Field operatives' meeting [Priv/Raziel]

“Hey I'm talking to you, you vixen *****!” The rather large student said to Raziel pulling on her arm as she tried to pass by him, “I said, let's have some fun.”

“And I said no,” Raziel responded to the much larger human. She turned to him and removed his hand from her arm.

“You little,” The human boy said slapping Raziel across the face. Without a word she landed a punch directly in the human's diaphragm. He went down like a ton of bricks. His two buddies looked at Razile with a mixture of shock and horror. Had this five-foot-nothing little Faunus girl just one punched a guy twice her size? Yes yes she had.

Damn it there was no time for this, Raziel was on business. She had to greet a newcomer from the White Fang. How this had been saddled on her she would never know. A long sigh left her lips as she left the human boy to wallow in his pain. Luckily she was already in the courtyard, unluckily however her little stunt had drawn the attention of everyone in the area. Great. She headed towards the designated meeting point, with several eyes still looking at her. Once there she scanned the area for the target. She didn't know anything about the newcomer except where to meet them. The only Faunus in sight around the meeting area was another fox Faunus, though she bore white hair and fur in contrast to Raziel's golden coloring. She sat down next to the girl on the bench.

“Weather sure is nice out today,” Raziel said the pass phrase waiting for the proper answer. (Unfortunately I forgot my umbrella today.)

The silver haired Faunus that sat next to Raziel fidgeted with her scroll for a moment. Really? Really? What kind of operative was she? Or was she even an operative? She might have been a plant buy one of the governments. Or someone else with reason to infiltrate the White Fang. Just great, this was supposed to be simple. The Silver haired girl spoke something similar to the pass phrase, but not quite on point. Great. So either she was sent to infiltarte the White Fang, and had gotten the phrase off the real agent then forgotten it. Or she was the actual agent and had just forgotten the precise phrase.

In the first case then she could be playing the fool, which would be dangerous. In the second case she would be the fool which could also be dangerous. A lose lose situation. Just great. “Considering my little stunt there, it's not safe to talk here,” Raziel said standing from the bench, “follow me.” If this girl really was white fang then it would be best to make sure. And if not, well then someone was going to have a little acident.

Raziel began walking nonchalantly towards a more secluded area. First she made her way out of the main court yard, then towards one of the buildings, there was sure to be an empty classroom somewhere. Of course it was the middle of the day so students where all but everywhere. Changing her mind Raziel switched directions. This time she headed for the gym. Perfection, the current class that was in session was out on the track field.

Inside the gym she headed for the storage room in the back, inside was dark, but for a Faunus that was no issue. She maneuvered herself around some crates and other such items until they would be out of sight if someone were to look in. There she turned on the silver fox. She was taller than Raziel by about half a foot or so. That didn't matter even a short person and leer over someone. Raziel's face hardened as she cornered the silver fox against a wall. “You didn't have the correct paraphrase,” Raziel began ready to kill at the drop of a hat, “You have thirty seconds to explain yourself.” Raziel left out the cliche “or else.” though it was heavily implied.

The silver fox Faunus spoke almost nervously. Though it was obvious to Raziel that she was truly nervous, and not just faking it. Her heart beet was too fast for this to be an act. After her apology she began to calm some. Well at least she wasn't a mole. On the other hand though, they had saddled her with a newbie. This was not her area, she was meant to scare people, beat people up, kill people. Not babysit some freshly cut field agent who wouldn't know an operational paraphrase from a call and response.

Raziel stepped back from the other fox. Visibly she relaxed, her face becoming far less threatening, though she still remained her usual though self. “All right then rookie, looks like you're working with me while here. We try to keep everything as compartmentalized as possible, so that should one of us be caught then the damage to the organization will be minimal,” Raziel said. She poked a finger at the silver haired girl, “I am putting myself in some serious risk with you, so I hope that you are worth it.”

In all honestly Raziel was relieved. Though she didn't show it she was far less worried now. Sure she had her complaints, but this situation was salvageable. And now that she took a proper look at this girl, she was cute. Very cute. Not in a normal way either, not in the same way that, Mr. Grey was cute, or that a bunny was cute. No this girl was... attractive? No. Was she really thinking of another girl as attractive?

Raziel pushed back the thoughts as much as she could. Right now it was time for work, not anything else. She could work out her emotions later. The silver fox introduced herself as Jessica. Could be an alias could be a real name, but it didn't matter, as long as there was something to call her. “Let's hope you will be. I'm Raziel,” she introduced herself taking a seat on a nearby stack of vaulting box. Well it would most likely be best to get as much information out of this girl about what her particular skill set was.

“So then what do you do? I mean do you fight? You use dust? What sort of skills do you have that the organization can use?” Raziel asked. She was careful to avoid using the explicit name simply as another layer of precaution. By being vague she could play off if anyone overheard them by chance. As she looked up at Jessica those thoughts from before tried to resurface. She was cute. No. No. No. No. Go away, she's another girl for crying out loud.

