Damian tapped the knife against his boot, deep in thought. The computer screen before him was blank, but he didn’t notice.

“You want me to kill Jule,” he repeated at long last.

“Yes, ikir. He refused to do as we said and kill his target. He’s a threat to the survival of the Guardians, if he chooses to protect her,” the Watcher said.

“Let’s pretend for a moment that I actually believe anything you’re saying,” he said. “There’s no benefit for anyone if Jule is killed. So what if he failed at taking out a target?”

“If he chooses to protect this target from us-- ”

“First,” Damian said, standing, “Jule doesn’t take orders from you. Second, if he didn’t execute his target, he has a damned good reason. I trust him over you without question. What I really want to know is why Jule is of any interest to you at all.”

The Watcher was silent.

“If you can’t answer that, then I’m not going to help you,” Damian said. “And the girl? She looked far less harmless than the Other. Why aren’t you going after the Other?”

“We can’t track them in the mortal realm,” the Watcher said. “If you let Jule live, you must kill her. There is no other way to keep the Other from destroying everything.”

As much as he hated these creatures, he had to admit that they often led him in the right direction. Damian would never kill his brother, Jule, but if the woman was dangerous enough to warrant a Watcher’s attention, he couldn’t look the other way.

She’d looked harmless to him, beautiful and scared.

“So I have to do my job because you can’t do yours,” he summarized. “I’ll send Dusty.”

“Thank you, ikir,” the Watcher said. “In time, I hope to provide more answers.”

Damian didn’t respond, silently cursing the being. Satisfied it was getting what it wanted, the Watcher left him alone. The more Damian dealt with them, the less he wanted to deal with them again. The fact the mysterious creatures could find him whenever they wanted made him cautious about outright opposing them. Still, he wanted them out of his hair-- permanently.

Damian sought out Sofi, both for her calming influence and any tidbits of what she might’ve Seen. She was in the kitchen with Bianca and looked up with a smile when he entered.

“How’re you feeling?” he asked. He rested his hand on her expanding stomach and his chin on her head.

“Great.”

“Bianca, my son will need a playmate. You and Dusty better catch up,” Damian teased his brother’s mate.

“Dusty is just now on good terms with my cat,” Biana replied. “I think a kid is a while down the road!”

Damian looked down at Sofi and raised an eyebrow. She winked. He hugged her, a darker thought crossing his mind as he held her and their child close. If the Watchers could find him, they could find her-- and their son. His desire to expel the Watchers from the planet solidified. He could handle the Black God, at least for the time being.
