The day following the attack at the communication tower and Dark Rose’s snowy escape left me wracking my brain. I drummed my pen on my notebook, distracted from whatever lesson it was that Miss Magus was teaching. Although she herself was an interesting character, I couldn’t get myself to focus on the way she taught. She wasn’t Gemma, and I wasn’t interested.
Instead, my mind wandered to the events that had taken place over the course of the last few days. For starters, there was the tattoo, the triple triad, that had appeared on two of the villains that we’d encountered on our ride-alongs. Matt hadn’t said anything about seeing any marking on any of the thugs he’d taken on, but he wasn’t really the best when it came to details. Even if he were, there was a good chance that he didn’t necessarily register what it was. To him, it would have just looked like any ordinary tattoo. He wouldn't have thought to connect it to anything.
We still didn’t know anything more about Carter either, at least nothing that I had been made aware of. That irked me as well, but I wasn’t going to let it get in the way of the here and now. I trusted that if something were revealed, Triton and the other heroes would take care of it or at the very least pass along the information since we had been the ones to fight them at the World’s Finest.
Regardless, I couldn’t focus. My mind kept wandering, and I felt like without all of my girls with me, I was starting to lose my grip. Kara was great. She always was, and as soon as she’d found me in the crowd last night, she hugged me tightly and thanked the heavens that I was all right. Honestly, it was me who was thankful. I knew the kind of dangerous woman that Dark Rose was, and just the thought of her touching Kara was enough to give me nightmare after nightmare while I slept.
Still, I missed Andie and Aylin, my Sun and my Stars. Talking to them on the phone wasn’t enough, but I knew that it would have to do for now.
“Psst.”
I flicked my gaze to the left of me to see Kara discreetly handing me a folded sheet of paper. Inwardly, I was charmed as I took it from her fingers. It reminded me of when we passed notes in primary school, which was mostly just sharing doodles back and forth then. I opened it out of sight of Miss Magus and scanned over the contents.
‘You look stressed. Can I help?’
I smiled genuinely at her concern. Normally it was me trying to assuage the girls and their fears and insecurities, not the other way around. It was a lovely feeling knowing that even if I didn’t need it often, I could lean on them as well.
The question was, could she help? I thought of the different ways that she could possibly help at all.
