CH9- The Last Supper

3rd Person View

As experiments 1-6 sat at the same table, no one spoke a word, all digesting the presences of everyone.

"Alright everyone, we're on a time-crunch so it's time to talk. I will start by introducing everyone. Laura, this is Wanda, Pietro, Hisako, and Chris. Everyone, this is Laura." Azrael spoke, as everyone then formally greeted Laura as she did the same.

Right now wasn't the time for any over the top communicating, today everyone came here to talk business, so a formal geeeting was enough.

"Alright, I won't stall further, we all know what we're for and what we're here to do." Everyone nodded and anticipated what he would say next. Before speaking, he passed an earpiece to Laura, in which she accepted gracefully.

"Here we go. Tomorrow at midnight is when we'll strike. As most of you know, here at the facility, at midnight is when a guards shift ends and another's begins. During this change is when we'll each escape our cells and attempt a quiet and effective escape." Azrael was interrupted by Laura who raised her hand.

He gently put her hand down and nodded towards her.

"I'll explain your situation later." She nodded and inwardly frowned after Azrael moved his hand back.

"As soon as the guards of Pietro, Wanda, and I are leaving for the switch, I'll melt a hole in the wall that leads me into Wanda's cell. Since it's night and barely any moonlight passes through, the guards wouldn't see it. Wanda will then use her powers to cast a camouflage on us to hide from guards and cameras, and bend the bars to allow us to leave the cell.

She'll put them back in place, meanwhile Pietro phases through the bars using his super speed and shortly after, Wanda will camouflage him as well so he won't have to continuously phase. We'll make our ways to you two's cell and proceed with the same procedure.

After making Hisako and Chris invisible, Chris will use his powers to deactivate the cameras entirely because I'm almost certain that they have infrared sensors, and Hisako will encase us in an armor bubble in case of any sneak attacks." He paused, allowing everyone who was mentioned so far to understand their roles.

He then turned to Laura, who returned my gaze and sunk in her chair, letting their bodies meet further. She looked like she was internally struggling with something, the blush on her face told a lot, but also nothing at all. Azrael ignored this for the time being, seeing as there were more important things at hand.

"Well, she'll do that when we make it to your cell. Once we do make it your cell, Chris will use his electrical powers to short circuit the command system that controls your cell opening and closing. Once it's open, we rid you of your handcuffs and collar. After that should be game. I've already made a bunch of sneak trips to Strucker's office and the archive room. I have the information I need for this plan to succeed."

'I also have all the information I could want.' Azrael thought

Wanda raised her hand like a school girl, so Azrael pointed at her amusingly.

"What if we do encounter trouble at any point during the process?" He looked at her, thinking about her question for not long at all before coming up with an answer.

"Well that's what Laura is for." Said mutant in question looked at Azrael confusingly.

"Laura certainly has the most combat experience out of all of us combined, even at her younger age. We just have to throw her at every enemy ahead of us while throwing long distance and precise attacks as to not hit Laura." Wanda nodded her head in satisfaction.

"Do we all understand?" Everyone nodded except Chris.

"Hold on, we all seem to have major roles in this plan, except you. What are you doing this whole time?" Surprisingly, Laura was about to speak up for Azrael first, but he put his hand over her hand to stop her.

'I don't know why, but this whole time she's been here, she has progressively been more and more fond of me. It's gone from her discreetly positioning herself so our bodies touch and blushing, to standing up for me in a matter of less than 5 minutes. I've got no idea what has caused this unwarranted change, but it was under no circumstances considered unwelcome.' Azrael thought, a warmth filling his chest as he looked at Laura.

Azrael put his attention back to Chris, letting out an exasperated sigh.

"Chris, let's imagine that I never came back to life. What would you be doing tomorrow at 12 am? You'd be sleeping, getting ready for another day of hell. Chris, I'm the brains of the operation, the brains is the most valuable player of the team when orchestrating something like this. Just because I'm not doing the heavy work doesn't mean I'm not doing any work at all. It's taken me months to learn and understand the infrastructure of this entire bass just so this mission can go smoothly. Don't get it twisted."

Chris was silent for a second before nodding his head, showing no more discomfort within the plan. They still had a few minutes until we went to the yard.

"This is going to be our last lunch together." Hisako pointed out. They all looked at eachother, acknowledging that fact. A sense of nostalgia overcame the bunch as they began to have wholesome conversations that reminisced all the times they shared. Even Laura was giving some of her own input.

This happy demeanor amongst all of them carried on into yard time as they played a light hearted game of 3v3 basketball, first to 21, this would end up being their last activity here. Aside from that small detail, they all enjoyed eachother's company, ultimately being forced to separate when yard time eventually ended.

Guards came and escorted Laura back to her "secret" cell. They all gave her a nod of recognition and she gave one back. Chris and Hisako were next to depart. And eventually, the three Maximoff's were left, all three of them arriving at their cells for the last time.

"It's unbelievable." I looked at Wanda with a confused face, Pietro following right behind me with the same expression.

"Me and Pietro were thinking that we could never get out of here, every plan we could think of by ourselves would always come up short with problem after problem. But thanks to you, we'll once again regain our freedom, but this time with you. Thank you Ezzy." Wanda gave Azrael a deep hug, followed by Pietro, making this an emotional sibling moment, one they haven't had in years.

"You're welcome, I'm just glad we could be reunited on good terms." The three then dispersed from the hug, and waited patiently.
