Selena opened the door, and saw Leo, sat by the bed. Sheba lay still, almost as though she were merely sleeping.
Selena rubbed her eyes. "Why are up still up? It's the middle of the night." She looked at the younger Adept.
"I've tried to Cure her, but it doesn't work." He voice sounded tired, drained.
"You shouldn't use up your Psynergy like that." Said Selena. She rested a hand on his shoulder. "Her body is fine - it's fully recovered from the injuries. Its her mind..." she trailed off. "There is nothing more we can do, but wait."
Leo nodded.
Selena looked at him. "Leo, I hope you don't mind me asking, but why are you two so close? You barely knew her."
"She understood me. Well, certain things. That I feel. That I think. She knew."
"Oh." Selena looked away. "I'm sorry, I thought it might have been a crush or something."
Leo smiled, but it was still tinged with sadness. "No, I don't see her like that. I never will."
Selena was about to ask what that meant, when Saturos knocked at the door.
"I'm drained now." He said. "Whose turn is it to power this hunka junk?"
"I'll go. I'm awake already." Said Selena. She turned to Leo. "Get some rest, ok?"
Leo nodded, and Saturos left the room, followed by Selena.
"Please wake up." He whispered to the still body.

Ivan awoke with a start. He held his temples. Another dream. The Wise One. Damn, just when you thought things couldn't get any worse.
It was still dark. Nearly everyone would be asleep. He needed to talk to someone. But whom could he trust? He cast his mind back. Whose arrival hadn't been planned?
Jenna.
Her room was empty, so he head to the supplies. From what Selena had told him, he had a sneaking suspicion...
"Midnight snack, Jenna?"
Jenna nearly dropped the bottle she was holding. Saturos' alcohol. Ivan sighed. He KNEW it had been a bad idea to let him buy some!
"Ivan! You scared me!" and then she blushed at having been caught red- handed. Ivan gently took the bottle out of her hands.
"Jenna, I need you now. As a friend. And sober. We have a problem."
He told her what the Wise One had warned him. The new dilemma. Jenna listened, and then thought.
"Confront everyone." She said. "Tell them all. If the spy knows we are on to them, they are less likely to do something drastic, and therefore the rest of the team are safer."
Ivan thought on this, forgetting Jenna as he walked back to his room.
As soon as he had gone, she opened the bottle he had forgotten to take with him.
-
"A spy?" Karalen looked at Ivan in disbelief.
"Who is it?" asked Selena.
"I'm not sure. Neither was the Wise One. He just warned me that there was a spy in our midst. That's why the Griffin was at Jupiter Lighthouse. Someone sent it because they knew we would be there."
"So that rules out anyone who tackled the lighthouse." Stated Leo. "The spy wouldn't have gone if they knew there was danger."
"On the contrary," said Saturos. "It would be the perfect cover should the plan fail."
They argued some more, until Ivan yelled "SHUT UP! All of you! This isn't helping!"
"Well, do we need to ask who it is?" said Leo. "Who here was the person who has already tried to kill Ivan once?"
Ivan was inclined to agree, as was Jenna. They both distrusted Saturos, and knew what he was capable of.
"Wait, that's not fair," piped up Selena. "Isaac and Garet have gone against what we would expect. How can you say Saturos is bad because he USED to be!"
"Besides, he wasn't supposed to join. I'M the fire Adept, and if it wasn't for me, he would still be in the caves below Venus Lighthouse!" added David.
Ivan frowned. They both argued a good point. But if it WASN'T Saturos, it could be anyone... and he didn't like to think of ANY of his new friends as a spy.
"If we go on like this, we'll go crazy!" sighed Karalen. "Lets focus on our mission, and see what happens. At least now we KNOW there's a spy, and so we can be cautious."
The others agreed.
-
"Why did you stick up for me?"
David was stood out on the deck. His eyesight was much better, and for the first time, he was enjoying the view.
"What?"
"I said why did you stick up for me?" Saturos repeated himself, looking at the brunette suspiciously.
David looked at him. "You're welcome!" he grinned. "Anyway, so did Selena! And besides, it was true. Nobody should be judged solely on their past actions..."
"Oh, is this because of what you did..."
"YES! God, did EVERYONE listen in on that?"
"I'm afraid we did!" David could almost fool himself into thinking Saturos had nearly smiled. A genuine smile, not the cool sneer that could paralyse his enemies at forty paces.
David looked out to the sea. "You don't always have to act like you don't care, you know." He said. "You were concerned about me after the incident with Garet."
Saturos was about to protest but David pressed on. "I was blind. And that meant I could only hear you. I heard your concern in your voice. You couldn't hide it behind a sneer, or a scowl, because if you did, I couldn't see it."
Saturos didn't know what to say. For the first time in his life he was speechless. And he didn't like it.
"Listen whelp, I don't know where you get off on these mind games, but I'm NOT having it!" he spat his words like poison, and stormed off.
David was shocked, and then decided to let it go. He turned his attention back to the thing he now loved. Being able to see.
-
Leo was in his room. Thinking. This whole spy business had him troubled. What, with that, Sheba, and his OWN problems. He wanted to talk to someone, but he didn't know whom he could trust. He wasn't particularly close to Ivan or Jenna, and he HATED Saturos. Those where the only three to be a "safe" bet. He couldn't believe it. It was David, Selena or Karalen. It had to be. Not Sheba, she was in a coma. One of them? No. It can't be one of them.
Can it?
There was a soft knock at his door.
"Come in." Leo said.
Karalen poked her head around. "Thought you could do with cheering up!" she beamed. "Everyone's so glum!"
Leo nodded. "Can you blame them?"
"No, I guess not..." said Karalen. "Ivan has been so distant. He wont talk to me anymore."
"You like him, don't you?" grinned Leo.
"WHAT?!?"
"You heard."
Karalen blushed. "Well, maybe a bit... but there are so many other girls he could be with!"
"Hmm, yeah, we have Selena, who seems to like GIRLS, we have Jenna the alcoholic, and Sheba..." he stopped.
"Oh, Leo, I'm sorry, I wanted to take you're mind OFF of that!" Karalen peered at his face. "Do you care for her?"
"Selena asked me that."
"And?"
"Not in that way."
"Are us you're?"
"Positive."
"But how-"
"BECAUSE I'M GAY, ALRIGHT?!?"
Leo instantly regretted that. Karalen giggled. "And that's a problem? Hey, do you like David? He's gay too isn't he?"
Leo looked at her. "Just because we're both gay, doesn't mean we instantly LIKE each other."
"But why keep it a secret? David's gay, no problem. And Selena has had girlfriends."
Leo hung his head. "Its just hard, ok?"
"Well, ok, but I think you should talk to the others about it. They'll understand."
And with that, Karalen left Leo with his thoughts.
-
"There it is!" breathed Selena. "Prox."
A lot of the ice had cleared since Mars Lighthouse had been lit, and there was barely any snow.
Ivan smiled. "Now, lets see if we can get through this lighthouse!" Without any more casualties, he thought.
