"Malia and Scott, get back to back." Deucalion ordered, and Athena stood up, watching her two friends.
"In humans, thermoception is done mainly through the skin. You have temperature receptors that pick up the changes in heat and cold. The eyes of werewolves are particularly effective at picking up heat." Deucalion said, and Athena crossed her arms, watching as they looked around blindly.
"Well, what do we do without our eyes?" Scott asked. "Focus on your skin, the minute temperature changes. Now, turn to face each other." Malia and Scott turned to each other.
"Malia, try to hit Scott." Deucalion said, and Malia turned to him, "Seriously?"
"Yes, seriously. You came here to learn to fight. Kick his ass." "Mal, you've done it before." Athena said, and Malia shook her head, "That was different." She whispered, turning back to him.
Athena chuckled when Malia hit Scott, and he groaned. "What do I do now?" He asked.
"Defend yourself."
The two teens began throwing punches and fighting, and Athena bit back a smile as they beat each other's asses.
"Ah, son of a-" Scott groaned. "Sorry." Malia apologized. "Don't be sorry. Hit him again." Deucalion order, and she nodded, throwing a fist.
Malia groaned as she punched a wall. "Yeah, all right. I didn't think it was possible, but I'm actually starting to wish I was blind again." Athena snorted, holding back a laugh as Scott and Malia removed their blindfolds.
"Scott, put the blindfold back on." Deucalion said, and the boy did as told.
Scott began looking around, making Deucalion roll his eyes, "Stop looking for me. Listen, sense the rise and fall of temperature. Feel the pressure beneath your feet. Know, with absolute certainty, my location, my speed, even my method of attack." Deucalion said, pushing Scott back, making him fly into a cement pillar.
Deucalion bent down to eye level with Scott, "And, you're dead. Again."
Scott groaned, standing up and attempting to put the blindfold on. "Okay, all right, come on. Let's go again."
"Scott, I think we should try something else." Malia said, making Scott groan, "Well, there is nothing else. I can't beat Gerard when he's got an entire army behind him."
"They're still afraid of us." Athena said, and Scott looked at the girl whose arms were crossed in front of her chest. "That's the problem. They don't know us, and they don't want us here. They don't even wanna look at us. But I still don't think that that fear is real."
"What if it's not just the Anuk-ite? What if this is what people are really like? I mean, could it be that all this creature really does is give people permission to act on whatever awful truth lies within them?" Deucalion asked, and Athena looked down at her shoes, pulling her lip between her teeth.
