Vixen stepped off the elevator. “Haiken!” She looked around the underground headquarters of Haiken and his friends only to find Anita at the monitors observing some activity. Forcing herself to calm down with a breath, Vixen approached the Guardian then noticed on the screens her friends passing through a corridor and stopping at a lift before loading onto it and descending. Vixen’s mouth ran dry at the sight, and her heart plummeted. She shot Anita a look but didn’t know where to begin.

Anita—who had sat back in her chair to watch Vixen’s reaction—smiled. “Friends of yours?” At Vixen’s pale stare, Anita lifted her hand to ease any concern. “Not to worry. I noticed the meeting you had with them in the conference room, and I looped old security feed, so no one else would see, but next time they should call first—set up an agreed meeting or something, so they won’t blow anyone’s cover.” With her elbows on the armrests of her chair, she laced her fingers across her chest and tilted her head. “Who are they anyway? That guy with that hat is handsome.”

Chuckling, Vixen shook her head. “And they say you aren’t human.” She locked eyes with Anita. “That was Wol’Van. He was my weapons mentor.” She placed a hand on her hip and looked down at the girl. “Where’s Haiken?”

“They all got called away.” Anita swirled her chair around to face the screens and motioned to a specific one—a healer’s ward setting, it appeared, with several computer monitors around the room. Haiken sat on a long chair and a female doctor—or scientist, Vixen wasn’t sure—approached him. At her gesture, he removed his helmet, and she took it from him and connected it to a computer.

“What are they doing?”

“Mandatory maintenance update. When we put our helmets on, it’s like a computer right in front of our eyes. It gives us readings of various things such as temperature, the location of other Guardians and their identification number, layouts of buildings, and other important data.” Anita nodded toward the screen. “We’ve been informed that there is a virus capable of knocking our readings offline, and they’re simply upgrading our armor with new firewalls.”

Vixen frowned then furrowed her brows. “Are you sure?” She glanced at Anita.

Anita nodded but then saw how disturbed Vixen looked, so she straightened in her chair. “What is wrong?”

Before Vixen could answer, the door slid open, and Jarovit marched in, carrying extra armor and weaponry slung over his shoulder. “We’re being deployed to Cuskelom.” Slamming the armor down onto the table, he began sorting through it but noticed the women’s stares. He shrugged then sent Anita a hard look. “Didn’t you get the memo?”

Anita shook her head and gestured to the ceiling. “Too far down to receive transmission.”

Jarovit grunted but focused on organizing the new weaponry. “You should get that fixed. They’ll start suspecting somethin’ if they can never reach you to relay messages.”

“What is this about attacking Cuskelom?” Vixen folded her arms as she watched the weapons Guardian.
