"The general and empress wanted to get you" He said his voice a hurried rush "The Empress had Jase come with me to lead it I been promoted! I am his right hand man!"

The bars disappeared and Boomer rushed in picking her up and spinning her "I have missed you so much Avery" He murmured pushing her against the wall.

"So much" he said leaning in and kissing her deeply

 

[SinisterSpiders]

It was all so much to take in after such a period of nothingness. So much so that Avery was already somewhat dizzy even before Boomer picked her up and spun her around. Then he pushed their bodies against the wall, his lips crashing down on her and making her cling to him. When he pulled away she was breathless, panting and her cheeks were flushed. She looked at him and grinned.

"Let's get out of here!" Avery aid with a grin, happier than she had been in months.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Not yet im afraid" Jase said coming over and shaking his head "man the resemblence is uncanny" He murmured looking her up and down before handing her a gun.

"As awkward as this potentially is our mission here is two fold" Jase said nodding in the direction of the door "If you think your up for it were about to go steal our selves an ex general and leader of a rebellion"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Seeing Jase in person was odd for Avery, she had only ever seen him on his wanted poster and the mission report files. And now he was the General, and apparently he fiancee of her doppelganger. She took the gun off him, laughing at his comment about her appearance. She realised it would have been odd for him to look at her and see the woman he fell in love with. Good, she thought, a little bitterly, hoping it was awkward for him. He and Vera had caused a lot of trouble with their dalliances.

"You want to get Starborn?" She asked, looking between a determined Crestfirld and a somewhat sheepish Boomer. "Let's do it, that motherfracker needs to be taught a lesson." She said, thinking back on the hours and hours of interrogation, and all the trouble he caused foe her leading up to her capture.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Good" Jase said laughing and watching her "Just like the empress though im sure you get tired of hearing that"

"Boomer your on point Avery if you dont mind falling in line watch our backs" Jase said going over to the door and turning to them "this is going to get loud and its going to get messy lets try to contain it as long as possible and go from there" He said opening the door and peeking out and finding it devoid of people.

"So did Starborn get any thing out of you?" Jase asked her nodding at Boomer to move forward

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery rolled her eyes at the second comment about her resemblance to Vera.

"It wasn't until recently that people actually knew about that," Avery reminded him, falling back to take rear, "But yes already sick of it."

The empty hallway was a blessing. She kept her eyes open though.

"Like what?" She asked, wondering just how much Crestfield knew himself. Vera wasn't the most trusting kind, so she doubted she would have told him everything. "I didn't give him anything that wouldn't have been public knowledge. I'm just a stand in for Vera." She said, wondering what Boomer made of the whole thing.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Uh huh" Jase said looking over at boomer and weighing his options "and as long as that is all Starborn knows about you and your origins then we dont have to worry about it"

"What do you mean-"

"Not know Boomer" Jase said grabbing his shoulder and jerking him to a stop. Seconds later a platoon marched past them going down the opposite hallway.

"The less you know about it the better any ways" Jase said nodding at him to continue "sins of the father and all that shit we should be getting closer security is going to be more tight and theres going to be more people get ready guys"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery was shocked. Jase's words told her that he knew much more than she thought Bera would have ever told him. Perhaps there was something genuine between them.

"So," Avery said, ignoring Boomer's questioning look and holding her gun at the ready. "I hear a congratulations is in order." Her voice was low, aware that they were travelling through enemy territory, but she was unable to contain her curiosity any longer. Was what Perky Pete said true?

 

[silvertongue217]

"You heard?" Jase said turning and looking surprised "Well seems like guards love to gossip everywhere" Jase said snorting and nodding at Boomer to continue.

"Thank you I am sure you heard it and thought we had forgotten about you rest assured while we werent planning and doing every thing else we were working out how to get you back Vera wanted to come but I convinced her to let me take Boomer instead" Jase explained as he consulted his map.

"Were getting closer I suggest if you have any more questions ask them now before the shit hits the fraking fan"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery listened to Cresfield's explanation she'd just shook her head. Bomber didn't argue with what he said so she didn't bother to question it. She laughed at his last comment.

"One more thing," Avery asked with a grin, "How the hall did you convince Vera to stay behind? Once she sets her mind on something she doesn't budge."

 

[silvertongue217]

Jase laughed shaking his head and turning to her "It was easier than you would think actually I made a very compelling argument!"

