The others were getting acquainted and discussing the situation at hand. Toma simply watched, waited, and listened. He wanted to be certain of who he’d be working with in this insane endeavor. No one seemed more wild or unpredictable than Seiji—so there was that, at least.

Everyone else here seemed younger than he was; still middle or high schoolers, if he had to guess. The more he thought about it, the more he saw advantages in their youth. The forces they were up against would never expect what they had to offer. With a foot in both worlds—youth and adulthood—Toma decided it was actually optimal that the group was primarily made up of high school kids.

“You can call me Daimon, by the way,” he finally offered, when the moment felt right. “I’m looking forward to…” He hesitated, searching for the right phrase. “To creating some chaos with you all.”

His mouth smirked slightly beneath the blindfold.

“I got the rest,” Anastasiya said without looking. “You pay for the shots.”

She immediately threw back one of the shots. Aksel felt what had been a swelling anticipation suddenly become a sort of familiar relief.
He couldn’t wait for her to take her shots—though he had no idea why he cared so much—followed by the satisfaction of her finally ingesting it.

She went down the line, chasing one shot with the next. It was impressive—unexpected, to say the least.

And kinda hot.

When she got to the whiskey, she simply slid it toward him. He looked down at the offering, slightly surprised, though more at ease after watching her down the vodka. Still, he was glad for the gift. It wasn’t why he’d done what he had for her, and part of him felt like paying for the shots and the whiskey. He thought better of it, knowing how he’d feel if someone denied him the giving of a gift; and right now she seemed—she felt—much more at peace than she had since he’d scooped her up after the freak storm.

Beside him, Anastasiya took in a breath and straightened herself.

“Damn,” she hummed thoughtfully. “Everyone came here, it seems.” She took a sip of her final beverage.

Aksel, realizing he’d been staring into the dark fluid a little longer than intended, took the gift in hand and looked around the place.

“Yeah…” he started to say.

He trailed off once he caught a glimpse of JJ. The guy was seated next to one of the cleanup crew—the ray of sunshine even the taskmaster couldn’t dim.

Skye? Skye.

Aksel had only just met him, but something was different. Sure, he’d only had one or two interactions with JJ prior, but the two men he saw now were like two peas in a pod. Granted, JJ had come off as positive and friendly before—if a little uncouth—but their energy was way too similar.

It was kinda creepy…

JJ caught his eye and threw him a big thumbs-up. Aksel lifted his whiskey slightly in return, raising his eyebrows with a faint smirk—pretending to understand whatever JJ was trying to say.

Truthfully, he didn’t.

Aksel turned back toward the bar.

Another piece of the puzzle fell into place. Aksel reflexively sipped the whiskey, enjoying the aroma, flavor, and burn as he sightlessly stared passed his companion toward the bunch around the bar. He could feel something—from each of them.

It was chaotic. But something was happening.

Skye felt like—well, Skye. Aksel wasn’t totally surprised by how he felt. Even before whatever this was, Aksel could already feel something similar from Skye. But JJ was not like this before. Aksel didn’t have a way to compare, but even just relying on his long-honed knack for reading people…

He decided this was too much for him right now and took another drink, looking straight ahead over the bar once more.

“Hey,” he said warmly to the girl beside him. “Thank you.” He lifted the drink toward hers, offering a sincere smile of gratitude—tinged slightly with whatever seemed to be bleeding over from JJ and Skye.
