(Yeah, he had better not be calling me a fish brain! I will agree though the Jagged cat candidate does have a reputation.)
(Reputation?)
(He is completely a soaked frog, a cat with nothing but fluff in his skull. He will be the first to die for sure.)
(Then why is he in this?)
(I believe the best translation is the word politics.)
"So what about the savior team cats?" I asked, "I assume the ones you mentioned are the destroy ones?"
"Not all that sure, Stripe seems hesitant to talk about them with anyone outside the team. Sorry, I am sure he will warm up to you." Noah frowned clearly having his own silent conversation.
"Word of advice," I commented, "Do not show your emotions all over your face like that. You look like you are a mental case."
"See!" Kyle nudged Noah, "Even she noticed in under a minute."
Noah looked annoyed and turned back into a full cat. He continued down the stairs leaving dilapidated concrete in his wake.
"Forget it." Noah called back at us, "Let's find a game plan already, where is this room you spoke of."
I led them to it and held open the door carefully. At least this one was metal. I let it swing shut behind us and was slightly proud of leaving no marks.
"Okay so have you tested his stats? Where are their weaknesses that we can exploit?" I asked directing my question toward Kyle. "Can we use any normal weapons against them?"
Noah gave me a concerned look, "She isn't going to kill me right?"
"Just do not let your cat take over your body and you should be fine." Kyle replied as Noah turned a little pale.
"Relax, I hate cats not you. I will just pull the cat out first." I said in a half joking manner but my eyes stayed serious.
"Right." Noah turned away but I noticed he kept one eye constantly on me as we continued talking.
"So the big issue is control right? So why you sitting down, lets lift some barbells!" Kyle said picking some up and motioning to the rest.
Oooh! I thought, I can test his strength. Then frowned, no actually nothing nearby would work, he would just destroy it all.
(Hey Snow, do these cats have roughly the same stats? Is the tiger the same as your snow leopard?)
(Please do not even joke about comparing us, the snow leopards have always been superior.)
(So you are stronger, by how much?)
(Well they might have us beat in a direct strength contest.)
I frowned, once again my source is unreliable.
(Okay what do you beat them in?)
(We are mighty snow leopards! There is no comparison. But I suppose you could say tigers are stronger, but we are faster, more nimble, better climbers, and obviously better in total.)
(Right, and these other cats are?)
(Pathetic evil and deserving of death!)
(Okay what about species? Do they all have an Earth counterpart?)
(Obviously! Your wildcats are just the few bonded enjoying a vacation without a can opener.)
(So they are?)
(Well not all wildcats, of course some clans are smaller branches and do not have participants or are branches but on other sides of the conflict.)
(Can you please get to the actual question.)
( Yeah fine, destroy is the lion true cat candidate Pride, yourself, the lynx, jaguar, and our small is the bobcat clan.)
(Small?)
(Do not let their looks be deceiving the Dart clan has their own specialties.)
(Interesting and the savior team?)
(Night is a black panther, the tigers, mountain lion, cheetah, and small is the wildcats.)
(Sounds annoyingly complicated)
(Why don't you just learn to walk for now and stop asking questions then.)
(This is important info!)
(Yep going to do you lots of good if you die on the first encounter.)
(Fine okay.)
(Good now ditch work and lets go run!)
(I'm still not ditching work.)
(We are going to get eaten alive, litter-ally!)
He scoffed and seemed to go to sleep inside me, which was terrible! I felt his little sleep purrs and meows vibrating my head. I am not going to be able to concentrate on anything!
Kyle and Noah departed for the day saying they would be back the day after tomorrow and I waved them off.
I went up to the roof to breathe as Snow woke back up. I was finally managing to move normally and control my movements. I hadn't broken anything since my lunch tray.
(Finally they are gone.)
(Well aren't you nice company.)
(Now we can train again, the sky's dark and everything.)
(We are on a roof, a government building roof, swarming with agents.)
(Then I suggest you do not break the roof.)
(Dumb cat, I won't break the roof its thick and I have better control now but someone will hear the noise if we start training.)
(Oh this exercise will be fine. You will be moving too fast anyway. The goal is to be a ghost.)
(Oh will I turn invisible?)
(No.)
(Lame. Okay what am I doing then?)
(Super simple see that other roof? All you have to do is jump from roof to roof.)
(WHAT!)
(Good right? I just came up with it, good for walking, running, balance, control-)
(Snow we are not jumping off roofs.)
(Sure we can, you won't break from a simple fall like that, it would take at least ten stories to injure you and like fifty to kill.)
(I am referring to property damage!)
(Do you actually care, it isn't your roof.)
(You have a point. You know what sure, sounds cool like a ninja.)
I stood on the edge and looked down the three stories, I am not going to regret this right? Plus they all have home insurance, if they don't it's really their fault not mine.
I pulled out my phone and quickly hacked the roof cameras to loop.
Then I took a few strides back then turned, white fur covered me and claws came out.
(We mighty snow leopards need to be the best right Snow? Make me into the best killer around.)
Then I launched myself forward and into the air, I flinched as a déjà of playground swings hit me and quickly snapped out of it to land on the next roof.
I winced, that definitely made noise, a trail of ripped shingles lay behind me.
(Better keep moving.)
I hissed back at him in my head.
I might be going a little crazy but only the amount a normal rational human with a cat in their head would. I am not one of those insane people.
