"We have eyes on Falcon and Prongs."

Mary MacDonald's voice was comforting in Lily's ear as she and James stood by an alleyway entrance to the Tube.

"Puma, Cobra, and Padfoot are now on perimeter." Marlene's voice confirmed.

James had assigned each spy their role very cautiously, to allow no room for error that morning. Mary and Remus were on camera duty; Mary to collect and assist any wounded, Remus to work the tech. Sirius, Dorcas, and Marlene to secure the perimeter, they were most likely to be the first to encounter hostility and therefore the highest alert. Alice, Frank, and Peter were standing by in various stations in order to cause a distraction should it be needed.
Finally, Lily and James were going to go for Ophelia once she was located. That was their only job, get to Ophelia and find Harry.

"Sit tight everyone," Remus said in their earpieces, "god knows how long we'll be here."

It had turned out Remus had been right. The Death Eaters had been quiet for the whole day, making hardly any appearances, though Dorcas had received intel from the tech they'd stolen from the warehouse raid that nearly all of them were here. Now.

The perimeter control team was considering making the first move when they made an appearance.

"We got company."

"There should be four DEs in total in your area, Padfoot," Mary's voice rang in his earpiece.

It wasn't long before a fight ensued. More Death Eaters were pouring out from their hiding places. The Distraction team came running to join the battle.

"Prongs, Falcon! You should have a clear path inside! GO!"

James and Lily shared a glance before bolting towards the abandoned tunnel.

The two of them had been walking for over an hour, seeing nothing. No doors, no divulging tunnels, just a train line, and darkness.
Every so often Remus or Mary would speak to them, telling them they were still in camera range, or to update them on the fights going on elsewhere. By the sounds of things, they were outnumbered.

It was only when they reached a certain point that Mary told them to stop.
"We don't have eyes any further down this line. We won't be able to see you."

Lily glanced at James, then around the poorly lit tunnel.

That's when she saw it.

A faded blue door was just feet away from them. That had to be it.

"It's fine, Mary. I think we need to do this on our own anyway." James replied, taking his girlfriend's hand and leading them towards the door, unsure of what they might find on the other side...
