They looked over Manhattan and Brooklyn. They would have to drive through traffic to get to where they were going, since Natasha was too tired to teleport. So they pressed the helmet button and changed the gloves into Tron motorcycles and drove off.

They made it with plenty of time to spare. It wasn't rush hour. Andrea had summoned an Egyptian monster that was tearing up a culdisac.

And that was their great plan to get into the Brooklyn House. Astrid poked her head around the corner. Then Andrea poked her head around the corner under her's and Natasha overhead. They had taken on new disguises. Natasha had a beautiful golden skin with brown hair to match. She had cutoff shorts on and a tank top on. Andrea went simple with blonde hair and a tanned skin. She had a pair of running shorts and a t-shirt. Astrid had pale skin and colourfully coloured hair with blues, greens, and purple hair and some areas that looks bleached. She shorter jean shorts and jersey for the Vancouver Canucks. She chose it since it looked kinda cool and she would never wear one since she didn't watch hockey.

She watched the monster eat a brick. It looked like it wasn't enjoying it anymore than Jason Grace does.

A small tug in her stomach told her the calviery were almost here. She picked up a long curved knife.

"Let's do this." She said. Then ran out at the monster. It turned to look at them with red eyes. Freak and the gang showed up out of the sky. They circled before jumping out. Carter held a kiopesh. Sadie held a staff and wand. Walt looked ready to tackle it and dissolve it. Zia held a ball of fire. Astrid ran at the monster drawing it's attention to her. It roared and charged her. She placed on foot behind the front one to stabilize herself.

It jumped.

Too late Astrid realized a knife wasn't going to cut it.

Carter came up from the side and stabbed it. The momentum swivelled it around in a half circle. Black sparks flew from Carter's shoes. The monster ripped the sword out of Carter's hand.

"Oh, Set." He growled and ran for it. To give him time to move out of the way Astrid stabbed the monster in the rear end. It kicked out and sent Astrid flying. She slammed into the wall and stars clouded her vision. Astrid went to get up and stopped. Pain stabbed her leg. She had landed on a pitch fork. And a spike of metal was going through her leg. She blinked back tears and groaned.

She was out of this fight.

Andrea ran up to her side. She went to reach out to help but stopped not knowing what to do. Astrid moaned. The metal had went through her leg. It didn't touch the bone but it pierced the flesh. Zia looked over. Surprise flashed across her face before she chucked a fireball at the monster. Astrid struggled to control her breathing. If she controlled her breathing it would help in the long run.

Walt grabbed the tail and the monster burst into grey ashes. He grabbed his own knees to regain his balance since using that amount of drift is tiring.

Sadie brought Freak over and it took everyone to load her into the boat. By now tears slid down her face. She was losing the battle with pain.

It was the same battle she went through with her side. Where her side and lower half of her rib cage were feeling like they were being ripped open.

"It's okay to cry." Sadie said as she started preparing the boat to get the pitch fork out. Astrid knew that. Will had told her that in some of the earlier days of her crippled state with the drift when the pain was at its worst.

But doctors were used to crying. And blood. And other nasties Astrid couldn't handle. She had been told she was a pretty crier. But in her opinion she wasn't. So she tried not to cry.

The Brooklyn House came into view. She looked at Natasha and Andrea who were preparing the barrier to let them through. They slide through and landed. Jaz was waiting with a stretcher.
