Me and Five schlepped downstairs to afternoon training, our hands intertwined, ignoring the eyes following us. Five and I sat down and waited for the others to arrive. Allison and Klaus barely batted an eyelid at us but the others stared at us in confusion.
"Today, we're going to be practicing undercover work. " Mom announced over our noise, "Allison, Diego and Luther. Klaus, Ben, Five and Vanya. You're going to be going out to a mall and you are going to practice being undercover. 4, 5, 6, 7 I'll be monitoring you first. You will have an allowance of $25 to buy an undercover outfit. Then you will be given a target and you have to create a factfile on them and follow them."

Immediatly after arriving, I rushed to a H&M. Quickly I searched for a large grey jumper, black leggings and dark green hat. At the last minute I bought a pair of lace up wedge-heel boots and some velvet scrunchies, normal hairbands and a pair of fake glasses. I had noticed that there were some girls wearing similar things inside. To be honest, I didn't need the glasses, I just thought they were cool. It came to $22.50, handing them the cash I raced to change in a toilet cubicle. I tied my hair into a low ponytail under the bottom rim of my hat. Pulling the large jumper over my bra and stepping into the leggings. I prepared to leave while tying up my boots and putting one of the scrunchies on my wrist. Mom was sat on a bench with some backs with different selections of bags, I sat near her with Five and noticed Ben and Klaus gesturing with their eyes towards two women about 20 years old. Glancing at Mom, I bought a take away cup of coffee. I wathed them through my bangs over the coffee. Slowly, they got up and began to leave. Grabbing Five's hand, I subtly dropped the bags my Mom and we walked a couple metres behind of them. Ben and Klaus were already heading for the shop they were on their way to. I drank my coffee and listened to their conversation. While Five noted about their physical tendencies in his head. One of the women's eyes began to travel to me, so I grabbed Five's face and passionatly kissed him, after a shocked second, Five kissed me back then wrapped his arm around me and we strolled out of the shop into another.
"Sorry I saw them looking at us, and I didn't want them to catch onto us." I excused my out of character behavior.
"Very good instincts, you should do that more often. Like all the time" He laughed back causing me to blush furiously. He grabbed my hand again and we walked out but we were behind a group of people: studying them from a further distance. A hand yanked me backwards by my hood, I held in a yelp as I didn't want to alert them to us. Dragging Five with me, I hit the person furiously. Realising it was Klaus, I held my hand over my mouth. And mumbled a quick apology.
"What the hell did I just see?" He whisper yelled. I glanced at Five,
"What do you mean?" I replied with an exhasperated sigh, evidently avoiding eye contact with them both.
"Vanya, Five you just fucking randomly made out in the middle of a mission... you're telling me that's nothing?" He shouted again, not bothering to be conspicous.
"It's not important right now, and you just probably blew our mission." Five replied with a snarl.
"It is important..." I whispered, to which Five inclined his head to me. "This will be weird and we need to talk about it." He nodded in response at then we walked off back to our mission but saw Mom beckoning us over from a bench.
"Vanya you showed good initiative but I will have to mark down points for Klaus and Ben's disruption. You have to learn to improvise and follow eachother's lead." She said with her signature loving smile. I begged her with my eyes not to tell father. "I will tell your father how you solved the situation Vanya. I'm sure he'll be very proud."
I was screwed. As we all walked back to the car, she whispered to me:
"Don't worry Vanya, I won't tell him exactly how you improvised."
Suprising her with a tight hug, I mumbled into her dress.
"Thank you Mom, for everything"
She smiled back and patted my hand. I followed her to the car, where she gave Hargeeves her notes and what we had reported back. Then ushered us into the car with him. The others went to complete their undercover assignment. He kept looking back at me, anxiety evident in his eyes. He ordered Ben, Five and Klaus to go to lessons with Pogo, they still had their bags in hand.
"Vanya, please follow me." He led me down a dark hallway to a room I'd never seen before. "You haven't been taking your medication and you stole my property. This is unnaceptable, as you have continued this insolent behavior you shall have to be removed. You are a danger to yourself and everyone around you." Before I could recognise what was happening he had injected me in the arm and put me down onto a small metal bed. My vision faded at the edges but all I could see was the door close and leave me to the deafening silence.

I shot up with urgency. Where was I? Memories that had been repressed appeared again and tears poured down my face to accompany my silent scream and cries. Banging my fist on the small window I yelled for Five and Mom even though I knew they couldn't hear me and wouldn't save me. Screaming myself into exhaustion, I collapsed on the stone floor. Singing a small tune to myself, I rocked back and forth. Hours of isolation went by when I saw her.
"MOM! MOM PLEASE HELP ME" I pleaded but I knew she couldn't do anything about it. She was programmed to serve our Father first and be our mother second. An impossible flash of emotion sliced across her pristine face when she saw my desperacy and tear stained face. She prised open a floor tile and slid the tray under into the room. It barely fit but in the small time it took her to squeeze it through I managed to speak to her.
"Mom please, please let me out" I couldn't scream anymore, I couldn't shout I was too tired.
"I can't you know this. I'm sorry Vanya"
"Mom, will you stay with me?" my voice quivered as I asked.
"As long as I can" She soothed back, crouching at the floor tile.
" I love you Mom..." I whispered to her as I lay near enough to see an inch of her face. "Please find a way to get me out. I just want to be part of the team, I can help you saw today. Please"
"Ssh Vanya, go to sleep." After a brief pause as if she was fighting against the programming in her head. "I- I love you too"
Who knew a robot could stutter?
