Chapter 8-
Who Can I Trust?
Simon tries to talk Alec down…
Magnus goes back to talk to Izzy and works on the case
Notes:
Yay! Entire chapter up in one day…
Yesterday I got sidetracked I was working on the story but I jumped ahead to chapter 11 (When we get there you'll understand)
*~********~*~********~* Simon-Simon-Simon-Simon-Simon *~********~*~********~*Okay he had to get this situated, that could have been really bad back there.
Magnus had been getting pretty defensive- he's seen his power sparking up…he didn't think Magnus would actually hurt him, but he no doubt knew ways to wipe a memory or something like that…This case was confusing enough- he didn't want to add a partner not remembering part of the case to it.
Or him not remembering for that matter…
He knew Magnus couldn't tell them everything, kinda figured they'd reach a point eventually where he'd hide some parts of the case from them (Couldn't very well tell two human detectives about demons, magic, spells or whatever else…not without ending up being sent for a psych eveal.)
Still he'd kinda hoped the High Warlock Of Brooklyn would have a better poker face.
Alec wasn't gonna back down, that just wasn't who he was. They were really gonna need Magnus and Raphael on this; hopefully he'd be able to smooth it over.
First though he had to catch his partner.
Simon sped up, rushing after Alec,
"A-Alec will you- just wait a minute!" he exclaimed, catching up to Alec putting his hand on his shoulder to get him to pause.
"Magnus w-"
Alec stopped abruptly, whirling around, shaking his head.
"He lied! I know he did, a-"
"Okay, wait- you're being kinda loud, it's gonna attract attention…let's not do this here, j-just come on." Simon turned leading Alec over to the cold case room, pushing the door open, ushering him in, pulling to door back closed behind them.
He cast a quick glance around the room, ensuring they were alone before turning back to his partner.
Man, he looked pissed.
Simon took a deep breath, leaning back against the wall,
"Alright, so what makes you think he lied?"
Alec scoffed, shaking his head, gesturing agitatedly,
"Because I Saw him! I saw the way he looked at the marks; he wasn't just looking, he was reading them. I saw recognition and surprise in his expression. He knows what they are, what they say."
Well then at least someone on the case maybe has a clue what the hell is going on.
Simon sighed, shrugging,
"I really don't know how he could; we've been at this for weeks and haven't been able to find anyone who could. Even our research into the Echocian didn't turn up anyone who really knew it enough to read…
M-maybe he just found them interesting…or…or it reminded him of something he's seen before- he said he traveled a lot and liked to learn about obscure cultures and stuff, maybe it clicked with something like that?"
Alec paused a moment before shaking his head,
"If that's the case, why would he lie about it? Why would he say he's never seen anything like it?"
Simon paused, grasping for a plausible answer,
"Well…maybe it's just a really long shot and he doesn't want to get our hopes up? I mean, if it's just maybe vaguely like something he saw one time maybe he just wants to double check or do some research to see if it's just a total waste of time before he brings it up.
I don't think he's really the type to just throw out random ideas and see if they pan out- he seems like the kind who always wants to seem sure, in control…that doesn't work if you're just making wild guesses."
"Yeah…that's true…" Alec said thoughtfully, giving a slight nod, before seemingly hesitating, shaking his head,
"Okay but why flat out deny it? Even if he's not sure, why not just say that? He has an idea but doesn't know yet…
Why specifically say he's never seen anything like it?"
"I-well…" Simon trailed off, shaking his head.
"I really don't know…" he conceded, hastening to add,
"But just because we don't know why doesn't automatically mean it's something bad. Maybe it's something personal, or weird or embarrassing or something that you just flat out don't want to discuss with someone you've known less than a week…"
Alec scoffed, quirking his eyebrow
"I doubt that guy even processes embarrassment, and in the last three days he's made more sexual innuendos and suggestions to me than I have heard…well…probably ever.
There's no way he's just suddenly shy about something."
Yeah he's got him there…
Still…
"Well that's true but even so, no matter how confident or extraverted you are most everyone has something they'd prefer to keep private. A-"
"Simon whatever the reason is irrelevant. He has information about the case that he is keeping from us; the entire reason we're working together is to be able to help each other, to share information…
If he's not going to there's no reason we should."
