Tina POV

I heard my alarm on my phone go off and reached for it, turning it off. I groaned and saw Alex's sleeping face. 

"So cute." I said to myself and kissed his nose. He shuffled in his sleep and pulled me closer to him.

"Ahem!" Felix's voice came from over our sleeping bag. I looked up and saw a scowling Felix and a blushing Ivan and Mylene. I gasped and covered my chest in embarrassment. 

"Alex. Alex, wake up." I said and tapped his shoulder. Alex got up, yawned and stretched his arms.

"Mornin'. What's up?" He asked and saw the trio. "Oh."

"Nice to see you too." Felix said.

"Guys, we can explain." I said.

"Y-yeah. We were wrestling." Alex said with a smile. I slapped him in the back of his neck.

"Not helping!" I pouted.

"If you two wanted to- you know. You could've done it anywhere else." Ivan said as he tried to hide the blush on his face.

"As if you two hadn't gone to second base already." Alex said with a smirk.

Ivan and Mylene blushed.

"Hey, don't change the subject." Felix snapped.

"You're mad coz you never got laid." Alex said. I stifled my laughter.

"S-shut up!" Felix snapped and crossed his arms with a huff.

"Anyway. We should get ready. Shower's at the end of the corridor." Alex said.

"We already showered. We're waiting for you." Ivan said.

"Oh. Ok." Alex replied.

After a quick shower, egg and toast for breakfast and getting dressed, we made our way to Alex's underground workshop. Alex explained that we should be equip themselves for the fight ahead of us.  I decided to exchange my broken sword for a titanium staff that I can hook to my belt and some more trick arrows. Alex repaired his armoured jumpsuit and equipped his wrist-mounted crossbow bolts , owl boomerang and smoke bombs. Mylene was given a pair of shock knuckle duster and a grappling gun along with a bullet proof vest and leg guards. Felix was given armoured gloves and a shock baton, along with body armour.

"So this is how you get prepared when fighting crime." Felix said as he examined the baton.

"Yeah. My godfather helped me make all of this." Alex said as he tugged on his mask and trench coat.

"Pretty cool." Ivan said as he twirled his mace.

"Alright, Al. What's our first step?" I asked.

"First, we need to find this factory and stop it from creating more of those brainwashing rings. We also need to find Alya and the others. We can't fight an entire army on our own." Alex said.

"Last time I heard, they escaped to London. And after what I saw, I think it's a high chance that they've been captured since they returned to Paris." Felix said as he tugged his gloves.

"And probably brainwashed. I think the factory is a few kilometres from Françoise Dupont High School. We should go there." Ivan suggested.

"In that case, we'll head there." Alex said and activated his teleporter.

"Good thing I charged this last night." Alex added as he entered the coordinates in the PDA. 

"Before your wrestling session?" Felix asked smugly. Ivan and Mylene giggled. I blushed.

"Shut it, Fix it Felix." Alex growled and pushed the button.
