The Few

Graduation

It had gone so fast, within 2 weeks everything had been stepped up and the assessments had got harder and harder. It was coming to the point that their assessments would be over and they would meet with people within the sects they would be working in. Abi had already met most of the people that she would be working with on a regular basis. Knowing that she had already got her code name and phone had made the other recruits look at her with some sceptasisum. Why she was given such advantages so quick. All four of the new recruits got a letters from the Boss telling them to meet the people who were running their assessments in a room on a higher floor. The four of them had gone at got breakfast together like what had become a tradition between the four. Max had already gained muscle mass over the two weeks. He was enjoying ever aspect of his assessment no mater how hard it was and sometimes he came in bleeding from fighting. Rue had learnt loads about different forms of communications and how to work around current systems set up by the Alliance. Max and Rue had got close as well. They spent a lot of their time flirting with one and other. 

Jet had been acting strangely, he had gone into himself somewhat. He had spent his time in the studio, and after he got his phone he seemed to be texting a lot. He wouldn't tell anyone who he was texting.  No matter how many times he was asked, he wouldn't tell anyone not even Abi. When they had finished their breakfast they all gathered in the elevator and went up to the floor that was given in the letter. "What do you think is happening? Its all very hush hush." Rue said with an optimistic tremble in her voice. Jet was glued to his phone and just shrugged not paying much attention to what was being said. 

"Do you think we will be working together for the last stages of our assessment?" Max asked running his hands through his red hair. 

"Well that could be interesting." Abi said smiling locking eyes with Max. "Rue have you met King yet?" She exhaled sharply.

"I have seen him but not met him." She said coldly, "he is creepy looking I can tell why people are scared of him." 

"Have you met Joker yet?" Max asked, "apparently he works with tech a lot Abi."

"I have not yet no." She said, "thank god I don't know what I would do if I met him." She said coldly, "the thought of him scares me. Lets face it if he can put Lance and Blue in a state of panic he must be something." The door opened and they were met with the faces of Red, Blue, Lance, Queen and France stood there with a smile on each of their faces. There was a door in front of them with a line of chairs against the wall along from the door. "Blue what are you doing here?" They were told that their assessors would be there so Blue was a shock.

"I was asked." He said smiling.

"By who?" Abi asked.

"I asked him." Jet said slipping his phone into his pocket. 

"You two have not stopped texting the last week its been insane." Red said pulling Blue's phone from his hand. "Jet, I miss you xoxoxo." She joked. 

"Piss off!" Blue said snatching his phone back and putting it back into his back pocket but smiling. "This could be fun," Blue said smirking walking over to the door. "There all here Boss." 

"Max and Lance." The voice said from behind the door. 

"Come on Max time to get this done." Lance said with a smile. "Time to graduate." He said walking to the door and opened it. 

"Graduate?" Max replied.

"Come on." Lance added walking into the room and shutting the door behind as Max walked through.

"Graduating?" Abi said, "what does that mean?"

"You get your code names and wings today."  Red said, "we have given our assessments to the Boss with your levels and all we have been testing for over the last few weeks. It's a big day."

"Take a seat you three." Blue nodded to the chairs. Queen said nothing but her eyes met Jet's the whole time. Lance walked out quickly shutting the door behind with a smile. "How did it go?"

"Marvel. He's gone for the code-name Marvel and I am going to take the level 3 first liner for his wings. He is just finalizing all the details with Boss." Lance walked towards the elevator and waited for Max to come out. The door opened and he had a small file of papers and headed towards the elevator. 

"Oh Lance?" Blue said.

"Yeah?"

"Are you still in for tonight?" He asked.

"f**k yeah!"

"Ask Marvel and Briggs." Blue added.

"See you then! Good luck you three." Lance said as the door to the elevator opened and the two of them walked in. 

"France and Rue." The voice said from behind the door. The of them walked in and the door shut to silence. 

"So...Red..." Queen spoke calmly. "How are you?"

"I am fine, what about you?"

"Jack has been asking for the only other English person in this place to talk to."

"Yeah but he wants to go back, I would rather s**t in my hands and clap than ever go back to that bureaucratic hell hole."  Red said coldly. "I would rather rip my tongue out with two spoons than go back to that bleak world that is also rainy and cold and full of bull s**t. But yeah, he can hit me up for a reminisce of the old country." After a few moments the two of them walked out. "How did it go France?"

"Hardy level 3." He said smiling placing his hand kindly on Rue's shoulder and headed towards the elevator. 

"We will get the twins to text you later." Blue said smiling. "Well done Hardy." 

"Thanks." She said. "Does it hurt, getting the tattoo?"

"It's a tattoo." Queen said, "its not pleasant."She added coldly. 

"Queen and Jet." The voice from behind the door said. 

"You'll do good Jet don't worry." Blue said with a smile, "we will be here when you get out." 

The two of them walked in where there was two chairs. "Jet, please take a seat while I look over your file." He looked over the file asking questions the Queen. "So Jet," he paused. "You have been asked by the Pack to join their group have you given it any thought?"

