"So, this place was invaded by some dimensional monsters and now it's going to be in danger by some Russians? This is the gist of your story? I mean the tragedy,"

Steve nodded his head, without uttering a word.

"Fine, let me here it," she said, as Robin, Steve's co worker gave the recorder to Teddy, who turned it on and kept it closer to her ears as she listened their conversation.

"The first sentence is 'The week is long'," Robin said in her thick Russian accent, making the girl chuckle. Teddy once again rewinded the conversation and listened to it.

"The week is long..."

"Next sentence, please?" Teddy rolled her eyes as Dustin received a glare from the older ones. "Alright, I'm sorry," once again, Teddy keenly listened to the conversation as a smile appeared on her lips.

"The silver cat feeds... when blue meets yellow in the west," Teddy mumbled, and nodded her head in confirmation before taking out the white board marker and writing it down on the board, as the trio stared at the board with wide mouth.

The week is long,
The silver cat feeds,
When blue meets yellow in west.
A trip to China sounds nice if you tread lightly.

Teddy looked at them with a triumphant grin as Robin chuckled.

"She's smart like me," Robin said. "Teddy's my best mate,"

"Your girlfriend is amazing, Steve." Steve's ears went red as he remained silent. Neither of them bothered to correct him and somehow it gave them a little hope.

"So, what are we gonna do next?" Teddy asked, eagerly with a smile.

"Home," Steve said, as her smile faded.

"What?"

"Thanks for translating, Teddy. But, you have to get back home," Teddy scoffed in disbelief as she dragged Steve away from them to have a private conversation.

"Honestly, what's wrong with you? Why are you pushing me away?" Teddy asked, crossing her arms.

"Bec--because this is some serious shit and I don't want you to get involved in this mess," Steve whispered as he towered her small frame.

"Oh, come on---"

"Do you even remember the reason why we broke up, Teddy?" Steve asked, as Teddy went silent, lowering her head. "Your dad didn't want me around you just because I always brought trouble to you," Teddy frowned at his words, as Steve continued . "If he finds out that I've involved his daughter into something bigger this time... he might do something. . . worse,"

He said with his gaze fixed on her. Teddy's eyes were glistening with tears but she didn't wanted to cry. No. Not in front of Steve. She sighed and stared back at his eyes.

"I know what I'm involving myself, Steve. You needn't remind me."

"Did you even listen to a word---"

"I'm not a kid anymore, Steve. I know what's right and what's wrong. I can decide. I'm gonna help you guys and honestly it has been years since I had fun," Teddy said, but Steve was worried. He knew how dangerous this mess was and he knew the consequences. He was scared... of losing.. if only he could say that aloud.
