The Few

Mona

"So Joker is Caro then?" Abi asked as the elevator rode up floors.

"Yep." Red said taking her phone out and dialing. She placed the phone to her ear, "Kleidung vor den Flügeln?" She paused and nodded. "You feeling okay?" She took a deep breath, "I will see you soon bye," she then hung up the phone. "Blue and Jet will meet us to get clothes and then we will go get your wings." She said slipping her phone in her pocket. "Oh Blue is having a party tonight, to celebrate the four of you graduating, you know because you can't actually graduated."

"Oh really?" Abi asked.

"Yeah, he has been texting Jet a lot, they have developed quite a friendship. Lance will be there, he is bring Briggs. I have asked my friend Black Diamond to be there. I think he asked French to come but he would have more than likely turned it down."

"Will Mona be there?" Abi asked cheekily.

"Blue's wife? Yeah I would think so, they do live together and it will be at his apartment." She said. "She maybe working later I don't know if she will be there straight away, Brigg's wife is working I know that so she wont be there." 

"So does getting your wings hurt?"

"If you don't have any it wont be fun, but my wings were not my first tattoo." She replied. 

"How many do you have?"

"Can't remember, lost count a while ago." She smirked. The door pulled opened and Red quickly matched out. "Come on Solo, time to get some clothes you actually like." She said smiling.  Blue and Jet were stood outside a large almost mall like shop. 

"How did it go?" Jet asked. 

"Second level like you." She said beaming. "I am sticking with Solo." She said laughing, "lets go clothes shopping!" She said running into the shop card in hand. 

After a about an hour they two left with a few bags of clothes. Red had one in her hands and Blue had nothing. "Ready for the fun bit?" Blue said. "Oh have you asked Abi?"

"Yes I have don't worry have you asked Jet?" Red replied smiling. 

"Yep I have. But I have a feeling me may get a stray tonight." He said.

"Oh?"

"Black Diamond is working with Daffodil and she over heard the invite." Blue said.

"f**k that." Red said walking down the corridor quicker now trying to get to the tattoo studio. It was a large open tattoo studio. "Ready?" She said nodding into the room. "Two for their wings!" She yelled at the lady behind the desk. 

"Will you calm down." Blue said laughing, "I know you love tattoo's and this is exciting for you." The lady who was more covered in tattoos than Red. 

"Which first?" She said with a strong Bostonian ascent. "The guy?" Jet nodded and stepped forward as Max had just stepped out from behind with his neck bandaged from the tattoo. 

"Hey Max how did that go?" Jet asked.

"Better than I though. You get to chose what kind of wings you want, not like there is much choice." He said smiling tilting his head slightly to show off the red skin that was flashed under the bandage. "You up first?" He asked Jet.

"It would seem."

"It's not that bad. Rue was a pile of nerves before hand but the moment the needle was in her skin she calmed down." He said smiling. "Anyway Lance told us about the party tonight at Blue's shall we all go up together?" Jet and Abi just nodded. "Okay meet you back in the halls. Its moving day tomorrow as well I can't wait!"

"Moving day?" Abi asked.

"Well you can't stay in the recruitment halls anymore your not recruits." Blue said smiling. "Go on Picasso we haven't got all day go get inked."

It was painful. A tattoo at the side of your neck that had been operated on only 2 weeks ago was painful. But yes after the first few lines it was manageable, Abi sat in the chair straight after Rue came out and with some encouragement from Jet she was fine with the tattoo on her neck. When they were done and wrapped up Blue and Red walked them back to the elevator. "I will text you my floor and apartment number and a time for you four to come up. Is that okay?"

"Yeah." They both said together. "Twin thing," They both said smirking at one another. 

"See you later both of you." Blue said smiling and walked down the corridor away from the elevator. 

"See you both tonight." Red said following slowly behind him. 

Abi and Jet went down in the elevator towards the recruitment halls. They spent the rest of the say talking with Max and Rue, when Jet got a text with a floor, room number and time, 8pm. So, at 6pm Rue and Abi went to go put make up on and start getting themselves ready. Within half an hour of heading out the two young men decided to do the same. At just before 8pm the four of them met outside of the doors of the elevators. The four of them road up to a much higher floor. "What do you think Blue's wife is like?" Rue asked.

"I imagine she is like him, rebellious but mild mannered until you get her riled up." Abi asked.

"Oh you two missed that today, we met Joker and Blue and him almost got into a fight." Jet asked. "Well it turns out both Abi and I have met him before." 

"He seems like a psychopath." Abi added, "he was just doing everything to get to Blue." The doors slid open and they came out on one of the domestic floors. These apartments were just the high leveled members of the Few. They walked down the corridor until they came to door number 16. It was like a corridor in a hotel but the spaces between the doors were much bigger. Jet reached out and knocked on the door. There was a shuffling noise from behind the door.

Red was behind the door when it was opened. "Hello all, come in." She says holding the door open as all four of them walked in. When they walked in there was a large black sofa in the center of the room with a large dark wood coffee table in the center. Off from the side of the sofa was a large plush deep purple armchair. There was a television sat in front of the sofa and behind it was a large full length window that led out to a balcony. Behind the sofa was a step up to a large four poster bed adorned with beautiful black satin sheets and plump pillows. Each side had immaculately black bed side tables and next to them were chest of draws in exactly the same color and wood. As they walked in they were met by a large dark black dinning table and matching chairs. The table was set with black and silver plates and a large candelabra in the middle, behind it was a dresser adorned with a huge silver filigree mirror. Off to the far side of the room was two doors, one was open with a light on and there was clanking and banging coming from there. Sat on the sofa was a woman. Long white blonde hair and very heavy black make up. She had electric blue eyes that met them the moment they walked in. She had a short black dress on with suspenders on keeping up a pair of black holdup pantie hoes. She stood when she saw them walk in. "Black Diamond this is, Jet known as Picasso, Abi known as Solo, Max or Marvel and finally Rue known as Hardy."

"I spoke to Solo when I was out on a job the other day she sent me a location. Nice to put a face to the name." She said smiling kindly. Her phone buzzed. "oh damn its Cap, give me a second." She stepped out onto the baloney and Red followed for a moment.

"Mona's hot." Max said.

"That's Mona?" Abi asked.

"Well duh!" Rue said as Red walked back in. 

"Does anyone want a drink?" Red asked, "beer, wine, vodka and Lance will be bringing some whiskey when he gets here." She said turning to the table and picked up a bottle of beer that she had been drinking. 

"Mona? Mona, tell Cleo that the kids will be here soon." Blue yelled from the back room. Red turned to look out on the balcony. "Mona are you there?"

"Arro?" Red yelled back. 

"Yes Mona?"

"They're already here," Red replied. "Come say hello love." She said turning to where the noise was coming from. Blue almost ran out of the room. "Thanks for outing me that way." She said almost blushing, "let me formally introduce up, this is Arro Schulz and I am Mona Schulz. Please to meet you."
