"The plan is to search for Stella," anyone could have told them that, but Miiko was making a lame attempt at a joke. She wiggled her bare toes, feeling scratchy sand between them, then shook out her scarf and used it to wrap her hair in it. "It'll benefit us in the long run if they can't identify us," Miiko said, summoning up her magic wand. The weapon was unique to Miiko, made with tender love and care by Nino. Of course Miiko didn't know that Nino was once one of L's most trusted advisers, she did, however, know that Nino betrayed the Republic by joining the Rebellion and was assisting on the inside until they grew suspicious and it was no longer safe for her to stay there. Nino was also the main designer on this building, meaning that the layout would be confusing to anyone who had never seen a map or schematic. Security would be immaculate, Miiko had no doubt in her mind that they would still be using Nino's plans.
Nino was a genius, Miiko felt a stab in her stomach thinking about how Nino had come all alone, how she had nearly been killed when she showed up in Jasper in her ruined Republic uniform, in terrible distress. Miiko could remember the day that she met Nino very clearly, it was before Stella was taken from their home. An exchange, someone had once said. In exchange for Nino, they had taken Stella. Now they were here to take Stella back. "Wait, why am I paired with her!" Miiko had the same sentiment as Havran, she didn't want to be paired up with the brat that had a superiority complex. Miiko placed her hands on her hips, "fine, but I'm in charge!" She hooked a thumb in the direction to herself. Not wearing shoes would make it too easy to identify her, which was why Miiko put her socks back on, leaving her shoes in Gavin's bag.
"Special elevator?" Miiko swallowed, she hated elevators. Her first time inside of one had been scary, hearing that Stella had to take one everyday was horrifying. "Rose, what if Stella is angry?" Miiko asked worriedly, "I stood by while she got cut down, I wasn't able to help her. What if she doesn't want to see me?" In some sense, every child felt a certain blame for everything that happened within their family. Athena's illness, Jace and Varus's falling out. Some days Miiko found herself thinking that what if it was she and not Stella that had been taken? Would her family simply chalk it up as a loss and move on? Would they save Miiko from the tines of the Republic? Would they believe her to be dead like they had Stella for so long?
"I found one!" Miiko pointed to two metal doors tucked into the corner. They were elevators, but did they go down to the floor that they would need? "How does your source know where they are?" If they did, why hadn't they broken Stella out sooner? Miiko's stomach danced at the thought of seeing her sister again. "Rose, I can't wait for you to meet her." Miiko smiled, "I think you and Stella will get along really well," Miiko clapped her hands together. "I've decided that when we get back, we should have a welcome party. For you it'll be a welcome to Yavin, since we never had one, and for Stella it'll be a welcome back party because she's coming home." Would Rose help Miiko plan it?
