Chapter Ten

I stopped in my tracks, but Regulus urged me to keep going. Rebekah waited by the door, looking both impatient and eager, ready to go on her adventure. As soon as we entered the the smaller portal room and she closed the door behind us. I advanced on her, cornering her against the back of the door. Thankfully, she didn’t disappear in a cloud of darkness. Instead, she looked at me with bright, guileless eyes.

“What?”

“Did you know they were invading my home?” I snapped, biting off the question.

“They’re… what?” she said, blinking her big blue green eyes in confusion. “No! How would I know that?”

“How could you not know?” I said, seething. “You said you didn’t want to do this anymore and just as a coincidence Axis happens to be invading Earth Prime at the…” I trailed off. It was a coincidence. A really awkward and weird one, but it had to be. No one knew what Regulus and I were doing, so it wasn’t like she could have planned anything. “I… hm.” I backed off, still working it through. The only ones who had even known I was looking for Regulus were Alistair and Malech, neither of whom talked to anyone. Regulus’ contacts may have known something was up when getting the uniforms he’d had made altered, as well as the forged money… but they wouldn’t have any way to contact anyone here. It really was just a coincidence. The thought of the Nazis in my home was more disconcerting to me than I had thought initially, considering how long it took me to work that out.

“It wasn’t planned or anything!” she said, shoving my chest and making me step backwards. “I just want to get out of here! I don’t want to kill people no more, and I don’t want to be their rat, running through the mazes, getting poked and prodded… I don’t want that! Jeez!” She huffed and crossed her arms, glaring at me.

“It’s a pretty remarkable coincidence,” I pointed out, and I could feel Regulus rolling his eyes behind me. I turned and snapped at him, “It is! And we have to do something about it!”

“What? Do some… no,” he said, waving his hands in a strong negation. “No way, Reece. It’s an army, and your heroes on the other side will take care of it.”

“At what cost?” I asked. “What if they come through to Imperial City and they have a nuke? What if they have a… I don’t know… biological weapon engineered to kill metas or something?”

“We don’t have that--” Siren started to say, but Regulus cut her off.

“We don’t save things, Reece,” he said. “We’re villains, remember? We take things. Kill people. Who cares if some people die? If a city or two gets leveled? It’s not like it’s going to succeed, and the heroes will drive them back. The Reich doesn’t have a chance.”

“I wouldn’t say we don’t have a chan--” Siren began, but I talked right over her.

“It’s my home,” I said, frowning deeply.
