Warnings : More pairing hinting (for pairing #3), and general cuteness.
Note : // telepathy

"That is how the eight of us will destroy Estet." Crawford glances around the room, taking in the reactions of the others. Ken and Schuldig looked like they were having an argument via Schuldig's Telepathy. Omi and Nagi were already having a discussion on tactics, both ones that he had suggested and some of their own variations. Youji was looking bored, for the most part, and Aya seemed to be watching Farfello, who was stopped poking at the chair and was working on adding to the pattern already sliced into his arm.

~~~~~~~~~~

Ken glared at Schuldig. //If they're anything like you say, I want to be clear of them, period.//

//You're just afraid because they've got powers.// Schuu smirked. //You've got powers now, too.//

//Only when they lights are out.//

~~~~~~~~~~

Omi shook his head as he studied one of the dozen printouts Crawford has handed over to him and Nagi. "We'd put too much at risk to put someone there." Omi pointed to one of the computer terminals on the map. "Maybe if we went in through the ceiling..."

"There is the skylight." Nagi leaned against Omi so that he could better see the map, then pointed himself. "And it'll provide nice access to the vent system." For some reason, Nagi mussed to himself, Weiss seemed to have been meant to work with Schwartz. It felt right to work strategy with Omi like this.

~~~~~~~~~~

//Kenken.// Schuldig's mental voice was a chuckle. //Take a look at Omi and Nagi. Be subtle. Cute, eh?//

//Very.// Ken snickered out loud. //So what are we doing tonight?//

//The norm.//

//Make Brad's life hell?//

//Yep.//

~~~~~~~~~~

"Aya, make HIM stop staring at me." Youji demanded, giving Farfello a long, careful look.

"Farfello isn't actually watching you." Aya leaned forward in his seat, placing his elbows on his knees. "He's just watching Crawford."

"What?"

"In the window, behind you." Aya waved a hand in a general gesture. "Farfello, come here and sit down." His gesture started to indicate the ground near his seat. Surprisingly, Farfello sat down in the indicated spot.

"You scare me, Aya." Youji's green eyes seemed the size of dinner plates.

~~~~~~~~~~

//Did Farfie just OBEY Aya?// Ken stared at the scene as he broadcast the through at Schuldig.

//Yeah.// Schuldig's mental voice sounded shell-shocked. //I'm not even gonna touch this one. I don't think I WANT to know the motivation...//

//Don't blame you.// Ken stood up. "Brad, do you really think that just... barging in there like that is a good idea?"

"That's just part of the plan." Bradley groaned. "It'll just be you, me and Schuldig making the forward attack. Youji, Aya, and Farfello will be coming in the back. Nagi and Omi come in from above as surveillance. I just covered that."

"But, I don't have any real Powers." Ken finally gave up on not admitting to his fears. "I wouldn't have a chance against them..."

"Schuldig's the only one with a real chance, actually." Crawford smirked at Ken. "Not even I have a real chance. Logic says to send Nagi into the think of things. But until I moved him off with Omi, the future wasn't a pretty thing.

"So that's why you took so long to share the plan." Ken shook his head. "But where are all the details?"

"They're Omi and Nagi's part." Crawford shrugged. "Things were very foggy until I decided that they could handle it better than I could."

"So, you created a detail-less plan?" Aya stared at him in disbelief.

"And you think it will work?" Youji added.

"I know it will work.

~~~~~~~~~~

"I don't see how Crawford can just trust the two of us like this." Omi stared out the window of Nagi's room. The two of them had been working since the mourning meeting where Brad had roughed out the plan and left the details to himself and Nagi.

"He does it all the time." Nagi shrugged, eyes narrowed in concentration as he used his telekinesis to type. "You get used to it after awhile."

"I guess it would be a matter of getting used to it." Omi paged through the sheets Crawford had given them, comparing the carious layouts with the rough of the details he and Nagi had worked out for Brad's plan. "I'm still not sure of this, though." He traced over the path he and Nagi were listed as taking. "Have you been able to get anything?"

"There's an incredible level of security." Nagi's typing stopped for a moment. "I keep having to back out to keep from being detected."

"The other variable is Farfello being teamed up with Youji and Aya." Omi absently traced the line his two friends and the resident Psychopath were to be taking. It was a given that Youji would be in the group entering through the back, he was the only one with teh required lock-cracking skills. "Sending Farfello seems like an attempt to get rid of Youji and Aya."

"You didn't see IT, did you?"

"See what?"

"Farfello listened to Aya." Nagi still sounded stunned. "He barley listened to ME, Aya and Youji will be fine. Common, lets take a break. We're not getting anywhere anymore."