Interesting, well if nothing else this Jessica would be good with electronic hurdles, and the whole immune to electric shock thing could be nice. Though Raziel did wonder about the specific level of her combat abilities. Though her smile was confident, and attractive. Damn it was Raziel blushing? Sure there were plenty of attractive guys at the school, but it was easy to ignore them.

She refused to kill? Well that was somewhat strange, but it would be no problem. Besides not everyone had the stomach or mental fortitude to kill even once. Let alone on a regular basis. Raziel wondered what the silver fox would think of if she ever saw the darker side of Raziel. The side that would ruthlessly slaughter anyone in her way, or in the way of the White Fang. Would Jessica think any less of her? Would she be afraid of her?

Wait. Why did Raziel care about that? It's not like they were friends or anything, or that she wanted this girl to like her. Did she? Did she want Jessica to like her? Damn it, Raziel could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks greater than before. She looked away from Jessica trying to conceal her blushing face.

The Silver fox came up to Raziel and put a hand on her forehead. She asked if Raziel was okay. Damn it. Great she was catching on, of course she was, Raziel's face was probably red as a beat. “No, I'm fine. Just um a little under the weather, yeah that's it. I think I'm just getting sick.” Raziel lied as convincingly as she could, considering her heart beat picked up slightly when Jessica touched her. To try and sell it even more she faked a few coughs.

This was not happening, was it? It was just a dream or something right? Raziel was not finding a girl attractive. Of course it couldn't be happening, right? And of course she would never let anyone have her heart, never again. Never again! A small shudder of fear ran though her as she thought of past events. This time she would control her heart, this time she would make the decisions, not her emotions.

Well if nothing else Jessica had just given Raziel a way out of this, but the day was still young and there was still classes and such she couldn't miss. How to play this off. There we go the suborn type. Have to get to class, maintain appearances and such. “No no. I have other things to do today, it would look suspicious if I don't show up to my classes. Besides It's not that bad,” Raziel said looking away from Jessica.

Damn it, why was Raziel attracted to this girl? That... that... that's forbidden. Of course Raziel loved Julyet, but not in that way. She was like mother. Raziel took a deep breath to try and calm down. It worked, if only slightly. Raziel would not let her emotions get the best of her. They were her emotions she was not theirs. “So, um I think that I'll get to.. uh.. class. Yeah that's it, class.”

This was not good, she had just cornered Raziel. On one hand she didn't actually have a class to go to for another hour, and on the other she couldn't go back on her story now could she? It would be strange if she did. An idea popped into her head. Raziel pulled out her scroll and looked at her class schedule. “I don't have another class for an hour or so, so there is not much I can do right now,” Raziel said trying to sound sick but not horribly so.

Raziel didn't know if she could handle another hour near this girl. Not until she could reconcile the feeling inside of her. Not until she could suppress the feeling of attraction she felt. “I think I'll be fine on my own, no need to go out of your way for me,” Raziel said standing up and going for the exit of the storage closest.

Damn it, Raziel didn't want Jessica to think that she hated her. She turned back to the fix girl, now she had three choices reveal her lie, stick with it, or come up with something else. Well then here goes nothing, “Listen, that's not what I meant. I'm just a bit out of it,” Raziel said, “It's that time of the month. I was a little embarrassed to say it at first, so I told you I was sick.” Raziel looked at the Silver haired fox trying to be as soft as she could.

Raziel could feel her face, flushing, hopefully she could play that off as being embarrassed. Her heart beat was slowing by now, but was still elevated. She knew that the other girl could hear it. Raziel shuffled uncomfortably, why on Remnant was she felling nervous? She had done things that would make the average man freeze in terror, and never even flinched. Yet now she was worried about how this one girl saw her.

Raziel let out a discreet sigh of relief, Well that went better than expected. Raziel pulled out her scroll as well. “Yeah it would make sense to exchange out contact info,” Raziel said as she started to trade numbers with Jessica. As she entered in the name into her phone Raziel put in a heart behind the silver fox's name, stared at it for a second, then deleted it. At least now she could go off on her own to think things over, work out her feelings.

“Well, then I think that's it. If you need something just hit me up, I don't sleep much so don't worry if it's late or anything,” Raziel said turning for the exit of the closet once more. Her heart picked up in pace ever so slightly as she left the closet. Was she exited about getting this girls number? Really? How stupid and immature was that? Raziel felt like some stupid school girl who had a crush on someone. But she knew the outcome, it was always the same, every time, It would only end in heartbreak.

(exit)

Jess smiled as she got Raziel's infos, putting "Senpai" rather than her name so she'd know that it's her mentor's infos. It sure seemed like they would meet again and although the white fox had no idea when, she sure couldn't wait. She took note of the fact that she could contact Raziel even if it was late, something that could be useful but that Jess probably would try to avoid unless really necessary. Anyway, she was the type to sleep like a log at night so she felt like she wouldn't disturb her that much.

Jessica waved as her new friend left the storage room, leaving her alone in the dark. She didn't mind though as it would have been bad if the two of them exited the storage at the same time. What if they were caught? What would people think? Only one thing of course: drugs! They then would be thrown out of school and that would be bad. So Jess waited about 10 minutes before leaving.
