As Alfred sits his mate down he can't help but get a sense of Déjà vu. "Alright let me see." He says trying to hide a smile. It's not deep; that much he can tell but the way the Alpha is acting it's a matter of life or death. "Come on." He says pressing the cloth to his lover's forehead.

"Fuck." Allistor mutters closing his eyes. "It stings."

Replacing the cloth with his lips, Alfred answers. "It's nothing so stop over reacting." As soon as Allistor shots him a glare the Omega bandages it. "Just be thankful it wasn't worse."

"Well I have you two, three to thank for that." His gaze turns to the other half breed standing by the door way. "You were ready ta give them hell."

"I'm still fucking ready." Jason crosses his arms looking up at the ceiling. He won't admit it but his new found family has grown on him. "They act like we're all expendable or some shit."

"Well aren't we?" Natalia answers from her spot by the window. "We're not their kind so why should they care?"

Jason sends a growl her way. "Why are you even here?"

"I have as much right as you do to be here." Her smile never wavers. "Alfred invited me so I shouldn't be the one you're fighting with."

"Yeah well," Jason says as Arthur takes his arm, it's a cue to drop what he was planning on saying to the shorter woman. "Whatever..."

"Nat," Alfred says sitting down next to Gilbert on their bed. "I invited you here because you said you had a plan on how to get out of here."

"And I do."

"So are you gonna tell us or piss around more?"

"Hmm?"

She wants to play with the Alphas; she has been for a while after all. Each breed, each leader she's been able to wrap around her fingers to get them to do her biding but Alfred steps forward and looks her right in the eye. "Can we talk?" He doesn't give her a chance to answer as he takes her hand and walks out the door. Once they're alone he turns back to her. "Okay so I respect you and shit but stop."

"Stop what?" She cocks her head to the side in mock confusion. He's a male and soon she'll have him like all the rest.

"I get you don't like them but I love them and I won't stand by and let you treat them like shit. Jason I get but even he's not a complete dick." He crosses his arms. "So even though I love you too if you'd rather play games go play them with someone else."

As he's about to turn away she takes his hand. "Wait." She's sure it's not a bluff by his tone. "I've been working on this for two years and I can't fail now."

"And we've been here for six months. Hell I've known you for nearly three so maybe I could be let in on what the fuck you're planning?" He feels a kick so he starts to rub the spot absent mindly. "At least a little bit?"

Her eyes lower watching his hand for a moment. "Is she upset?"

"No she's just letting me know she's there and don't try to change the subject." While he says it a new thought enters his mind seeing a longing on her face. "Can I have your hand?"

"Why?"

Taking it he smiles. "Cause I want it." Gently he places it where his daughter is kicking. "She's a little fox so while she's not a hyena I know you care about her too. It's an Omega thing that is in every breed." His eyes shine as she looks away trying to hide her face in her long hair. "We use our bodies to get what we want but aren't you tired?"

"I wasn't born to be a mother." With a pat to his stomach she gives a halfhearted smile. "I was born to fight and protect my clan..." She stops as memories flood back. "Follow me and try to keep up."

As quick as he can the blonde follows the shorter Hyena as she disappears into a crack in the wall that's hidden behind the shadows of one of the many stairs. "Okay..." He starts as he manages to squeeze into the tiny hole praying the whole time not to get stuck. "Nat?" He asks once he's through.

"Over here." Her voice calls out a few feet away. "It's only dark in here. Once we get out into the wall there's sky lights." She takes his wrist guiding him towards another crack in the wall. "It's a tight squeeze but I promise it's worth it."

"I hope so cause if I get stuck you'll have to get the guys to get me out," he says with a light laugh as he wiggles though it. "Oh thank god..." He turns around coming face to face with a dozen or more Avians. Each one looks at him in a mix of confusion and relief and in the corner on the farthest wall he meets a pair of brown eyes he knows. "Lovi?"

The Prince stands on weak legs, bracing himself against the wall as his wings fall to his side as the Omega hurries over to him. "I thought I recognized that loud voice." Like he expected the Omega hugs him. "I hate hugs." He manages to say pulling the man in tighter breathing in the younger man's scent.

"Good to know." Alfred answers helping him back down onto the floor. "Are you in pain?"

"Just my wings but you can't really do anything about it." His eyes move up and down confused at the sight before him. "Shouldn't you look thinner by now?"

"Shouldn't you have told me if you lay eggs by now?" It's hard for the Omega to see the Avian withering away in front of him. "Can I get you anything?"

Slowly the Alpha reaches out taking Alfred's hand. "Get my people out of here."

Squeezing it Alfred nods. "We will...I promise." He looks up at her knowing they're running on borrowed time. "And it'll be soon."
