-Carter Kane-

"Uh, what?" My throat burned with anger towards Amos' words.

"Carter, it's way too risky to have you run around with them-" He continued.

"We've done risky before and you were fine-" I snarled.

"This is worse than even Apophis, so don't try to slam that back at me, Carter." Amos stood his ground. "I am your guardian no matter what title we wear, I won't let you die out there for some Goddess to earn her war."

"But it's okay if you sacrifice yourself for us?" I brought up again, which Sadie stood in shock. "Ever think that might be enough to start it?"

"You can get our side to stay neutral, I can't," Amos snarled. "You two know the Per Ankh is nervous around me as it is."

"But it's okay if two kids end up leading them rather than the host of Set?" I continued.

"Hosts of Horus and Isis have been more valuable than Hosts of Set," Amos reminded.

"You can come with us, but we're staying with the original plan," Sadie spoke up.

Amos turned to his niece in surprise. "You didn't like the idea of it in the first place."

"Yeah, but I've changed my mind," Sadie stood her ground. "We need their help, they need ours."

"The Per Ankh needs their Chief Lector and Pharaoh, otherwise it will just be a mess-" He explained.

"Then go be the Chief Lector for them," Sadie urged, "but Carter and I are staying here for the sake of the world, again."

Amos sighed, his posture relaxing a little. "I really should have been more of an adult figure around you two," he grumbled. "Listen up; you two are teenagers and still need guidance no matter how much you think you don't. So you need to start listening to the adults more than you have been."

"Oh really now? Pull the adult card on us?" Sadie growled. "Come on Amos, you know us better than to think that will work."

"I would hate to force you two to come back to Brooklyn," Amos warned. "Look, we have some serious issues stirring up in our own world. If they need our assistance again, they know how to reach us."

"Yeah, because we will be standing beside them when it happens," I added.

Tense silence for two minutes before Amos cleared his throat. "We will be in Brooklyn once the other party is in sight. No arguments, just acceptance." He finalized and left.

"Like that will happen," Sadie growled.

"We should just listen-" I started.

"Oh no we're not," Sadie finalized. "It's time you've done something rebellious in your life Carter."

"Uh, we've been breaking rules left and right Sadie," I reminded her.

She waved it off. "That was a family thing that was forced upon us. This is what we are doing."
