"W-what...? Be friends with you...?!?" Cara laughs a little then looks at this serious face and rethinks his question then puts her head down. "I want to help. I won't screw you over I'll make sure your safe. I'm not human... I'm a NightMare, we don't live for long so we have no reason to lie." Storm gives her an adorable smile and she accepts his offer. "Fine, BUT! I'm only doing this because the squad needs members who cooperate wth each other." Cara gets up and gets ready to climb down the ladder. "Wait!" Storm grabs her phone and puts his number and everyone from their squad in her contacts. "What the hell!" Cara snatches it out of his hand. "Call us!" Storm waves her goodbye as she climbs down.
~The Next Morning(7am)~
Cara is awaken by a cute beep form her phone. "What the... crap..." Cara grabs her phone and checks the message.
{Arika: Hey everyone from the newly formed squad of idiots! You all will be required to attend the every first meeting of our squad! It will be taking place at 8am! We will all meet at meeting 8. If you do not attend I will have to punish you!!!
/>•</ P.s. you don't want that}
Cara gets up and sighs. She walks over to Haven's bed and starts shaking her. "Wake the hell up and check your freaking phone!!!" Cara gives up on Haven and starts getting dressed.
Eventually Haven wakes up and Cara pushes her out the door. "Wait! I did't hock my bra!!!" Haven scrambles in her shirt to hock it.
They make it down to meeting room 8 in time. Cara bursted through the door. "...W-We're here...!" Cara says out of breathe. "Great. Now we just need Skia to show up..."Arika taps her foot in frustration.
~10 Minutes Later~
Skia finally arrives with a cupcake in her hand. "What the fuck you little twat!!!" Arika snapped at her and slammed her hands on the desk. Skia ignored her and just sat down. "So why were you late!?!" Arika was furious, everyone else just kinda acted like it was normal but Cara was a little confused. "I stoped for a cupcake." Skia bits into her cupcake.
"Little bitch..." Arika mumbles under her breath. "Alright! Welcome to the first meeting of the squad of idiots! "That's not really the name, right?" Storm flares his eyebrow at her. "That is to be decided later. Anyways! There are many things we need to address, and before you ask, no, I am not the squad leader. I've just been on a few squads and managed some so I know what's the deal with all this. That's why the boss asked me to hold this meeting." Arika shuffles through papers so find the role list.
"So then who the lucky person to lead us?" Cara folded her arms. "It's you." Arika winks at Cara. "Wait!?! What!?! Why me?!?" Cara stood up in confusion. "Don't worry, I'll answer everyone's questions and concerns later. For now just listen to your roles." Arika clears her throat.
"Cara, the Leader. Storm, the Co-Leader. Haven, the Warrior.
Kai, the Muscle. Miki, the Distraction. Aden, the Brains. Skia, the Healer. And me, the Spy." Arika folds up her papers and sits down.
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Co-Leader?!? Why me?!?" Storm's eyes widen in confusion. "Again, we'll talk about this later." Arika lights a cigarette. "I think being the muscle is pretty cool!!!" Kai says in excitement. "Yea I'm not complaining about being the warrior." Haven shrugs.
The rest of them just nod in agreement about there role. "Don't worry no one is expecting anyone to live up to their roles. They don't matter that much. Well except for Cara and Storm, the boss also said that depending on the mission Haven can be Co-Leader, so roles can be changed during a fight if needed. I highly doubt anyone is even going to remember their roles so in my opinion they don't matter." Arika leans back in her chair.
"All we need now is a name, give me some ideas." Arika Stands up and walks to the white board. "Fiery Squad!" Kai blurts out, Haven slaps him for his stupidity.
"I think we should go with OctoBlades." Haven's suggestion is put down quicker then Kai's. "Lost Squad." Skia says with such a calm and yet unsettling tone. Her suggestion gets up on the board. "C'mon you idiots, think!" Arika stresses out. "Boltz." Aden twirls his pen. "Ugh!!" Arika slams her hands on the board."
After 20 minutes 8 descent name ideas are on the board. "Cry Squad, Kill Squad, Death Squad, Chill Squad, Lost Squad, Dark Squad, Night Squad, and Fear Squad are the names I believe to be descent. To avoid arguments we will take a vote." Arika picks up a colorful white board marker.
"Alright Cry squad got 5, Kill Squad got 4, Death Squad got 6, Chill Squad got 2, Lost Squad got 1, Dark Squad got 7, Night Squad got 8, and Fear Squad got 8 as well..." Arika bits her bottom lips.
"So it's either Night Squad or Fear Squad..." Haven taps her pen on the table in frustration. Cara stands up. "I believe we should choose Fear Squad because we want all our enemies to fear us and the society. If it isn't chosen, I'll just take back my vote for Night Squad." Cara sits back down. "Well then, that's decided." Arika sits down and leans her head back.
"You act the exact same as back in the day." Storm leans back in his chair. "Yep. I haven't changed a bit." Arika puts down the cigarette. "What do you mean?" Cara had a confused look on her face. "Oh that's right you don't know that much about our pasts. Welp we can disguise everyone's past later but sense you seem curious about me I'll explain."Arika sat up straight in her chair.
"Here we go..." Skia rolled her eyes. "Shush! My mother became pregnant with me while she was living here so I was born and raised here." Arika picked up her cigarette.
"Wait I didn't know there are babies and families here?!" Cara stood up confused. "Yep, if your born here you stay here. We of course allow families to stay together if they have young children. Kids under the age of 8 can stay here for free now as well, it's pretty cool." Arika sits back in her chair.
"I didn't know that... I guess there's still a lot I don't know..." Cara shrugs. "Theres a lot we all don't know." Skia gets up and walks out of the room after making her statement. "Ugh, so dramatic." Arika rolls her eyes.
"So you and storm where both born here? Is that how you know each other?" Cara asks. "Yep. He's annoying so I don't talk to him as much but I guess you could call us child hood friends." Arika gets up and dismisses the meeting.
