Xavier walked into the Hideout, messing with the cuffs on his suit. He looked around, not seeing anybody. "Guess I'm early."

Velia coughed from the corner of the room, a small smile placed on her lips. She had a knack for creeping around.

Xavier waved at her, leaning against a nearby wall.

Velia was perched in a somewhat cat-like position of the arm of a chair, surprisingly she found it rather comfortable. "Hopefully the others will come soon..."

"Hopefully" Xavier Went back to playing with his cuff.

Andre came walking into the hideout, shaking and flailing his arm. A few moments into the shaking, a small cat went flying off of his arm, hissing and swating at him. "Man, I just don't have good luck with felines!" He exclaimed, kicking the cat in the face and turning around to see Xavier and Velia. "Oh, uh... hi!"

"Hello, and you are?" Xavier asked, quite rudely.

Andre bowed his head and smiled at the two. "I am Andre." He said simply, going over and sitting down on the chair that Velia was perched on.

Xavier looked to the pocket watch he kept in his pocket then leaned his head back against the wall.

Andre kept himself busy by wiping the bleeding wounds hehad gotten from the cat's teeth. He gave a low grumble and tied it up with a peice of cloth he tore from his shirt a long time ago.

Reece slammed open the door, making the other three jump a little. "Gentlemen!-Oh sorry, and lady." He smiled, "We have a mission ahead of us."

Xavier stood up strait. "That we know, that's why we're here."

"Yeah yeah, as long as it doesn't involve felines I'm ready for it." Andre said, readjusting himself in the chair

Reece rolled his eyes, "Yes rest assured, none will be involved as far as I know. Now, the plan!" His eyes brightened as he explained, "We hit up the bank just outside of the city. It is headquarters to God knows how many different banks around the state-better yet, the nation. I've dug up enough research to find the exact members that helped build the security system. So, we get inside, get acquainted with the members and take the money and run like there's no tomorrow!"

"Sounds simple enough, what's the catch?" Andre asked halfheartedly.

"The catch? What catch? Who said anything about a catch?" Reece asked innocently

"Bull, whenever someone gives a plan that simple, there's a catch. Usually a big one." Xavier said, calmer than he was while waiting for the others to arrive.

Reece cleared his throat, "Well we go to the chameleons."

"Catches suck hard ass..." Andre said harshly, twirling the eyebrow piercing boredly.

"Don't think of it so much as a catch." Reece glared, "More like 'finding an accomplace' if you may."

"Well, I could do that while you guys get all "ready" for this damn plan...." Andre suggested, staring at Reece.

"Right well before anything, we need to have a little chat wit h the chameleons." Reece smirked

"Well, whatever works for you.." Andre stood himself up and walked towards the door of the hideout. "I'm going to get a dog, maybe he'll keep the damn cats away."

"I see you all started without me." Del said lightly, entering the door with a familiar looking cat cradled in her arms. She stroked the cat, calming it down while it glared at Andre.

"Ah look Andre, your best friend!" Reece said, patting the cat's head, "Now then, who's coming with me to the chameleons?"

"I'll pass." Del said, scratching the cat behind the ears as she flopped down into a chair. "I've got a job ahead of me calming Zeta down." She said, meaning the cat.

Xavier walked over to the small huddle. "I'll go"

Andre gave a low growl, but then suddenly stopped and turned back to the door. "Just watch that damn cat Del, maybe it'll play dead for my dog.." He taunted wholeheartedly, turning and walking back to the group. "i'll go, but on the way back to the base I'm stopping to get a Doberman."

"You keep whatever dog you get away from my cats." Del said, her eyes narrowing. "They don't like 'em. I've seen 'em do some pretty fucked up shit to things they don't like."

"If they hurt my dog I'll call in a damn exterminator and have them exterminated like the furry cockroaches they are." Andre fired back, glaring at Del.

Del grinned, doing a very good impression of her cats. "Better men than you have tried." She said enigmatically. Then she snapped back to her usual cool expression and said "If you don't want to deal with that, then keep your dog away from my cats. They were here first."

"You weant to know why I don't like cats? They are so stuck up, there is no point to them. They love you only if they want something, at least with a dog they love you to love you, not just showing affection to be fed, let out, or even pet. They love you out f pure nature, but cats? Cats are just stuck up beasts that don't even deserve to live on this planet.. Kind of like you, Del." Andre sneered.

"Sticks and stones, Andre." Del said, chuckling. "As you said, dogs love just to love. Even after abuse, deprivation, and death." She resumed scratching Zeta behind the ears. "Unlike cats. Maybe they're just too intelligent for you to comprehend?"

