I'm Feeling Lucky

To Aleks: “I’m at the new base”

Her leg was killing her. She felt like it was on fire.

Still, Huixin pushed on, working fast to create her clone……at the cost of her own health, of course. The phone slipped out of her grasp, falling on the carpet

For Ophelia

For her

Anything for her

Huixin sighs as she heads towards their backup base, quickly setting up her new phone and sending messages to Shieta, Saeng-i, Xuanji, Aleksandr, Ldeya and the trio. “You guys okay?” She typed out, sending an additional one to Shieta

“I’m kinda injured, can you help?”

Kinda injured was an understatement. She was bleeding. Badly. She might actually pass from the blood loss

Huixin stumbles into her chair, using her magic to weave a copy of herself, picking pieces from various bodies to assemble the Frankenstien-her.

She wasn’t going to let Ophelia suffer. Not if she could help it. Time to piñata her ‘body’~

“Your promise is an empty one. You’ll try, but there’s no way the ESD will let us live comfortably”

Huixin kissed Ophelia’s cheek tenderly, before she rips into her own skin, smearing the blood on Ophelia’s hands

“Tell them you’re close. That you gave me severe injuries, and are just taunting me. Playing with your prey like a cat”

Huixin smiles, fading away into nothing as a frightened, confused civilian takes her place.

Just as it was about to pierce deep into her skin, the blade flew out of her hands, a thin red line of blood around her neck.

She let Ophelia embrace her “I’d rather die than let you get hurt.”

Huixin whispers softly, warm arms wrapping around Ophelia, resting her head on the shorter woman’s.

“But I’m not getting captured either.”

She repeats stubbornly. Huixin was conflicted. To escape would be to hurt Ophelia. But to surrender was another hell in itself

“Then I’d much rather you succeed.”

Huixin murmurs, placing a gentle hand on Ophelia’s cheek, savouring the moment, before stepping away and gripping the hilt of the blade once more.

As she backs away, Huixin unknowingly kicks a thin metal strip towards Ophelia. Just enough for her to pick the cuffs.

Huixin smiles and closes her eyes, moving the sword’s blade to her neck, a look of near peace on her face

“I didn’t. My family did”

Huixin smiles softly.

“Don’t struggle. If anything, it will only hurt. I have trust in Aleks that these ability restriction cuffs are effective”

In a more serious tone, she asks “You won’t be punished for your failure, will you? They’ve given you enough time…to eradicate us?”

She reaches out, one hand gently placed on Ophelia’s.

“Liang Hui Xin…You’re under arr-“

Ophelia was suddenly cut off by a bullet that decided to pierce her shoulder. Huixin nearly jumped out of her skin and turned around

“Yeah, I am. Thanks, Aleks”

Huixin flashed Aleksandr a small smile.

“Thanks. She can’t hurt anyone now. Evacuate the place, you, Shieta, Saeng-i….and anyone else alive. Give everyone a call, check up on where they are and tell them we’re moving. We’ll retreat to our backup base of operations.”

“I’ll handle things from here. Go make sure the rest of us are okay. Bring Shieta first so she can help whoever needs it”

Huixin turns to Ophelia, sitting down in the chair opposite hers

Thirty minutes is plenty of time to talk

And no, I’m sorry, Ophelia. But it’s either I die or…well, there really is only option.

But it’s okay. If you can’t kill me then…well I can’t escape. There’s no point. So I might as well just…

Huixin’s hand reached out for the blade, tracing a finger over it almost dreamily

“I can’t. You’re far more powerful”

Huixin agrees

“But I’m not going to accept being some toy of the government. I don’t want to fight….but I will if I have to.”

She pauses

“Are you really going to kill me, Opal? Because I’d be happier if you do it. All my affairs are in order, my family will function just fine without me. I’m ready to die

“I know”

“Too law abiding for my liking, Opal”

“Does it not? I don’t need to die for this to be over. That I doubt. The Elite Security Department wants me dead. Still, I rather you be the one to do it. I don’t want to do this….but I’m not going down without a fight.”

Huixin scoffed “To think I’d be brainwashed into submission, muzzled and restricted like some dog for the government. No thank you.”

“How many years has it been?”

“Time flies when you’re having fun messing with the government”

Huixin frowns at the next statement, a quieter “I held a grudge against you the moment you left me and chose….them instead”

Her voice was no more than a whisper, before she shook her head, the trace of hurt disappearing from her gaze, replaced by a steely glare.

“You’ve always been horrifyingly good at following orders. Enjoying the restrictive, oppressive government?”

Will do, Xuanji.

She types back quickly, before crushing said phone under her foot and tossing it out in the window. No way in hell was she endangering the kids. She’d rather die than ask the young hacker for help and risk losing someone she cared about.


“Opal. A pleasant surprise. I would say unpleasant, but we both know I’d be lying. Somewhat.”

The nickname rolls out almost lazily, Huixin’s eyes sharp yet somehow also….soft? as she looked at Ophelia.

Poor thing looked exhausted, and in need of a good hug. She shook that thought aside as soon as it came into her mind.

Standing up, she invited the latter to sit, hand tightly clutching the hilt of the opal-engraved sword, the light that shined on it reflecting a cursive “O.S”

“I know my own name, Miss Ophelia”

Huixin chuckles dryly, as she observes the ESA leader through the cameras.

