We had to be crazy… or just a little stupid. There was no telling what we would be walking into, and still somehow everyone wanted to go first! Reyson was physically restraining Bram from charging in there, and Killian was arguing with Ravyn about it. Ravyn hadn’t gotten herself blown up by anything magical yet, but she’d caught a few curses doing this. The things in that container probably weren’t slow-moving curses like she’d caught before, it was more likely they’d be instantly fatal.

Bram was about to shift and take a bite out of a fucking god! The rest of us didn’t want to set foot in there, at least not without a plan. Bram was a bit of a hothead, and my sister had never been sane with this shit. Reyson tightened his arms around Bram’s naked chest and squeezed him, hard enough to take his breath away.

“Calm down, or I’ll put you to sleep while we deal with this,” Reyson growled.

I felt this power emanating from Reyson, but I already knew what he was doing. I’d felt it before. Reyson wouldn’t have really knocked Bram out and robbed him from helping to rescue Talvath. Bram needed this. Reyson felt exactly like this every time he healed me.

I knew full well that if he wanted to, he could zap me with god mojo and influence my feelings towards him. But he didn’t do that, and it was one of the reasons I was falling for him on my own. Reyson was using his power to calm Bram down and prevent him from doing anything stupid. Could he do that on my twin sister next?

“No one is stepping foot in there until I hit it with my magic. That goes for you as well, twin sister,” Reyson said.

Killian looked like he was grateful because he was losing his argument with my sister. He had to be one damn patient familiar, because Ravyn got up to some shit. Ravyn was pouting because she got off on the thrill of this and didn’t want to walk in there if nothing was going to kill her.

Killian was a tall and relatively thin man, and he couldn’t ever stop Ravyn back when he was a bat, but he had options now.

“I didn’t just teach you the battle magic I knew that you didn’t learn at the academy. I was born at a different time, and I know Bartitsu. Don’t make me kick your ass.”

“All the uppity rich people learned Bartitsu for a time,” Felix said. “I was a street thug, and got my arse kicked with it a few times. I’d listen to your familiar. It’s our job to protect you, even if it means knocking you out cold to stop you from doing something stupid.”

If Ravyn didn’t have the feels before, she certainly did then.

Bram was no longer fighting. I knew a lot of that had to do with Reyson’s magic, but some of it had to do with Reyson offering to use his magic to get us in there.
