Luna took a deep breath and clenched her hands before releasing. They shook a little less than earlier, "I-I'm fine. J-Just ready to get th-this over with."

('Damian' shod go to the kids!!)
“Me too,” Cyrus sighed, “So what’s the plan? Bait them with me?”
"H-hopefully we're just going t-to sneak in," Luna responded with a slight huff, "N-no distraction needed. A-at least that's my plan."
Sparrow stopped listening and took 9ut three small silver balls. She threw them towards the group that was training and they stopped. A few seconds later sounds of confusion were yeard and Sparrow very calmly started walking towards the door of the guild.
“Security is probably only rising. Sneaking seems too difficult at this point. Besides, they’re not going to kill me right away. That much is certain.”
Cyrus climbed down from his horse’s back.
Luna let out a sigh as she watched Sparrow. She got off her horse and began walking after her. She pulled up her mask to cover most of her face and whipped out her bow then nocked an arrow, "O-or we could do that."
“Uhhh what the hell?” Cyrus gasped.
He still followed. Even if the idea looked stupid, he was hellbent on protecting his friends.
"Tear gas, I've blinded them." She said once they caught up to her. "I'm thinking Panther didn't erase our fingerprints from the database, but if we try to come in that way, it will alert him." She thought outside loud
"I-I could always just shoot the s-scanner," Luna offered, "A-and the lock on the door."
“Right, but still feels like we’re practically barging in,” Cyrus warned.
He sighed.
“But that’s not to say I have any better ideas.”
"Do you guys remember the kitchens trap door we used as kids? We would hide there and escape from the second door to head up to the roof. If we can manage to up to the roof without being seen, we might be able to get inside."
“I think you might be onto something,” Cyrus said.
He adjusted some of his gear and made sure his knee brace was on well enough.
Luna nodded and began to find an area of the wall that could be easily scaled, "L-Let's go then. N-No point in waiting."
“I’ll hold up the rear,” Cyrus said, making some final adjustments before followingthe other two assassins.
Luna slung her bow on her back as she started scaling up. Her shaking hands made climbing a bit harder than she would've liked, but she could get up the wall just fine.
The click of Uriah's door was heard when Jax walked back through. "We have some people we want you to meet." Jax waved Uriah over. His body was still in great pain, but he went anyway. Going down many stairs, Jax lead him to the basement. Five doors down, there were two guards on one door. "Who's in there?" Jax just jerked his head and started waking. The guards moved to the side and Uriah looked through the window. "Kids?" His eyes left them and on to Jax. "Not just any kids. They are expert assassins, some of the best. The only thing is, they are with the other guild. Damian, they killed your dad, mom and sister, all on the command of the other guild they work for." A bit of flashbacks came to mind. His mom, dad and sister all smiling and enjoying a day out, then… A deep feeling of anger filled him up inside. "We need you to kill them. If they escape they will kill more, and you are one of the best assassins we have." Which was not a lie. With Sparrow's training and the relentless training from here, he has become one of the best. "I'm not sure I can do that."
Esmae opened her eyes and looked around at all the other kids, before banging on the door again, it was only about three times before she saw who was standing on the otherside of the door, staring back at her. "Uriah."
Katya looked up at Esmae, "What do you mean Uriah?"
“Uriah!” Vida cried out, “You’re okay?!”
Cyrus caught sight of Luna’s shaking and quietly asked how she was.
Luna took a breath and nodded before pulling herself up onto the roof, "I-I'm f-fine."
Nathan looked up and sighed in relief "hes here to save us!" He cried. Then he frowned "guys, why does he looks mad at us?"
Sparrow got to the top and reached down a hand to help the others
"I mean Uriah." Pointing to the glass she stood with a smile on her face, but it soon disappeared. The look on Uriah's face was foriegn to her. She's never seen him like that, so much fury. His eyes were dark and dull, almost like her saw right into her and knew everything. No matter how strong you were a look that like would send shivers down anyone's spine. And it did down Esmae's. "What? D-Don't look at me like that." She was frozen in place unable to move away from those eyes.
Katya stood up and walked over to look at him through the door. She thought for a second as he almost glared at all of them, "I don't think he recognizes us Esmae. Maybe they took his memories too?"
“I think he’s mad at us because we caused more trouble!” Vida squeaked.
Cyrus made sure Luna got up alright and pulled himself to the top. He checked their surroundings.
Luna looked around and found the trapdoor easily being the one who had probably used it the most. Her hands were still shaking and she muttered curses in Spanish to herself, "C-come on. Th-there's no one here."
Cyrus places a firm grip on Luna’s shoulder. He understood her fear and anxiety and wanted to do what he could to keep her composed.
"Too?" And that's when it hit her. She had completely forgotten that everyone else here had their memories wiped, she was the only one who didn't. "Are you saying they develop a new way to erase memories? They must be using him as a guinea pig."
"Well, you are still recovering, so we don't have to do that now." Going to put his hand on Uriah's shoulder, before he even touched it, Uriah grabbed his hand and threw it away from him. "Leave me be." Jax internally smiled. Uriah was a monster, extremely strong and now he didn't care about who got in his way. Jax was glad he was the one they chose for this. He was going to help the guild a lot. "Alright." Jax held up his hands in defense, "You're the boss." Walking out Uriah went back to his room and locked the door. All he wanted was to be left alone for a bit.
Luna let out a deep breath before hopping down the trap door. She wanted to get in and out as fast as humanly possible before her composure broke. All they needed was to get the kids and Uriah and then they could book it.
Katya nodded at where Uriah had been, "Must be."
Sparrow shone a light in the narrow hallway and walked ahead. "This passage has a couple other paths too. I cant remember if we ever used them." She muttered
"I-I did," Luna said looking through the paths trying to keep her breathing under control, "M-Me and Z-Zoe used th-these regularly. M-Maybe we sh-should split up. Y-you guys go after th-the kids. A-And I'll see if I-I can find Uriah?"
