Draco

Once Astrid and Dr. Monroe leave, they head to the weaponry room to prep for Crescent City. The tools and tech developed on the island is far superior to what they’d had before. Their suits are lightweight and durable, literally bulletproof. Their equipment is easily manageable and perfectly suited to each of their abilities. Draco stands before the long row of accessories and begins filling a bag. Owen and Quinn do the same.

Something’s been nagging at him since they watched Rowe’s video. It wasn’t the basic rage he felt seeing his city threatened and under attack. It was the betrayal of their own, by this doctor, Sebastian Scheid. He’d fucked up their lives severely and without Astrid bringing them all together, Draco knows he easily could have found himself in the hands of this man.

Without Astrid and frankly, without someone else.

He shoves a stun gun in the bag and says, “Do we have anything here that can take down Rex?”

Quinn casts him a wary look. “Rex is invincible.”

“Exactly.” He runs his hands through his hair. “How are we going to stop him.”

“We catch him. Lock him up.”

“Where?” Draco’s not convinced.

“Here,” a voice interrupts them. Dr. Monroe stands in the doorway. “We have a maximum-security prison on the island. Created for this moment.”

Quinn grunts, tossing his baton in his bag. “You knew it would come to this.”

“As soon as Scheid betrayed you, yes.”

Draco’s quiet. He can’t stop thinking about how this started for him. Finally, he says, “We’re going to need more than the five of us to stop Rowe. He’s got Blaze on his side and Rex. He’s got the entire Elite squad and god knows who else.”

Quinn nods. “What are you proposing?”

Draco glances over his shoulder, making sure they’re alone. “I’d like to bring in someone else.”

Owen stares at him blankly. “There is no one else.”

“That’s not true,” he replies.

Recognition dawns and Owen throws up his hands. “Fuck no.”

“What?” Quinn asks, clearly a few steps behind. “Who are you talking about?”

Owen’s cheeks flare red and his eyes shift dangerously. “We are absolutely not asking that fucking psycho for her help.”

“She’s strong,” Draco says. “Stronger than all of us and she’s better. I’ve seen her.”

“I knew it!” Owen roared, running across the room and grabbing Draco by shirt. “I knew your loyalties were with her all along!”

He easily pushes Owen back, trying his best not to hurt him. Owen turns and kicks the leg of the work table, denting it with his boot.

“My loyalties are with Astrid and this team. Don’t ever doubt that.”

“Demetria?” Quinn finally asks, incredulously. Monroe stands quietly to the side. “You want to ask Demetria to help us?”

“She’s not our enemy. She loves The Swamp.”

“Yeah with the passion of a thousand fiery dragon monsters,” Owen bites back. “She may not actually be evil, but she has zero self or ability control. No. No. She’s evil. You can’t prove otherwise.”

Draco looks at Monroe. “How’s she doing?”

“Excuse me?” she replies, startled.

“Don’t tell me you have no idea where she is.
