Raymond was asleep and there was this blanket. Echo took it off and found Mort and Lance conversing about a basketball game."Hey, we're discussing here."She dumped it and stomped over them. "Sorry, you're just all over the place, seriously."They groaned trying to get comfortable."What's her problem?" Lance asked him.Zack shoved his hands into his pockets. "Maybe some other time." The plans could wait. Gwen who just went for a swim approached.He cleared his throat going towards her. "Hey hey beautiful." He backed her to a corner. She cleared her throat. "I wasn't expecting you." He wondered if this was a dream. It couldn't be. "Listen, I have something important to ask you.""What is it?" She reached up."Is it convenient if we start training tomorrow?"She opened her eyes in surprise. "Why not?""Great. Looking forward to it." He said with a lazy smile. She scoffed when he walked away."It's cold outside." She said getting a blanket."Aww, Gwen you're so sweet." He said t

They waited in the room. "What if they come in through the ceiling?""That's ridiculous." He said. "We're safe as it is. No one is coming.""How long do we have?""Six hours."Gwen was sad. What if they were left to starve so much that they had no strength left to fight? The Lectyrs could be waiting for them to give in. She was on the brink of giving up, this was the best she could do, cause a delay.Lance was in a bad shape. She didn't know what to do except sooth his hair, the toxin was spreading.Raymond needed to be there for him but someone had to watch Stane. His heart rate peaked, he was trembling but keeping his breath stable, his stomach was in knots. It was pointless and hopeless. Gwen was there, he didn't need to take initiative."Can we switch places?" Gwen asked.He snorted. "You clearly aren't strong enough to handle a full-grown Lectyr." She winced, it stung but he was correct but she saw that he was torn. Stane rasped in his chokehold and Gwen tramped over to slug

Zack pulled back from the others, he just froze on the spot, it happened that it was a lot worse than he imagined, Ayron double-crossed him and it was all Raymond's fault. Had he just let it go then none of this would have happened.He frowned at Raymond and shut his eyes. He tried all he could yet everything blew up in his face. Gwen woke up and she brushed her eyes getting up. She shuddered feverishly and the thought of addressing anyone irked her."Are you hungry?" The medic Jona said."No."Jona noticed that she was anxious around him."Don't worry, you can take things at your pace."Gwen exhaled. "I think I'll stay put for a while."Echo held her hands together and she went to see Lance in a somnolent state."Lance." She woke him up and he stirred."Hey." Lance said to her. Echo morphed into him. "I'm sorry about not listening to you. I lied about my recruitment. I actually failed.""Echo, I knew all along.""You did?""Yeah, I was just waiting for how long it was going to take

"Ah." He faced the game beaming. "Has the right amount of milk.""Can I play with you?""No, I'm already too far into the game. Single player mode."She got up leaving....Zack checked on the scale and he gained the 7 pounds again despite all the food and the training. He put on his headphones. "Hey guys, I'm heading out.""Yeah, good for you. Don't miss us too much." Zack hopped on the stairs, leaping over 2 steps to get his blood pumping. He thought about Raymond frowning. He wheezed and kept pushing. He missed a step falling off. A guy caught his hand. "Be careful.""Thanks." Zack spotted the man with thick black hair and a notch on his eyebrow."Name's Dylan Hoover." "Zack Trevor." He said shaking his hand."Thanks, I'm such a klutz.""No worries. The stair's an inch too tall anyway." Dylan smiled. "So, what's your goal?""I'm trying to gain some weight. Build muscle." He said.Dylan adjusted a band around his bicep."You look good man. What's your secret?" Zack asked."Oh, y

"Poor dear, your house mates must be suffocating you. I completely understand." The old lady said fidgeting with her books."I have a present for you, my dear. I know you like these." She brought a box full of figurines and he pulled them shutting the box. He gasped.A few passersby giggled. "He is so hot."Raymond shrunk into his seat. "You don't like it?""Thanks for the gift. I can't believe that you actually remembered my birthday.""What's not to remember? I make it my priority to...now that Gladys is getting a little too old in the noggin. Nothing I can do about that except take notes.""You're one of a kind.""If you don't feel comfortable, I have a more reserved place for you.""You're the best." He said. He thought of Gladys Watterson like his real mother, the one he never had since that heatsroke that took his mother's life except for his. He walked to an enclosed space. He flipped through a book covering his eyes and he raised them to find a lady ogling at him from the sh
