Once again, Arya found herself on a plane, nauseous and light headed. She grumbled to herself as she sat there, complaining about the choice of transportation and took a sip of her drink from beside her.

"Why planes? Why not a nice boat?" She mumbled, causing Calum to chuckle from across the row.

"That'd take too long Arya. And besides, were about to land." He said, and she mimicked him in a childish voice, and Michael laughed as she did so.

"Hey, it'll be okay. Here, have some gum." Luke said, offering her a piece, and she gratefully took it. She chewed, relieving the pressure in her ears and she sighed at the relief. The plane started to descend, causing Arya to grip the arm rests tight.

The five landed, and Arya was the first one off of the plane. She pushed past Calum, and took a deep breath as she stood and looked out. Luke came out as well, beaming at her before going into the rental service area and grabbing the car for them.

"I'm driving!" Michael yelled, and Calum glared at him before taking the keys from Luke.

"I'm driving." Calum stated, and Ashton rolled his eyes before climbing into the backseat while Arya sat shotgun. Michael reluctantly climbed into the backseat as well, pushing Luke into the middle and Luke whined as he was uncomfortable due to him being the tallest.

"You are a grown man, yet you're whining about sitting in the middle?" Calum asked, looking at him in the rearview mirror before following along the directions and leaving the airport.

"I wanted to drive." Luke mumbled, and Arya smirked from the front seat as she turned to look at Luke.

"You could have gotten shotgun, you know." Arya said, and Luke frowned.

"I was being a gentleman." Luke said, and Michael elbowed him before leaning back in his seat.

"I don't know why you're whining, we literally are getting to the hotel within five minutes." Michael said, and Ashton remained quiet as Luke glared at him. Soon enough, they pulled into the hotel parking lot, slipping on hoods as they wouldn't be recognized and they went inside.

Calum went and grabbed the room keys, before the five went upstairs and Arya shook the hood off of her head. She went into her room, before collapsing on the bed and Luke sat at the edge.

"I have a question." Luke whispered, and she sat up, crossing her legs and she nodded. Luke looked around, before leaning in beside her.

"So if you're not attracted to anyone, how does that work?" He whispered, and Arya glanced around, before looking at him.

"I just don't have an attraction towards anyone." Arya admitted, and Luke nodded but he had a confused look on his face.

"So like, sexually?" Luke asked, a blush on his face and Arya nodded.

"Like, I see that they're attractive, but I don't want to do anything with them."  Arya said, and Luke nodded once again.

"Oh okay, I see." Luke said, and he quieted as Michael walked into the room.

"Talking about girl stuff? Want me to come back later?" Michael asked, and Luke rolled his eyes but laughed as Arya kicked him in the back and Michael chuckled.

"I'm kidding, don't keep your panties in a twist." He said, and Arya glared at him before going into the adjecent hotel room and sat by Ashton. Ashton was typing away at his computer, glaring at the screen before gritting his teeth and leaning back in his chair.

"You alright?" Arya asked, and Ashton shook his head.

"I'm growing frustrated with this. It's pissing me off that we don't know exactly where she'll be. Xerxes was so much easier, he was a high-ranking profile, but this woman is barely seen anywhere." Ashton said, and Arya nodded.

 "We have two targets. Sven Graner and then Milburga. High priority is Milburga. We go after her at all costs." Ashton said, and Calum nodded from beside Ashton.

"Just remember what I've been teaching you Arya, you should be fine." Calum said, and Arya nodded once again. The three went over planning, as Ashton and Arya had to come up with their cover story.

"No, for the last time. It's not believeable that you that you two were supposed to kill each other but then fell in love? It sounds stupid." Michael said as he walked in and Ashton rolled his eyes.

"I don't care, we just need a story." Ashton mumbled, and Calum chuckled.

"Just don't bother telling them it. It's not like you'll really be together besides for walking in, and then Arya can go after Sven." Luke said, and Michael grimaced.

"Are you sure you want Arya to take out Sven?" Michael asked and she glared at him as Ashton nodded.

"She'll be able to handle Sven. She can try and corner him off, that way we can get him alone. Her on the other hand, will be difficult. She has security guards with her often." Ashton said, and Luke nodded.

"Okay, so you need to get Sven away from her. Ask him for a drink or something, then take him upstairs. Don't do anything with him until we say though, alright?" Calum said and Arya nodded.

"So tomorrow, we're taking them out, right?" Arya asked and Ashton sighed as he shut the laptop.

"We can hope so."
