Conner paused from his work at the mention of science classes. They had labs in the school. Conner grinned from ear to ear, still trying to contain his excitement at Alexandrea's explanation. More and more ideas swimming through his head every second. But one stood out the most. "Let's make it explosive..." he said and checked his wiring before closing the computer and booting up the system again. "I'm thinking that the school needs a little more life, more colour." He faced Alexandrea with a wide smile. "Do you know where you get tungsten carbide? And cobalt, hydrogen peroxide, and hydrochloric acid?"

Alexandra blinked owlishly at his question and she sat up, drawing her knees under her. "Tungsten carbide? Hydrochloric acid? Do I want to know what you're planning?" she asked the silver haired teen, a weary feeling bubbling in her chest. She knew that if anyone messed with those chemicals, she would trust Connor the most but that didn't stop her from feeling weary when that particular grin crosses his face. "Nevermind that. The two chemicals that I asked about would be a bit harder to find. They would be either in the local university lab or the pharmaceutical labs down town. That's where they would store the chemicals in town. You could find the rest in the school lab." she stated, wondering what he was going to do with those chemicals.

"Do you think you can smuggle some from the school labs while I get into the government ones. And while we're at it, we can make some harmless bombs with the hydrochloric acid and some aluminium and food colouring. The school could use some redecorating. What do you say?" With a grin as wide as a cheishre, he got up to his feet. "And if we can, we should at least recruit one more person to execute this flawlessly."

"Do you know how closely watched the school labs are?" Alexandrea asked in a deadpan tone, before switching topics. "I would need to get surveillance feed loops for the labs then I would be able to get you those materials. Who do you have in mind for recruitment?" she asked, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. The thought of recruiting any more people worried her but she had to trust Connor's judgement. He was the head of their little rebellion in her mind and she chose to follow him a long time ago so it wasn't her place to disagree. She knew it would be easy smuggling the chemicals out of the school with the feed but with the speaker coming in soon the security would be tighter. It would make the whole process a lot smoother if they had a third set of hands and ears.

"I'm aware, don't worry I'll make preperations. That's why we're here." He grinned and slowly rose to his feet. He settled back down on his computer chair and started it up. It hummed to life as he thought for a moment. "I have someone in mind, but I have to look through their files for any sort of hints or traces that may give us a good sign... essentially how I found you." He offered a smile.

Alexandrea blinked and her head tilted to the side slightly in confusion. "You found me because of my files? How does that work?" she asked, rising to her feet to move behind Connor. She leaned against his chair, glancing over his shoulder to study the computer screen. She scanned through the screens that popped up and hummed quietly to herself before glancing to her left. She was rather close to the silver haired boy and blinked, pulling back slightly.

"Observation. I can find your location based on the barcode. Where you live, what classes you take. And I watched you and a couple of other students before recruiting you. And I'll do the same for this guy." He easily broke into the firewall of the school system, getting through all the algorithms like it was nothing. "Jericho... Jericho... ah. Here." He clicked and a scanned copy of his photo information popped up. Address, emergency contacts. It was all there. The corner of Connor's lip twitched ever so slightly into a smile when he took a couple of seconds to stare at his photo before moving on. "So...we have his address..." he cleared his throat and turned to the other monitor, then pulled up Google Maps. "Just need to get his coordinates..."

Alexandrea watched the teen hack into the school systems and blinked in surprise at the ease he displayed. "Did you want to talk to him to see if he is interested in our cause? It seems that you've been watching him for quite some time." she said, studying the information it provided. "It seems like Agent Cupid hasn't found a match for him yet even though it looks like Uncle dearest is a loyal doctor. Parents are quite ordinary though at first glance." she stated, scrolling through the information as her mind soaked it up like a sponge. This to her was the best part about the rebellion. Gathering information gave her a thrill and it was even better when that information was used against her stuck up brother. Every bit counted in her mind.

Conner's palms got clammy just at the thought of talking to Jericho. "Ummm... I was actually thinking that you would do the talking," he coughed into his arm. "I'm not going to be attending school again until D-Day. I need to finalize the details for the rebellion protest and make a few warnings. You'll probably see a couple of stunts of mine for the next couple of days. But I'm sure you'll do a good job convincing him on your own, right?" He smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. In all honesty, he just didn't want to embarrass himself.

Alexandrea blinked at his words and turned to face him with a confused look on her face. "You want me to convert him without you? He's your recruit." She stated, noting the awkward cough and sheepish look. It seemed like he had a different reason for her doing the talking then he let on but she let it slide this time. It wasn't her place to question him anyways. "Nevermind that. It seems like he's in our homeroom so I can chat with him then. What do you have in mind for the stunts?"

"For the small ones, I was thinking about doing a little bit of graffiti here and there. Nothing big or explosive. Just so that I don't get caught trying to do all this, it'll be on public property." he started saving some of Jericho's information into his personal files before erasing his traces and exiting the school system. "I'm not sure how easily convinced he'll be, but he seems like a nice guy from what I've observed." He smiled, his ears feeling a little hot, cheeks tinted pink. "If you see him do anything out of sorts, try to catch him in the act. You can try to make conversation from there."

