ARIZONA TURNED AROUND in the front seat, looking out the back window to see more Storm Par cars following Javi's. She worried that Tyler would have caught her trick by now, but that didn't stop the wicked grin on her face.

It felt just like old times.

"What'd the Tornado Cowboy have to say?" Javi asked, his eyes not leaving the road. Arizona noticed his grip tighten on the steering wheel, which made her brows furrow in confusion.

"Ah, just some dumb shit. Thought he knew everything bout me when he didn't even know my name," Arizona scoffed, leaning forward to look at the clouds. "Oh, updraft is cycling."

Kate sat in the backseat, though her body was pushed between the two seats to see what the other two were looking at. She narrowed her gaze on the GPS and satellite and pointed up ahead. "Turn right up here."

Javi followed her orders and turned the wheel, going off onto a gravel road. Arizona felt her body shift, her stomach being left behind and stuck somewhere back on the road.

The realization of what she was getting herself into had finally hit, and her heart started thumping as a lump formed in her throat. She watched the windmill's creak, some of them almost breaking off from its stand. The wind made it hard for them to turn properly, which increased her worry.

"It's forming, just like you called it," Javi said with a smile, pulling Arizona out of her thoughts.

She sent him a weak smile, her eyes falling on the sky and the funnel churning only a little ways off in front of her.

Even if she knew a part of her missed this action, Arizona couldn't help remembering how everything ended five years ago. She still had nightmares about her friends dying and didn't want to have to go through that again.

"Scarecrow, Tin Man" Javi said, tapping his earpiece and talking to the rest of his crew, "get in position. Wizard, stick with me."

At that moment, the four cars split up, two—the one Arizona was in and another—going one way (towards the storm), and the other two going a different way.

"What's the plan?" Kate asked, looking over to Javi for an answer.

Arizona followed her gaze, her eyes glossing over with tears she wouldn't let fall. She blinked multiple times, forcing them to leave so she could make sure nothing like her past would happen again.

"We're doing a 3-D scan of the entire area around the vortex, which means we're gonna surround it with 3-D radars, each one pointed at the tornado. Tin Man will get behind the tornado and place his radar on the right hand side. Scarecrow is gonna get behind the tornado and plant his on the left. All the data that they send will be received by Wizard," Javi explained.

"How bout Lion?" Arizona asked quietly. She had a feeling she knew she answer.

She glanced down at the monitor that showed the three positions of each radar.

"Gotta come through the front. We get right in front of that thing and set up our radar." Javi glanced at Arizona, noticing her fears grow. "Hey, we're a team. Y'all just gotta tell us where the front of the tornado is."
