Henry POV

You, Diego, and Ethan climbed into the old grey van. You hadn't used this in a while, but your current hideout was too far away from the castle to walk, so you would be driving this old thing.

You kicked Diego out of the drivers seat and then started driving towards the castle.

This was your plan.

You would tell y/n that she was on the wrong side. You would give her actual facts to prove it. Some of them wouldn't be true, but it didn't matter. If she didn't listen and come with you, you would just take her with force.

No one knew you were coming this time, so it should be pretty smooth sailing.

Go in, get her, get out. Piece of cake.

After about a thirty minute drive, you arrived at the castle. Diego and Ethan would be staying outside as lookouts and a quick getaway option while you would be the one going inside and getting y/n.

You got out of the car, while Diego and Ethan just chilled inside. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw them pull out a box of cards and rolled your eyes.

If this mission fails and the elders find out, they are the ones who will be talking to them.

It was night time now, and everything around was pitch black. The moon was your only source of light and it was mostly covered by clouds. You couldn't use a flashlight or you would risk giving your position up to the castle's guards.

Right now you were on the western side of the castle. You knew this was where they didn't have any guards positioned. You didn't understand why, but you didn't really care because it helped you.

You tapped your gloves twice and then did the same thing to your boots. They were special ones manufactured in District 9 that would help you be able to scale up the wall.

Nervously you tried it out, by placing your hand on the wall. Surprisingly, it stuck to the wall. You put your foot on next and then just hung in the air, shocked.

Fuck, how do I unstick?

You frantically pulled at the wall but you were really stuck.

You tried to call Diego, who was a tech genius over, but he was too invested in the card game with Ethan to even notice.

Great, I got to figure this out myself.

You had activated the stickiness by clicking the gloves and boots twice. Maybe you could deactivate it by clicking it once.

You tried it, and thankfully it worked. Not so thankfully, you fell off the wall, because you were only being supported by one leg.

You placed your other leg on the wall and pulled yourself up by placing your hands on the wall as well. You began moving upwards by tapping, unsticking, and then sticking again. It was a slow process, but it was pretty cool.

"Almost there," you panted to yourself as you saw the window you were going towards.

You reached the window and pushed on it, trying to open it. When it didn't open, you used a trick you'd learned a long time ago.

All the windows in the castle were built the same way. You traced your fingers along the edge of the glass, until you felt a small hole in between it and the frame. You gently pushed, and it quietly gave way. You managed to place the sheet of glass on the floor below the window, making only a small sound, before pushing yourself inside.

You looked at your surroundings. You were in an old, circular room that hadn't been used in a while. From the looks of it, you were standing in one of the castle's spires.
