Into deception

Sunshine

📚

-So what exactly are we meant to do once we do end up in South America?- Ray signs before getting back to packing his clothes neatly into his black duffle bag.

"Bane has a place for all us already set up, from there we'll get in contact with Will who can hopefully pull some strings from his end" Max replies.

-So we don't actually know if where she is just yet?-

"Not officially, no"

-Do we at least know if we're gonna kill her-

"Ray come on Mia is standing right there"

-I'm just asking because she's killed over a dozen people-

"No Ray is right, she's killed hundreds and thousands of people" I get lost halfway into my mind, this could be my mother though.

-And does her being your mother affect any of the decisions your making? Because I'm sorry but you need to set that aside-

"Ray for Christ sakes you could at least pretend to have a drop of emotions in there" Max cried throwing his hoodie at him, Ray just shrugs confused.

"No Ray, it won't matter in the end"

Max who was more than part of this conversation grows silent at this yet doesn't react at my ability to shut off all emotions. After all he saw what I did to Belle and my own father, but Ray has all the right to doubt what I say. Levi on the other hand trusts what I say without a doubt which makes my life a lot easier.

-Fair enough- He throws his bag onto the pile of countless other bags that has gradually expanded over the time. Me, Max, Levi and even Nicholas have packed. But Ray has been extra slow today and none of us can blame him, he's spent more time with Himiko then humanly possible -I'm off to sleep, if anyone needs me I don't care do not wake me- and with that he leaves.

"He's just a ray of sunshine isn't he" Max shakes his head.

"The humour in that is his entire name" Lev adds in and Max chuckles.

"Ray might be a tad..." I begin to say but the longer I think of compliments the more Lev and Max want to laugh.

"Scary?"

"Grumpy?"

"Mean?"

"Inhuman?"

"Alright no, I was going to say distant" I shake my head, they're dicks. But also a tad right.

"Okay well I'm hungry so I'm about to cook up the best meal anyone's ever had, whose eating?"

"Max, if you're cooking....everyone's eating"

I laugh and watch as Levi and Max get closer by the second. They went from hating each other to actually being good friends, love to see it.

"Count me out"

Max looks at me along with Levi, both confused.

"Don't look at me like I've killed your family pets"

"Feelings the same princess, it hurts"

"Wait why won't you join us?"

I look at Levi and refrain from smiling "I may or may not have a date"

"You what now-"

"Alright so Bane is definitely killing him-"

"It's with Nicholas Max" I smile "and Lev, feel free to shoot me"

"I will in a second" she stands there utterly taken back "since when are you two-"

"We're not. We're just getting food"
