" So what now?"

She looks at me with my black T-shirt and blue shorts on.

" I'm not sure, maybe we should leave soon."

" So....is that guy really your brother?"

" Red death? No. His symbiote is related to mine."

" Oh, I thought you were like him..."

" Does he....scare you?"

I feel her tremble a bit at my question. She looks away for a bit and I grab her hand.

" It's okay, he's mostly just talk, you could take him."

" Do you really think so?"

" Yeah, mostly because he's weaker then me."

I feel no presence around us and unwrap the cocoon. She drops toward the ground and I catch her hand. I let her down and wrap my symbiote back around me.

" Security is probably tighter now so be careful."

" What do we do now?"

" I'm going to find Rockwell, you can leave if you want, it might get ugly."

" What will that do? Like you said he has too much power he won't be affected one bit by fighting him now."

" I have an idea, it's risky but could work, depends on how he reacts though."

" But what if he...."

" He can try, but I've seen him fight, he won't stand a chance."

We walk around to the elevator and chanté climbs on my back.

Gotta avoid using elevators with all the security around now.

We reach the second level and I see Rockwell looking around his office.

" I bet he notices something missing."

" If you face him I'm doing it with you."

She can't be serious....

" I know I'm not as strong but I'm not letting you do this alone."

" Fine, but if you get hurt you take off and stay away from him."

" But then you'll be on your own and he'll...."

" Right now....after seeing that video..I'm not sure he can..."

I walk by the wall and crawl up it with chanté on my back.

" You keep a distance from us until I say so."

I climb over the ledge of the office and let chanté off my back.
Rockwell shuffles through his drawer looking for something as I walk closer to him.

" What are you looking for Rockwell?"

He jerks back at me, but his eyes look weird. Almost like they're silver.

" You! You stole that orb! The one with the video!"

" Yeah, nice strength by the way, it's kinda impressive."

" Hehe, I'll take that as a compliment, and who's your friend there? She's awfully familiar."

Chanté backs away from him and steps behind me. Rockwell chuckles to himself and looks at us with that sadistic smirk.
