'The Girl at the Base'

The Door clanked shut behind the two as they went in, and The two found themselves standing in another corridor, this time the same as of the mid-dark corridors of the Calcutta Undercity, from which the two were more familiar with.

"Corridors and Corridors- Halter's base is like a corridor fortress.", Raiden said; joking on the fact that they were constantly walking from one corridor to another all this while.

"Well, I hear the place was build at a former Outpost of the Military and it was connected to the Undercity as well.", Niloy stated.

"Hmm.. Interesting."

Suddenly, Raiden realized something.

"Eh...Surveillance Cameras-", Raiden exclaimed; giving a vague look on the Cameras recording their each and every movement.

"Heh...Erbin is little bit of a Brainy person.", Niloy chuckled; and continued- "There! That's the entry Door over there-"

Niloy advanced towards the Vault-door like thing he pointed his fingers on.

As Raiden and Niloy came close to the Circular and much stronger door, a metal screeching was heard- and the opening wheel on the door turned from the other side; making the two step back in a bit of a reflex.

Raiden and Niloy looked towards each other.

Suddenly, A hissing sound was heard, and the tight shut door loosened up.

"Come in!"

A female voice came from inside.

.

.

Niloy gave a smile to Raiden's face- and pushed the door gently.

The Door slid opened slowly.

Before them was everything they didn't expected of to be here.

It was a dazzling hall, and it was well lit and fit with enough lavish furnishings to be taken as no less than a Three star residence of the Upper City.

Added to them, Around two dozens of people of every peculiarlity were present there, drinking or enjoying themselves.

And yeah, if to mention what more was beyond expectations was that Ishan was there, on a table of four, with a person Raiden can't get recognition of.

"You are free to enter, Masters!", The sweet looking waitress spoke in a flowery voice.

Raiden and Niloy entered the hall, and started approaching straight to where Ishan was sitting.

But, As the two took a step or more, Three beauties came out of nowhere, stopping their ways with their eyes, Eyes which were more like beautifully carved with craft than to be natural.

Clasping Niloy's hands with their delicate hands, they flirted past him, almost captivating him into their seduction.

"Not today."

He chuckled, and smiled his way to clearance- leaving Raiden to their clutches.

.

.

"Hey Ishan! You are here-", Niloy greeted Ishan with a quick pat on his shoulders, and sat on the chair in front of him.

"...Eh...Niloy? Raiden brought you 'ere?", Ishan spoke out; with a bit of mixed expressions on his face as well as tone of voice.

"Yeah! He did. I mean He told me to accompany him, and I took him down 'ere to get to you.", He continued- "Fairly, We didn't expected you to be 'ere. At least, I did had not a single bit of..."

"...Expectation.", Raiden's voice came from behind, completing the sentence Niloy was trying to say out.

"Eh...You are a hard nut. So hard that it's hard to crack you for them too.", Niloy said jokingly, as Raiden came out of the Girl Barrier.

"You speak like I mean it. I don't care about these things at all.", Raiden chuckled, and sat down.

"So? You made my things easy or made my things bad?", Raiden spoke to Ishan.

"And...What you mean by sayin' that?", Ishan answered with a certain uneasiness in his voice.

"You know what you have to say. Must I spill the beans down 'ere?", Raiden exclaimed; scanning the around hall with his eyes.

Niloy looked towards Raiden's face. It was a face of a man in his thirties, just the same as him- and he had sensed something wrong definitely, to burp such words out of his mouth.

Niloy's eyes moved towards the people sitting in the hall, next to their table- a group of people wearing same uniforms were sitting, while to their next, a girl with a man of great physique was sitting, with their eyes fixing towards Raiden every next second.

Niloy got a hunch of what Raiden meant.

.

.

"Master Robin. I don't think you will need to do that.", A female voice appeared from nowhere. Niloy's eyes curiously turned around to find the source of it.

It was the person sitting beside Ishan all this while. Silent as she was, her existence to Niloy was least than all. Afterall, Her face was buried in her cap and scarf, which was identical to Ishan's; and it was easy to percieve that the person sitting beside, was just; an assistant of Ishan or companion.

"Master Niloy! Don't think too much about me. I am just an ordinary person.", The Girl suddenly spoke out, startling Niloy's thoughts to it's end.

"Ordinary...Eh? I am thinking about you...Eh?", Niloy continued- "Aye-Aye, Missy! You have every right to be right about it."

Niloy chuckled, and calmly took the glass of wine kept on the table.

"Hah..You exactly sound the same as I have heard of you to be.", The Girl wearing cap chuckled softly.

"Well, I seem to have a liking to hear about what you have heard about this brat.", Raiden entered the conversation; looking straight at the girl's face- buried in her red scarf and Coal black flirtous hair.

"Master Robin, I thought you would know about your brother's deeds.", The girl caressed her hair and said.

"You are making it sound suspicious and mysterious. Niloy is sure my brother, But his deeds have nothing to do with my knowledge of him or anyone.", Raiden said; without changing his tone of voice.

"Ah...I see.", The girl slowly moved her hands inside her overcoat, and a moment of pause followed the scenario in an immediate.

"Hey...What do you think you want to do?", Ishan spoke up in a reflex, holding to stop the girl's hand as firm as he could.

"Oh dear, Did I bother you?"

The Girl smiled under her cap; hiding her face.

Raiden noticed her hands had a clasp on something; Something that she had still under her overcoat. But, He had no idea what it can be.

"You came here to revenge your brother, Don't you?"

Niloy broke the silence all of a sudden.

Raiden was surprised. He looked at Niloy's face. Calm as it was; It seemed he was fairly certain about what he was saying out.

But, Still- Raiden can't think of anything what Niloy has done so bitter, that someone has came to take revenge on him.

.

.

The Girl took off the cap with her another hand; revealing a face, Raiden didn't expected to see anyhow.

"Alina!", Raiden spoke out; in a burst of surprise and losing of mind.

His eyes had frozen wide open; and It seemed he had seen a thing that's more scarier than a terrific ghost.

He tried to speak; but his words got clogged up with his shaking tongue.

"Y-You a-are Alive?", Three words came out of his mouth; barely not being ruined by his stutter on his words this time.

The Girl gave off a ghostly smile; and took out a busty big gun clasped tightly in her hands from the depths of her overcoat. Seemed that was the thing, She had clasped all this while.

Raiden's face was more scrambled than ever; And it seemed he forgot any instinct of defense seeing the terrific smile on the girl's face.

The face; he was more familiar than his own past.

Her scarf fell off as she swiftly stood up, revealing her slender, but built figure covered with a leather overcoat; of which a length of the upper part was unchained enough to reveal up her armour; it's metal lining shining in the facade of the glow of lights fitted in the hall.

"So, Master Niloy! It's my vengeance then."

The Girl said; as the whole hall seemed frozen in the moment.

Her hands moved; and with them her gun's barrel- coldly pointed at the heart of Niloy.

*Doom!*
