~3rd Person POV~

"I don't know what you said to Amaya, but every time she sees me I see something in her eyes," Ray tells Jessica. "I can't explain it."

"I'm sorry," is what Jessica wants to say to Ray, but it only comes out as another Utahraptor call.

"Don't worry about it," he strokes the top of her head. "I don't need her approval to be a hero."

I know you don't.

"I'm going to be flying," Ray explains. "So you'll be a part of the ground team. I need you to listen to everything they tell you to do, otherwise this whole situation could go south."

Jessica grunts in response and Ray knows that it's her way of telling him she would do it. Together, they make their way to the cargo bay where everyone else is waiting for the Waverider to land.

"Ray—," Rex is cut of by the man he's talking to.

"Eyes in the sky for the Baron, got it!" Ray smiles.

"Mr. Rory, you stop the caravan," Rex continues.

"With my heat gun," he stares intently at his weapon giving the JSA chills.

"Everyone else, your main objective is to collect the artifact. Ready?" Rex finishes.

"Let's do this," Jessica says to herself, knowing the rest of them only hear some sort of shrill. As soon as the cargo bay door begins to open, Jessica launches herself up and grabs onto the top of the slab of metal. Once the space between the ship and the door is wide enough for Jessica to fit through, she squeezes out and sprints to the road where the convoy is headed.

It takes about another minute for the joint teams to arrive and get in position. Jessica has to admit, once everyone is lined up, they look pretty badass. She can hear the rattle of the vehicles coming down the road so she squawks as an announcement and stares forward.

As soon as the Nazis are in range, Mick blows up their first small vehicles to stop the entire entourage. The Nazis quickly file out of their cars and Jessica takes the liberty of taking on as many men as she can.

Jessica swipes her tail under Nazi legs and chomps down on the hands of those she can reach. She uses their arms to swing them into each other to back them away from herself.

"I've got eyes on the Baron," Ray announces. Jessica can over hear the voices in the comms around her, considering the amount of them that are present at the moment.
