Ryan's P.O.V

Bryce, after completely stitching myself and himself back, is resting his head upon my shoulder.

I don't blame him. We went through a lot. A storm. Me getting stabbed. Then me being taken.

Goddamn is this a trip to remember.

My eyes grow wide with realization.

I get to know why Bryce went along with me!

I get to know Brycey's real intention.

"Hey Ohm?" I hear Luke call out.

I face him, "Yeah? What is it?"

"I'm gonna stop for a moment. I'm gonna get something at this 7-Eleven we're at. You want anything?"

"Doritos and a few cans of Coke I guess." I say with a slight shrug.

I suddenly feel my phone buzz. It's not that damaged, surprisingly. (A/N: its not a nokia. I swear. XDD)

I answer the call.

"Hello?" I say.

"Hey Ohm. I heard what happened." I hear Evan say.

"I'm guessing Luke told you." I say.

"Yeah... anyways. Hope you all get here back quick. Cause I got a shit ton o' explaining to do. Bye" he says.

"What do y-" I get cut off because he hung up. "Well okay then." I mutter.

I hear Bryce groan. He sits up properly.

"Hey Brycey." I say. He looks at me and smiles.

"Hey Ohmie..." he looks around for a moment. "Where are we?"

"At some 7-Eleven. Luke went to buy some stuff." I inform him. "I asked for him to buy doritos and Coke. You okay with that?"

"I can manage." he says, proceeding to laying down, resting his head on my thigh. "Hey Ohmie?"

"Yeah Bryce?" I ask.

Suddenly Luke enters. With 2 plastic bags filled with Doritos, coke and a bunch of other stuff.

"Here ya are Ohm." Luke says, handing over a plastic bag with a few packs of doritos and at least 4 cans of coke.

"Thank-a-you Luke." I say with a chuckle. "Now Bryce, what were you gonna ask?"

"What do you do?" he asks.

"Well. I guess it's okay to tell you." I tell him. "I work with my crew to find these things called hybrids. But the hybrids our crew searches for are human-animal hybrids."

"And what do you have so far?" Bryce asks.

"Well. We've found one. It's a she. She's part eagle. The only thing that's obviously different is that instead of arms, she has wings." I explain.

"How is she taken care of?" Bryce asks.

"Oh. Very well. She has her own room. And whenever she wants to go out. We take her to the greenhouse where there's lots of room for her to fly around and practice." I tell him.

"That's nice." Bryce says.

"Yeah. I feel bad for her though." I say sadly.

"Why?" Bryce asks.

"She has no family. She doesn't remember anything about her past too. She was running away when we found her." I explain.

"Hey guys? Sorry to interupt but I got something important to say." Luke suddenly says.

"What?" Bryce and I ask at the same time.

"We're here." he says.

I suddenly have the biggest smile plastered on my face.

"Only 10 minutes before we get there actually. But we're technically there." Luke says.

———

Luke pulls up by a tall-ish building. With a smaller building beside it.

I take out my phone, texting Evan that we're here. Then shove it back in my pocket.

This is all just a bit far off town.

The smaller building bearing a glass dome over it.

I get out of the car, with my satchel and bag. So does Bryce. And Luke.

"Here we are. Back home." I say. I whip my head around and face them. "Well for me at least. A new home for you guys." I smile.

"This is great." Luke says.

"It surely is." Bryce says, agreeing.

The doors swing open. A tall-ish tan man wearing a red jacket with jet-black hair steps out.

"Well it's great to see you guys safe an-"

I fake cough at this. Then smirk.

"Fine. It's great to see you guys alive and here. Ohm?" Evan says facing me.

"Yeah? The journal?" I ask. He nods. I shuffle through my satchel, take out the journal and hand it over to him.

He then faces Luke. "You're Luke right? It'll be great working with you." Evan says holding out his hand towards Luke.

Luke takes Evan's hand and shakes it. "It'll be great indeed."

Another man steps out of the building... it's Delirious!

"Delirious! Hey man!" I yell walking up the man.

"Ohmie! Great to see you back and still alive!" he yells pulling me into a hug.

I pull away. "Careful. Wounds." I say, wincing.

"Oh right. Sorry." he says.

"Delirious!" I hear Bryce yell.

Wait what?

"Bryce!" Delirious yells grabbing Bryce and pulling him into a bear hug.

"Wait what?" I say, confused.

I hear Evan chuckle and face him. "I guess I got some explaining to do." he says to me.

"Yeah you fucking do." I say with a laugh.

"Why don't we all go inside and meet up with the rest and chill for a moment before we talk about the entire trip." Evan says.

"Agreed." Luke says.

"Yeah. I guess you're right." Delirious says.

Evan enters first, followed by Delirious and Bryce, Luke... then finally me.

Once we reach the living room... a really loud "Surprise!" is yelled.

A banner saying, "Welcome back and welcome to the new guys!!!"

I chuckle. The entire crew is here.

Finally home.

This is great.
