“I’m very proud of you all.” Knight said to his people as they sat in the infirmary while Jesseca and Arson were examined by the electronic medical system.
“I just wish I could’ve seen that bitch get what was coming to her, instead of letting her take me out.” Arson said.
Severe smiled at the girl and squeezed her hand. “I think you did just fine child.” she told the young girl with her mind, getting a smile in return.
“The fact still remains that we’ve been compromised, Hannah and the Circle of Thorns know where our base is, so we’re not safe here.” Knight said.
“I know where we can go.” Sue said weakly from her bed.
“Because we were only a team for a short time before Babbage attacked and the other girls were killed, nobody even knows this place exists.” Sue said with a pang of sadness as she stood in the middle of her old base with her new allies.
“Thank you Sue.” Severe said as she levitated Jesseca back toward the infirmary.
“All right team, we still have to get everyone we can together to combat this menace.” Knight said, breaking the moment. “Every able bodied person to a communicator, and get these folks together at the Terra Volta nuclear reactor tomorrow.” he said.
As the others went to their stations, Sue made her way into the infirmary where Severe was setting up some monitors to watch Jesseca’s vitals. “Is she going to be ok?” Sue asked, taking a seat on the edge of the bed next to Jesseca.
Severe smiled at her and put a hand on her knee, “She’s very tough, I’m sure she’ll be just fine.” she said.
Sue smiled at the woman and watched her leave the room. “Jess, if you can hear me, I need you to get better as soon as you can honey.” she said, snuggling up to the unconscious woman.
“Sue?” Knight said, gently nudging the sleeping woman.
Sue opened her eyes and sat up. “What time is it?” she asked, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
“It’s about seven in the morning.” he said. “I need you to come with me for a little bit, I have to pick up some stuff for today.” he said.
Sue nodded and got off the bed, she leaned over and kissed Jesseca on her forehead before leaving with Knight.
“So where are we going?” she asked as they drove to their destination.
“I called Azuria with M.A.G.I. last night to see if she could tell me anything about D’argoth and the Circle of Thorns that might help us. She said that she had some weapons that would help us fight him if he manages to be freed.” he explained.
“But I thought he was inside of Hannah, possessing her.” Sue said, slightly confused.
Knight shook his head. “Apparently Hannah is possessed by a low level spirit used solely to bring her back to life.” he said, turning toward City Hall. “D’argoth is trapped in limbo right now, a realm between ours and the spirit world. The Circle of Thorns needs to perform a ritual to free him, which buys us some time to mount an attack.” he said.
