Capítulo XXXV- El satélite
Patience kept on her toes arriving at Pike's Crest. She was excited to be on her first mission, but also scared. She hadn't been on an official mission, she was always behind the scenes away from the danger. The times she had been put in danger were when she was caught off guard by Krane, Douglas, or Marcus, mostly Krane.
Exiting Mr. Davenport's black van, Patience rubbed her hands together. Her protectant gloves were in her pocket. The only thing protecting her as of now was the red sleeves. They reached to her knuckles, wrapping around the bottom of her thumb.
A set of warm hands broke her hands apart. She glanced up seeing Chase's face. It was just him, the others were getting their things ready. "It's okay to be nervous," he quietly said.
"No, it's not. If I'm nervous, I'll mess up. I can't mess up trying to save the world or we'll all fall under Krane's control," Patience rapidly spoke. "That can't happen. People have lives to live and-"
"Patience," he let go of her hands and cupped her face. She stopped talking and her heart seemed to slow down at his touch. "You're doing it again."
"Doing what?" she asked.
"Rambling when you get scared."
"Pff, I'm not scared."
Chase dropped his hands and took her hands again. "Yeah, you are. I can tell when you're lying." Anyone can tell but he didn't want to add it. He reassured, "It's okay. I was scared on my first mission too, but I was able to overcome it."
"How?"
"I was with Adam, Bree, and Leo. Even though he almost killed us but he made up for it in the end. Patience, you have incredible abilities not just your bionics. I mean, you were able to knock me unconscious without meaning too," he smiled.
"I still feel bad," she mumbled. "Do you really think so?"
"I know you can and trust me, I know. I am the smartest person in the world," he grinned, but it wasn't a smug grin like usual. "Chin up, buttercup," he tapped Patience's chin.
Her lips twitched up as he lifted her chin. "Thank you, Chase. I needed that."
"All better?"
"Yeah, way better."
"Good, come on," he laced his fingers with hers. "We need to get going."
Mr. Davenport held a weapon close to his chest. She didn't recognize it from the weapons room. He and Douglas must have made new weapons for an event like this. "Okay, are we ready?" he asked, quietly. They didn't need Krane and his army detecting their presence.
Everyone answered giving quick nods. Together, they advanced to the open area. Lights illuminated the quiet area. Patience didn't like the quietness. There should've been some form of talking or movement or even the animals in the area making noise. They scavenged the area as they watched over their steps. In the far corner, Patience detected the massive satellite, however, no one was guarding it.
