“Casualties?”

“No deaths, but a lot of injuries.” Apollo growled and buried his fingers in his golden hair. “My sister and the Morrígan are doing their best to mitigate these attacks, but the humans are starting to panic, and news stations are reporting them as coordinated terrorist attacks. Paris was too public to cover up, but we’re doing our best to explain away what people claim they saw there.”

This was getting out of hand, and I hadn’t heard from Michael in a few days. Where were the angels that were supposed to be keeping the demons in check? No one had seen or heard from Heaven’s forces since my brother reported on the deaths they’d discovered. Had they run back to hide in our father’s skirts while the humans were being killed?

“Lucifer,” Apollo said, his voice soft. “We can’t keep this up much longer. Our alliance is small. We either need more allies, or we—”

“We need to end this,” I interrupted. “I know. I just need a solid strategy, but every time I think I’ve got an idea, Abaddon throws something new at us. I can’t predict what would happen if I went straight in, what would be waiting for me. I wish I had someone in there that I could trust.”

He blinked at me, eyes widening in surprise. “In Hell?”

Before I could answer, the energy around us shifted. Thickened. We turned simultaneously in the direction of the harbor. A golden bow appeared in Apollo’s hand, his muscles tensing for a fight.

The second I got a lock on the sensation, I dragged him with me through the space, popping out into a madhouse. People ran screaming in every direction, some lugging crying children, others terrified friends. Several mitts lay abandoned on a nearby baseball diamond and one woman tripped over a stray tennis racket, but my attention didn’t linger on them long when a flash of red caught my eye.

My chest tightened. “Lexi.”

“Nathan!” Apollo darted past me.

Lexi slammed into Nathan hard enough to knock him off his feet, but he wrapped himself around her protectively. I wanted to thank him and punch him in the mouth at the same time. Then they were up again, both rushing for the demon general who—

My mind stuttered to a halt just as Loki appeared in front of us. Apollo tried to dodge around him, but Loki caught his arm more easily than he should’ve. He chuckled and peeked behind him at the scene.

“Let the kids do their jobs,” he said. “Don’t step in unless it gets out of their control.”

I gritted my teeth and grabbed Apollo’s other arm. “He’s right. We can’t always be there to protect them. This is a new generation; let’s see what they’re made of.”

Apollo looked ready to argue, but finally pressed his lips together and nodded reluctantly. Loki touched my arm and teleported us to the tree line along the edge of the park, Carson Beach at our backs, and a wide view of the fighting and panic spread out before us.
