"They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angels weep
But if I die here tonight
I die in my sleep"

"There." Matt suddenly spoke out, which caused Rhea to glance over at him, "It just hit. It's gotta be... forty stories, at least."
"Forty stories down?" Rhea shook her entire body, "My fucking God..."
A whistling noise in the air came from behind them. Elektra yelled out and grabbed the pair. She forced them to duck down as a shuriken flew through the air.
Rhea gasped and grabbed the shuriken from the wall, "I hate ninjas."
"They're on all sides." Elektra explained to Matt since he was unable to see like her and Rhea could, "Half a dozen, at least."
Matt pressed his back to Rhea's which made her turn to him in surprise, "I got a problem."
Rhea released a nervous laugh as she tried to track the ninjas in the room with her eyes. It was so incredibly dark that she was having a problem, "I think we've got the same problem."
"No, you don't get it. I can't read these guys." Matt admitted to her as he stuck close to her. They had moved behind a pillar to avoid anymore weapons, "There's no sound, there's no heartbeat, there's nothing."
Elektra breathed out as she neared them, "They're trained to hide themselves."
Rhea furrowed her brows and shot her a look, "How do you know?"
"Just-" Elektra caught the suspicious glare from Rhea, "Matthew, don't focus on the fighters, track their weapons. They have swords."
Matt tilted his head and took her advice, "They have swords, I can hear."
Rhea shut her eyes and took her staff out from her utility belt from around her waist. She hopped out and kept close to Matt since she knew he was unable to read the ninjas. Whenever a weapon would aim down for Matt, Rhea would instantly use her own to block it the best way possible. They stuck to one another as the ninjas surrounded them. While Rhea handled the weapons, Matt would be the one dealing blows.
In the midst of the fighting, Rhea was split from Matt. She almost fell back into the hole, but used her abilities to catch her. She had never once used her voice to lift her like this. The entire building did shake from what she had done. Matt had been the one to reach for her so she would no longer be so close to the edge.
Rhea threw her staff to Matt as another ninja came after him. She ducked below a sword and turned to go after Matt. She stopped as three came running toward her. Rhea inhaled deeply and screamed.
"Rhea!"
Rhea turned around, fully expecting a sword to go directly through her stomach, only for Elektra to have jumped in and pushed her out of the way. The blade that was meant to harm Rhea instead, cut deep into Elektra. Rhea gasped from the shock and quickly caught her before Elektra dropped to the ground. She pressed her palms against her waist as blood poured out. She cursed under her breath.