Alexandrea felt stunned as she watched the pink spread across Conner's cheeks before his words snapped her out of her brief lapse. She let out a small giggle but nodded anyways. "Why not let me help you with the graffiti? I always wanted to give my mailbox a new look." She suggested, storing her newfound information away for later. "You think I'll actually catch your potential recruit doing something?" She asked, probing for more information. She had a feeling that her boss had a crush on this new character and she was tickled pink by this idea. She just had to know if she was right!

"Sure," he nodded and opened the files that he downloaded on his computer and stared blankly at the picture of Jericho staring right back at him. "I'll gather some equipment for you," he said absent-mindedly. He propped his cheek against his hand, the smallest smile tugged at the edge of his lip and he could feel his stomach twist in a knot. Not everything made him smile. Usually went for the sarcastic grin or sinister sneer. Whatever he was feeling, he almost forgot that Alexandrea was in the same room as him.

Alexandrea had to bite the inside of her cheek to stifle her squeal of delight as she realised that he did in fact like the recruit. She beamed at his words before a giggle escaped her once more. "Sure. I prefer blues and greens. Maybe dashes of purple too!" She said, planning the color scheme of her mailbox. She couldn't wait to decorate it!

It took Conner a moment to come back to his senses. He quickly opened the paperwork and started printing out the documents, handing them to Alexandrea. His face burned. "Sure, I can make the pigments for you and grab the spray bottles from a hardware store." He cleared swallowed and pulled his hoodie over his head. "I'll pick them up tonight when I send you home. Oh and about Jericho..." he pulled on the strings of his black hoodie to cover up how absolutely red he was. "I can just assist you and give you visual during class or whatever."

Alex giggled at his words as she clapped her hands together in delight, finding a twisted glee in watching him squirm in embarrassment. "Great! I thought you weren't going to be at school so you can prep? Unless you would be spying through the cameras and speaking in my ear that is." She said, barely managing to refrain from laughing in delight.

"Yes, that's what I mean," Conner confirmed. He undid his hoodie and faced Alexandrea. He frowned at her seemingly overjoyed expression. "What? Do you find something amusing? Excited for the big event or something?" He raised an eyebrow. It's not like it was their first time doing something this risque before. Attacking government property, maybe. But wasn't she wary of his idea of attacking the school earlier? "Or maybe it's the new recruit?" He walked over to grab his backpack and gather his things, pulling the mask over his face. The fabric of it had worn down and he was overdue for a new one.

Alex let out a snicker and felt her lips twist into a cattish grin as she leaned back to straighten up. "That my dear boss, is for me to know and you find out in a few months. I've got a brilliant plan, you'll see." She told him with a wink, pleased with her train of thoughts. She was now determined to have Jericho join their team, mainly for her future entertainment.

Conner's suspicions only rose further. "O...okay...?" he gave her a worried look and pulled his backpack over his shoulders. "Let's get you going then. Curfew's almost here. Don't want your brother to get suspicious." He pulled the mask over his nose and sighed. "Alright, come on then, let's not dally any longer. Before you get found out." he opened the door and walked out.

Alexandrea's nose scrunched up in distaste as she trailed after the masked teen out of the compound. Grabbing her bag as she walked by, the teen let out a sigh as she shouldered the unwanted weight. "I know. I know. I swear I don't know how that man is my brother. He's been getting more coffee recently though. Its odd because he never use to like that stuff. Maybe its because he grew up." she complained, digging in her bag for her hover board. She took a brief moment to marvel at the ingenuity Connor possessed with the bag and another smirk crossed her face. Jericho would surely appreciate it as well when she got him to convert.

Conner emerged from his hideout and stretched his arms. "Alright, ready to go?" He said and took the lock from his backpack, preparing to lock up again as soon as they were both ready.

"Yeah. I'm ready when you are." Alexandrea said with a pout, deftly pulling her long hair up into a bun. She couldn't head home with disheviled hair or her cold hearted brother might suspect that something was up. What he would suspect is something that she didn't want to think about and she just sighed, turning her back to the door. "I can't believe you still won't trust me with the door Connor. That's so not fun. " she said, a pout clear in her voice.

Conner headed back in and closed the electronic door and locked it with his hand print. He walked to the osmium door and pushed it shut, taking the lock from his backpack and clicking it shut, covering the lock with his body to redo the puzzle lock and put the key away. "Alright, let's head back," he said and slid his hoverboard out. He started riding into the woods, disappearing again, almost immediately.