Simon sighed, shaking his head,
"Alec…honestly that kinda seems petty-" Simon put his hands up, trying to cut off the denial he was already seeing ramp up, he shook his head
"We're the cops, we are supposed to be better than the criminals, we're held to a higher standard. You've already said he's hiding stuff; you agreed not to ask him about whatever it is he does, to just focus on the case. I really don't think we can expect complete honesty from a criminal.
We need to get this solved. I don't care who finds what, I just want to get this solved so the people of this city are safe again…just because he's not being totally honest with us doesn't mean he can't still be valuable to the investigation."
Alec groaned, waving his hand, agitatedly
"Yeah I never should have agreed to that…and that's another thing; I know I said I wouldn't ask, and I know I said I thought he was dangerous…but I'm really beginning to wonder just HOW dangerous."
Simon tilted his head,
"What do y-"
"Did you see him around the body? There were no nerves, no disgust, no fear, squeamishness, not even any remorse or really any empathy…
He was interested and curious; he leaned in closer to get a better look at the symbols.
He wasn't bothered at all.
There was no way that was the only dead body he's seen. And it wasn't just he's good at covering his nerves or whatever; he was totally desensitized to it, it didn't even register as anything really out of the ordinary.
It takes months in the medical or law enforcement field to get to that point…at least for all the people I know who are like that.
He's a club owner
There's no way he shouldn't have had any reaction to it…
No way."
"Okay but m-"
He shook his head adamantly,
"What, he dropped out of medical school to open a club? Please, I'm not stupid. I know I've been saying this entire time he was dangerous but I don't think it really registered as HOW dangerous. I can't trust him…If I can't trust him I can't work with him, it's simple as that."
Simon sighed,
"Alec it's not that simple…if he can get information we can't th-"
"Yes it is! I can't work with someone who I can't trust, who hides information on the case from me.
I can't…"
God going around again, we don't have time for this…there's something going on here, something killing innocent people- in all likelihood summoning a freaking demon…
They don't have time for this go round
"Well-"
"No Simon, that's all there is to it if he's hiding information t-"
"Well maybe you're better off not knowing!" Simon snapped irritatedly,
Alec froze, eyes wide
"What?"
Oh crap…
"I-I just mean maybe he's keeping it from you for your own good."
Alec scoffed
"What he's trying to protect me?"
Simon shrugged,
"Well…maybe that's what he thinks, I me-"
"No, you know what…just stop." He cut him off holding his hand up, shaking his head,
Simon blinked
"W-wha-"
"You have been making excuses for him all this time-"
Simon shook his head quickly
"No! I'm not, I j-"
"Yes you have…ever since we left Izzy's; coming up with every random off the wall justification trying to get me to just give up and go along with whatever he is willing to give us."
"I'm just trying to get this solved."
Alec's eyes widened
"And I'm not?I want this solved just as much as you do, but if he's hiding evidence from us what the hell makes you SO damn sure he's the key to solving this? Why are you so dead set on him sticking around?
I get that you like Raphael, and with them working the case with us it gives you a chance to get to know him, but is that really worth turning your back on your partner?"
Simon shook his head quickly,
"Alec, no I'm not, I j-"
"Simon, you have not had my back once during this. You have been siding with him from the moment he showed up. I don't know why, but you have." He paused, tilting his head, eyes going sharp and distrustful,
"You know, this entire time I've been saying about how odd people act around him; Luke, Phineas, so many of the people down at the station.
I saw it in everyone else-how they reacted how they all know something about him that I don't; why didn't I see it in you?"
Simon froze
Oh crap!
God if he says something about Simon knowing about any of this he's toast…
He shook his head quickly, trying to calm him down…to deescalate the situation.
"I-what? I don't know anything about him…I met him at the station you were there." He offered quickly,
Alec shook his head,
"Yeah you did, but you've been siding with him ever since. And yesterday at the scene- I didn't realize it then but you kept trying to distract me, keeping me busy, but you kept looking over at him.
What, did you already know? Did Raphael tell you something about it? Am I the only one who doesn't know what the hell this guys up to?" he demanded
Simon faltered, eyes wide, not knowing what to say, he just shook his head, giving a hesitant shrug, trying to seem his usual, faintly confused, self,
"I-Alec…I really don't know…I just met the guy the other day, I know nothing more about him than you- probably less as you spent most of yesterday with him…
A-All I've been trying to do is get everyone to get along and work together to solve the case, so that the public is safe again.
That's it…
I really don't know anything else."
