The rest of the mission went like a breeze (because I have been stuck on this boss fight forever so I'm skipping it) and they easily got patient 0, a young, probably 13 year old Hispanic girl in a pale blue scrub gown, although her face was ghostly pale from the Amulet’s effects and she was muttering to herself in Spanish.
“Hey sweetheart, I'm Gaia, and this is my friend Jack. Let's get you out of here so you can get better.” Gaia cooed to the girl in spanish, the child’s soft brown eyes meeting Gaia’s mauve ones with relief. “What's your name sweetie?” Gaia asked as she took off the pendant quickly as Jack worked on the girl’s restraints.
“Anna” the girl answered simply, still weak from illness. The pair decided to bring the Iv bag with them to help her recover.
Immediately after the pendant was removed she regained color to her face. Meanwhile Jack had spotted and retrieved a wheelchair. With little effort Jack moved Ana into the wheelchair
“How the hell are we getting out of here with a wheelchair?” Gaia commented
“The dingbat who runs this place has a bullet hole near the girl you can use against him. BTW comns have been on this entire mission guys” Nyra interjected. “I marked the door off with a white rock. Exit the door the way you came then turn toward the brown door, I think it's a left.”
“So out the door and take a turn towards a brown door, searching for a white rock.” Jack responded “Thanks Nini!”
The two warriors and their new friend began edging out of the room more cautiously, doing their best to avoid combat using Gaia’s blowdarts to quietly subdue anyone in their way.
“Nyra and Draco will meet you in the tunnel. Camp is mostly broken down so we can disappear once your out. Hopefully this plague will just go away now that you sealed away the amulet.” Apollo added
“We got it! Wait, sealed away?”
“Yes, or else one of you two will become patient 0.”
“oh.”
“Stuff it in here, at least it won't be touching your skin” Jack offered with a small iridescent silk satchel in hand.
“Thanks Jack. Found the rock!”
"Good, grab it please? It has flecs of gold or something and I like it. "
"The rock is yours Nini, where are you two?" Jack answered
I can see the door from here, we have the path clear for you. Draco huffed bordly.
~~~Time Skip~~~
They escaped safely in Apollo's modified grey van to put the girl back home. After finding out Ana didn't want to go home for good reason, the team who rescued her, Team Deity brought her to one place where she could forge herself a new path.
They told her about the amulet (now safe in a stone chest held shut by steel bands and locks) while Apollo drove.
After a day or so of travel they got to the Quiveran safehouse just east of California to drop off the amulet and the new recruite when Apollo got a call from home.
“Good job guys, next stop, San Campion, California. 3 odd natural disasters, over 30 ‘monster sightings’, and at least one set of mysterious disappearances in the last two years alone. Headmaster can't think of anyone else for this mystery.” The team leader stated proudly.
“Monsters! Awesome! Let me grab some of my cryptozoology stuff!” Nyra practically screamed.
“Oww….. You do realize the odds of us finding anything is slim to none right?” Draco growled covering his ears
“Beasties are her last connection to her family remember? You can chill at the beach when we go cryptid hunting.” Bree chided as she patted the team brute's back.
Jack laughed before adding “already mapped out the hotspots for us Nini. Biggest ones seems to be the school, and some blond rich dude’s backyard.”
