Nathan saw Katya coming and waved with one hand then reached back down to her "I can help you gain momentum to jump up here!" He saod

Esmae grabbed Nathan's hand but still held on to the tree with the other. "Are you sure? I'm like two times your weight." If he did this, it would hurt. The she saw Katya, she may be able to help a bit more the Nathan.

Katya made it over and offered a hand down to Esmae, "There's two of us now. We can do it."

Esmae let go of the tree and swung her other hand to grab Katya. "Alright I'm ready." She looked down and saw the Sparrow and Cyrus were pulling some levers. So they're the ones doing this.

Sparrow did a two finger salute when she saw Esmae looking at them and pressed anothe button. Small water balloons started launching themselves everywhere.

Nathan crunched onto a branch and looked at the balloons "it's like a war zone down there!" He said in awe

Katya pulled Esmae up onto the branch. She looked over at Cyrus and Sparrow dodging the water balloons. She looked over at Esmae, "Should we go for them or for the end zone?"

"I'm not sure." Esme also dogged the balloons. "If we go for them we need a plan. Going after professional assassins with a plan is a bad idea." When the cost was clear she ran and jumped of the branch onto a moving platform. "Come on, we need to find somewhere where there are no traps."

Nathan looked and frowned "the only, "safe"place u see, are the trees." He muttered

Katya nodded and followed after swinging from the branch to another one near Esmae, "I mean we don't have to, but it would be fun to do."

"Taking down professional assassins is more my style, rather than running around some tree house trying to get to the end." She ran across the wood floor hanging about forty feet from the ground. Nathan is right the trees were the only safe place, but they need to find the perfect tree.

Katya hopped up next to Esmae. She looked around and hopped to the next tree that looked safe, "We could jump down on them, like a sneak attack."

"They would definitely expect that. We have the higher ground, if they knew we were doing a sneak attack. Which knowing them they expect as too." She jumps to a tree branch and pulls herself up to sit. "It would definitely be from above so they would expect it. If we can get them from the ground, they may be more surprised." Esmae has lead many people on missions, but she has to keep reminding herself that she's not in charge, and it's hard for her to handle not being in charge.

"We're always a lot weaker than them," Katya pointed out as she looked down at the two older ass-ass-ins. Her eyebrows furrowed as she concentrated, "But maybe they would be expecting it, so they aren't expecting it. You know how in chess when you think someone's going to do one move, and you know they know you think they're going to do that one move so you do a different move to block another move and then they do the move you thought they were going to do."

"What if we just do both? One or two of us can come from above while the others come from the ground. They'll basically be surrounded." It was better to have more options, it was a less chance of failure. "Who has a better chance going from the sky and who has a better chance from the ground?"

"I think you should go from the ground," Katya suggested, "You're more experienced than me. All I have to do is drop and not die."

Sparrow set the levers and buttons to activate randomly then looked at Cyrus. "If you need me, I'll be training." She said and did a backflip off the platform onto a wooden bridge below.

"Alright I'll take the ground. I'll wait for your signal to move." She hopped from branch to get to the ground. Setting up her wrist shooter she waited in the shadows.

Nathan hopped up a few branches and sat beside Katya "how do we do this?"

"We drop down on them," Katya explained, "And we hold onto them like monkeys."

Nathan nodded "ok, but Sparrow isnt there anymore. Its only Cyrus."

"Come on guys." She whispered so that Cyrus wouldn't hear her. It wouldn't take long before he noticed they were missing.

(Oh god they’re going to kill him. This poor old man is already hurt…)
Cyrus looked back from the levers to the obstacle course, only to realize just Vida was left. She was tired and had stopped to rest for a moment.
“Vida, where did…?”
Cyrus didn’t say this loud enough for her to hear, but he started to look around for the others.

Sparrow was jumping from one platform to the next, dodging different dull weapons. She climbed a tree at one point to scout the quickest way out.

Nathan jumped from his branch and landed on a thicker one without a sound. At Black Claw, he was being trained as a special assailant with catlike abilities. Two and a half years of practise were already embedded in his mind so jumping soundlessly was second nature to him.

(Poor Cyrus. It will be funny if Vida completes the course and triumphantly looks behind at her competitors to realize they were in the midst if ambushing Cyrus lmao)

Katya moved down to a lower level above Cyrus. She had a natural gift for fitting in and silence was her greatest gift. She looked over at Nathan and gave him a slight nod saying she was ready.

Esmae looked up to see Katya give Nathan a nod and assumed she was ready. Hurting Cyrus wasn't her goal, she just wanted to see if she could surprise him. Getting into a running stance, she waited.

Nathan nodded back and creeped down a tree like a snale

Katya carefully crouched over Cyrus. She began counting down with her fingers, 3. 2. 1. Zero.

Vida picked her pace back up and started towards the finish line. Cyrus was slightly distracted at the moment and looked around, but there were branches and such to block his view of the kids perched above him.

Nathan jumped onto Cyrus with a yelled and wrapped his legs across his shoulders
