Previously on Soulmates - "This might help in your favor, if you still treat her the same she might be appreciative when she finds out you loved her all that time but didn't start treating her differently" I chuckle thinking of her "Yeah, she will" it goes silent before mother gets up "I am going to get this mission rolling, you and Y/N will be heading out tonight so go get ready"
Here is the second chapter for the double update I said there would be !!!
----------------------------------------------------------
Y/N's P.O.V
After I left the training session for me and Damian I did exactly what Ra's suggested I do and choose my other partner for this mission. I went back to my room to see if Ashley or Brittney were there but for once they weren't in the room making me shake my head. I started out on my search for the two in the lunch hall where there were a few people but not the two girls I was looking for.
I am now confused and start walking to the training hall which is the last place I thought I would ever see them but there they were. My eyes widen when I saw they were with Jordan, I walked over to them and they all turned to me even though Brittney and Ashley were in the middle of a sparring session with two separate assassins. "Could I maybe get a moment with my two friends" The two guys nodded to me and walked off leaving me with Jordan and the girls.
"Y/N, I haven't seen you all day. Where have you been" I shrug and Jordan's question "I have been with Talia, we did some training outside for some fresh air" I saw the girls look at each other before looking at me "With D-" I turned are glared at them with a look that said 'shut up' they both closed their mouths as I turned back to Jordan.
"Sorry if you were looking for me" he shrugged "I ended up finding these two who said they were friends with you. They both tried to help me find you when I said I was looking for you to train with" I chuckled "As if these two would know where I am, they are asleep most of their time here". I hear both the girls gasp and Brittney spoke up "Rude" I smiled at them both "Well do you wish to train now" he smiled "Well I have been waiting all day" We both walk to a mat and get into position.
"Let him see a fake one" I look at him confused "You want me to lose on purpose' He nods.
I remember what Ra's said and fix my position slightly so it's not as precise as before and then attack first. When I go to land my stike and Jordan's blocks I move my strike to land against his blocks. Hopefully, this makes him think that what he saw before was a fluke and I got lucky in our last sparring session.
I start to let up on my attacks so he can start to attack me, Once he began throwing blows they were not very strong so I let a few of them hit before I finally let one of his hits push me back and off the mat which signaled the end of the sparing session.
I put on a fake smile "Very good Jordan, have you been practicing" he looked a little proud of himself "I mean a little with Lina" I chuckle "Well I guess it paid off maybe you pick things up more quickly" his face lit up before Talia cam in the training hall "Y/N I need you for a mission" I turn to look at her and nod 'she must have figured out the fake mission already'.
I start walking towards the girls before leaning in between them and whispering "I will explain later right now I need one of you to come on this mission. Brittney pack your bag quickly you're with me" I pull away and walk towards Talia "Jordan, Cobra wants to see you in the Throne room so you may come with us" Once I walk past Talia she turns and walks beside me heading to the throne room "everything in motion" I see her smile "yes, go pack your bag and meet us at the throne room".
I break off from her and head to my room and start packing everything I am going to need even though it is a fake mission. Once my whole bag is packed I close my door and walk out in the direction to head back to the throne room and on my way I see Damian walking the same way.
I catch up to him and he turns to me "Finish packing all your weapons?" I smirk "As long as you know that I'm not packing pretty dresses" We both chuckle "Who did you pick as your partner "Zak, how about you?".
"Brittney" he shakes his head "What a shame" I sigh "I know if I had known I would have brought Ashley". I look over at Damian "Do you happen to know what he thinks of her" I see a little smirk grow on his face again "Do you happen to know what she thinks of him".
I laugh "So they are both fools, hiding it from each other" he nods "Pretty much, even though after that mission they hang out a little more often he won't say anything and I don't suppose your friend has plans to say anything either".
I shake my head "nope, she, unfortunately, doesn't have the guts for that" It goes silent before he speaks up again "it's a hard thing to admit, you are baring your soul to someone. Without knowing if they love you back" I look over at him "Hopefully they will work it out because they seem to be amazing together".
We both make it to the throne room with our bags and see Cobra talking with Ra's and Jordan. Talia looks at both of us "You both ready" and we both nod before Ra's and the others come over "Jordan will be joining you on this mission, it shouldn't be too difficult with all of you plus the two who will be joining you three shortly".
Cobra stands next to Ra's "We are happy to help out" I scoff in my head 'help out in destroying us, but go ahead and believe that we trust you'. Ra's nods "You three can start heading to the chopper, Talia will explain when you are all inside and ready to take off" We all start walking towards the helicopter pad with Talia in front.
Time Skip
Jordan decides to sit next to me and Damian is on my other side 'This is going to be an interesting ride'. Talia waits at the door for Brittney and Zak, and once they are on board we all sit and listen as Talia starts explaining the mission.
"Now that you are all here, you five will be going down to a small city where there is a new upcoming group that is gunning to thrash heads with the League. Your assignment is to take them all down and bring back one of the members, preferably the leader. There is a small place already set up for you all to stay for the night and longer if you need longer. Good Luck" She shuts the door and stands clear of the helicopter so we can take off.
When we are finally in the air we all unbuckle and I go over to sit next to Brittney who is talking to Zak "Can I borrow my friend for a second Zak" he nods and goes over to sit next to Damian. I grab Brittney and pull her towards the back of the chopper "Are you ready to explain what this is, what that whole thing was back in the training room".
I look over to see the three guys in conversation before turning back to her "I had just gotten done training with Damian and Talia so I was a little worn out when I was training with Jordan" She nods and seems to believe about being worn out. "What about this mission, why me and not both of us," I think quickly on the spot not wanting to risk Jordan overhearing that we know what his family is up to "It was Talia's idea, she's trying to play matchmaker I think".
Brittney looks shocked "That's my job why is she ta- wait who is she trying to match me to" I shrug, "I think she believes both Zak and Jordan like you and sent me and Damian along to be the go-betweens" she still looks shocked before a smirk grows on her face "or she's trying to set you up with Damian" I glare at her "not now Britt" she laughs "fine, but eventually your gonna come to terms with it and you two are gonna live happily ever after" I roll my eyes "Brittney we ar-".
"My prince we should be landing in a minute and 30" I look at Damian and he comes over to me leaving his conversation with the other two boys "Can I have a moment with her now" Brittney has a smirk on her face as she walks back tot he boys "of course my prince".
I once again roll my eyes before I feel Damian grab my hand making me look at him. He turns his head to look at the others, during which I see a com in his ear. I rub my finger over his knuckle to let him know I saw before I step closer to him and we connect 'Can you hear me' I nod 'My mother just said our people are the group and they are about to attack the helicopter' 'we need to make this look real, so they don't catch on' I felt him pull me closer 'you haven't told Brittney' I chuckle.
'Nope or she will blow this whole operation, does Zak know' I felt him nod 'Be ready, we should disconnect before we get hit'. We both pull away and his arms were around my waist and mine on his shoulder just like last time, I stood there before walking out of his grip and going to take my seat.
Just as we were touching down there was a spear coming straight through the door and it pulled off the door making us all move to the sides and get down "What's going on" I see Jordan and Brittney looking on edge while the Damian, Zak and I put on a facade to look shocked. I heard the soft click of a gun and turned to them "GET DOWN"