"I think we best go before these two attack each other like the animals they love so much." Xavier said, opening the door.

"Yeah, 'cept they learn tricks, learn who to trust and attack those who are enemies, protect everyone they like, and even the ones they don't like but their master's order them to protect. What can you teach a cat, how to run to a can opener when it's hungry? Pft, ugly beasts they are too... Well anyways, at least dogs have a point on this planet." Andre looked at Xavier and gave a low sigh. "Yeah, the sooner we get out of here, the sooner I can get some dogs."

"Dogs still need to be taught to trust." Del said ominously. Waving cheerfully after the departing trio, she called "Have fun! And remember what I said. Alpha doesn't like dogs on his turf."

Andre gave a low growl back to Del and her cats and just kind of slinked out of the base with the others.

Velia couldnt help but laugh, it was not often she witnessed arguments about animals.

"Alright. Xavier, Andre." Reece acknowledged the two, "Let's head out." With that, the three left for the Chameleon Headquarters.

---

On his way back to the hideout, Andre picked up a couple Doberman pups at the pet store. He walked in with them, holding them both up against his torso as he walked into the building. "I swear, if that ugly cat so much as touches my dogs I'll stomp it's head staright into the ground." He stated firmly, setting his dogs on the ground and watching them run around. He had gotten them collars and tags while he was at the pet store, and he was told that they already had their shots so he just decided to get them.

Velia looked at the pups skeptically, she couldnt help but smile slightly, they were cute. She only prayed that they were house trained. She looked up at Andre, "Yours, I presume? Do they have names?"

"Both females, Tasha and Bou." Andre said to Velia, watching the pups wrestling restlessly and yapping excitedly. He grinned widely and looked at Velia. "They are gonna grow up to be the best cat eaters..."

"Thats a somewhat barbaric thing to say." Velia grinned at him, unlike Andre she had no preference between cats and dogs, she liked all animals and they liked her it seemed. She sat on the floor, holding a hand out for the pups to sniff.

"Well, only the cats that bother me then." Andre restated, crossing his arms and smiled at Velia. "But, I guess you weren't kidding when you said they must like you.." He said as the puppies barreled into Velia's stomach, yipping and wagging their cropped tail and licking at her arms.

Velia fell backwards laughing as she did so, the onslaught of the pups was somewhat surprising. It was nice to feel appreciated, even if it was by two over excited pups.

"Hm." Andre walked over to the chair and sat down, yawning and leaning his head back to rest against the back of the chair. "Want to help me train them?"

"Sure. I dont have anything better to do." Velia smiled, she was now sat cross-legged on the floor, looking up at him.

"Not today, I'm just gonna let them play around today.." Andre opened his eyes and looked around, searching for rhe cat. "Hey, did that damn cat do anything with my few belongings that I have here?" He asked curiously, picking up one of the puppies that attacked his pant legs.

"I normally have nothing better to do, so tomorrow, the next day... any time is good." Velia smiled before looking thoughtful, "I don't know, I was, kind of, in my own world..." It was true, Velia did have a habit of day-dreaming.

"The cats have better things to do than mess around with your crap." Del said, walking in with a pitch black cat sitting on top of her head. "They're not felons, just tricksters."

"Meh.." Andre said simply, petting the pup on the top of her head and staring down at her. "Which one do you think will be bigger? The shop owner said that this was the first born, Tasha, and she was the runt, Bou."

"They may both be the same size.." Velia was now leant against a chair with her eyes closed, content with just sitting and listening to the world around her, adding her own voice to the sounds only when necessary.

"okay, let me rephrase that.. Which one do yout hink would most likely be able to swallow a cat whole?" andre asked again, now looking down at the pup chewing on his pant leg.

Still with her eyes closed, Velia pulled a thoughtful expression. She couldnt help but chuckle slightly at his question. "Hm. It's not all that probable..."

"Just humor me!" Andre insisted, picking Bou up and placing her on his lap.

"Well... thinking logically... Tasha... but you never know, Bou may want to break from the runt stereotype and prove everyone wrong and turn in to a lean, mean cat eating machine. Though I could be wrong and they could shrink." Velia opened one eye and grinned then closed it again.

"If they shrink I'll blame you for it." Andre said wholeheartedly, sarcasm totally aside as he pet both of the pups.

"So you should, my words are my power." She joked. Velia waved her fingers in a mock-magical way, opening both of her eyes.

"I ain't playing, Velia. If these dogs shrink I'm gonna kill them first then you." Andre said once more, still petting the now resting pups on his lap.

