I follow because it’s easier than people at Princes died because of flashing light and my eyes changing to a weirdo cyborg color. Everyone moves around the island to the table and couch.
I spot MB and Harky against the wall by the door.“Thanks for sending the dogs. Did they get back okay?”
MB smiles. “Yeah. You’re a hell of a shot, Brother. If you get tired of training, we have a position in Elite for you.”
Dyani laughs as my head shakes.
“No thanks.” I take the cup from my girl and feel pride as she kisses my head.She’s always close and steps in when crazy is happening. Teller said she’s my Protector. I didn’t ask a single question after that. I like it but never heard of such a thing.
“I’m going to work. Protectors worked to clear the gazebo last night. The trainees were asking about classes today. Rocko said they’re ready. Pres said they’re finishing the schedule.”
I smile. “I’ll be…”
“You’re off. Axe took your class.” Cort has me nodding. He’s like Hemy, if he says no, I agree.
“I’ll stay here and wish I was there.”
She kisses my lips. “With them all here, nothing is coming close to you. Relax and have fun.”
They all laugh.
Once she’s gone, Cort sits by Justice. “What happened?”
“I don’t know, Boss. The dark was too close to White Wave, I saw Jane and her and threw everything to stop the dark from touching them.”
“The aura thing?” I turn surprised Putam is here.
“No, or maybe. The trucks had dark. I felt it and when the door opened, I saw it. I know dark but never felt it like that. When I saw the women, I pushed. I don’t remember much else. It’s not much of an explanation but it’s all I have.” I’m relieved when Cort nods.
“How did you shoot like that?” Ranger asks.
“Like what?”
“Brother, we have your cams. Every suit has cams. Akai got your whole Club online for us.”
I look at Ranger. “And?”
He shakes his head while the Brothers laugh. “He’s jealous, you shot like him but better.”
My head turns from Falcon to Justice. “Why are they here?”
His energy flows to me. “Relax. The light stopped everyone at once. Were you protecting the BSC?”
I love when he’s close, it calms me. “I want to say the women but the east was in a war, it sounded like the west was fighting it and some pussy had a grenade launcher aimed at me. Cuyler was shooting her bow without shielding. It was too big for me to shield buildings and land from so far. Our people did nothing to warrant a war.”
Justice nods understanding my frustration. “So, you threw energy to cover our people.”
I shake my head. So much happened so fast I see it and just tell him. “I don’t know. The dogs were trying to protect Cuyler, the Bits were shooting from the windows and Naaki was covering them. A dick aimed his gun at Pres. I needed to cover White Wave…”
His hand on my arm stops me. “Focus, Brother. Don’t relive it, focus on the intention.”
Intention. The feeling. I give him the gist. “I had to cover us so no more of our people died.”
He nods. “You did it. Before the light, you covered with your gun and rolling fire. With the light, you stopped the dark.”
“I had to. White Wave, Jane, the kids, Presidents it has to stop.”
His hand moves and I’m surprised again by everyone here. It felt like we were alone. “I don’t understand what happened but what I wanted to happen did. Our people were shielded. No more casualties.”
