“So what you’re telling me is I have...every power?” Phoenix asked again, still sitting there in shock as the ice continued to melt around him. Mike nodded “You’ll receive every power the others have and your own” “And probably even extra” Sydney piped up, returning to the room after fetching Hector and hustling Daniel and Carter out. Hector scoffed arrogantly “If you ask me Anna would have been a better fit for the Universal, she’s the best trained for it, we trained her for it and you hardly trained him at all” “You over trained her!” Mike shouted back “she has no sense of compassion or empathy left in her!!” “She’s a soldier!” Hector hissed, narrowing his eyes. “That’s precisely the problem” Sydney defended “these children were meant …show more content…
Phoenix just nodded, easily being able to tell Mike was still exhausted, they all were. Even the time they did usually get to sleep was usually wasted by tossing and turning in bed wondering what the Larks and Ellie were doing, contemplating their next moves and feeling sorry for themselves, at least that’s what it was for Phoenix. “It’s ok, I’ll stay with you” Hector stated, turning to Mike “you look after my little girl out there would you?” “Will do buddy” Mike answered, patting him on the back and leaving the room with Sydney in tow. Rolling out of bed, Phoenix ducked Hector’s arms as he tried to grab for him. “I’m sorry” he laughed “I have to say goodbye to Carter” Hector raised his eyebrow as Phoenix reeled back on his previous comment. “The others” he rushed out “I have to say goodbye to the others” before turning to bounce out of the room, only to be stopped by Hector’s arms grabbing him firmly around the shoulders and pulling him back, pushing him down onto the bed and standing over him triumphantly with a large smile painted across his face. “Not going to happen kid, Mike would kill me if I let you stow away” he winked. “What can I do?” Phoenix asked, annoyed that Hector had foiled him so quickly. Hector pouted slightly in thought before his eyes lit up. “Open your chest and see what else you have in there, Anna can open
“I guess you could say that,” he motioned her to follow him again, and handed her some other odd creature.
“I’ll be sure to tell Mike the door should stay open” Hector drawled out, clearly unimpressed.
Charlie turned her head away in shame, looking up at Vincent as he laid a hand on her shoulder. “You would have been killed if you had stayed and Duncan promised him that nothing would happen to you.”
I kept my composure and made my exit. “Mimi this has been amazing, but I really need to get going.”
“Let us know if you need anything else.” Sharon nodded and watched as he and the rest of the team, with the exception of Andy, gathered their things and left.
“This is never going to work,” Mark announced, as he could tell Amanda was going into overload. “This thing will never be as smart as us.”
“I don’t think you want to hear what I have to say about the way you treat me, now go home and look after your daughter, she needs you,” Silvia demanded, shrugging Walker’s arm off of her body.
Mike was the only one who kept him sane at the moment, he was the only Kryslian he still had contact with, he was his mentor. He told him stories about Kryslee all the time and although Phoenix remembered those particular moments in time very vividly, he still sat there and hung onto every word that Mike said, always enchanted to hear his mentors view on things, how it looked from his perspective.
“Uncle Mike I need to know what they are” he replied glancing back to the doorway “no secrets”
As I rushed them over to the O.R. I saw Isabelle fill in my spot with the pregnant lady. I found Bailee and she told me to ask them questions to keep them focused on not leaving
“Am I hearing you properly?” Antoneso laughed mirthlessly. “Since when did you think that she belonged to you?”
"I understand that my might, while titanic, is far from ye greatest. But I have downed Demigods with more than half of my vitality and health left at my disposal to deal with ye underlings. If you possess enough power to dwarf my own, then perhaps..." He trailed off, giving Alexis Haeshoru a hungry look. "Perhaps it is something I, myself, should wield."
“I know the feeling, my little man,” said Carlton, stripping down to his drawers. He gestured to Audra. “Let me take him
“I know,” Toni said as she walked into the kitchen and sat down. “Toni, I always though Mike was in love with Syd and he was her first, but I guess...” Doug was shocked. “I know Doug, but since he’s been with Kelli Mike has lost his mind.”
“Wher’re yer folks?” he asked. At his feet, Peggy snored softly. Time for a nap, I guess, Leo thought, I’d kill to be at home sleeping right now.
