The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 45.

You: (interrups the police*) Look, I don't have time for this. Do you want to help me rescue the hostage or what?

Police: (smiles*) Sir, It would be my pleasure. What shall I call you?

You: Just call me by my name, y/n l/n. Now, do you have any smoke grenades?

Time skip*

You returned with iron and waited for your new friend to return for a mission. He's name was buck and you order him to tell every guard to not fire when they see smoke grenade come out and they must wait for your signal to open fire. You finally got a single smoke grenade handed down by your new friend buck. Buck returns and iron turns around to see him, she was surprised a little for being caught off guard.

Iron: Who in the heck are you!?

Buck: Hi there, my name's buck. Nice to meet you.

Buck smiles a little and iron just doesn't show any emotions at all. You on the other hand just sigh.

You: Buck, is everything ready?

Buck: Affirmative, just waiting on your signal y/n.

You: Okay, iron listen to me I have a plan.

Iron nodded.

You: See this iron? (shows her the smoke grenade*)

Iron: Umm no, I assume it's the smoke grenade right?

You: Yup, you're right. This is a smoke grenade. I will throw it to the monsters and the monsters will of course be confused of it and suddenly the smoke grenade will cause a giant smoke around the area, enough for the monsters to can't see.

Iron: But, what if the monsters can still see even though they're blind for a second?

You: That is why we have to be slow and quiet when approaching them. The third one has the teenager, I will distract the two monsters while you sneak past the third monster, slash it's tentacles to free the teenager or hostage. Once you free the hostage, tell me as soon as possible and we will retreat as fast as we can and finally I can order the rest of the cops to open fire. Got it?

Iron: Wait, how can we see the monsters when we enter the fog?

You: Their coughing will be our signal, once we enter the thick white smoke we will listen to their coughing and the more louder it gets, the closer we are with them. But, if you hear a human scream don't hit it because it may be their hostage.

Iron: How can we be sure they will cough?

You: They were especially made to make anyone cough especially if their nose is near at the grenade. Got any questions?

Iron: Do you have a backup plan?

You: If it fails, we will just have to poof the monsters as fast as we can and hope for the best. 

Iron hesitated but nods in agreement and prepares her blades. Iron then gives the little girl the prize you win for her.

Iron: (to the little girl*) Protect this thing for me, it's from someone especial.
