Hell Sibling (MacGyver FF) HS1 UNDER REVISION

Part 8-Caged

(MacGyver POV)

"Well, well, well. How does it feel for the Firebirds to finally be caged?"

Matty stared Sofia down with a satisfied grin on her face. 

MacGyver watched his sister growl behind the glass like some sort of zoo animal. The rest of the Firebird were lined behind her, ready to jump at any sudden movements. 

"Come a little closer and maybe I'll show you." She snarled. 

Matty disregarded Sofia's threat completely "But it does make me wonder, why bring them here when there's no revenge to be had? Your brother that you seem to care so much about could have been hurt." 

MacGyver shrank back a bit at her question. He still refused to accept the fact that they were in anyway family. 

Sofia's hardened expression never faltered, and her eyes zeroed in on MacGyver's face. "He has made it very clear that he wants nothing to do with me. Why should I care what happens to him?" She answered.

Riley tilted her head "You spent a year and a half trying to kill us in order to avenge him." 

 Sofia went silent for a few moments, and MacGyver saw pain register in her eyes "That was before I realized that we are not the only ones who's hearts the world turned to ice." 

 Again, the rush of guilt come flooding back to him, but never the less he pushed it aside, he would deal with Sofia's words later. 

Matty again addressed Sofia and her comrades. "Whether you like it or not, you all are going some quality time in our holding rooms for questioning." 

 "We're not going anywhere with you." one of Sofia's friends spat. 

Sofia shot the girl a look "That's enough Firefly." 

The girl, Firefly, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then thought better if it.

Her steely gray eyes flashed as she growled in frustration at Sofia who was surprisingly calm. He could only wonder what sort of plan she was formulating in her head this time.

(Sofia POV)

Sofia forced herself to remain as calm as possible. In order to get out of this situation as well as this building in one piece, then she needed to play by their rules for just a little bit longer. 

Sofia straightened from the attack crouch she had been in and crossed her arms. "Fine. That place has grown on me anyway." 

 Behind her she could hear the shocked breaths of the Firebird at her surrender. Adria whipped her head towards Sofia, her wild red hair falling over her face as she did so "Boss what are you doing?" 

Sofia turned towards the fiery assassin and spoke in a low tone that no one could overhear. "Trying to break out of here by force is suicide. There's no way we'll make it. We have to play their game a little bit longer so we can learn to read their hand." 

 Adria tensed at her answer "I don't like it...but it does make sense."

There was another click as the doors unlocked and six guards stepped forward, each grabbing one of the assassins. 

Sofia flicked her hand once as a sign for the Firebird to relax and said a silent prayer that she would be able to find someway to get them out of this before they were locked up for good.

(MacGyver POV)

After things cleared out, the Firebird placed in holding for questioning, and everyone managed to calm down, Mac decided that he needed a distraction. 

He walked down the open halls, his mind racing. He wondered about the identities of the Firebird, who they were before Sofia had found them. Had she known them for a long time? Or had she simply come across them in her line of work? 

As much as he didn't want to, he wondered about Sofia too. What she had been like before Murdoc got his hands on her. Would he have liked her? Could they maybe have even be friends? 

He turned a corner and opened the doors to the lab, not wanting to think about Sofia and her Assassin's Only Club any longer.

"So when were you going to tell me about your sadistic sister?" Bozer pressed, stepping around his drying masks. 

MacGyver sighed "Can we please, talk about something else?" He asked. 

Bozer rolled his eyes "C'mon Mac! I find out you have a secret sister and you want to change the subject?" 

 "Yes." MacGyver answered "It was a secret to me too. I had no idea about her either." 

Bozer shook his head "At least tell me something! What's she like?" 

 MacGyver shuddered "She's an absolute monstrosity to be honest with you."

"Have you asked her about your dad?" Bozer asked him.

 MacGyver shook his head "No, but not that she'd know anything. Cage actually spoke to her about it. She said that my dad left their family when she was very young. I don't think she would be of any help." 

Bozer shrugged "I'm just saying man, you never know." 

 "Alright, Alright, Now can we please change the subject away from my family matters?" 

 Bozer laughed "Sure. Whatever you need Mac."
