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

Katya leapt down and grabbed onto Cyrus's back. She swung herself around his torso being incredibly quieting.

Sparrow looked back at Cyrus with a grin on her face before seeing 2 specific blurs attack him. She grabbed hold of a smoother wooden beam and flipped around, heading back in his direction.

Cyrus stumbled as his crutch came out from under his right arm. He put a bit more weight than he was ready for on his injured knee and shouted in pain. He managed to lean onto the panel with the controls so he didn’t fall over with two kids on him.
“Hey! What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” he snarled through bared teeth, trying to shake them off as gently as possible.

Meanwhile, Vida was drawing close to the finish.

Sparrow jumped 4 ft. into the air and onto a platform, closer to Cyrus but still far away.

Nathan grabbed his shoulders and tried to get him to fall to the floor.

“Sparrow, please get over here before I punch a child!” Cyrus called, sounding quite agitated.
Nathan was light and wasn’t having much effect on his balance since Cyrus had found something to support himself with, but he was still kind of concerned that he might get hurt worse if they did too much more.
