"With a possible war coming we need you to be able to fight, now you have strength and sleep we can train you properly." Scar had left the tent and it was me and Pan alone again.
"I take it I sucked before?"
"You weren't bad, but not bad is not good but you were determined. You still knocked me down even when you were close to dead. We need people like you, people who don't care if they die, they just care that their enemy is out too."
"Determined?" Of all the things I've been called I don't think determined has come up once. Lazy, yes. Worthless, yes. Determined? Never.
"Yes, you used the last of your energy cornering me and even when I'd beat you you still chose to knock me down." he gestures to the tent door. "The other boys used that time to plead for their lives," his nose wrinkles in disgust, "pathetic. Perhaps I've been wrong keeping girls from Neverland," he winces and grabs his head, I'm about to jump up and help him but refrain, he does not seem like that would be taken well, when he stands up he heads towards the door,"but perhaps not."
I follow, "what's happening?"
Pan addresses all the boys, "Someone is in Neverland. Someone uninvited. Go find them and bring them to me, alive."