Alec's gaze flickered over him, taking in everything. Simon fidgeted, trying to seem as sincere as possible,
He seemed to soften for a moment, before giving a faint sigh, shaking his head, folding his arms across himself,
"I don't know what's going on with this guy or why everyone seems to know something I don't and constantly sides with him. I don't know.
But what I do know is you've been doing the same thing as the rest of them…you've been siding with him and haven't had my back once where he is concerned.
I don't know what the hell is going on, but this is not how a partner's supposed to act.
Like I said I can't work with someone I can't trust…
And right now that includes you too." he finished giving a disappointed shake of his head, turning on heel, storming out the door, closing it with a resounding slam.
W-what the hell just happened?
How'd he go from trying to deescalate the tension between Magnus and Alec to Alec not trusting him?
There was nothing he could say to fix this…
Nothing to make it okay…
Simon swallowed a few times, slumping back against the wall, rubbing at his face, totally at a loss as to what to do next.
*~********~*~********~* Magnus-Magnus-Magnus-Magnus-Magnus *~********~*~********~*W-what the hell happened?
How did this get so out of hand so fast?
Absently he wandered out of the elevator, slipping into an unattended interrogation room to think for a moment, settling on the edge of the desk.
What happened?
Was he really that obvious?
I mean yeah, he was kinda blindsided by the writing but he thought he covered his reactions well enough.
They had been doing wonderfully…Alexander had met him this morning with a
coffee and a smile. He was joking…nearly flirty…
Mmm…
It had been an absolute delight…
He was so intoxicating, so captivating.
Everything was wonderful.
Then…then everything just changed…it was like a switch was flipped. What happened? When did it change?
He'd called him out about his reaction to the marks…but how did he pick up on it?
And was that when it changed, during the examination of the body?
N-no…thinking back he was quiet before that...from when he and Izzy rejoined them.
He'd seemed different…
Subdued, much quieter…the flirting stopped, which could have just been because of the solemn circumstances, but…that didn't feel right.
His eyes were sharp, focused…watching Magnus, but not like yesterday…it was more like when they'd first met…like he was watching for something…
Hmm…
Playing a hunch he pulled out his phone, quickly locating the number for Alejandra's, connecting the call.
"Good Morning, thank you for calling Alejandra's, this is Jennifer, how may I help you?"
"Hello Jennifer; I was calling to see about a reservation for Thursday evening…are there any openings?"
"Hmm…we are pretty full that night but I do have a few openings h-"
He hung up the phone, shaking his head in faint disbelief, giving a slightly amused huff of a laugh.
Damn, she's good…
He didn't see any red flags…
He pushed off the table, making his way back to the elevator, hitting the button, heading back down to the morgue level.
The elevator dinged, doors sliding open, Magnus slipped out, making his way back to Izzy's office. She was sitting at her desk, seemingly comparing the information in a few thick folders. He reached up, tapping lightly at the door. She startled faintly, looking up, eyes widening, tilting her head curiously,
"Magnus? What are you doing here? Did you forget something?"
He leaned against the door, quirking his eyebrow, giving a slight smirk,
"You know, I really have to hand it to you…I had no clue you were lying…remind me never to invite you to a poker game."
She paused for a moment, before giving a faint sigh standing up, leisurely making her way around, leaning against the desk, giving a rather careless wave,
"Duly noted. So why are you back?" she asked flatly, locking eyes with him, gaze sharp, bright and focused…nearly unsettling…
Damn he liked this girl
Magnus gave a faint chuckle,
"So…crazy thing…everything was going perfectly today, then we come down here and your brother totally changes…blows up, insisting he can't work with me…that he can't trust me.
Do you have any idea why he'd think that?"
She quirked her eyebrow,
"You mean a reason like why exactly a guy who runs a nightclub was totally comfortable less than a foot from a dead body? Totally desensitized to it…it takes YEARS to get to that level of comfort, and yet you, Magnus, were perfectly fine…"
Oh crap…he totally missed that
He gave a faint shrug,
"Oh that…I've had a rather eccentric life, bounced around ideas of different professions before I kind of stumbled into the club…
For a time I worked as a coroners assistant."
She tilted her head in surprise, sharp eyes looking for any trace of a lie.
She wouldn't find one; it actually was the truth…
It was in the late 1880's and working with Scotland Yard trying to track down Jack the Ripper-
Well, work with…keeping them from finding out the killers a demon infected with a primal virus…same difference-
Still he wasn't lying.
