“You’re an unbelievably fucking stupid man, Thor Dremmons,” Nia said, exasperated as she changed Thor’s bandages in the faceless hospital room they found themselves in.

The building it was nestled in was like all the others in Singapore – completely featureless in how pristinely modern it was. Apparently The Firm owned the whole thing – of course they did – and the top few floors were reserved for medical personnel and the facilities they required.

Between Thor’s burns, her own cuts, bruises and mild aches, as well as the plethora of small injuries Shifter Squad Nine had failed to get checked up after their earlier missions, the staff had their hands full.

“Yeah, well, I’m not sure you should be saying that to the man who saved your life,” Thor said with a snort, though he wore the makings of a smile that saved him from getting a smack from Nia.

Instead, she just shook her head and applied more salve to his back, which was riddled with serious burns. Thankfully enough, being a shifter and a damn strong one at that, he was healing almost by the hour. The two of them had been left alone in the room now and the sun was high in the sky, though the air conditioning was so good that you could barely tell that the heat was absolutely blistering outside.

“I had a good enough incentive to do it,” he murmured lightly, the smile wiped from his lips now.

He wouldn’t look her in the eye and that was something she’d noticed the second they had a moment together. Aside from a couple of stolen glances when he thought she wouldn’t see them, he’d basically acted like instead of her there was a black hole in the middle of the room.

How can I tell him anything if he won’t even look at me?

A lump formed in Nia’s throat as she thought of that, her hand still mechanically rubbing the salve on his back before putting the bandage down over it.

In all honesty, she should have been thinking about much more pressing matters. Like, for example, how half of Singapore was in danger of mutating into… well, something over the next few weeks or months. She’d been filled in on the findings and the reason for why Thor’s employers were suddenly so interested in her safety – which had been a cold shower in a way because for
