looked up me. He nodded his head. “I think I’ll try and do that.” He smiled, and I smiled back.
    Three down, one to go.
    I stepped out of the garage and walked on the stone path to the back door to the house, my conscious feeling much better and lighter. There was still one more person I needed to confront before I felt totally okay, and I doubted it was going to be as easy as everybody else.
    Before I could start looking for Selena though, Doug stuck his head out the back door. “Kane! You need to get inside. It’s London. Athena was right, they need us.”

A Decision
    “ W hat’s going on ?” I said as I followed Doug into the living room. Drew was laying himself down on the couch, not wanting to miss whatever it was Doug was about to say.
    “I just got a message from Ellie, one of the members of Leopold’s squad,” Doug said as he moved his laptop over from in front of the couch. He sat down on the recliner, pulling everything up on his computer screen.
    The backdoor opened, and Selena walked in through the kitchen. “Something happen?” she asked.
    Doug nodded. “Yeah, it turns out Athena was right about something at least. Our friends in Europe are asking for our help.”
    Selena walked across to stand by Drew across from me. “What are they saying?”
    “The Legion of Richter is really starting to expand their reach out there. The government has a lot of their people out on different sorts of missions—including Leopold—so their numbers aren’t as strong as they need to be in order to repel the attack. They’ve set up strict curfews, soldiers out in the street, all their political leaders running the country from underground bunkers, etc. They’ve got things on total lockdown.”
    “So what do they need us to do?” I asked.
    “They want us to come over there and help repel the attack. If The Legion were to have control over America and Europe, it’d be pretty much game over. They’d be able to spread like wildfire from there, and there’s not much we’d be able to do to stop them.” Doug looked between Selena and I as we processed the information.
    “So what you’re saying is that, Athena or no Athena, we’d be pretty stupid not to go over there and help them?” Selena asked.
    Doug nodded his head. “Yeah, it really sounds like they need our help. Besides, they didn’t let me forget that they came over here and helped us when Raven was attacking.”
    I chuckled quietly and shook my head. “Is there anyone out there that we don’t owe?”
    Doug laughed. “At this rate, there’s not going to be many people left.”
    “So what’s our next step?” Drew asked, bringing us back on topic
    Doug cleared his throat. “Right now they’re waiting on a response from me. Should I tell them we’re coming?”
    I looked over to Selena. “You think we can do this?” I asked. Despite the fact she was annoyed with me—and for good reason—I knew I couldn’t do any of this without her help. I didn’t want to do it without her.
    Selena nodded her head. “I think we can. We have to.” She hesitated for a moment. “Especially if it means it’ll give us a chance to find out where Samantha is,” she said, a little quieter than usual.
    I nodded my head, agreeing with her, happy that she was admitting that we needed to follow along with Athena. “Okay then, let them know we’re on our way—all of us.”
    “Um, well if we’re all going, we should wait a bit.” Drew said. He lifted up a hand and pointed at himself. “Still got a concussion.”
    I turned to Doug. “Can they wait another twenty-four hours or so?”
    “I’ll ask, but it shouldn’t be a problem,” Doug said, already typing our response message.
    “Okay then,” I said, taking a deep breath. “It seems tomorrow we’re heading to London.”

The Arrival
    A chill breeze rushed across my skin as I walked down the streets of London, which was now a ghost town. I thought it was empty last time I was here just a