She quirked her eyebrow,
"You really worked as a Coroner's assistant?"
He gave a faint nod,
"Yes…it's rather macabre I understand but it started as a dare- I've never been one to back down from a challenge- and I seemed to have a knack for it.
Eventually I grew bored and moved onto something else but I suppose some things remain. I hadn't mentioned it because…well there's no none ominous way to work 'I'm perfectly comfortable around dead bodies' into a conversation…well…unless you're actually trying to get someone to go away."
She gave a surprised laugh, nodding…
"Yeah…I've actually used that when the whole 'I'm a lesbian' thing wasn't enough to get guys to give up. Surprisingly, going into explicit details and specifics of an autopsy works better than pepper spray."
He chuckled,
"I could see that…perhaps after he cools down I will explain."
She quirked her eyebrow,
"When you do will you also explain why you lied about knowing about the Markings? Or you could tell me."
Wow…she's sharp,
He shook his head, sighing
"I d-"
She scoffed
"Yes you did…I don't know how, but you saw something, at the very least you've seen them before. You recognized them. I'm not sure why you're so dead set on denying it, but you did."
He huffed
"That's the same thing Alec said."
She smiled, shrugging
"What can I say, my big brother's one of the smartest people I know…he can even keep up with me…
Well most of the time, anyways."
Magnus smirked, raising his eyebrow
"Sweetheart bragging is rather unbecoming."
She scoffed, giving an unconcerned shrug,
"It's not bragging if it's the truth…I'm just telling you like it is. You can't get something past him, and you sure as hell won't get it past me.
Trying to is just a waste of both our time."
He shook his head giving a slightly disbelieving chuckle,
Man, forget the demon, these 'Lightwoods' may prove to be the biggest challenge of this case.
"Look I don't know what you think b-"
"What I think is that you are a hell of a lot more than just some pretty, flashy club owner. I've been there, I've seen you…seen how people react to you.
I saw a group of bikers run away from you like the hounds of hell were on their heels. I've seen fully grown, tough, violent felons- that I know are felons because I remember them being arrested- cowering from you.
I know you're not just some flashy guy with an overdramatic edge and a colorful personality. - I know that you're someone dangerous- something dangerous.
I might not know what it is- but I know it's there,
And so does Alec."
Magnus sighed, leaning back against the wall, for once at a loss as to how to get out of this…there were spells, but anything involving the memory was quite tricky and he didn't want to risk wiping something important.
He shook his head, giving an aggravated huff,
"Why are you even telling me this? God, you and your brother…it baffles me…I mean if you think someone's a criminal why the hell would you TELL them you know that?"
She shrugged
"Because one thing we have in common is we don't play the pandering game; we don't turn a blind eye just because it's the easier option."
He rolled his eyes,
"Up till today I found that as one of Alexander's more enticing qualities…it's rather wearing thin now."
She gave a scoffing laugh,
"Well, hate to tell you this, but if you're interested in my brother you're just gonna have to get used to it, cause it's not going away. He won't just back down or play nice…"
He laughed sharply, nodding,
"Oh believe me I know…it's distracting as hell…"
She tilted her head,
"So why won't you tell him about the marks?"
He gave an aggravated sound, gesturing sharply, magic surging up,
"Because I can't, alright?! I cannot even begin to explain it to him, I know he'll hate that, and I know he thinks it means he can't trust me…
And I hate that…I do not like lying to him; he's fascinating and intoxicating and intriguing, and I cannot remember the last time I met someone who got to me this quickly…I don't know if I ever have. I would love nothing more than to simply be able to give him what he wants, give him answers, let him know he can trust me…
But I can't.
Not on this." He trailed off quietly, taking a few deep breaths, pulling his magic back.
She blinked a few times, deflating a bit, sighing, giving a faint nod,
"Is it something to do with whatever you are involved in?"
He sighed, trying to think how to word this; the girl seemed to be a human lie detector so whatever he said had to be the truth…just not ALL the truth,
"Kind of…it's connected to it."
She nodded, leveling him with a sharp, probing look,
"Are you in any way connected to the murders?"
He shook his head,
"No…not at all. I would generally try to stay out of this kind of thing. I only got involved when it affected someone I love. My darling friend Clary's occult shop was vandalized…seeing the shop like that was…it hurt… Clarissa is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I've ever met. That shop is her heart and soul.
