I look in the mirror and take a deep breath, trying to make sense of my thoughts. "Steven, I'm ready." Am I though?
This is what I do best.
The only thing I can do.
"Talkin' to Pierce right now," Steven says as he sits on my bed. "This is going to be almost impossible to pull off dude, just saying." He shakes his head.
"Fate chose me for a reason. Maybe that reason is to save this damn mission from Raine. I'm the only one that can keep Raine from killing Thetis at this point," I say and look down. There has to be a reason I'm here because I know it's not for a happily-ever-after.
That ship sailed as soon as Raine showed his true colors.
I have come to terms that I will be going home after all of this is over. But for now, at least I can help save the mission.
Raine is on a suicide mission that does not include me.