“It’s like chess, is this not? You have to sacrifice some pieces to win. And the pawns are always first to die”

“You and I both know I would prepare for your arrival. So why not sit back and relax? You’ll have to come find me to capture me eventually. Might as well make the most of my time being comfortable”

“Come find me, Miss Ophelia. I’d love to chat”

Huixin’s heart picked up slightly when Ophelia bent the guns of her crew with ease. It fluttered traitorously, and for a fraction of a second she looked like she was swooning.

“No need for formalities, Miss Ophelia.”

“…My only order was to bring you and our top-level operatives back alive.”

Huixin barely flinched as her men dropped to the ground. Pawns were always sacrificed first in chess, after all. And those she cared about….? They should be safe.

“Come find me then. I’ll be waiting”

Huixin sat at her desk, leaning against the leather cushioning as sharp red eyes focused on the monitors in front of her.

Messages swarmed in from all departments, and she sighed

To Aleks:
“Yeah….i know. Do whatever you can to stay safe and attack.”

To Xuanji:
“Thanks…………stay safe. You and Poe. Abandon the drones if I tell you, and run.”

To Shieta:
“You and Saeng-i shouldn’t be fighting. I need my medics in tip-top shape in case of any casualties.”

Huixin used the intercoms once more as Ophelia entered
“I paid a lot for that door, you know? It’d be nice if you didn’t just crumple it up”

Aleks: “Naturally. I’ll inform Xuanji too, but wipe the servers. Leave nothing left…well, maybe you could leave them a nice little taunt as a joke. If you have the time”

Huixin’s eyes landed on the second message first, her mind focusing on the one that screamed ‘work’.

Aleks: “You? On a date? Well I never, but please go enjoy it. I’m sure the rat would thank you for one extra day that he breathes”

“Ready? Good job, Xuanji. This information is more important for Ldeya, so just update me when you tell her something yeah? Our standby ambulances should come around ten minutes after someone- anyone calls for help. I’ve made some calls and most medical staff will be busy, giving you the perfect time to deceive them. And drones are good, send four out.”

“Bombs? That’s a little too grand for how. But throw smoke bombs. Smoke bombs are an excellent distraction. Means the enemy can’t find us~”

“Oh, and Xuanji? Back up and wipe everything you don’t need right now. I’m not leaving anything for them to take. The ESA and their little government rulers will probably be trying to attack us, too. Send them a Trojan horse.”

The intercepted message soon popped up in bright red on Huixin’s phone.

“ESA Leader fully authorised to use abilities, Boss”

Huixin groans, her heart rate picking up ever so slightly.

Walking over to the intercoms, she spoke, voice ringing cold and clear throughout the base

“Lethal force has been authorised. She will come soon. All of you, the moment she uses them…you aim to kill.”

Huixin felt her heart drop even as she gave the order, an unexplainable pain coursing through her body.

But….family came first….right? Huixin closed her eyes and made a silent prayer that she wouldn’t use her powers. Even if she was more than capable of defending herself……it wasn’t worth risking it. Losing her.

More pictures came in, presumably from Xuanji. Wrong location…but there were only two other places the ESA leader could go. And Huixin had a sinking feeling the next one would be Ophelia’s lucky strike.

Typing out a quick message to Aleksandr, she replied
“You probably heard me, Aleks. Have a small team of no more than four working on identifying the rat. Burn that sh!thead in acid once you find them. I despise traitors. All others to be on standby to defend us.”

Huixin stared down at the message that had blocked her tracking of the live map. She frowned, typed out a reply, before deleting it to create a new one

Aleks:

Not this time, I think we can handle

“Yes. I’ll be around, she’s a danger to our little mafia family, isn’t she? We’ll need all hands on deck…plus I’m the boss, I should probably be there”

She stared blankly at the message she had just sent, silently praying that Ophelia’s permits hadn’t been approved yet. Maybe they would be able to have a decent conversation….without her mafia getting hurt. Or….or…her getting hurt.

Huixin sighed, distracting herself with the little live map again.

She was such a pain to deal with. Huixin just couldn’t discern how she felt towards the leader of the ESA.

Knowing her….she probably wouldn’t bring reinforcements along. It was likely going to be her, and her alone.

Huixin didn’t bother telling anyone that, though. After all, she could be wrong and it was better safe than sorry.

And she was pretty darn powerful. There wasn’t a need for backup when you had abilities like hers.

To Aleks: “Yeah. Please do. Ldeya’s out and safe, I’m not too worried about her, Shieta’s down with Xuanji, they will be fine. Check on Saeng-i and Liyue for me? I haven’t heard from them yet”

She stared out at the window, eyeing the main entrance warily, lost in thought as she swiped through the live map from Xuanji, waiting for a response and secretly hoping that she’d at least be able to see her

“Hi there, Aleksandr, and yeah. Right on time actually”

“You already know they’re coming. Mind helping me prepare the troops? Even if they do find us, I want to make sure it’s hell for them to get rid of us. I want everyone on alert, get them ready to defend themselves. Get them weapons too. I’d rather be safe than sorry with all the powers us special abilities users have.”

She quickly types this out to Aleksandr, before returning back to Xuanji, waiting for the child to reply.