As Alexandrea followed Conner back into the woods, Darien was sitting at his desk with a small sigh. The work load was getting heavier but the man did not mind. What he did mind though was the fact that the rebels were still out there, he could feel it. He could feel his frustration brewing and took a deep breath to calm down. He was heading into dangerous waters with those foreign feelings and he had to take a step back to see the whole situation before he proceeded. "Maybe I need someone to bounce ideas off of. Two is better than one is the saying." he mused quietly, glancing over at his untouched cold coffee. Cold blue eyes gleamed for a moment as an idea started to grow but that thought was quickly snuffed out as he glanced at the time. Surprise marred his features for a moment as he started to pack up for the night. "That thought can wait. Alexandrea should be lonely. Maybe I should see Melanie to set up a match for the children in her grade." he mused out loud to himself. It was the only habit Alexandrea rubbed off on him and he sighed once more when he realized that. The planning could wait until later that night when he made sure his sister was alright.

(guess I should start using Conner's profile lol. I made it a while back but didn't bother to use it. Don't have Daphne profile yet)
When they reached the edge of the city, Conner pulled out his grappling hook and quickly shot it over the top of the wall. "Alright, I'll go first. Make sure there's no one following us." He hissed and quickly started scaling the wall as fast as his hands and feet could carry him. Once he was on top, he waited for Alexandrea to follow before tossing the rope to the other side and quickly making his way down, making jumps about eighty percent of the way and landing quietly. He spotted the camera, and cursed under his breath. "Hurry. We're not gonna be on the camera's blindspot for long... And I think they're already making rounds for curfew!" He hissed from below.

Alexandrea growled at their bad timing and worked her way swiftly down the wall, long past caring about her skirt now. "What time is it?" she hissed quietly, quickly taking down the grappling hook from the wall. Faint footsteps reached her ear from the right and her movements quickened. She tossed the stuff back to Connor before running quietly to the shadows, motioning for him to do the same. Her heart was pounding in her ears but she kept her breathing and steps light, knowing that if she messes up by making a noise, it wouldn't be just her life that would be over. It would be his too.

Conner's breath hitched and his heart skipped a beat but managed to catch his grappling hook and stuff quickly stuff it in his backpack. Silently, he followed Alexandrea and took a quick peek at his watch. He pulled his black hood over his head to cover his white hair. "It's almost nine... give or take seven more minutes," he hissed softly. "You can go and head on home, I can get to the store by myself. Check in with me once you're safe." He whispered and pulled his earpiece out from his backpack and slid it around his ear. "I'll talk with you tomorrow," he said. "Don't forget." He waved goodbye before sneaking around, looking for blind spots before sneaking around the city, narrowing his vision onto the path where the nearest warehouse was. He clicked a button on his earpiece and a holographic picture of the map started guiding him towards his destination.

Alexandrea cussed silently at his words and glanced around he corner as he was speaking. Seeing the coast clear she whispered a quick good luck before sprinting quietly away. She had to admit it, she was worried and scared at that point. She didn't stop or slow down once until she reached the streets, ignoring the stitch in her side as she moved. Pausing under the shadows of a building, Alexandrea leaned against the wall to just breath for a moment. Getting her composure back, the teen slipped her own communication device in her ear before setting off for home. After a few short blocks, Alexandrea slipped through her open window, tossing her bag onto her desk with a sigh. Walking out of her room, the brunette swiped a pb&j from the counter top and glanced around, looking for her brother.

Conner slid around the city, traversing through it, knowing it like the back of his hand. He pulled black gloves over his hands and silently made his way towards the warehouse. "Alright... goodies, here I come." He chuckled and rubbed his hands together. He took out his pick locking tools from his bag and switched to the decoding system with his eyepiece. He worked through the scanner and the padlock before hearing that deafening click. "Jackpot... Let's just get what we need and go. But first." He twisted a knob on his eyepiece to check the security camera. "Let's get rid of you..." He whispered and took out a small keyboard from his supposedly bottomless compartment. He connected that to his eyepiece and quickly took apart the scanner, and started hacking into the security system, shutting off the cameras for a moment before putting up a temporary loop that could buy him some time. When he was done with that, he quickly shoved his things back into his bag and quickly slipped into the store just as a drone hovered over the spot where he was just a moment ago. Conner huffed, holding his hand against his chest before proceeding to go to the paint cans. "I hope you like the rainbow, Darien." He chuckled darkly to himself as he stuffed a handful of spray cans into his bag.

Darien sneezed right when he got home and blinked slightly in confusion, freezing in the doorway for a moment. He blinked once more when he heard a muffled giggle and footsteps running down the hall before closing the door behind him. "Alexandrea! Is your homework done?" he called out, frowning slightly at the childish act his sister was putting on. She should know better than giggling, let alone running down the halls! How improper. He sighed silently at those thoughts before moving to wash his hands. It wouldn't do anyone any good if he got sick now.
"One, two Connor. Come in." Alex spoke, tapping the earpiece as she leaned against her closed door for a moment. She let out another giggle at the baffled expression her brother wore after his sneeze and moved to head to her computer. She'd have to get Connor to hack the house cameras for a copy of that moment. She quickly started up the monstrosity and silently thanked the silver haired teen as the machine booted quickly and silently. Pulling up the shared files, Alexandrea quickly got to work imputing the day's information as she waited for a response.
