This takes place a year after Tereus was born into the ESWAT. He now has his own girl to protect, but he doesn't love her, she is just a partner.
Deunan and Briareos were in the field, but Briareos knew he wasn't coming back to the station … alive. There was a feeling in his gut that had told him, a hard blow from an enemy cyborg connected to Briareos' chest, the enemy was coming after Deunan now, Briareos was falling.
"Backup is needed, Briareos has fallen, I repeat backup is needed ASAP!" Deunan radioing the other ESWAT members in that vicinity, Deunan wasted no time in diving after Briareos, she knew with Briareos's weight added with the weight with the suit, her suit would malfunction but she didn't care she had to try, he was her only love, and her partner, if she lost him she wasn't going to partner with anyone.
"Briareos, Briareos!" Deunan screaming out, she flew past him, she managed to get underneath him and catch him in her arms but her suit was sending out sparks,
"No god, please, help us! Come on guys, I need backup!" Deunan screamed into her radio. In the corner of her eye she could see something,
"Tereus," Deunan knowing he was too far away, he would not make it to them in time, while Tereus flew he radioed Deunan,
"Deunan, you have to let go of Briareos, you will be killed under his weight!" Tereus seriously, he may have a new girl partner but he still loved Deunan, after all he was Briareos in every way.
"I'll die before I let my Briareos go," Deunan harshly, Tereus was still flying as fast as he could to try and get to them, he knew she wouldn't let Briareos go, it was such a stupid thing to demand of Deunan.
"We need ambulance on the scene ASAP, NOW, HURRY!" Tereus screamed out into his radio before Deunan made a sound compact with the body of water underneath them, Deunan had heard Tereus radio them in, she smirked as she had hit the water. Tereus kept diving,
"Deunan, Deunan Knute, you answer me right now," Tereus hitting the water three minutes after Deunan, he saw her and Briareos sinking but it was slowly, Tereus was thankful that Joey had made the suits to float somewhat, Tereus grabbed them both and got them over to the land nearby. Tereus was exhausted, he still managed to drag them out away from the water, he could hear the ambulance coming, he ejected out of his suit and hovered over Deunan and ejected her out of her suit, but she wasn't breathing. Tereus quickly laid Deunan to the side of her suit and started CPR.
"Deunan, you come back to me, don't die on me," Tereus pounding on her chest, he gave her mouth to mouth one more time, she suddenly jerked and started coughing up water, Tereus got her on her side, she saw Briareos just lying there.
"No, Briareos, Briareos talk to me!" Deunan crying, she was in pain but she didn't care, she needed her partner, her lover, the medics arrived, they took Deunan and Tereus rode with her, they put Briareos in the other ambulance.
"I'm not leaving Briareos," Deunan harshly, as they tried to get her mouth and nose covered with an oxygen mask, Tereus grabbed her hand,
"They picked him up in the other ambulance Deunan, chill out," Tereus trying to calm her down, Deunan had already exhausted most of her strength trying to save Briareos, she finally relaxed on the stretcher.
"Tereus…" Deunan pushing the mask away,
"I wont let anything happen to you," Tereus strongly as he squeezed her hand gently.
"I need him Tereus," Deunan strongly, Tereus knew Briareos wasn't going to pull through this one, he didn't know what to say to her, but he kept a firm grip on her hand, she stared at Tereus' expression till her eye lids finally collapsed over her eyes. Tereus bowed his head,
~God, she needs someone to help her through this, please, let me help her, I beg you.~ Tereus eyes watering up, he kissed her hand and rubbed it with his thumb.
