Falling for Thea Torretto

34. Unconventional help

The transport van backs up into the warehouse. The warehouse door rolls down and clangs as it hits the ground and the vans engine shuts off.

I release the breath I didn't realize I had been holding. The doors open and a hooded figure steps out. I smile at her and say
" Hello Blue."
Glowing yellow eyes peer out at me. Blue hands come up and pull back the hood. Revealing red hair and a beautiful blue face.

" Hello, Theodora."
I grimace at her using my full name.

" How many times have I asked you not to call me that?" I huff at her. She smiles a feline smile and says " About as many as I've asked you to not call me Blue."
I shake my head and say " It's good to see you but I need your help."
She rolls her eyes at me and walks past me to see Hobbs leaning against the wall watching our interaction.
" Blue don't even think about it."
I warn her .
She pouts and turns back to face me. " ok Thea , I'm here. What was so urgent you had an armed squadron break down my door at 2am to bring me here?

I hold out a file for her to take. She takes it and opens it. Her face goes from a bright blue to the palest blue I've ever seen.

" Dear merciful heaven. He's still alive? I thought he died in a car crash?"

I sit down at a nearby table and say " no. He didn't. And he wants me and my family to pay for leaving him to burn."

She looks up at me and says " how can I help?"

I smile at her " Do you remember that op we did in Nepal?"

A Cheshire Cat grin appears and she chuckles remembering how we pulled off one of the greatest operations known to man.

" oh this is going to be fun."

Third person pov:

Instructions come for Thea to meet Silas at a warehouse on the outskirts of Venice. How he knows where she's at, even shocks me. And I worked with utter sociopaths in the Brotherhood. Including Victor. I watch as these misfits rally around her , bringing a rare genuine smile to my face.

Thea knows how to plan for every contingency, even if something happens to the vehicles. There are back ups, of back ups, of back up plans. I can tell the others are frustrated but , this has saved her life on many occasions. Especially when she tangled with Erik. She thought of everything when she fought against him. It made me realize that not all normals are bad.

" Blue , better get a move on. Silas doesn't play around when demanding something. "

I step up to her and look her up and down . Looking for small details . There's a scar on her upper lip , and slightly through her left eyebrow. Her left eye is a mechanical one and it whirs and clicks as it focuses on me.

Slowly my scales ripple up and I slowly start to become her.
" oh my word."
I turn to look at Hobbs and smile at him.
" What's wrong handsome, can't tell us apart?"
He looks back and forth between Thea and I . Having a hard time distinguishing which is which. I smile and flash my eyes at him.

" Don't worry Hobbs . The best way to tell who's the real Thea is simply look for her ring on her left hand." He looks and notices that that small detail.
" I can pull off a lot of things but jewelry isn't one of them."

I sashay out of the ware house and to the meeting place.
But as I get to the door I hear him say " my word she even sound alike you!"

Thea replies
" that's Mystique. You have no idea how many times she got me in trouble when I went under cover."

Did I ever!