Jase turned moving forward before turning his head back to her "It also helps that she is pregnant"

"SHES WHAT" Boomer said jumping and turning

"Yeah but dont tell any one!" Jase said laughing and thunking Boomer on the back of his head "also way to give our position away" Jase said pointing at the troopers turning to look at them.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

"Frack!" Avery cursed, eyes widening. She wasn't sure if she was cursing at the news Vera was pregnant or the troopers that turned to look at them. Probably both. She made sure her gun was set to stun and she fired off a few rounds, taking down two of the troopers before they could respond.

"Could you guys pick a worse time?!" Avery growled, looking at Crestfield. Well, he certainly was one hell of a renegade. She marvelled at the fact that such a buccaneer had managed to seduce (and impregnate) Vera.

 

[silvertongue217]

"It wasnt exactly intentional" Jase hollered back a grin on his face as he popped his gun up and dropped the other two before Boomer could even shoot "I mean you know her better than any one I have no doubt you know about her.... condition well I had some thing similar so both of us didnt think it could happen" Jase explained rushing forward with the two.

"Looks like were right outside the generals quarters" Jase said turning to them "Avery how would you like to do the honors of dropping the son of a bitch" He said grinning.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

What Crestfield said just got more and more intriguing to Avery. Surely Vera hadn't gone so far as to explain her genetic modifications, Avery thought. Before she could get too deep into it Crestfield offered her the honours.

"You bet," Avery said with a grin. She walked over to him, noting what looked like a laser cutter on his suit, and snatching it off. "But no more talking about personal stuff until we are back in Vera's suite. Too many ears in this joint," she said, motioning around them.

She fired the laser cutter up and destroyed the control panel by the door, and then cut two long slits into where the door would be locked into the cavity. She then motioned for Boomer to push it aside and had her gun and the laser cutter up and charged.

The General was within, his eyes raising from the projection on his desk. To his credit, he looked surprised but not concerned.

"Welcome, why don't you take a seat and we can dis-" He begun, hand reaching for an alarm button.

"Frack you!" Avery snapped, firing her weapon and stunning the bastard. He flopped into unconsciousness and fell onto the ground with a loud thud. The door behind him opened and two guards came out, Boomer took one down and she took the other.

"Right, how are we getting off this rock?" She asked, turning to Crestfield as they stepped into the Generals office. A split second later an alarm started blaring through the PA. "Better make it quick..."

 

[silvertongue217]

"Wait we needed to have a plan to get off of this rock?" Jase said pretending to be shocked before laughing "were winging it I mean they got to have some ships on this thing some where right?"

Jase walked over to the unconscious ex general and picked him up carrying him fireman style "Fracker is heavy" He said snorting and shaking his head "Afraid you two are going to have to cover me Boomer if you could please download his hard drive"

"got it boss" Boomer said going over and tinkering with the computer

"We want to make sure this little insurrection is nipped in the bud completely" Jase explained catching Averys look "so we want all the intel they have and who there mole is within the council"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery thought that downloading the hard drive was a good plan. The rest of it though she was very sceptical about.

"You're fracking kidding me?" She demanded, eyes slipping to Boomer and hoping his hacking wouldn't take much longer. The alarm was starting to get on her nerves. "You come in here, knock out their people, take the General and think you're going to wing your way out of it?"

 

[silvertongue217]

"Why not?" Jase said as Boomer confirmed the hard drive was downloaded and tossed him the data packet "Being loosey goosey was how Vera and I got out of the space station twice we will be fine" He said shaking his head and opening the door.

"Looks like there not coming so far" Jase said leading them out "Boomer which way to the hanger?"

"Should be down the hall and up a few flights of stairs" Boomer said consulting the map

"Come on" He said his gun up as they raced down the halls. Two flights later and a full company of guards they found themselves overlooking a vast hanger that was bustling with people.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery followed Jase and Boomer in a state of disbelief. As she watched their rear she wondered at how Boomer, who had received the same spec ops training as her, thought winging it was a good idea. Then, she saw the hangar. There were so many people there that there was no way they could make it through unseen. The hangar floor was awash with activity for some sort of shipment, large crates being loaded onto a cargo craft, while the other more military ones stood to the side, some of the pilots hanging by and chatting chummily.

"Now what, General?" Avery asked, mind racing as she tried to calculate their best odds of getting out of there alive.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Well as much as going into a cargo crate sounds fun" Jase said his voice heavy with sarcasm "I have a better idea" He said spying a short shuttle craft made for speed right on the edge.

