1:06 am in the villa. Everyone was asleep. Not even the servants were awake. Outside the main gate stood Biceps and Iron, their expressions as stoic as ever. Iron lifted his hand to check his watch just as it ticked past 1:07. He put his wrist by his side again and faced forwards. "So." Biceps started, clearly attempting to initiate a conversation. Iron looked at him with a questioning hmm? "Quiet night, huh?"

"Indeed."

"Umm, got anything planned for tomorrow night after our shift? I was thinking of heading to a bar to get something to drink and I'm gonna need a drinking buddy."

"Sure." That was usually how long their conversations lasted. There was hardly ever anything to say. They stayed still, looking forwards.

After 10 minutes, a nearby bush rustled, startling the two guards. After a few seconds, it rustled again. They both pulled out their firearms and slowly walked over to the bush, unsure of what they would find. More rustling. They arrived and pointed their guns at the bush. Biceps leaned forwards, parting the bush but keeping his gun pointed forwards. He parted the last branch, the gun still pointing forwards, only to find a small rabbit. "Haha! It's only a rabbit, Ir-" He stopped when he realised that Iron was no longer there. "Iron?" He said, stiffening his back, swivelling around and pointing his gun in random places as he slowly paced into the open. "Iron, this isn't funny." He turned 180, only to be met by a cloaked figure. Before he could shoot, however, a flash of black metal swung at him, impacting with his temple and putting him out like a light.





Two shadows danced along the walls of the villa, shooting darts at the guards with a poison that would subdue them for a few hours. They arrived just outside the window on the second floor of the villa that was in the hallway where the entrances to the occupants rooms were. One of the shadows produced a glove that it placed on its right hand. The bottom of the glove heated to a temperature that could easily melt the glass. It melted a circle into the glass and removed it silently, allowing both shadows access into the hallway.

Vinyl woke with a start, having just had a brutal nightmare where Octavia had been injured. She panted, clutching her hand to her chest whilst using the other for balance. She looked to her right in a panic, only to find the sleeping form of her marefriend. She sighed in relief and pulled away the covers. She slipped her feet off the side groggily, about to stand up. 

Suddenly, the door opened just a crack and a black canister rolled into the room. The door closed just as soon as it opened. "What the..." The canister released a gas with a quiet hiss and the room flooded with the white smoke. Vinyl collapsed onto the bed with a light groan and passed out. The two shadows entered the room, one of them pressing a button on it's wrist to signal to several others that they had successfully infiltrated the villa and were subduing the targets. They both wore gas masks. They picked up the two unconscious women and carried them away into the hall.

They looked around the hall to see four other shadows do the same in the other two rooms. The infiltration had went without a hitch.
