It's been two days since our encounter with the brats, and let's just say that everyone in our little pack is out for blood. I smile at the thought and continue flipping my knife and catching it.

Daisy's weak form flashes through my head; after that attack she spent a day in bed rest. Her mom put her in the hospital room (the room we use to heal after we get beat up) and hasn't let her leave yet. Anger boils up in side of me.

THUMP!

My knife flies from my hand to the wall. I look up and smile the family smile; my knife has pinned a goon to the wall.

"What are you lookin' at!!" I yell at him. He quickly runs away ripping part of his shirt. My laugh follows after him. What? Gotta keep the fear pumpin'.

"What are you doing sis?" I look behind me where Jynx is leaning against the door frame of our "living room".

I sigh and flop onto my back, "Threatening stooges." I shrug with a smile, "What else is new?"

She sighs, "Annie?"

I roll my eyes, "It's the brats." I mutter. "Still mad 'bout Daisy."

She slumps onto the bed next to me, "Your mad?" She looks away, "It's my job to watch her back.... I failed."

"No ya didn't." She looks at me, "Despite popular belief we have hearts, " she smiles, "not very big ones, but hearts." She starts laughing, "Our hearts are just big enough for a family. That's me, you, Alex, and Daisy; it's all our jobs to look after each other." I say looking back at the ceiling.

"How 'bout we just make the mini league bleed and stop passing the blame?" She asks.

I smirk, "Sounds good to me." Jynx smirks back, "C'mon," I say getting up.

"Where we going?" my sister questions, following my movements nonetheless.

I turn and flash my insane smile at her, "To get Alex of course." I crawl out the window but poke my head back inside, "How else are we going to find the baby heroes?"

She smiles back at me, "I like the way you think."

And with that we are flipping across rooftops to get Alex and follow the tracker to find the brats clubhouse.

***Time skip brought to you by.... Well my hands, that are typing this whole thing......Shut up and keep reading

I bust through Alex's window. Despite my fast entry (not to mention my heels) I land silently on my feet. I glance around the messy room and roll my eyes, Alex is such a boy. I glance at the bed, my cheshire smile growing, he's asleep.
I turn around and smirk at Jynx, she rolls her eyes but smiles anyway,

"Here." she hands me the duct tape.
I take it and pull the tape; the sound is strangely satisfying.

"This is gonna be a lot of fun."

Welp, 30 minutes later and Alex is still asleep. True, he's duct taped to the wall, but he's asleep. I smile at Jynx, she shakes her head.

"To be honest I didn't think this would work." she says with a huge smile.

I place a hand on her shoulder, "Never doubt me." She full out laughs and I can't help but join in. What can I say? Laughter runs in the family.Sadly we must have laughed a little too loud cause,

"What....what the," Alex blinks his eyes a few times, then seems to do a double take, "WHAT THE HECK?!?!" his head snaps up towards us. "Get me down!" He demands, that causes us to laugh even harder.

Jynx and I collapse onto the floor guffawing. I slowly stand up when Alex starts glaring at us; I wipe a fake tear from my eye.

"Sorry." I say smiling, "It's just you were asleep and we had duct tape. Soooo," I shrug.
