The Algebandits (XFOHV spy AU)

Chapter 2: The arrival

The clock strikes midnight, the Algebandits arrive at Two's home and they stick to the side of the house, making sure no windows could reveal their hiding place. They all converse in hushed whispers, not enough to be caught but loud enough for the gang to hear.

"So how are we gonna get up to the chimney, miss genius?" Fifteen said snarkily.

"We can try to climb up? I don't know what you want me to tell you.." Six and Fifteen stare at each other for a whole four seconds, then blink in unison in awkward silence before Eight breaks the silence right after.

"I finished touching up the grappling hook, I can just grapple up to the top-" "Great!" Four interrupts him, Eight continues. "But there's 7 of us, too much weight for the grappling hook to do us all at the same time."

Nine nods along, "So we have to make at least 3 trips?" "Exactly.." Eight confirms. Fourteen grins an evil smile, "Or I can eat all of your skin to take the weight off and we can fly smoothly."

Everyone takes one step back away from Fourteen. "Too much?" They all nod.

Eight pulls out the grappling hook. "C'mon, which two are coming with me?" Four steps forward with X in hand. "We'll go first." They both hold onto Eight, who looks at the others before soaring to the roof. "Once we get up, I'll drop the grappling hook back down and two more pairs can come up." And as Eight says that, he pulls the trigger and flies up to the chimney.

Nine confidently puts his hands on his hips. "Seems easy enou- OW!" Eight dropped the grappling hook directly on top of Nine's head. Nine turns around and looks up, he sees Eight peeking down from the rooftop and shouts up, "Nice aim, bud!!" "Sorry!" Eight shouts back. Nine sighs and mouths "Whatever..."

"Grab on, Six." Nine gestures his head in the direction towards himself and the grappling gun in his left hand, aiming for the chimney. Six holds onto Nine, as Nine wraps his arm around Six's waist, making sure she's snug. Six glares at Nine. "Watch it, dumb- AAH-" Before Six can finish her sentence, Nine pulls the trigger and shoots off, which gave Six an unexpected surprise.

Fifteen had watch them all soar up, catching the grappling gun Nine dropped before realization slowly hits her.

"If it's me and one more person, that means I have to fly up with..."

Fifteen turns around to see Fourteen leaning on the side of the house with a smirk. "Hey princess~" Fifteen sighs, "Kill me..."

"Whaaaaat? It'll be fun!" He says as he snatches the grappling hook from Fifteen. "....YOINK-" He grabs Fifteen by the waist, with a good grip. "Calm down, sugar. I don't bite~" His smirk now shows his teeth, the gold one almost glowing in the moonlight. He pulls the trigger and once they're all on the roof, they go down the chimney one by one and now the heist can begin..
