Raven moved, her eyes flicking a tiny bit. She opened them. She felt stiff and her shoulder and thigh felt secure. The ache seemed to have subsided a bit.

"You're awake." came familiar voice. Raven felt an unusual stab of alarm and terror as she looked over at Pietor Furan. He stood, looking at her and wiping his hands on a towel.

"She's awake, you two!" he called. Raven followed his gaze. Nero and Anastasia hurried over.

"Natalya." Nero helped her sit up and held her close for a second. She leaned to him.

"What's going on?" Raven asked quietly. "What are they doing here? Where are we?"

"It's okay." Nero replied so only she could hear him "Pietor essentially saved you from Gabdin. Then they brought you and me on board, and wrapped you up."

"Why?" Raven whispered.

"That is what I'm trying to find out. Anastasia said she would explain soon."

"How are you doing?" Anastasia came on her other side. Raven looked at her.

"Better now apparently thanks to you."

"Indeed. I'm pleased to hear it. When you're ready I want you two to come out. I have something to say. Thank-you." she turned and left the room. Pietor stepped forward and held up a small, blue pill.

"Take this." He ordered, setting it on the table. "It'll take away toxins out of your blood from the bullets." He followed his sister out. Raven stared after them, her face perplexed and a little worried.

"Max. Why are they…?"

Nero watched as well. "I don't know, but I'm just glad they treated your injuries."

"Whatever they did, it worked. "Raven rolled her shoulder carefully, but still winced.

"Don't overdue it." Nero warned gently "Want to try standing?"

Raven nodded and slowly swung her legs off. Nero took her hand as she touched her feet to the ground. She put a little weight, then some more. Her face was pained, but she stood up.

"Are you alright?" Nero watched her closely. Raven nodded tensely and tried to take a step. She limped badly, but stayed upright.

"I can do it." Raven said through clenched teeth. Nero handed her the blue pill and she took it.

"Do you want to go out?" he asked "Or wait?"

Raven nodded. "Now, please."

Nero gingerly guided her out, trying to help her keep weight off her leg.

Anastasia and Pietor were both talking to the pilot in a hushed conversation. Pietor spotted them and told his sister, nodding at them. Anastasia turned.

"Good." she smiled "Any better, Natalya."

"Much thank you." Raven said with a nod.

"Good. Now obviously you're wondering what's going on. Well here you have it." she looked at them "You've heard of the Russian Convit I presume."

Nero nodded and Raven felt he neck, glancing at him.

"Yes. Their sign no doubt." Anastasia said "Up until now, we have tolerated them, but they are a significant, if not annoying power hoard that wants nothing but power. Pietor and I have decided, no more. We hope to take them down, with your assistance."

Raven and Nero glanced at each other.

"You believe I'd be of any help right now?" Raven shook her head.

"You will heal quickly, my dear." Anastasia smiled.

"What could we possibly offer you?" Nero waved Raven back slightly.

"Can you think of no greater name then Nero and Furan?" she blinked coldly "We'll be invincible. You and I, well, we have the strategic and well-felt aura. Pietor and Natalya have the skills."

Nero narrowed his eyes "But why do you need us?"

"We don't." Pietor growled "she is saying it would be simpler. Although I see you having little effect with it."

Nero glared at him along with Raven. Anastasia put up a finger.

"Pietor is right. We do not need you. We would like you to join us. Guard!" she called "Please bring them out."

The guard came in to view and stepped aside to reveal Wing, Shelby and Laura. Nero's eyes widened, than narrowed angrily.
