Standing behind a small wall in front of the Mexican Consulate me, Five, Diego, and Lila wait for the perfect time to get closer. At first I wasn’t going to come because Five tried to make me stay at the shop with Elliot, but since Lila got to go I told Five that there was no way I wasn’t going to stay here while she got to go. Besides if I came I might be able to get more answers about my powers or who I am.
Grabbing onto the edge of the wall I stand in between Lila and Five. Watching, I wait as Diego jumps over the small wall. Lila following behind him as they both crouch behind a car. Me being next I plant my palms on the wall jumping over it before crouching down beside the wall to wait for Five. When he gets over we both quickly walk over to the car crouching behind it. Diego in the front then Lila, Five, and I was the last. Crouching behind Five.
“So what’s the plan?” Lila asks.
“We infiltrate, we identify, we extract. Double time,” Diego answers.
Lila turns to Five. “What the hell’s he talking about?”
“Find the old man and get out fast,” Five answers.
“That’s what I said. On me,” Diego says walking to the other car in front of us.
“After you,” Lila says to Five. But Five just gives her a look. “What, I can’t be polite?”
“Cut the crap,” Five says. “All right? My dimwitted brother might buy your bullshit, but I don’t trust you for a second.”
“O ye of little faith,” Lila smiles.
“Stick it up your ass,” Five grins sarcastically. Lila smiles before getting up from behind the car to follow Diego. Keeping his eyes on Lila Five doesn’t look back at me and just grabs my wrist as we both get up from behind the car to follow Diego and Lila. Crouching behind the second car Diego looks back at us before nodding. Getting out from behind the car he runs to the side of the house the three of us following behind him as we all sneak in through the back door.
Getting in, we all act casual. Lila and Five grab some glasses of what I assumed was some kind of alcohol. But I didn’t question it and just followed Five's lead because Lila was already following Diego’s.
“I don’t see Dad anywhere,” Diego says.
“Just keep an eye out for the Majestic Twelve,” Five suggests. “I got the upstairs. Diego, try not to do anything too stupid, and keep and eye on Y/N.”
“What? I’m coming with you,” Five opens his mouth to say something. “And it’s not an option.”
Sighing loudly he just grabs my wrist and pulls me away from Diego and Lila. Following behind him he walks into the other room and towards the steps. Walking towards the steps I look around to see people dance, some slow, some a little up beat. With Five’s hand still wrapped around my wrist I grab his stopping, causing him to stop.
“What are you doing?” He asks, giving me a confused look.
“We should dance,” I smile.
“Not happening,” He shakes his head, turning around as he pulls my wrist to follow. But I don’t move causing him to stumble back, both our hands still gripping each other's wrist. Turning around Five gives me an angry look and opens his mouth to say something. I knew he was trying to scare me with his angry face, or try to appear powerful. But he didn’t scare me. Mocking his grin I grab his tie putting my pointer finger under the collar of the tie, gripping the lower half of it as I walk backwards onto the dance floor, giving Five no choice but to follow like a dog on a leash.
Getting in the middle of the dance floor I turn around as I let go of Five’s tie. Meeting his eyes I see that they are furrowed. Not in anger but in curiosity.
“Have you ever danced before?” I asked, grabbing his hand and placing it on my waist. Placing one hand on his shoulder I grab the other interlacing it with my as the other still lays on my waist.
Sliding his hand away from my waist he slides it up my back and to the middle, just over my spine. “Many times. My dad thought it would be a good idea if me, you, and my siblings learned in case we needed it for a mission.” With his hand still gripping mine he steps back spinning me in a quick half circle before pulling me back causing my back to lay against his chest as we both swayed from side to side. “But it never actually came to good use.”
Pulling away from his back I grab both hands getting in the original position we were in before. One of his hands rested on my back, as the other was interlaced with mine as my other hand rested on his shoulder. “It looks like it is now.” I smile before I twirl him around in a half circle before during what he did to me and pulling his back against my chest.
“You know,” Five says after a long moment of silence from dancing. Spinning me in a slow circle before putting both mine and his right’s arms over my chest, blocking my body before dipping me. His face inches from mine. “As much as I hated to dance, it was always fun when I got to dance with you.” He says softly, pulling me back up to my feet.
Smiling I lift up my arm as I spin out from under it. Turning back to Five I step forward to grab Five’s shoulder again, but my eyes soon fall on a group of men and all black suits heading upstairs.
