"Hey Lorna," I spoke, "have you seen Andy?"

Lorna was rocking Dawn, her newborn daughter, back and forward, with a pacifier in her mouth.

"Sorry, haven't seen him lately."

I only nodded my head to leave, but the woman stopped me in a track.

"Are you doing okay?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty good."

The green-haired woman rolls her eyes. "You sure? Because you don't seem fine."

I wasn't.
The more I thought about Andy and Reeva, the more I was freaking out about it; the cycle was on a loop.

Walking back into the room and closing the door behind me, I explain, "I-I think Reeva is doubting Andy."

Lorna snapped her head to me, before setting her daughter down in her crib. "What are you talking about?"

"I mean, after my training yesterday, she just started questioning me about Andy, about his distraction. I don't know what else is there but Andy is walking on thin ice right now."

Before Lorna could say anything to me, Esme walked into the room.

"Lux, Reeva wants you and Andy for training, right now."

I gulped but reluctantly walked out of the room to go to training, which would end in, what I could feel, terrible.

Both the Strucker boy and I were standing in the middle of the room, looking up at the glass balcony room, to see only Reeva and Sage.

"Lux, Andrew, your task is to protect each other from the oncoming holographs. As time proceeds, the more difficult it will become," Reeva explained briefly.

Andy and I look at each other with a confident smirk, knowing that this training would be a piece of cake.

When the countdown ended, the holograms came to suit, starting the training course.

Left and right Andy and I blasted the technology at ease, with him covering my left and me with his right.

Of course, it would increase the difficulty but nothing that we couldn't manage.