"You wouldn't be able to manage it. If you cant handle a cat, you most certainly wouldnt be able to handle me." Velia smiled in a somewhat creepy, knowledgable way.

"I can't handle cats because I don't try to." Andre stated somewhat calmly.

"Not from what I've seen." Del smirked, sitting down on a couch and then laying down, transferring the cat to her chest. "From what Zeta tells me, you were going at him pretty nasty earlier."

"HE BIT MY BLOODY ARM!! I could have rabies for all I know, nasty mongrel.." Andre had sat up when he screamed, flailing his arms a bit and glaring at Del and her cat.

Xavier walked in. "Calm down Andre, your doing exactly what she wants you to." He pushed a cat off the couch and sat down, the animal jumping back up, wanting to keep it's spot, person or no.

"But.. but.. but.. b-b-but.. it bit me..." He sniffled out, clinging to the two pups and placing his head into the both of their faces.

"So? Be a man about it." Xavier scratched the cat behind it's ear.

"Nu." Andre refused, still clinging to the squirming, seemingly suffocating pups. He looked down at the pups and sighed quietly, placing Tasha on the ground and watching her run over to Xavier and attacking his leg. "Hey... now if only she knew to do that to the cats everything would be good.. Can you do it Bou?" He asked, placing her on the ground as well, watching her run over behind her sister and sniff Xavier's foot, squating over it slightly and emptying her bladder. "AWW! GOOD GIRLS!! Hurt them and you die Xavier."

Xavier leaned down, petting the puppies, causing them to lie down. "Whatever. You owe me a new pair of shoes, and nothing cheap either."

"Oh yeah, cause I'm all about being cheap around here.. four hundred dollar dogs, twenty dollar collars each, plus getting them when they already had their shots adds up to another fifty dollars each.. Yeah, I'm just so damn cheap.." Andre shook his head lowly and gave Xavier a "Are you kidding me?" type stare.

Xavier leaned back. "Whatever man, your dog just pissed on six thousand dollar shoes."

"And.. I'm rich... is that so hard to believe...?" andre asked, tilting his head slightly and whistling to the pups, flicking his fingers towards the ground. "Come on girls, come here!" He coaxed, watching only Tasha run over to him. "Lazy dog!" He exclaimed, picking Tasha up and cuddling her close to his chest.

Xavier picked up the other puppy, setting it on his lap, the two animals laying there with their eyes closed.

"That dog's good for nothing.. doesn't even have natural instincts to attack a cat.. Bou.. lazy and pathetic.." He said harshlyglaring at the dog.

Xavier laughed. "You don't know much about animals if you think it's their nature to attack certain creatures."

"Just like cats attack HUMANS and fishies and birdies, a lot of doggies attack devil kitties." Andre stated briefly before adding, "I guess she just isn't that type of doggie."

"Whatever you say, Andre, What. Ever. You. Say." Xavier took out a book from his suit and began reading.

Andre gave out a low yawn and stood himself up, walking over to Xavier and grabbing the dog from his lap. "Meh.. be seein' ya.. dun worry, I'll bring your shoes.."

"You'd better." Xavier went back to reading."

Velia had just been watching the conversation with raised eyebrows, "Wow you two are brilliant at bonding."

"Quite." Xavier did not look up from his book.

---

All of a sudden, Delaine and Demona stepped in, followed by Reece.

Xavier looked up at them, then returned to his book.

"Well you're all a happy bunch." Delaine muttered

Velia was in the corner of the room, seemingly sleeping, curled up and leaning on a pillow.

"You should see us when we're trying to be cheerful." Del said, crossing her arms behind her head.

"My what a sight." Delaine smiled, "As you know, we're here for business." She said turning towards the group, "Now Demona here and I need some information before we go through with this."

Xavier looked over at them. "Just tell us what you need."

Delaine looked around the room, "Well first I need whoever does the research around here to find me information on all the men that built the bank's security system. Then we'll figure the rest out from there."

"And I'll need a picture profile of everyone who owns a master key in the building." Demona stated walking to Delaina's side.

Del raised an eyebrow at the robber who had accompanied the duo to the base. "Reece? I thought you were the one orchestrating this whole thing."

"Oh believe me, I am." Reece replied, "But, without the information, they can't help us and without them, we can't do it."

"So give them the info." Del said, strained patience in her voice. "Unless you don't have it?"

Demona looked to Delaine, "You don't think that they would have wasted our time bringing us here if they didn't have the information... do you?"

"No. I was merely curious as to why... Oh, never mind." Standing up, Del let one of the cats spring up to perch on her shoulder before walking out of the room. "Just lemme know when we're heading out." She said, tossing a wave over her shoulder.
