Wake up Althea

Elle P.O.V
...

"What? No!" Talon lashed out at Oscar, "If I go, who is going to watch your back?"

He smirked, "I think I can handle myself."

"Oh please, I've saved your life a shit tonne of times!" She snaps, and I watched as Oscar rolled her eyes towards him.

Oscar let off a small laugh, "And how many times did you recklessly ran into so many situations where we both saved eachother."

Talon gets ready to argue, but then retracts, "You know I hate it when you do that."

He smiles at her, standing up and rustling her head, "I know kiddo."

She smiled at him, like a little sister would a big brother, before pushing his hand off her head, "I hate that you ya know." She smiled, before realising something, "What about Jose? I can't leave him, he's like my nephew! Who's gonna teach him how to defend himself?"

Oscar rolled his eyes, "I will. I'm his dad," he put a stern hand on her shoulder, "Now go."

She rolled her eyes, "Not like we can really leave until this one wakes up!"

And right on cue, Althea began to stir.

I left off a sigh of relief, "Oh thank god..." my heart flew to my chest. I moved over to Althea helping her sit up.

Her eyes were sleepy, as she looked into mine. "April?"

I smiled at her, "Yeah, it's me."

"Angela wants us..." she breathed struggling to get up, "At the Arctic."

My eyebrows shot up, "the Arctic? Seriously?"

Althea nodded, still looking a little groggy from only just waking up.

April was staring intensely at the ground, as if processing what she just heard. The look was so focused, you probably wouldn't be able to break it as a third party. Until she snapped her head up, "We have to go."

I looked at her shocked, "Seriously?"

She nodded at me, "everything Angela says and does, she does for a reason. We have to go. It's probably going to help us stop the HELE."

"She needs us there as soon as possible. And there's always a reason."

I looked at her dumbfounded, "Are you sure? We're ok to just pack up and move to the Antarctic?"

April nodded, "There is no getting around this."

...

Oscar handed us papers, detailing our flights to the Antarctic. "Take these to the airport. You can use the tunnels here to get you to there fast and safe." He turns to Talon, "Talon knows where she's going. So it you guys will be alright."

Althea nodded as she looked over the papers, "thank you Oscar. For everything."

Talon stood there with her arms folded, "Yeah, thanks old man." I watched as Oscar smirked and pulled her in for a nuggie. She tried her best to push him off but to no luck. "STOP BEFORE I BURN YOU!"

The man laughed and let her go. "Now, you best be getting out of here. I'll tell Jose you said goodbye. Besides, you're coming back. I can feel it."

I smiled at the interaction as April begins to head for the exits. "Good luck Oscar. Thank you."

He shook his head, "No, thank you. Go save the world girls."

I nodded at him and gve him a small wave before I disappeared down the tunnel after April.