"I have thought about it."

"Have you had any requests from other groups?"

"Yes, I have." Jet responded.

"Oh? Who?" Queen asked.

"Red and Blue's group." He said simply. "And I plan on sticking with them. They found me and I owe them a lot, and Abi is going to be working with them anyway as they are Techies and so is she so it make sense." 

"You are kidding?" Queen said. "You will get more money, influence and chances to become one of the best. And you are choosing them?"

"I am choosing my sister and my friends."

"But you said to me that the freedom of the people just due to their names?" Queen replied.

"The people who didn't judge me on my name. Blue and Red didn't care. You looked down on me until you saw my ability, and I can almost guarantee that you did that because of your four letters in your name? Am I wrong?" She exhaled simply. "I thought so," he replied. "And I have chosen my name but that is something that I need to thank you for Queen." He said, "the books you had me looked at gave me the perfect name."

"Brilliant, but lets have a look at your level." The Boss said looking through the file, "2nd level, well, well, well...."

"What is that bad?" Jet replied.

"Bad? No its far from it." Boss said smiling, "very uncommon." He added. "So what name are you thinking of?" 

"Picasso." He replied, "he's an artist."

"Perfect," he took the file and wrote on the piece of paper. "Well here is a card for your account this is where we will pay you into, and there is already $200 programmed on to buy your own clothes of your choice after you have had your wings. Queen will take you down to get your wings."

"I think Blue can do that." Queen said walking out coldly. She stopped at the door, "Second level Picasso." She said shutting the door. 

"I  apologize about her, people don't say no to her often. I think you have made the right choice however." He said with a sly smile. "Is this what you wanted?"

"I didn't know what I wanted but it is better than the other option." Jet replied. "Being here or being a conformist." 

"I understand. You can go now Picasso thank you for your fantastic start to your time here." Boss said. "Oh by the way," he held his hand out. "Knox, nice to meet you." He smiled.

"Nice to meet you too," Jet said taking his hand and smiling. "I get my wings today?"

"I will meet with your sister and you can both go. Please," he pause and gestured to the door while handing him some paper in a file.

"Thank you." He stood and walked out. 

"So?" Abi said quickly, "you're a level 2 is that good?"

"Apparently." He said smiling. She grabbed him and hugged him tight. "What is all this for?"

"I am proud of you bro." 

"I am proud of you too." A man said walking from down the corridor. It was the same dark haired man from a few days ago. 

"Caro." Jet said coldly.

"You've met?" Red asked. 

"Of cause, I know everyone." He said calmly placing his hand on his shoulder. "Been a while Blue, got over our little fight from your office the other week, I hoped that, that wouldn't have been our first meeting Miss Moss was Mr Schulz and I arguing the other night."

"Why are you here Caro?" Blue asked.

"I wanted to see Picasso here." He smirked. "How is Mona?" He then flicked his eyes sharply to Blue.

"Keep walking Joker." Blue said. 

"Ouch...does it really get to you that much? Me just saying her name? She liked it when I said her name, she liked it when I would tie her to my bed and say her name."

"Joker-" Blue was cut off.

"Then get her to beg me to f**k her."

"Caro-" Red started to get irate too.

"And she would scream and scream-" Blue lurched forward but Red jumped between the two of them. 

"Get out of here Joker." She said facing Blue. He was burning with anger, fixed on Caro. 

"Whatever you say Red." He said with a sly wink to her. "Bye bye Blue." He silently walked to the office further down. 

"Blue!" She replied he said nothing just gazed off furiously. "Blue!" Nothing, "Arro!" He exhaled.

"I'm fine." He said calmly.

"Are you?" She said, he just nodded and hugged her. "I don't like it when you get like that."

"You called me Arro at work again." He replied.

"It worked." She said smiling letting go of him from the hug. "Why don't you take Jet to go get his wings and I will go with Abi in to see Knox okay?" He just nodded, "we will see you down there okay?" He nodded again. "Please behave?" He smiled and nodded. He walked towards the elevator and waited for Jet. "Look out for him please." Jet nodded and followed him to the elevator. 

Red simply walked to the door and walked in, "sorry Boss Joker had a run in with Blue."

"Ah, is he okay?"

"He will be." Red said, "can we come in?" Red turned and gestured for Abi to come in. Red sat down in a chair and nodded for Abi to sit down next to her. "She already has her name Boss." She said.

"Solo?" He replied with a smile, "second level I can see." He smiled, "well done Miss Moss that is very impressive. You will be getting your wings today." He slid a file over to her. "I have explained this three times today Red will you explain this to her?" Red laughed and nodded. 

"Yes I will don't worry. I am sure the tattoo shop with be crammed so I am going to take her and Jet for clothing first if that's okay with you Knox?" He nodded. "Can we?" 

"Congratulations Solo." He smiled and waved them out. As they walked out the door towards the elevator. 

"Come on Solo, time to get your wings."
