Axelia Moore

Axelia, Atlas and the Aftermath

Axelia sighed as she dropped herself on the couch. After the whole ordeal that happened at the Art Gallery, Atlas and Axelia had managed to escape and arrive safe and sound at the Moore Residence, where everyone was ready for a war. Atlas sat down, right next to Axelia, making sure to keep his hands to himself, he didn't want to push his luck, give that Raphael Moore was about to murder someone.

Axelia licked her lips and sighed. "They weren't professionals, as you all already know," She started as she took off her heels. "They were using .22, used some fake concert smoke, and were clearly not even sure what their mission was."

Raphael and Ivan turned to face her. "Any tattoos or something that would lead us to identify them?" Questioned Ivan.

Axelia turned to face Atlas, her eyebrows furrowed. "Negative," Atlas replied. "There wasn't time to figure out if they had tattoos," Ivan frowned.

"However," Axelia spoke. "All of their shoes had a dark green spot."

Atlas turned to face Axelia, and she simply shrugged, she had an eye for every detail. "As Axelia mentioned, they weren't sure what their mission was," Raphael nodded. "We escaped using the basement, no one was there,"

"How did you know there was a basement?" Lucas questioned. "Not even the Art Gallery is aware of such information."

Axelia and Atlas turned once again to meet the eye, what? "I studied the blueprints,"

"So did I," Axelia added. "The basement is there, how can they not know?"

Erik sighed as he ran through the security footage. "Caught a match!" He shouted making everyone turn to him. "I will run him through our database,"

"And every database," Axelia sighed as she stood up. "Can you put him up on the screen?"

Erik did as he was asked, and as the picture appeared on the screen, recognition went through everyone's eyes. "Stalin."

Raphael Moore and Ivan Dortmund stayed up late at night, trying to understand why someone like Stalin Connor made such a lame attempt at an attack. He had the resources, the men and everything to make a better kidnap situation unless of course, he was simply trying to prove a point.

That he could get close enough to the children they love.

Raphael took a sip of his drink as he stared at his new friend, Ivan stared out at the window. He had had several attacks from Stalin, and yet, he had never tried to touch his child, right up until now. He had a slight assumption, that his son was merely a means to an end... what he really wanted, was to bring Raphael Moore down, just like everyone else.

"What's the conspiracy theory that you are cooking up?" Raphael sighed and Ivan turned to him raising an eyebrow. "I can see the gears inside your brain moving. Spill it out."

"Stalin has attacked me before," Ivan started. "Yet, he had never tried to attack where Atlas has been."

Raphael nodded. "He wants to get to me," He clicked his tongue. "Well, he made an announcement, loud and clear, is time for the master plan." He smirked.

"And that is?" Ivan questioned.

"We, my dear friend," Raphael smirked. "Are going to use our children."

Axelia cursed as she hit the punching bag in front of her. She had overheard his father and Ivan talking about the master plan, and she knew that the master plan included her and this time, Atlas Dortmund. She had decided to start training harder before her father told her to do so.

Bear sighed as he saw Axelia train harder, he was forever grateful that she knows everything about the Mafia, and how to take care of herself, given that when everything went down, he wasn't there, right next to her... He blamed himself, he had to be surer about the surroundings, but he couldn't help but observe Axelia with Atlas, she was growing to be the perfect princess, and he didn't want to miss a damn thing.

"Fich!" Axelia groaned as she held her wrist. Bear turned to face her. "Oh shit, this was not part of the plan." She took in a deep breath, and he saw how she was going to fix her wrist.

"Wait!" Bear spoke causing Axelia to gasp. "I don't think you are going to make it better like that."

"How can I fix this Bear?" She whined in a small voice. "I can't get hurt, not right now." She whispered.

"Let's have Lucas dictate how we are going to proceed," Bear spoke, and she nodded.

As they made their way into the foyer, they couldn't help but listen to the gossip that was running around. Axelia frowned as she walked up towards the entrance, only to see a baby doll covered in blood with a message...

Axelia was meant to be dead... A few years later, but I will complete my mission... Axelia Moore is no other than Baby Coopernate.
