The hallway they walked into had photos and weapons hanging on the walls. Family photos, paintings of gore, and death. Weapons that could never be used. Paintings of the dead.

The walls were red and the photos seemed to draw you in. The long hallway made it seem like you walked forever, and Athena got a sense that this was supposed to intimate them.

Athena thought it reminded her of one of those kid movies that Daniel forced her to watch.

The one with the yellow men.

"Right this way," Castiel kept walking down the straight hallway.

Timothy and Samuel were whispering about something, sometimes adding ASL into their conversation. A habit they picked up from spending years using it to converse.

'...trap....weapons gone...worry...."

Athena tried to focus on their hands and ended up walking into the back of one of the security guards walking with them.

She glanced up at him, leaving her eyes blank.

The guard glared at her. He looked like he was expecting an apology. Athena wanted to laugh in his face, but she only walked around him. Going back to the group.

"Right through these doors," Castiel told them as guards opened the doors.

Two guards on each door. Ten guards counted so far.

"Castiel." A new voice greeted them when they entered. A deeper voice, older, with more authority.

"The team has arrived." Castiel almost bows in the direction of the voice.

Authority is probably the leader. Athena thought before she walked through the door.

There were three men seated around a long table. They all had suits fitted to their bodies. Athena could note the muscles in each of them.

The far left man wore a black suit with a dark blue dress shirt. His black hair was sliding back, his hand messing with the skin over his lips. His gray eyes tracked the team's every move. Noting each and everyone one of them, predicting if they were a threat or not. His eyes seemed to stay fixated on Ford the longest.

The man in the middle wore a gray suit and purple undershirt. Athena noted the tattoos that cover his neck and hands, any skin visible beside his face. Though he did have a sword tattoo on his left ear. He looked older than the three. Held himself differently, more announced, bolder than the other did. Like he knew nothing would happen to him.

Finally, her eyes landed on the last man, whose eyes were on her as well. He had the same black hair. Even from the distance between them, Athena could see that he didn't have the gray eyes his family had. No, his eyes were like a forest, deep and rich green. Eyes that made you lose yourself looking at them.

Athena blinked and forced herself to get to the task at hand.

The Third man wore a black suit with a black dress shirt that clung to his body His suit jacket was left open as he lazily leaned into the back of his chair. Her eyes tried to look for details that could be his weakness, but her eyes kept going back to his eyes. When their gaze locked, she realized he was deciphering her as well.

She glanced away before she was stuck in his eyes.

Ford glanced at her weirdly, 'what was that?'

She only shook her head and stared at Samuel's head.

"Samuel Andrew's," Sammy announced to the seated men.
