[April 2] [Gundam SEED Astray] Worst Laid Plans
Title: Worst Laid Plans
Day/Prompt: 02/I smelled betrayal on your hands
Fandom: Gundam SEED Astray
Character/Pairing: Gai, Serpent Tail, etc.
Rating/Warning(s): AA
Word Count: 200
Summary: An obvious, stupid plan. That anybody else might've fallen for.
--
Gai had to give these guys some credit; they had gone for a long con and had he been anybody else, they might've pulled it off. But the offer of joining forces for a big job, coming from a group that Reed had been keeping tabs on for years, reeked of nothing but trouble. He'd agreed mostly to suss out exactly what was going on and pointedly kept Elijah close and visible. They'd know he wasn't working alone, wouldn't work alone, and wouldn't be left vulnerable.
And he wasn't, either-- Far enough in that it made sense to listen to their recommendation to split the team, because hey, they were all on the same side.
But, as one of Blue Frame's normally-hidden daggers sliced into a Custom ZAKU's cockpit, Gai knew better. He'd known better, had planned for this exact scenario, and...
There was Elijah's voice, almost cool, in his ear as Elijah took care of almost the same scenario. Had these mercs really been stupid enough to think that Serpent Tail would fall to such an obvious plan? Or had they somehow missed that Serpent Tail was not adverse to joining forces either.
"Thanks for the help, Lucky Blue."
