It was well into the night, and Hiccup and Thuggory were still running. How fucking far had they come even? And worse? They had no clue which way they were going.

They set up camp. Hiccup couldn't in good heart inform Thuggory of his night vision, as he had not offered it earlier. It just didn't seem like the kind of thing to do in your last moments.

He sighed. She'd asked them to help her, of course. They had only been doing what they thought was right. Camicazi was too much of a free spirit to be tied down to the throne of the Bog-Burglar empire. So yeah, they'd helped her fake her death, but she said she'd be fine, that she had a plan.

Only she didn't. She'd come to them, battered, bruised, severely poisoned and with illness. They'd done their best to nurse her back to health. She was almost good to go, until they were found out. By Gobber.

He'd discovered them tending to the girl in the shed, and, in a moment of panic, as Hiccup was rushing to try to stop him he'd let lightning out of his hand. Completely involuntary, of course, but completely devastating to Gobber. The shed caught fire. Thuggory rushed Camicazi out, then attempted to help Hiccup put out the fire.

They never did see her after that. When they went back to look for her, the melted snow mixing with the fresh earth to muddy their boots, she was gone. Only some footsteps left behind, much bigger than hers.

Toothless groaned, stretching his back. He was finally in Mexico! He'd landed in Campeche. He would travel to Zacatecas the next day. Note, he would probably die… if he were Haddock, anyways.

He smiled as he made his way to the place he'd booked flying there on airbnb. Nice, sweet apartment. Couches, dining table… he really ought to bring his friends one day… maybe after graduation…

Oh well, nice bed, pretty bed, come to papa…

.

It was daybreak. Hiccup blinked, waking up. Thuggory was last in charge of keeping guard… but he was… gone…

He heard footsteps slowly approach. It was Thuggory, walking with a bit of a bounce in his step. OK, definitely went to the bathroom!

"Come on, dude," he said, not extending his hand and thereby confirming Hiccup's previous suspicion, "We seriously need to get out of here."

Hiccup nodded, got off the ground, and continued walking with Thuggory. They did need to get out of there.

.

Toothless woke up, stretching and yawning, before blinking rapidly. Wait, he did tell his parents he'd be gone, right?!

Oh fuck! Try as he may to be a 'bad boy' he was never one to question his parent's authority. Like, seriously, which idiot challenges their parents authority, especially when said parents are Supervillains.

He shuddered. He was pretty sure the last time he broke a rule he ended up chained and whipped, and not the same way as with that little red-head back in Fra- and he was shutting his thoughts up now…

He sighed. Oh well, there really wasn't an alternative here, he wasn't flying all the way back to ask for permission only to make the flight here again.

He groaned. Woe was him, or however the fuck one phrased that.

He sighed, looking at the map the voices had instructed him on. He'd pretty much pieced together that the words they had spoken were dragonese, and the ones he couldn't understand was because he didn't have a dragon's tongue yet, he was still a fledgling, developing at a rate much slower than normal dragons.

Oh well, his first stop was Tabasco. He was catching a bus there, so as to not draw too much attention towards himself, he didn't want to attract the Supes native to Mexico, or any Supe related howsoever to Latin-America (and Russia, but that was obvious), everyone with half a brain knew never to mess with them.

Yeah, you'd have to be pretty stupid to do what Toothless was about to…
