Chapter 5

"Remember, they've also added dampening fields. While that won't affect your telepathy with Nova, it will affect our comms. With the new update, they should be able to piggyback off the citywide connection without detection, but they will shut down automatically if someone finds the signal." Bash tried to stay in business mode. Now wasn't the time for distractions, even if he felt like his heart was being ripped out. He'd always hoped one day that he would be enough for her to move on, but he'd been wrong. She'd only have room in her heart for vengeance.

"Got it." Freya confirmed and slipped the small cloaking device onto her vest.

"I guess this is it then, you're ready to go."

Freya nodded in response, but didn't say anything. He held back his need to pull her into his arms and declare his love. It wouldn't stop her from going on this suicide mission. Her hand reached out, pausing just inches from his chest. Fingers flexing and then making a fist, she dropped her hand and turned away, walking over to Nova and Cay.

Air escaped from his chest in a rush as the pain descended. This would be their last time together because if she did survive, he wouldn't be here to welcome her back. Once she was safely on her way back, he'd move to one of the Resistance Colonies outside the city. Or maybe disappear to a safe house.

Unable to watch Nova and Cay's affectionate goodbye, he retreated into his command room. Focusing on the mission, he pulled up several camera feeds. Running a hand through his hair, it got caught in the mask he'd forgotten was sitting on top of his head. Pulling it from his hair, he dropped it on the table. Nothing had gone right today. The party was supposed to boost morale, not provide a distraction as they ran the mission early.

A few minutes later, Cay joined him. Bash started to activate the comms, but the door chimed. She'd come back to say goodbye! Bash rushed the door, fumbling to get through the locks Cay set when he'd entered. The door hissed and revealed Alastor who shoved him aside as he barged in. Bash winced as disappointment sank into him. He should have known she wouldn't come back to say goodbye. Numbness seeped in as he reset the door locks, returned to the screens, and slipped his gloves on.

Nova and Freya had just passed through the last underground tunnel. Once they exited, video feed would be sporadic. If he moved any of the views, someone might catch onto the fact that he'd hacked their system, and that was the last thing they needed right now.

"We're outside." Nova's voice invaded the control room.

He saw two unknown women emerge from a door on the camera feed. The cloaking devices were able to project the image of different women over their bodies, visibly disguising them. Since they'd added underground tunnels connecting various Resistance held buildings through the inner-city, it was easier for them to travel.
