Caelum’s voice echoed in her head. When she opened her eyes, she was alone in the medlab, once again on a medbed with a biting headache and an odd sense of relief. Dina sat up slowly, testing her dizziness and finding little. On her feet, she made it to the exit and reached the hub with no issues.

She gripped the railing when the frenzy thoughts of the lone occupant swirled through her head. Liam, ever aware, had a hand on her elbow in a heartbeat. “Thanks.”

“Good?”

“Feeling wise, yeah, plan wise, no…please tell me you convinced him not—” When he frowned, she huffed and moved toward her station.

“Dina.” His tone tightened.

“How do you know this isn’t exactly what we did before?”

“Val and I have already had this conversation. It’s our only decent plan.”

“No, it’s not and you know it,” she bit back and brought up their stupid plan so she could review it and punch a bunch of holes in it so they wouldn’t go through with it. “I bet you he’s in my head. Gardner. I bet she knew what he looked like.”

“If this doesn’t work, we may have to consider it,” Liam confessed.

“Because you know what’ll happen right, between me and Caelum. I’m sure he has a hundred other ideas on how, I have a few, but they all boil down to two conclusions.” Dina lifted her brow, watching the confusion pour into his mind. “You haven’t? Shit. Never mind.”

“Dina, don’t do that. Don’t keep your thoughts from me. Not now, please,” Liam said, teleporting to her side, and kneeling down beside her station, his concerned eyes already glowing, one of her biggest weaknesses. “What are your conclusions?”

“She had almost forty years’ worth of Caelum’s energy keeping her alive, right?”

“A logical assumption.”

“Such a nerd,” she said, trying to lighten the mood before she smacked him in the face with the truth. “There’s only two ways that could happen, Liam.”

He furrowed his brow.

“He gave it willingly or she took it by force.”

Liam pressed his lips tightly together.

Dina frowned. “Exactly. Either one fucking sucks.”

“You would never—”

“I’d never. Me who sees Pop, Duncan, and you…die. Might. On the other hand, do you think he’d give his entire energy force to me? Sanjeeta…maybe. Or Lexa.”

“You make a sound argument,” Liam said, running the data through his mind like she had done.

“If he keeps looking into my head, he’ll know which, and what do you think he’ll do if he finds out future me killed him?”

Liam’s eyes flashed. Her heart thumped painfully when they turned glassy. “He will never harm you, Dina.”

“Do you trust him that much?”

“Yes.”

“Then why are you crying?”

“I’m afraid of failing. I’m terrified we’ll repeat the cycle and I will—”

“No,” she said, touching his mouth gently. You’re not going to die this time. I will let these memories drive me to the brink of madness if it means keeping you alive. You’ll bring me back, you always do.

I don’t think I am strong enough. Liam rose to his feet, hands balled at his side, his go to position for anger and fear.
