"I was told, that I have failed and that I can't work in field anymore." Sophie was sitting with Merlin in planes cockpit.

"Yes, I know. But right now, your steady hand is needed." Merlin said, his eyes trained somewhere in front of him.

"So, you expect me to just go there and shoot at people?" Sophie shrugged not understanding.

"You're saying it as if you have never done it." Merlin answered putting plane on autopilot and getting up.

"And what if I don't do it?" Sophie said behind him.

"You just want to walk away?" Merlin asked turning to her. Sophie had gut feeling that she knew what he's about to say next.

"Is that what your father would do? Or Harry?" Merlin asked looking directly at Sophie now. So he's playing that card. Alright.

But there he got a point. With small pout of own disappointment and pang of pain, Sophie bit her nails and looked away from Merlin, looking through the windshield and passing clouds.

"What the fuck is this?" Eggsy was sitting down and holding a piece of equipment.

"I have no idea." Roxy answered looking at the yellow contraption.

"What you're playing with is a prototype personal transatmospheric vehicle. It was developed as part of Reagan's Star Wars project. It's pretty basic, but it should still work." Merlin said looking at Eggsy and Roxy. Sophie now standing behind him.

"We're gonna take out one of Valentine's satellites. We're gonna break the chain, stop the signal. It'll take him a couple of hours to reroute it... which buys us enough time for you to get me into Valentine's mainframe so I can shut it down. Lancelot, you're going to be using it. Get into your halo suit." Merlin explained and ordered.

For some time, Sophie was listening to Merlin and Eggsy discussing things about those implants until it was time for Roxy to go up.

Giving her a brief hug Sophie left Eggsy talk with Roxy for a second. Still standing on the stairs of the jet, she looked at them as Eggsy assured agent.

"Eggsy, come on. Time is not our friend." Sophie and Eggsy heard Merlin calling.

"Good luck, Lancelot!" Sophie called to Roxy last time.

"Come on, Unwin." Sophie called him and turned to walk back in plane before she freezes to death.

"You're getting in on Arthur's invitation. You're gonna need to blend in." Merlin said once all three of them were back on plane.

"I'm supposed to be Arthur?" Eggsy asked.

"His invitation is in his phone. You give them this. Give his real name, Chester King." Merlin explained handing the phone to Eggsy.

"What about you?" Eggsy looked at Merlin then back at Sophie.

"I'm your pilot. I'm gonna stay here." Merlin explained.

"If he's pilot and staying here then I'll be stewardess." Sophie explained.

"No, you're not." Merlin said not missing a beat. Sophie stared daggers at him.

"You're going as Arthur's plus one." Merlin explained further.

"Plus one?" Sophie and Eggsy asked at the same time. Merlin didn't explain and just handed suit to Eggsy.

"Is that gonna fit me?" Eggsy asked. Sophie wanted to roll her eyes at his comment. She made it, of course it's going to fit him. Before she could say that, Merlin beat her to it:

"A bespoke suit always fits. Just be grateful Harry had it made for you. Get dressed. Both of you." Merlin said and pointed for Sophie to go to the private room, where there were clothes for her.
