Wolfe considered something, "Frei will be going," he told him, "Do you want to go?" It seemed like Wolfe was actually giving Raven a choice.
|
Raven blinked blankly. "... I'm not sure how much help I'd be," he replied honestly. With Laurel or the Okirie family.
|
"... You might be able to help Laurel in a way we can't. She always goes to you after all," Wolfe added, "And Nic's still out."
|
Raven still didn't seem to have much confidence in himself, but he didn't argue.
|
Wolfe continued to stare at Raven for a moment before turning back towards the screen, "Someone should inform Yue. Snow, go prep one of our Jets." Snow nodded, "One of our accounts has a significant decrease in funds."
"So she stole from us as well," Wolfe sighed. |
Blaze went to go tell Yue, while Raven went to change and pack.
|
Frei was in the infirmary, wrapping the scarf around Nic's neck gently. She seemed rather sad.
Wolfe followed after Raven after a moment and once they were clear of everyone he reached out and grabbed Raven's arm, "You don't have to go if you don't wish to," he said quietly. |
"... I'll do what I can," Raven replied with a half smile.
|
Wolfe sighed, "I would go instead but Pepper would explode," he explained with a slight tone of grudge.
|
"... Probably all over me to," Raven mused.
|
"She doesn't think we should 'waste out resources' going after Laurel," he replied before looking Raven over. If Raven looked closely he might see some pink in Wolfe's cheeks.
|
Raven didn't seem to notice, figuring it had something to do with him still being a little wet from the pool. He nodded a little, waiting for Wolfe to let go or keep talking.
|
Wolfe finally cleared his throat, "Be careful," he said as he let go of Raven.
|
Raven paused a moment before nodding and starting to walk off again.
|
There was a pause before Wolfe grabbed his arm again and forced him around and... into a kiss. He pulled away quickly, "I mean it! Be smarter than usual," he spat, the force of his words was ruined, however, by his red face as he let go of Raven.
|
A big smirk crossed Raven's face. "... I'll try," he promised.
|
Wolfe's red face clashed a bit with his pink hair, "This is serious. You're such a hick you can't even-" he grunted in frustration as he abruptly turned and started to walk away, "...Whatever."
|
Raven scratched his head a little, not sure what to think. But he gave Wolfe the benefit of the doubt. "... I'll miss you too," he called after him before continuing on his way.
|
It wasn't long until the Jet was in prepped. "How's Yue doing?" Snow asked when Blaze arrived.
|
"... Not that great," Blaze accessed honestly.
|
"But she's conscious?" Snow asked.
|
Blaze nodded. "I don't think she'll slip back into the coma. But it appears the experience was pretty traumatic."
|
"What exactly is that trance they go into?" Snow asked as she worked on the controls, "Something specific to the Yin Long?"
|
Blaze paused a moment before explaining the best she could. In the end she didn't know all that much. Just that a few families in the Yin Long had a meditation technique that could put someone into a state like Yue's if preformed wrong. And that there was apparently a drug a few years back they had tested. Even they eventually banned it because it was so unstable. But some of the younger members figured out how to make it. There was a rumor going around that if you used it right, you could share dreams with someone. Some who had tried it swore by it, while others had no success. Blaze concluded Nic had intended to test that rumor. But in addition to the sedative, it nearly killed him. Similar circumstances had come up in the past in Yin Long that she'd heard of before, so that's how she knew how to handle the situation.
|
Snow sighed, "Nic should have told Laurel instead of writing that stupid note. That might have stopped this madness." She flipped another switch, "Where are the others?"
|
"On their way, I'd imagine," Blaze replied.
A few minutes later Raven came by with his bag, Aaron walking beside him. It looked like they were saying a quick goodbye. |
Frei came last and took the pilot chair. There were no rooms in this sleek jet. Only seat in the back.
|
So everyone strapped themselves in when they were ready to go.
|
So Frei took off. Snow settled in next to Raven and promptly fell asleep.
Wolfe decided to pay Yue a visit. |
Raven also fell asleep. Blaze pulled out her tablet.
Yue was in her room drying off her hair. |
Wolfe knocked before entering, "I need a favor," he said simply.
|
"... What is it?" Yue asked quietly, not looking at him.
|
"I need you to help Kalma watch James," he said, "I don't have the time and we can't afford to have him playing with the wiring again."
|
Yue didn't say anything as she went back to drying her hair.
|
Wolfe took that as a yes and left her alone.
It was about 4 hours later that Frei woke them up. "Laurel's bracelet went offline. We're headed almost at chicago which was the last known coordinates." |
Raven yawned loudly as he woke up.
"Chicago?" Blaze clarified. |
Frei nodded, "Yes, on the boarder of chicago."
|
"... This will get interesting," Blaze replied. "Yue's brother should be in Chicago right now. Hopefully he won't find out she's here."
|
"Or us," Frei added.
Snow yawned, "This will complicate looking for her." |
"Significantly," Blaze noted as she started to braid her hair. "He'll suspect something if I'm spotted in Chicago."
