《A/N sorry for the long time of no updates but work go hectic and I got really stressed out. But I should be able to go back to one chapter a week plus some here and there. Thank you for staying with me. <3  》


Sanya and Eila left early this morning. All with telling me, it was obviously Eila final jab at me for last night. I shuffle my way to the dinning room to have breakfast with everyone. I walk in to hear.

Krupinski - 'Grape juice! '

Rall - ' No. '

What is going on here. I look around see Krupinski now sulking, and Rall enjoying her morning coffee.

Krupinski - ' Ill take Nippa, Nao, and Hikari. It would be good for them to get long distance flight experience. '

I see Rall nod to her choice. She then turms her head to me.

Rall - ' I have some documents to deliver. You will deliver them to the flight leader of the 507th. '

The 507th, isn't that the old Suomus joint volunteer wing? The one were Anabuki and Beurling came from? The one with that wretched tanuki? Oh no. She's actually sending me to my doom. What did I do to deserve this?

Hikari- ' ...ley. Ashley! '

The sudden shouting snaps me back to reality.  I look around and everyone is looking at me concerned.

Ashley - ' Can we delegate this to someone else? '

Rall - ' It's a simple letter delivery. '

Ashley - ' I'd much rather fly into a hive then go there. '

Nippa - ' You don't like Suomus? '

Ashley - ' Not that! It's I really don't feel safe going to the 507th. '

I look back to Rall to see a knowing glint in her eyes. Don't you dare!

Rall - ' You'll be fine, she grew up. '

Everyone looks at Rall in confusion then back to me.

Ashley - ' That doesn't change anything. The fact that the Tanuki is there is the problem. '

Kanno - ' You have a problem with Tanukis? There are known for good luck! It's an important animal to Fuso.

I glance to the other Fuso witches and they give small nods of agreement amongst themselves.

Ashley - ' I don't have a problem with the animal. I just don't like the leader of the 507th! I don't feel safe around her. You don't know what she's done!'

Kanno - ' Oh, what has she done then?'

I let some fake tears come out of my eyes.

Ashley - ' Anabuki was never the same. '

Hikari - ' You know Anabuki? '

Ashley - ' Yes, met her and Beurling when I was at the 501st in Britannia. '

Kanno - ' What did she do to Anabuki? '
Ashley - ' she didn't take no for an answer. Poor Anabuki. '

I hear shocked gasps from all around the table, but I also hear two sighs.

Rossmann - ' She is over exaggerating what happened. Although somethings happened. It was like Krupinski's bad flirting. '

Tsk. I feel everyone's glare on me. I turn my head away from everyone. They continue their gazing into me.

Ashley - ' Ughhhhh, Fine. I'll go. Right, did you get the macaroons Eila and Sanya sent? '

Rossmann - ' No we haven't. '

Ashley I'll be in my room if you need me. '

I leave from the table and go back to my room.

In my room I got through my things and find the old Warlock blueprints. I'm going to need these soon. Like clockwork a knock on my door draws my attention. 

Rossmann - ' Ashley, the Commander wants to see you. '

Ashley - ' Ill be right there.'

I pick up the briefcase and walk out of my room. I follow behind Rossmann as she also walks to Ralls office. 

Rossmann - ' How did you know about the macaroons and what they had inside? '

Ashley - ' I had a feeling that there would be some under handed method that the 501st would try to give you intelligence on classified information.  '

Just as I finish my words we stop at Rall's office. I push open the door and go in, Rossmann follows behind me. She shuts the door and we gather aroumd Ralls desk.

Rall - ' Ashley, there were pieces of information in the microfilm that you know more about the warlock. '

Ashley - ' I do. After all I designed it. '

This shocks everyone in the room.

Ashley - ' Well blueprints and concept. The Neuroi core to power it was not my idea, nor was it a good one. I tried to put more safety measures in to stop it from going rogue. They didn't add them, they said it was a waste of space to add them in. What would a girl like you know. Yeah, thats pretty much it. Oh right! '

I hand over my brief case to Rall. And turn it over to her.

Ashley - ' Inside are test analysis and blueprint documents for the warlock. I also managed to snag the combat log before it went rogue. After reading through all of this please burn it all. They shouldn't exist anymore. '

Rall - ' Even so the effectiveness of the warlock might be enough for them to use  is witches to take care of the warlock after it goes rogue, or theu change the design. '

Ashley - ' Impossible, all documents and people involved are unavailable or destroyed.  Galland made sure of that, plus a few extra criminal charges I managed to throw in to help. '

They all look at me with concerning looks. I roll my eyes.

Ashley - ' It's just some political crimes nothing major. Also Krupinski tone down the flirting with me, or I'll unplug your morphine. '

Krupinski - ' Now, Now Wolffy. No need to get embarrassed, Im just showing my love. '

I give a dead stare, your morphine pass has expired. I look back to Rall.

Ashley - ' I'll head out tomorrow with the others and split off to the 507th. I'll go get some rest before the trip. '

I turn and leave the room, shutting the door behind me. This is going to be a long few days, it's just a letter drop, nothing bad will happen. Great I just raised flags. Maybe I should get some shooting practice in tonight. That would be calming, maybe a cup of tea too. Why can't the 501st be reformed faster.
