"You aren't fighting alone" Amaya said, serious.

"I am not.. but I do not want you to fight with me." Raven said seriously in response. Her tone, the way she was sitting was more defensive and more aggressive in her tone.

"Then who's fighting with you Raven? Blake?" she asked.

"I wanted to ask her to help me. However, I cannot in my knowledge request you or Amaya to fight with me. Doing this isn't just for me, but Blake's hand in our leaving. Blake and I have literal death marks on us, and we need to eliminate the problems."

When Blake asked to be my girlfriend I responded that I would, no matter what skeletons she held in her closet. I want to help," she said and the only way she would back down is if Blake, herself, said so.

"Then I leave it up to you and Blake to discuss this after we are done. I will not force you to stay out of it, Amaya will be with us but I do not want her to risk her health and safety." Raven was defensive. She was overly protective of Amaya and fully trusting in Blake's skills as the two fought together before. She wouldn't decline Amaya helping if she wanted, but she wasn't goign to ask her.

"Love...is this because of my past with him?" Amaya asked softly.

"It's because of my past with him." Raven sighed softly.

"I understand, and I know you don't want me to get hurt...but I don't want to just do nothing while you are fighting him," she said softly. She also saw Blake talking with Yang about something and assumed it was about her role in fighting Leonus and possibly Adam as well in the future.

"I never said you wouldnt' do anything." Raven smirked, "You may not have a combat role, but you can put to use your gathering skills. Information, anything you can remember. That's why I trust you to tell me half the stuff compared to the notes. Your memory is more trustworthy. Observe, even from the shadows. Where he wants us to meet will have to have something that will give us a greater indication of things to come."

Amaya nodded at that. "True, I can do that" she admitted. "And Yang and Blake should just stay in the shadows for now while we observe him, see if they see something that I may miss," she commented with a light nod.

"Well... I'd like to discuss this more with all three of you." Raven turned to them, "If Yang is going to come then I have an idea for what we could do. It's tricky, and Yang probably will not like it but I think I now how to make this all work."

"Let me here it first before you decide on me liking it or not," Yang responded before a waitress came towards them. Apologizing for taking so long, the two girls waved it off since it was so busy and asked both Yang and Blake what they wanted to drink.

Raven waited for the waitress to leave to get the orders, taking another sip of her tea she looked out from the balcony. The moment the waitress was gone she spoke. "Me and Blake will confront Leonus ourselves. Amaya will do recon and observe to find anything useful out. Yang... I want you to watch over Amaya. Leonus may not confront us alone even if he claims he will."

"Love, I can take care of myself," Amaya commented, not wanting to force Yang into babysitting her.

"I'm not saying you cannot, but I'd rather us be in pairs if things go south. If Leonus has more goons around, taking care of things in pairs would make it easier and safer... as safe as we can make things considering what we are doing." She explained he reasoning.

"Don't think of me as a babysitter, but more of a safety net. Plus I know it will put both of our girlfriends at ease." Yang commented. She had a feeling that both Blake and Raven were worried that since they were human, they would become targets. Doubly so due to their relationships.

Raven laughed softly, "I'm looking more like temp partner. I trust you two with the other side of things. I know Yang loves to be in the middle of the chaos but at the same time, her strength will be useful keeping stuff off our backs."

Yang nodded. "There's that too. My 'lovelies' as Ruby calls them are good for long range or short range," Yang said with a light laugh as she took a small sip of her coffee once she used a little milk and cream to deaden the taste of pure coffee. Her dad and uncle might be able to drink it like that, but not her.

"And I've fought along side Raven before, so we know how to compliment each other." Blake commented as she took a drink of her tea.

Raven nodded, "And Amaya's semblance will be the most handy if things get dicey." She smiled, putting a hand on Amaya's leg.

Amaya blushed lightly as she noticed where Raven's hand was, but didn't say anything about it.

"Have you ever figured out if it's just you that she can go ghost with or can she do it with anyone?" Yang asked the couple.

"We haven't. I wasn't going to push that thought on Amaya yet... unless she found out when I wasn't around." Raven admitted, since there were times they left her alone while she was recovering.

"No I haven't tried it yet. I wanted to make sure you were there, just in case something went wrong and I needed help," Amaya admitted. before taking another sip of her Hot Cocooa

"Then that should be something. I believe he's waiting for me to have a full bill of health before starting the one week timer. I believe that timer will start tomorrow. He has eyes on campus, this I know. The nurse said I should be fully cleared as of noon tomorrow." Raven admitted.

"So...if he has eyes on campus, how do we get around him and his spies?" Yang asked, quite curious now. "I don't want to be paranoid either but...do you think this Adam person has his eyes on Blake?" she asked, feeling her kitty tense at the question.
