"How are we going to get over now?" The eldest man asked.

"Maybe, If she would walk faster we woulden't be in this mess." Complained the other man.

"Didn't she just save you?"

"Yea,  and?"

"She saved your life man. She saved all of our lives and you're out here complaining about an injury she got whilst saving us? She risked her life for us."

"It's not like she has much to lose." The man spat out.

The man he was arguing with pushed him back slightly whilist the other three people shouted at the man.

"Did you just push me?"

"Pay her some respect!"

"She saved us."

"We would've died if it wasen't for her."

A few floors under the 12th was Eddie and Buck who escaped through an elevator shaft. "Anything?" Buck asked Eddie, watching him trying to get in contact with Phoenix again after she called for them.

"Nothing."

"Okay... Don't panic... she-she-"

"She's probably too occupied getting everyone out safely after that aftershock and talking through the radio is probably slowing her down." Ali told the two panicking boys.

"Right." Nodded Eddie.

"That would explain it." Buck said, as he tried to convince Eddie and Himself about the situation.

"Yeah.... Yeah."

 Back on the 12th floor, everyone was arguing whilist Phoenix was trying to figure out a plan. 

"Will you all shut up so I can think!" And just like that, they all quietened down. She walked towards the hole in the ground and saw that it went through many of the floors below. She turned around to face them and some of them blinked as the light from her touches shone in their eyes. The shoulder one was the worst as the one on her helmet was smashed, only small flickers of light escaping it. "One by one I will lower you down as far as I can, and when you get down there you will wait for me, do I make myself clear?" They all nodded. "Right, Amanda you first, love."

Phoenix attached the rope back onto her harness, which she took off and gave it to Amanda. "You going to wear this harness so I can lower you safely and when you at the bottom of wherever, you will take it off, leaving it still clipped to the rope, and harshly tug it five times so I can pull it up for the next person." Phoenix instructed. She then attached another part under a heavy stone before attaching one to her belt loops. And one by one she lowered them as far as she could. Hands burning from the sweat and grip she had on the rope as she pulled it back up and down with different weights. And Phoenix was the last one to lower herself down, she left the ropes dangling as she unclipped the harness attached to it, allowing it to swing slightly on the ropes she was abandoning.

"Phoenix isn't here?" Eddie questioned when him and Buck reunited with the team (except Fiemma) in the carpark.

"No." Chimney replied, looking at Bobby out from the corner of his eye. "Have you heard from her recently?"

"She tried to radio us before the last aftershock." Eddie started to explain, before he felt his chest tighten at the fact that they don't actually know if Phoenix was okay.

"We haven't heard from her sience." Buck quickly told them.


"She's Phoenix." Bobby said. "A fighter. She's invincible remember? She'll be okay." Even though Bobby said this to reassure the people around him, it was also to reassure himself. He saw the young girl as a daughter figure and so did Athena. If she found out he got her killed –
