((( dedicated to jmcabc for giving me the idea to continue the story.)))
Jax wiped his face. Beatrice was with Nova, she was safe.
Jax watched the soldiers warm up. She would be afraid about Christian when she woke up.
Christian had told them that TDG (The Dark Giant) had said that he was the one to decide who won the battle by choosing which side to root for. Jax guessed that's what the soldiers were training for. Probably to destroy Stagg, and Chrystler, or destroy each other. Jax wasn't familiar on the topic.
"Sorry I'm late." A lady in armor walked in and stopped when she saw Jax. "Who are you?"
"Jax."
"Where did you come from?"
"Uh TDG captured me."
She squinted at him. "Why aren't you training?"
"I'm no slave."
"Your in chains Jax."
"And who might you be?"
"Marina Clark." (happy?)
"Good to know."
"I'm the head of TDA. If you like to abbreviate things."
Jax guessed that meant The Dark Army. "I'm pretty sure you're job will be replaced. I heard TDG wants Nova to lead his army."
She froze. "Nova? Is she here?"
"Unconscious."
"Dad did that a lot to us."
"Dad? Us?"
"Nothing."
"Marina."
"Calico? Get them into positions for the second drill."
Jax got up. What was she hiding? "Marina tell me."
"Make that third." She ignored him again, as the army switched itself into order.
Jax decided that was it he pinned her against the wall. "What did you say?"
She sighed "just tell me when she's awake. I have to talk with my sister."
