 Elina Alman can remember for the longest time that she hated flying in planes—she wasn't sure why, probably pairing with her fear of heights. She can remember memories from her teenage years, when her parents would decide to take her and her brothers on spontaneous fun vacations. Elina can remember the way she'd compare tanlines with her eldest brother, hold her youngest brother closest to her as the plane took off—moreso for her own comfort than his. Now? Elina was gripping the belt around her waist with her head leaned back, staring up at the rattling roof of the aircraft. Sitting there reminiscing about what life used to be made her go even further back—to when life was simple, and then it wasn't. She can remember the way her mother wailed when they got the call from the oil rig company about how her dad had died in the explosion, his body would be unrecoverable, forever lost in the ocean. The thought of that brought upon yet another irrational fear. And it just so happens that both come into play for this mission. Fun!

"What does TDK stand for?" Javelin asks.

"What?"

"Your name—TDK, what does it mean?"

TDK shrugs. "Well, it stands for me. That's what the name is."

"Your name is letters?"

"All names are letters, dickhead." Boomer chimes in.

Elina huffs and crosses her arms, staring at Blackguard, who stared back, a little freaked out. She stifled a laugh as he jumped when Weasel sneezed—or hacked or something. Blackguard stared at it, a little disgusted. "Yo, is this a dog?" Blackguard questions, thumb pointed at the mangled creature.

"What?" Boomerang replies.

"Is—is this thing a dog?" He asks louder.

"A dog?"

"Yes."

Captain Boomerang leans forward. "What-what kind of dog do you think it is, mate?"

"I don't know—I'm not familiar with all the breeds?"

"I'm gonna go with Afghan hound." TDK says.

"What is an Afghan hound—"

"Oh my god, is it a werewolf?" Harley yells. "I've wanted to meet a werewolf forever!"

Elina laughs loudly, nodding. "Looks like one. Do you think he can change to be a human?"

Blackguard jumps up against his seatbelt, trying to unbuckle it. "YOU SAT ME NEXT TO A WEREWOLF? YO, LET ME OUT!" He screams, and they all watch as he squirms in his seat. Harley claps and squeals, both Elina and Boomer laugh—TDK watches as the blond struggles in his seat. Flag steps in, yelling.
