relying on any single type of weapon, she didn't have tot worry about others finding her. Any one up here that didn't know her, she would say she is a fitness buff. One of the things she really cared for was her equipment, high grade martial arts training, and her tv. She loved her television, 50 inch flat screen, HD, it made her so happy.

Right then, she was watching the cooking channel, something she would deny very quickly. She looked at the clock, 6:50. She knew the meeting was today, so she picked out a pair of jeans and an orange and black hoody. She shower quickly, put an under shirt on, her over clothes, styled her hair in her usual way, and left.

She walked to the museum, she didn't drive anywhere, it just wasn't her. Along the way, she cracked her arms, and three bones in her neck, before arriving at 7:50-ish. She didn't have anything to put away, so she just walked back to the conference room, where a couple people already sat.

"When is this damn meeting starting? I have a pottery class at 11." She said, sarcastically, mostly ignoring everyone.

"When is this damn meeting starting? I have a pottery class at 11." He heard Andy complain. And usually when someone complains, Akio takes it as a sign to finally start a meeting.

"Alright!" His voice boomed, "Since Andy has started complaining I guess we should start this thing."

He looked around to see who was all accounted for. Andy, Kita, Aron, Sky, himself, Sable, Lily... And you could count Rick.

"I know you hate talking forever on these things, but-" It was then his phone started ringing "Dammit... Worst timing in the world..." He muttered before speaking to the first person he saw, "Lily! You were here longer. You brief them. Everything's in this folder." He tossed a folder at the girl before answering his phone with a, "Hey baby girl." and walking into another room.

Lily looked up.
"What?" She asked, but it was too late. Lily sighed and picked up the folder. She cleared her throat.
"The heirs of Xi Bo, the only founder who quit, own their own society. We are at odds with them, as you may know," Lily tried to leep her voice steady as she remembered her grandmother. No one could know that, she would be kicked out most likely.
"We have declared them hostile," Lily kept going on. The meeting went on for about an half an hour.
"Meeting dismissed," Lily finished up.

Aron got up from the table, put out his pipe, nodded to Rick and left the room. HE got out his smart phone, pressed a few numbers and and waited while he walked outside the building into an alley.
"Hello?"
"Hi Pete, I was wondering, can you send me the blueprints and the security layout of this building" (and he gave an address)
"I believe I can, give me a few hours. Normal web sight?"
"Yes, and thanks." Aron hung up and started down the street.

Lily sighed as she walked out of the room and back into the training room. THat night they were going to work on an operation, and she was not looking forward to it, mainly because she had to coax the target into her car. She would have to go out clubbing and flirt with him, and she was not looking forward to it.

That night....
Lily cringed as she looked in the mirror of the locker room. THe dress she wore was a short, tight red dress that barely covered her thighs. She stomped out of the locker room. "I hate this job," She muttered as she pinned her hair up in a bun. "IF anyone makes ONE comment about this dress, I will kill you," Lily warned.

Kitten rolled her eyes as Lily talked about killing them if they made a comment. "Sure, whatever." She said, her usual bored self. "Let's try to get this over with quickly." Not making an attempt to hide her boredom. Kitten looked down at her shiny, black nails.

Lily wobbled in her heels as she approached the entrance. She lightly touched her small earpiece, pushing it in. Lily took a deep breath and opened the door. She was greeted by music and loud yelling, which was just what she hated. She sat down at the bar and ordered a drink. She smiled at the target and gave a little wave, then went back to her drink. The target approached her and politely introduced himself. Lily smiled. "Nice to meet you, my name's Andrea," She lied, taking another sip of her drink. The two made small talk for about half an hour. Lily quickly looked out the window. "One moment please," She quickly sat next to another Spider. "THey've got us surrounded outside," She whispered.

Lily smiled sweetly and went back to her seat. "Here, come with me," She dragged him outside. Some started firing, others hesitated, seeing that the man was there. Lily hid behind him, using him as a shield. She grabbed her gun and fired off, yelling for back-up.

Kitten heard the call for backup from outside while some guy offered her to buy a drink. She rolled her eyes and began running outside in her red crop top and black skinny jeans. How annoying she thought this all was. Grabbing her gun hidden in her purse, she began to shoot the people attempting to attack Lily.