She thinks they were motivated by fear of the Supernatural elements in this case, lashing out at the only magical connection they could see. I shudder to think what would have happen if she was there.
After that happened I just wanted to get this solved so she would be safe again…so the city could move past this absurdity and we can all get on with our lives."
Izzy gave a slight nod
"I'm glad your friend is okay."
Magnus gave a faint smile,
"Thank you darling."
She returned the smile, before sobering faintly,
"Would what you know about the markings in any way help us solve the case?"
He gave a huffing laugh, shaking his head
"No…all it would do is bring up an endless, convoluted, tangled mess of more questions."
She gave a slight nod, before pausing, tilting her head, something flickering in her eyes,
"Will it help you track down the killer?"
He gave a noncommittal shrug and a slight wave,
"It is possible."
"If you find him, are you going to turn him in?"
He sighed
"That is plan A…"
She quirked her eyebrow
"How many plans do you have?"
He shrugged
"Factoring in all the possibilities, complications, twists, fail-safe's and the like? About thirty."
She gave a sharp laugh, eyes widening,
"Well at least you're prepared…" she trailed off, thinking for a moment, before giving a faint sigh, shifting her gaze back at him.
"I want this solved…the murders to stop, and for the city to be safe again."
He nodded
"I want that as well…all I am trying to do is make sure people are safe…I know it may not seem like it, but that is my only motivation here."
Izzy sighed, giving a faint nod,
"That's all Alec wants too. Once this is all over and the case is done he'll cool down. If you can show him that he can trust you- even if you can't always tell him everything- I think you guys will be okay."
Magnus blinked in surprise,
"You really think so?"
She smiled giving a faint shrug,
"What I think is I've never seen him act like he was this morning with you…not with only knowing someone a few days. He's definitely interested in you…when we talked I just told him he should be careful around you. Like I said I've seen you at the club, and yeah the coroner's assistant thing is a good explanation for earlier…
But I am far from stupid; I know you're dangerous. I could see how intrigued he was with you and I didn't know what all he knew about you…for all I knew he just thought you were a flashy, fun carefree club owner. Usually he's pretty good at picking up on danger, but usually the danger isn't quite so pretty and inviting. I just wanted to be sure he wasn't going to be totally blindsided.
I'm just protecting him."
Magnus gave a faint nod, shrugging,
"I cannot very well fault you for that, but I assure you; regardless of whatever else I might be, I am no threat to Alexander."
She gave a sharp smile, gaze going hard,
"That's good, because like I said I know you're dangerous…but you should know, if you hurt my brother I really don't care who you are or what you're involved in, it won't protect you."
Wow…
He actually had to fight the urge to take a step back,
Damn she's good
He shook his head, putting his hands up placatingly,
"That is the farthest thing from my intentions."
She gave a sharp nod,
"Then we won't have a problem. Give him some time to cool down, get the case solved, then just give it another shot…like I said I've never seen him like that with someone. I think you can win him over…
Though it might take some work…
But he's worth it."
Magnus chuckled softly, nodding,
"Yes…he really is."
She gave a satisfied nod, smirking,
"Good…well, now that we have the family threats dramatics out of the way, maybe you can get going? You're not gonna solve the case standing around my office gossiping about boys…plus I'm SO not the audience for it-
One, Lesbian,
Two, it's my brother…so…
Three, Eww…
Maybe try Simon."
He chuckled
"Well I suppose it would give me a chance to continue talking Raph up to him, the boy really is quite taken with Simon."
She quirked her eyebrow,
"Someone has a thing for Simon!" She paused,
"Who is this 'Raph'?"
Magnus rolled his eyes
"Raphael Santiago, my best friend."
She folded her arms, giving him a suspicious look,
"Am I gonna have to give him a speech too? Simon may not be my brother, but he's one of my closest friends, and hands down the sweetest guy I've ever met. All the things I said about Alec go for Simon too."
He chuckled, holding his hands up,
"His intentions are honorable I assure you."
"Good…I'm still doing the speech whenever I meet him."
He shook his head, huffing out a laugh, pushing off the wall, starting back for the door.
"I look forward to it.
So, when we get this whole mess sorted you're still going to come by the club, yes?"
She scoffed
"Of course I am! How often do you get a chance to hang out at Pandemonium with The Magnus Bane?"
