"What was that?" Damian asks as he approaches the rest of the group, meeting in the park. They all sigh of relief after counting all the heads.

"Don't know, Ignite noticed they were following us" Hydro answers scanning the park with his eyes for any unwanted company. A new feeling of paranoia swept over him.

"Octavia obviously knows we are onto her, doesn't want us to get any closer" Damian States folding his arms against his chest. A brooding expression takes over his face.

"Are you thinking or trying to take a shit?" Adapta asks him after a while. He glares and shakes his head.

"Why aren't you scared of me?" He asks Adapta scoffs and shakes her head.

"Oh please, I have worse nightmares, like failing combat class" Adapta retorts shifting her weight onto her other leg.

"That's rude, but yeah that class is really hard" Damian says shrugging his shoulder.

"It's was not, you just had to like fighting" Hydro argue

"So, I'm guessing you and Ignite did pretty well" Damian assumes Hydro just nods, he continues to look around for anyone that stood out. Only one did, a familiar face, Trish stands near a tree a phone up to her ear, she seems to be yelling at someone on the other end. Trish sighs and looks around until her eyes fall on the team. She smiles and says something much calmer into the phone and walks over. Ignite internally groans when her eyes fall on the approach.

"Hydro this doesn't feel right to me" Ignite says telepathically.

" That's just because you don't like her" Hydro says back brushing her concern off, a feeling in her gut screams at her as Trish gets closer.

"we have to stop meeting like this" Trish jokes, something is different about her, almost too different. Ignite sends her glares from where she stands, everything in her body is telling her she should be in front of Hydro, shielding him from anything.

"Yeah I know, this is the only familiar place in this city to us." Hydro admits scratching the back of his neck.

"It's a big city, yet it seems so small when you keep running into the same people" Trish adds she reaches her hand behind her back a smile plastered on her face. This on is fake.

"I think we should go, we find to find our way somewhere" Ignite steps in standing next to Hydro, she tries to reach for his arm but he pulls away. A hole opens bigger in the pit of her stomach at the sigh of Trish.

"I don't think it is too important" Trish says narrowing her eyes at her. Ignite's eyes glow orange, she puts her hand behind her back, a flame enveloping her hand.

"No, it's quite alright she doesn't like me all that much, let me give her a reason" Trish says


BANG!


The sudden sound causes everyone to jump. Their eyes all move to the source of the sound, a gun, in the hands of Trish, smoke falling out of the barrel. The next moment Ignite collapses on the ground her skin turning a shade of blue. A wave of shock is sent through the team, as they gawk at the bullet hole in her stomach. Her breathing is rigid and and her eyes dull out from their color.

"No!" Hydro yells turning to his fallen friend, the rest of the team takes a defensive stance ready to bounce into action. Hydro's eyes glowing an Icy blue, emotions flooding through him.

"I don't want to have to shoot you too, the next bullet is is made especially for you, just like that one was made for her, it is infused with a serum Octavia made to freeze her from the inside out." Trish says aiming the gun at Hydro's head.

"What makes you think that you will walk away from this?" Hydro asks angrily.

"Because, my people are everywhere, you guys won't make it out. Just come with me." Trish answers gesturing with her free hand to the area around them. The group looks to each other, for once they all knew what the other was thinking. Hydro looks down at Ignite watching her chest slowly rise and fall, she doesn't have much longer.

"When you guys get out of here take off her headphones" Hydro says telepathically this is the time he is grateful he has even a little bit of telepathic ability. Hydro turns back around to face Trish he raises his hands in surrender.

"Fine" He says, Trish nods and gestures in the air. Shifters surround them now. The team exchange quick glances. Trish puts zipties around Hydro's wrist and grabs his arm.

"Get them Ziptied and let's go, leave the one on the floor, she doesn't have long" Trish commands.

"Now! Hydro shouts stomping his foot on the ground causing layer of ice to spread out under them. Trish pistol whips him and has two shifters drag him into a portal type thing that has appeared.

Damian runs to Ignite picking her up from the ground. The ice that Hydro slammed down slows the shifters down a little by making the ground slippery.

"Guys cover me, I am going to get her away from here!" Damian yells, Changling and Adapta nod and take a fighting stance, Adapta's body turning into iron. Changling turns herself into a hawk, at least she could peck their eyes. The shifters charge at them, trying their best not to slip on the ice. Adapta now being made out of iron knocks over the shifters with ease. Changling on the other hand was having difficulties. They both think this would be a whole lot easier with the others. Maybe that's why these specific people were chosen, their skills all mixed well, so when one is gone it is different, well they have three. They are most likely going to be screwed.
