NIGHTTIME/AGENCY
______________________

I was laying down on my bed with zuri,thinking about what jemma said..two daggers,I thought there was only,I mean,theres only one of everyone there,like scorpion and arachnid apparently,why would they have two daggers
"Mmm..serena are you still thinking about what jemma said..?"
I look over at zuri who turned looking at me
"Sorta..all we know is that the other dagger is the person that killed james"
I replied quietly looking up
"Stress isn't good for you darling...you know this"
"I know but with everything thats happened,it could get worse from here"
I replied,I felt zuri pull me closer as I felt her head on my neck
"Don't be so negative"
She said as I felt her kiss my neck,I grew flustered and moved away
"Zuri...we shouldn't"
I replied chuckling a little as I felt my face get red
"I'm not suggesting anything inappropriate, just some making out?"
She replied
"Sure..."
"I mean it...I was raised as a gentlewoman"
I laugh at the comment
"Alright...we can do that"





ATHENA'S POV
________________

I look at my phone and going through the numbers
"Whats wrong athena...are you nervous about this?"
Linette asked as she sat on my bed
"No,not at all,just me and my brother haven't talked in ages and he might be angry"
I replied
"So nervous?"
"Yeah,and the fact I'm asking about moira stuff"
I added
"It'll be fine...isn't he probably asleep at this time"
"Hes usually a night owl.."
I press the dial on my phone as it starts to ring,I felt nervous,I remember oliver mentioning that amy learned a bit about omni but they never really discussed it,amy is usually asleep sorta but my brother is a night owl so he maybe knows something,I eard a click come on the phone
"Hello?"
I went quiet,I took a deep breath,just stay calm athena
"Hey russell...it's athena?"
I replied,still nervous,this whole thing could go either way
"Look I know you might not wanna talk to me but I need your help"
I continued,I heard a sigh on the phone
"What is it..?"
He asked,well..so far so good,he sounds tired though..maybe he was sleeping
"Were you sleeping?"
"...yes"
Huh,interesting
"I'll try and make this quick,what did you learn about omni when you and amy investigated meteor system"
I asked
"Well there was a break in,tried to steal robots,specifically a robot by the name aphrodyte"
"Wait whats so special about that robot"
"It was a nano bot situation and after karen knight passed,they had a new ceo,celine clifton just didn't want her activated again despite the memory wipe but duncan,micah and karina tried to steal aphrodyte but got caught but if you mean omni,they were created by alisha page,which from what celine said she was here in pacific bay but hasn't been seen since"
So alisha might still be alive..Wait he said karina,did they find out?
"Alright quick change,you said karina…does that mean you found out"
I asked
"Yes,wait how did you know that?"
I went quiet
"Well...we met alaric and,he mentioned a solace"
"Thats karina...did you know the entire time?"
He asked
"Sorta but Serena tried calling Amy so she knew but nobody answered...why did something happen?"
I asked
"Well..karina is dead"
Wait karina is actually dead,from what I heard she was another dangerous one like dagger
"I thought she was dangerous"
"Well I didn't mean to do it"
"Wait what"
I stopped his sentence after he said that,did he kill karina
"Nothing"
"Russell,did you kill karina?"
"I don't wanna get into it"
He replied,I decided not to push it,I already did enough of that
"Alright well..thanks for your help..I-"
"Reaper was here"
I went quiet
"Im sorry....reaper as in the same reaper in the theater and had a deer skull as a mask"
I asked just to be sure
"Who else would I mean"
"Are you and amy ok?"
I asked,a little concerned
"Yeah but...amy was stabbed,luckily it wasn't too bad too start with"
"I'm sorry amy was WHAT?!"
I exclaimed
"look,I don't wanna explain it to you,you should be sleeping,probably"
He replied
"Well I just got back to the agency from a date"
"Wait what-"
"Yeah I'm not really gonna explain it right now,just go to sleep good-"
"Wait a minute"
I paused for a moment
"What is it?"
"Can you do something for me?"
He asked,I went quiet,I'm not sure what he wants,I stayed quiet until I hear him take a deep breath
"Can you at least promise me something"
I stayed quiet
"Athena?"
I hear linette whisper
"Just keep an eye on miranda,from everything I heard from hannah I have a bad feeling about her and just make sure amy is alright...I'm worried about her"
He continued,he can't be asking me to make a promise,I even hate making them,hell I can't even keep them..but I can't tell him that
"Sure..now get to bed"
"Right...good night"
I heard a click on the phone,ending the call,I put the phone away and sigh
"You ok?"
Linette asked
"yeah..he just asked me to make a promise,bad move on his part,I can't keep or make them"
"Now I'm sure thats not true thena"
"Last time I made a promise I didn't come back for my own brother-"
"KNOCK!"
"KNOCK!"
I heard a knock on my door,I get up and opened my door and saw jack and miranda
"Miranda,jack?,its late at night whats going on-"
"I need you,jack,and serena down to the prison"
