Rogue Squad

When Were You Going To Tell Us?

"So where did you guys come from anyway?" I ask Leo and Greyson as I munch on my toast in the common kitchen.

Leo glances at Greyson. Greyson rolls his eyes at him and says, "We've just been traveling around and decided we needed to find a place to settle in. I heard that this group took in rogues so we chose to come here first."

"Nomads, huh?" I say and rest my chin on my hand, "Sounds fun. I've lived here my whole life so I haven't had the chance to travel much."

"It's nothing special. I would rather have a place to call my own." Greyson adds.

I smile and say, "Well now you have somewhere to call your own. You are officially the newest members of our pack."

"Heck yeah we are!" Leo states happily with a giant grin plastered on his face.

His free spirit causes me to laugh. His aura is soothing to be around. I like these guys already.

"Lucia? Is that you?" I hear a familiar voice ask from the entrance of the kitchen.

I glance up. Standing in the doorway are Raymond and Ruben. I smile happily and wave them over.

"Hey dumb asses, come meet your new team members!" I shout.

They roll their eyes but listen to me anyway. As they get closer to us Greyson gives me an odd look.

"New team members?" He whispers to me.

I raise my finger to my chin and ponder for a moment. Now that I think about it, I don't believe that I mentioned the fact that they are going to be part of our squad. Oops.

"Uh... yeah. About that, I forgot to mention one tiny thing." I say with an apologetic grin.

"What is it..." He says annoyed.

"Well... In order for you guys to stay here..." I glance down and quickly add, "you have to help out my squad."

"Your squad?" Leo asks concerned.

I smile, look up at him and nod, "Yup." I motion toward Raymond and Ruben who just arrived at the table and are standing behind me, "These two nitwits are on the team as well."

"Lucia you would think you could at least introduce us properly before making fun of us." Ruben says annoyed and glares at me.

I laugh and say, "Yeah yeah." I motion toward the short haired twin and say, "This is Ruben. He is the brute, all muscle no brains."

"Hey!" Ruben shouts annoyed.

I ignore him and motion toward the long haired twin and say, "This is Raymond. He may look sweet but he is a ruthless animal, don't get in his way."

Raymond elbows his brother and whispers, "Told you I was the cooler brother."

Ruben frowns angrily. I sigh and whack both of them on the back of their heads. They screech and hold the spot where I just hit them and glare at me.

"You guys seriously can't stop arguing for ten seconds while I introduce you?" I sigh and touch my fingers to my forehead, "I just don't know what to do with you idiots."

"Idiots? Raymond is the stupid one!" Ruben shouts.

"Are you kidding me man? She even introduced you as the idiot brute. Clearly she knows who the smart one is." Raymond retaliates.

Okay, now they are starting to get irritating. I turn around and cross my arms over my chest. Glaring at both the boys, they suddenly stop their arguing and look down at me. I can see the fear creeping over their faces as they can tell I am angry. Slowly they take a step back.
