Nica
NICA ADMITTED JASON WAS GOOD, fortunately she was better. Daggers vs. Kunais.
"Give up Jason."
"No! Libero will prevail! Our plans will succeed!" he yelled and attacked.
"Tch. Idiot!"
Jason threw a few poisoned daggers and Nica evaded them all. Nica knew Jason liked poison as much as he liked daggers.
"One hit of this and you'll die. The doctor and the Big Boss already ordered me to kill you. Your siblings on the other hand will be used for human trials." he smirked. "Hear that? They won't be as useless as you, Arrow."
"Yeah right." she scoffed. "Like you'll ever capture them."
"But we do have your parents dear. My, your mother's scream was the most beautiful melody I've ever heard."
Nica's patience went low bat. Shut down. She attacked him with incredible speed. She threw ninja stars at his direction, and dashed with a kunai on her hand. She stabbed it on his leg, and Jason just laughed at it.
"You sadistic son of a bitch!" she screamed at him.
"One of the rules of an assassin," he said. "Never let your emotions hinder your work."
"Well, let me tell you something too." she whispered. "Use your anger and rage when on a fight to the death. Use it wisely."
She stabbed another kunai on his other leg. She kneed his face and knocked him unconscious.
"Tch. Son of a bitch." she murmured. Her hand went to her earpiece. "Nis, is everyone fine?"
"Yes sis. All prisoners are outside, at my position. Nico also succeeded implanting the virus on the laboratory's computer." Nica heard a few shuffles on the background.
"Where's Niche and Nico?" she asked.
"They're on their way back to the facility. Actually we're on our way."

"What? No! You guys stay there! I'm ending this alone!"
"Are you an idiot?" Niche's voice rang. "You can't take them on alone. We're siblings, no, quadruplets for heaven's sake! Let us help you!"
"She's got a point!" Nico said through the earpiece.
"But-"
"We're on our way. Stay where you are." Nis said, well ordered.
Suddenly, gunshots were heard on the background. Niche was barking orders, Nico was fighting, and so was Nis.
"Nis!" both Niche and Nico yelled.
"Can somebody please tell me, what's going on?!"
"Libero agents! They took Nis- Nico watch out!"
Nica heard the worry on Niche's voice. There was a sudden 'thump' and the communication line went static.
"Guys? Niche! Nis! Nico! Answer me damn it!"
Another 'thump' and Nica felt something embedded on her neck. She traced it and found out it was a tranquilizer. Before she lost consciousness, she was so sure she saw Collusus with a triumphant grin on his face.
Nica woke up, still dazed. Her vision was still cloudy, but she knew she was bound no less. When her vision cleared, she saw herself strapped to a metal table. She was put up in a way that she's standing. She looked around the room and saw her siblings on the same position as her, and their parents chained to the floor.
"Mom! Dad!" she called. "You guys! Wake up!"
Nico woke up first, followed by Niche, then Nis. Who was muttering something about a girl. No surprises there.
"Are you guys alright?" she asked.
"We're bound to a table that was put up vertically! Of course we're not fine!" Nis yelled.
"Don't forget mom and dad's state." Nico said.
"And that too!"
Nica noticed their parents stir. "Mom. Dad."

"Kids? What are you doing here?" their mom asked.
"We tried to save you guys." Niche told them and struggled against the straps.
"Emphasize on the word 'tried'." Nis said nonchalantly.
"It's no use. I can't free myself." Niche said, she even muttered a curse that earned her a glare from their mom. "Sorry mom."
"You shouldn't have gone and saved us! You're kids for fuck's sake!" yelled their dad and thrashed around, only to stop and howl in pain.
"Dear, language." Mom said.
"Sorry dear." Dad also said. They started to kiss.
"PDA!" the quadruplets shouted at the same time.
Nica eyed her siblings. It was time to confess.
"Mom, Dad. We're not just kids." Nica started.
"What do you mean?"
"Uhm, we're kinda not just regular teenagers." Nico also said.
"We have part time jobs that are pretty dangerous." Niche said too and looked at Nis.
"Just them. I'm just your lowly mechanic." Nis earned a yell from his siblings. "Fine, mom already knows. Dad, besides being extremely handsome, I am an inventor that sells my invented gadgets to the CIA. Mom's my middleman or middlewoman. Whatever. I still haven’t settled which one you are Mom."
"I'm a detective of the FBI."
"I work for the Interpol."
Their parents just stared at them, agape.
"Nica?" her mom called.
"Mom, Dad." she sighed. "I'm an assassin that works directly for Libero. It was my fault why we're all in this. I was the one who brought the Codex to our house."
Speaking of the Codex. "Nis, where's the Codex? You hid it in a safe place, right?"
"Uhm, about that."
