It’s taken us hours to clear two levels with no sight of any other soldiers. Everything is dead and abandoned. Frowning, I start to let down my guard. “Maybe that was all of them?”

“Then where is the captain?” Jago snarls, and I shiver, turning away so he can’t see my reaction as we leave the gym and hesitate in the hallway.

“Let’s check the cameras like you suggested instead of hunting randomly, we could be looking for days,” I advise and he nods. “Lead the way. Archel, take the back, Evan, you are with me.”

“Why am I always in the middle?” he grumbles, and I wink at him.

“So I can protect you like a damsel in distress.”

He narrows his eyes on me and I grin at him until it melts away and he smiles. “After you then, Pip.”

We start moving towards the command center as Archel speaks up. “Why do you call her Pip?”

Evan laughs. “Like pipsqueak. She was this tiny little girl when we first met.”

“Awww, was she a little princess?” he asks.

“She was a terror, always getting into trouble and blaming me,” he scoffs, but winks over at me.

“What about Beast Man, you knew him growing up too?” Archel questions.

“No,” we both reply.

“Eh, dude probably wasn’t ever a child, just spawned into a full-grown, angry-looking man,” Archel teases, making me giggle.

“I bet he was a cute child,” I reply back, and Jago looks over at me to see me checking out his ass.

“Not as cute as you when you get all flustered, Brawler,” he teases.

I snap my mouth shut then as we concentrate on moving through the labyrinth. Jago is confident as he walks through the dark, obviously knowing where he is going. We hit a door down another random corridor and he nods.

I move to the side, watching our backs as Archel and him clear it. They come out a minute later and nod, so we all slip inside and shut the door before Jago presses something and the lights come on.

Archel stuffs a discarded jacket at the bottom of the sliding door to block the light leaking out into the hallway, giving away our position. Smart move. Looking around, I let out a whistle at what I see. Now this is a command center.

Screens cover the whole back wall. They are darkened now, but I bet they used to cover all of Paradise and the grounds outside. Four desks are curved before it with matching chairs. On the desk is what I could only describe as a control board with buttons and keyboards and big red buttons. The only other thing in the room is a cage in the back corner where they obviously used to store their guns. It’s empty now and the gate is left open as if they rushed away in a hurry.

“Okay,” I call, rubbing my hands together as I let my bow drop to my back with the strap. “Anyone know how to get them working?”

We all look at each other and then at the computers and camera, which might as well be from a different universe.
