"Ruse  ," Lex called, knocking on Ruse's door, " We need to suit up, the coordinators are here. " 

"Yeah , yeah, yeah,"Ruse grumbled as he opened the door. He wore no shirt and his silver hair fell into his purple eyes in a disheveled tangle. His chest was criss crossed with scars from his multiple enhancement surgeries. 

" Did you just get up," Lex asked ?

" Yeah," Ruse said with a grim smile. He turned around and headed back to his room with Lex following him.

" Do you think we're ready," Lex asked Ruse, his purple eyes following Ruse as he began putting on his training suit. 

" I don't know" Ruse said as he finished , " but I know no matter what , we will figure it out together." Lex quickly, went over the improvements in their enhancement armor  that Fenix, one of their friends had  made for them. Once they were done, they went to meet the  coordinators. 

🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡

" There you boys are," Jen declared angrily  as Ruse and Lex entered the meeting room , "  I was about to have Fenix find you." Fenix, her silver hair long in the back but short in the front,  waved from her seat absentmindedly, as she continued to look over schematics.  

" We were looking over the improvements to our armor," Ruse declared, stiffening, all of the carefree attitude he had before was erased. 

"I see," Jen declared suspiciously,as she introduced Ruse and Lex to the "coordinators", Michael and Seena.

" Honor to meet you," Ruse said as he shook each of their hands, " I hope you would be able to tell us what our purpose is. We were told nothing. " 

" Getting to the point I see. Well,  we need you kids to infiltrate the Illumanati," Michael said . 

" What! The Illumanati," Fenix spat as she looked up from her tablet, " You are going to expect me to believe that? " 

" Yes, " Seena said with a sharp glance at Fenix, " We have long ago suspected that the Illumanati was real and working to control the governments of the world but unfortunately we never had proof." 

" Until now, " Michael said as he slid the kids a folder marked confidential.

" I see," Ruse said his eyebrow raising higher and higher as he read the contents of the file, " You want us to infiltrate the Illumanati?" 

" Yes," Seena commented. 

"Well, " Ruse said without hesitation, " I'm in." 

" Me too, "  Lex said.

"But guys this is the Illumanati," Fenix said with exasperation ," They don't exist." 

" Well, if you are so hanged up on the name,  think of them as terriost," Lex chimed, " That used the name Illumanati to strike fear in their enemies." 

" I guess I can deal with that," Fenix shrugged.

" Well , we will provide everything you'll need," Michael said as he stood up, "  money, passports,   alias, and weapons of course. " 

" You don't need to give us weapons," Fenix said as she stood up, her  purple eyes never leaving the tablet screen. 

" Yeah we have a saying here... You don't need a weapon, when you're born one," Ruse said as he went to the door, " We'll be  ready in a week. See you then."  

"See you then," Seena and Michael  said as they left.
