AllFall

Confusion struck me when he said that, "Its not my birthday."

Then I got onto the chopper and saw it. Everyone came up behind me and gently guided me closer since I was standing stock still in surprise. It- it was a-

"AllFall," the Baron said with a mischievous smile, "I present to you: your birthday suit."

My hands clasped to my mouth to keep from laughing and crying at the same time. The suit was black, like the others, but the secondary color was crimson and on the arms were upgraded versions of the prototype shuriken throwers that Thread Walker used at the mall attack. It was beautiful.

"Well," Doug shoved me forward, "get in it! We'd all 'love' to see you in your birthday suit!"

"Which one?" I joked and everything seemed just right as my friends... my... family surrounded me. Are... are they really my family now? I've only had contact with the Angels once and my biological family is pretty much dead. I swiped at the tears building up in my eyes.

"Awww, she's getting all emotional." Alien commented.

"Why don't I have one?" Waya asked but by his expression it was some sort of inside joke.

Alien rolled his eyes, "You ask that at all of these 'birthdays'."

"''Tis my ritual." He said.

"We TRIED," the Baron said, "to make you three but your powers blew them all up. Now AllFall! C'mon! Don't mind him, he's just joking."

I went over to the pod that it was encased in and the back opened up for me. I slipped into the suit and then the front of the pod opened. I felt... well like bat man! I have been in Angel armor but the gear on this suit is probably closer to a Templar's gear in tech... not size though. There actually has never been a female Templar before that I can recall...

Once I got back to the group there was another man with a camera.

I gasped, "Where the hell was HE at?"

My filtered voice startled him and myself causing a laugh to escape my lips. Then it came out filtered and made me laugh even more.

"Alright!" The Baron said as he came up to me and helped unclip my hood and then take off my helmet, "Family picture! Hold that helmet high!"

We all bundled together and we all smiled for the picture. I held the helm high with one arm like it was a trophy. The camera flashed and then the Baron said, happier then I have ever seen him,

"Crazy pic!"

I held my arms out like I was about to cast a spell on the group below me, Walker stuck her tongue out and caused one eye to go to the side, MasterLock pretended to be on a saddle, Sara pretended to be scared of me, Obsidian blushed from Doug wrapping his arm around her and making a screamo face, Alien smirked evilly and Waya... wasn't going to do anything. The Baron grabbed Waya just before the shot and noogied him when the camera flashed.

Everyone congratulated me and then the Baron was helping me get the helmet back on.

"Now we just need to run you through some training exercises back at the mansion."

Alien's voice came into my ear, "That's my newest suit, equipped with the best gear I have developed thus far, and the helmet has a built in phone so we won't have that ONE situation again."

"Can you hear me?" The Baron said and I nodded.

"Can you hear me?" Alien purred on my com and I nodded.

Everything was if I weren't even wearing a helmet.

"Loud and clear guys."

"Alright!" The Baron said with a smile, "Now wear that suit proud!"

A co-pilot busted through the door, "Cuban AA! Get dow-"

"Obsidian!" The Baron said but to late.

Then metal screamed and a hole ripped through the helicopter. The sudden change in air pressure sucked at us in a vacuum. My heavy metal feet scratched the floor as everyone else was pulled off their feet. Those closest to the hole were Sarah and Walker. Waya electromagnetically made clefts in the metal floor for them to grab and Sarah found hers while Walker screamed as she tumbled out of the helicopter.

"WALKER!" The Baron screamed and he prepared to jump after her without a parachute and Alien tackled him, the pressure was equalized as the Baron tried to shake Alien off.

But, on impulse, my feet clomped over and I leapt over them both in the Cuban flak and sirens sounding in my ears from below. However there was something that alarmed me when I flipped over them...

The Baron's eyes were green...