He shot her a quick smirk and a wink, pulling the door closed, making his way back to the elevator.
He sighed,
Perhaps for the time being this is for the best.
He really did think he'd hid his reactions fairly good but he'd been rather blindsided by the symbols. He'd recognized the language as Iaith-wrth back at the first sight, but even so he had no idea what it would say.
He was lucky he covered his reaction as well as he did. They just saw recognition- they didn't see panic, or fear, or the near heart stopping dread when it really clicked what he was seeing in the writing…
What it truly was…
He was most definitely NOT expecting that.
The writing was a spell; an ancient, unbelievably dark spell.
He'd been trying to figure out what the demon could possibly be doing, knowing it was far more complicated than just it trying to cross over…The precision, the similarities, the ritualistic elements, it all spoke of far more…He knew it wouldn't be anything good.
Still he was not prepared for this…
It was a Pont yr hollt spell.
A spell to reopen the door between realms, to reconnect the Human world with Calon tywyll. If the demon was successful this would literally release hell on earth.
Honestly, putting aside his disappointment at Alexander's sudden change it may quite well be for the best…at least for the moment. He really could not afford any distractions.
He needed to find the spell, see what all was entailed and how to stop it. If a demon is trying to raise hell on earth, foiling it was not going to be a job for the human detectives…
Plus in truth he'd really prefer it if both Alexander and Simon were nowhere near a power mad demon hell-bent on bringing about an apocalypse…
Not that there's really anywhere 'safe' should he fail.
Still he'd prefer the two be as far as possible fom the whole demon confrontation thing.
In order to stop it he had to locate the exact spell- And he had to do it fast.
He'd seen a few for this purpose in some of the books Declan had given him. These spells were ancient and unnervingly powerful…
There were already six deaths, six sacrifices…
The hexagram was complete.
As hell has not already risen he's guessing there's more than just that. In all likelihood one more sacrifice, right in the center of the hexagram.
That would be the last step…if he didn't stop that sacrifice, then this one mid-level demon will be nothing compared to what they'd be facing.
All of the deaths have occurred at night- between 10 and 2am…it was just now 11 AM…that left around eleven hours to find the spell, find a way to block or cancel it, figure out where the sacrifice is going to occur as the 'center of the hexagram' puts it right in the heart of Brooklyn leaving an untold amount of possible locations, find Raj and the Demon, get Raj to believe that the 'Angel' he's been helping is in fact a demon, and convince him to help as he summoned the demon he will almost certainly be needed to break the demons connection to this world and send it back without letting anything else cross over...
He really didn't have much time…
He had to get started, find the spell and Raj before he and the demon preformed the last sacrifice.
He'd deal with his Alexander drama later, after the whole Demon releasing hell on earth thing was dealt with…
Right now he needed to figure out how to find Raj…
That'll be quite a challenge in and of itself,
The man could be anywhere in the city.
He didn't even know where to begin…
*~********~*~********~* Other-Other-Other-Other-Other *~********~*~********~* RajRaj watched as the detective stormed down the steps of the precinct making his way towards the parking structure. He shook his head, taking a deep, nervous breath looking over in fear at the angel.
"A-are you sure it has to be him? He's a cop…"
The angel tilted its head, sighing,
"I know…but he is the perfect sacrifice…he's compassionate, altruistic and brave-
He wouldn't hesitate to give his life to protect others.
He's the one…trust me…this is the only way." The Angel asserted, reaching over, resting his hand on Raj's shoulder, squeezing lightly, it leaned closer, talking right by his ear,
"It's time… he's alone and agitated; he's vulnerable… we can get him now…the spell won't work until the moon is up, it will be in the right position between six and eight tonight…that is when we can complete the ritual…"
Raj shivered, wrapping his arms around himself,
The angel sighed, resting it's other hand on his right shoulder, squeezing tightly.
"You are doing fine Raj…we're almost done. Tonight the ritual will be complete…your world will be safe…
Just this one more step, and all will be as it should.
We're saving humanity." It said, voice nearly a whisper, fingers flexing against his shoulders,
Raj shuttered again, swallowing, giving a shaky nod,
"W-we're saving humanity." He said softly
*~********~*~********~* _End Of Chapter Notes_ *~********~*~********~*Pont yr hollt = Bridge The rift

What do you guys think so far?
