Black wanted to scream in frustration.

Then he wanted to scream at Yarli to do what she’d already told him she couldn’t do, to stop Manny… push him or coerce him or wrestle him away from the being who had control over his mind.

He already knew she couldn’t.

He could feel her desperation, her panic, even more sharply than he could feel his own.

He could feel her terror and powerlessness.

Both of them just watched, silent, as the Manny walked through the opening between the elevator doors, casually entering the area of the main elevator banks in the building’s ground floor lobby.

Black felt Yarli reach out with her light, trying to reach her mate.

He felt her screaming in some part of her aleimi, trying to reach him and failing.

He felt Miri’s grief as she accelerated through another red light.

Black reached out with his own light, that time trying to help Yarli reach him, instead of just doing it on his own. He tried to boost the strength of her aleimi, to lend her his structure as she struggled to reach her boyfriend’s mind.

Both of them hit a hot, dense, tangled wall of living light.

Not Manny’s light.

Not the construct.

Someone else’s.

BLACK! Yarli yelled his name into the Barrier. STOP HIM! PLEASE! PLEASE GOD STOP HIM BEFORE––

I can’t get through.

Black growled it at her in the Barrier, but his anger seemed to drain out of him as he watched his friend approach the end of the bank of elevators.

The two security guards just stood there, watching him approach, and Black recognized the blank stare in their eyes, as well, and realized they hadn’t been stalling this Hollywood dragon fuck, but had been captured by him.

Despite his dense shields, Black could almost see him now.

He saw the other dragon’s glowing outline inside the Barrier.

He saw those pale, gold eyes, the strange aleimic light.

But his infiltrators were right, too.

He didn’t look quite the same as what Black remembered from that studio backlot.

It was definitely him, though.

There was absolutely no doubt about that.

Black tried again to get through that dense shell of aleimic light.

He couldn’t.

He was just as powerless as Yarli.

Yarli, who was probably the most gifted seer on his team, apart from maybe Dalejem.

At the thought, his jaw clenched.

JEM! He half-screamed the male seer’s name. ARE YOU THERE? ARE YOU WATCHING THIS?

Jem’s mind rose at once.

Yes, he sent grimly. We all are. We’re all trying to get through. All of us. Nick contacted Brick. He’s hoping he might be closer. How much time before you get there?

Black refocused his eyes enough to put more of his consciousness back into the road.

Miri drove the car.

He’d made her do it, so he could try to reach the guy in his building’s lobby. He knew he’d probably crash, given how much light he’d need.

She sat next to him now, focused wholly on the road, her expression hard as she glanced briefly his way. He watched her blow through a red light approvingly. Still, he couldn’t help but flinch as cars blared their horns, swerving to miss them in the low-riding McLaren.
