Damien

I had never been more grateful for my Gargoyle’s strength than when I hauled Ryder’s and Nix’s bodies at the same time through the skies. I groaned at the pressure and pinpricks of pain as I pushed hard through the barrier, focused entirely on getting to my brothers and discovering what the hell was going on. My heart was racing with adrenaline as I shot across the open ocean, scanning with my night vision to try and find Theo. My head started to ache, but I didn’t let that slow me down. I finally caught an image with Theo’s neon colors prominent against the inky waves and spiraled down, landing hard as I cradled their prone bodies.

“What the fuck!” Killian grabbed Nix from my arms as he held her Phoenix against his chest and felt for a pulse in her throat.

We need to get out of here. I spat the words as I tried to catch my breath, propping Ryder’s head up on my lap while Killian cared for Nix. There’s a body. A female. I don’t know if she’s alive, but I’m pretty sure I saw her shallow breathing before I left. She was attacking Nix and shit went down. I wasn’t even sure how to begin explaining what had happened while we were on the island.

Killian grabbed his phone out with one hand, flipping it open and putting it on speed dial to reach Hiro. “We’ve got her.” He snapped the words out as soon as the line connected.

“She’s safe?” I could hear the fear and hope in his voice.

“She’s unconscious and injured.” Killian’s words were a growl that my Gargoyle echoed. I fought for control of my Gargoyle, shifting back to human so I could be involved in the conversation and throwing back on the clothing now wet from the spray as Theo plowed through the water as fast as he could go. Taking my shirt, I pressed it to Nix’s wounds rather than putting it on, hoping the pressure would help staunch the bleeding.

“Ryder?” Hiro’s voice was nervous and hard, knowing that if Ryder could, he would have healed her.

“I knocked him out,” I admitted, reaching down to stroke a hand over Nix’s throat and feeling her solid pulse beneath my fingers.

Killian whipped his gaze up toward mine. “Why? He needed to heal her!”

Unsure how to explain what had happened on the island, I pushed what I had seen into Theo and Killian’s minds. Theo’s Kraken screeched and Killian swore emphatically.

“Someone better explain.” Hiro’s voice was hard and full of command.

“Something went wrong with Ryder’s powers.” Killian’s voice was slow and confused. “It was hurting Nix instead of healing her.”

Hiro’s silence was ominous as all we heard through the phone was his breathing. “How is that possible?” None of us had a response for him. Ryder’s groan startled us as he started to wake up, pulling his head off my knee and rubbing at the knot on his skull.

“Fuck, D.” Ryder groaned, sitting up with a grunt and trying to balance on the rapidly moving Theo.
