Wolves - Selina Gomez ( feat. Marshmello)

~3rd Person POV~

"Ashley!" Ray sighs happily as she circles around him to study his situation. She traces the chain with her eyes up to the ceiling where she spots an old rusty section of linked metal. Ashley keeps her eyes on the spot she intends to snap while she crouches as low to the ground as she can get.

"Ashley, what are you doing?" He asks nervously as he watches her. She suddenly springs up as high as she can and snaps her jaws shut around the old metal, causing it to shatter in her mouth. Once she hits the ground, she begins to spit as an attempt to get the disgusting metal out of her mouth.

"Thanks, girl," he scratches the side of her neck. "Now we have to get my suit," Jessica chirps happily before leading the way toward the suit, tracking it by it's unusual and yet familiar scent. After several twists and turns, there's the unmistakable sound of metal on metal, obviously caused by fighting of some sort.

Jessica picks up her pace as Ray fumbles with the chains around his wrists. As they round one last corner, they're met by Sara, Mick, and Amaya.

"Hey, guys!" Ray smiles as the chains clatter onto the floor.

"Wrong way, Haircut," Mick spins Ray around.

"What about my suit?" Suddenly the shogun barges into the hallway and charges the blasters. "We can get it later," they all quickly escape the shogun and his new toy.

"Where do we go now?" Ray asks. Jessica suddenly jumps up and down and shrills to get the teams attention. Once she has it, she turns and leads the way back toward Masako's home.

"That was no animal," Masako tells Nathan as he sits in the bed marveling at the fact his hemophilia had been cured.

"You can't tell anyone," Nate tells her. "She doesn't want anyone to know."

"Why not?"

"I don't know," Nate shrugs and looks over at Masako. "She can't really tell me. She doesn't know how to talk all that much."

There's a sudden crash from the doorway as Jessica slides across the floor and falls on her side. Ray comes running up behind her panting as if he had run a marathon.

"I told you to slow down!" He complains. Jessica pushes back onto her feet slowly; the fall had reintroduced the pain from her broken ribs.

"Bad timing?" Sara asks as she peeks in through the door.

"Nope," Nathan pushes off the bed and up onto his feet. "Nope. Masako, these are, uh, my friends I was telling you about."

"Hajimemashite. Can I get you something to drink?" She politely asks.