"Think the shuttle craft would be enough to get us out ot the Falcon?" Jase asked turning to Boomer

"I can get us there in that yes" Boomer said nodding at the ship "How we going to get their boss?"

"We just rappel down" Jase said pointing at the railing over the craft. He got up racing over the the criss crossing beams and testing the railing.

"Should be secure enough" Jase said turning to them

 

[SinisterSpiders]

"By the stars," Avery murmured, watching Crestfield get up into the eaves and start waltzing across the beams, even with the General in his arms. "Is he for real? She asked Boomer. She motioned for him to go first and then jumped up to follow him.

To her disbelief, no one managed to look up. They made it all the way across to the ship without incident. Knowing that Jase would be unable to set up the grappling system himself she sidled past Boomer and went about taking the gear of Jase's suit. It was a pretty good set of body armour, she had tl give him that at least. She set the grappling hook up.

"Boomer, if you go down and take cover, I'll send these two knuckleheads next, and i'll take rear." She suggested.

 

[silvertongue217]

"you got it babe" Boomer murmured securing himself to the line. He turned and with a jump launched himself down the line whiring as he slid down easily. Boomer reached the bottom within seconds and was sqauting his gun at the ready to drop any one who came to close.

"Lets take this fraker down next" Jase grunted pushing him off and onto the floor and securing him. He pushed him over letting the rappel take him down before turning to Avery.

"Ladies first I insist" Jase said with a cocky rogue like grin

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery stepped in front of Jase, connecting herself to the grappling hook.

"Crestfield, not a word of my heritage to Boomer. Got it?" She said it like an order but in her eyes were a plea. She would tell him if, when, the time was right.

Avery sailed down the zip line, and as she did she noticed someone on the far side of the hangar turn. They hadn't seen her as such, but she had a feeling they would be watching. She stood by the bottom of the rope, gun ready, covering Crestfield. She motioned for Boomer to go in and get the ship started. Luckily for him he was already in uniform. Avery and Jase stood out like a sore thumb.

 

[silvertongue217]

Jase nodded at her letting her know he understood. He went down the line next zipping down to a stop before disengaging and lifting up the general. They were about to lose the element of surprise so he hung in the shadows giving Boomer enough time to warm up the engines before he blew it for them.

"We are ready to go" Boomer whispered over COMS

"Good because I think were about to be blown" Jase remarked noting the man moving from his watch and coming over to them "Avery drop him and then cover me as I get the good general into the ship!"

Jase moved forward quickly dodging into the ships hangar doors and tossing the knocked out general into a crash seat.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Avery wasn't in uniform, but she was in PEACe branded casual gear. The guy Jase had mentioned sauntered over to them, looking at Avery and then peering over her shoulder at the speeder craft.

"I haven't seen you around here," the guy said, a wary grin on his face. "Shouldn't you be in a flight suit if you're taking this baby out?"

Avery returned his grin.

"I s'pose I should," she said as he continued even closer. She subtly tucked her weapon into her back pocket,them folded her arms under her breasts, using the movement to push them up higher. The guy noticed, eyed flickering down as he stepped into range, his smile appreciative.

"Say, you look kind of familiar," he said.

"I've been getting that a lot lately," Avery giggled. The guy looked at her face then, really looked. When he did his eyes widened for a moment,but that was all he had time to do as Avery slammed her elbow up into his chin, then reached out to catch him as he slumped to the ground. She dragged him over and hid him behind a couple of crates before racing into the ship and buckling herself in. Out of the cockpit window she could see a few people turning to look at their craft in confusion. Avery looked around and then noticed a small metal plaque beside the control console.

"Frack!" Avery swore, glaring at Jase, "This is Starborn's private shuttle!"

Just as she said it an officer ran into the hangar, pointing at the ship.

"Go Bomber!" Avery cried as a team of personnel started running their way.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Boomer I suggest you listen to your lady and punch it" Jase called to him hitting the button to close the ramp.

"You got it General" Boomer said as the craft began to rise. By then every one was staring and shouting guns were starting to raise hesitantly as they watched the ship begin to rise up and word finally began to trickle down the general had been captured.

"There any weapons on this tub?" Jase asked coming into the pilots area and strapping himself in

"Looks like it but I thought you said no casualities?"

"We can scare them though" Jase said activating the targeting system and sighting the hangers shielding doors. He blasted them causing a fire that sent many of them scrambling just as Boomer punched it and they shot out.

"If this is the general ship then I am sure its fitted with countermeasures to prevent them from firing on it" Jase called "by the time they disable them we will be back at the Falcon!"
