"Clear the roof," Flag said to Edwards. "Sweep for shooters so we can bring in our aviation assets. Go to the roof."

"Just oh...," Flag seemed to remember that the criminals existed. "Wait here. Please. I don't wanna gave this dude a heart attack, okay?"

"Aww," Harley said. "He's embarrassed of us."

"Hey, Flag," Floyd said, catching Flag's attention. "This dude better cure cancer after all of this shit."

Flag just nodded and opened the secure door, and stepped inside.

"So where ya been, princess?" Digger asked Athena in a threatening tone.

"Oh, so now that Flag is gone, y'all are ganging up on me?" Athena laughed and her eyes glowed. "Touching me would be a big mistake."

"Just answer the damn question, Crossbones," Floyd said in annoyance.

Athena remembered that Edwards had asked her that too. Then she snapped herself out of it and said sarcastically, "Oh, just trying not to die. And you?"

"I am fed up with ya damn sarcasm!" Digger said. "It's annoying and I hear it too much."

"Says the cocky ıɞṅ єĿ-ṡһåŗṃọọṭå who keeps trying to get his head blown off!" Athena snapped.

"Okay, now I'm 99% sure those words are insults," Floyd said. "Whatever you called him, you better apologize."

Athena stood up so quickly that it gave Digger flashbacks. Every tattoo on her body was glowing pure red, and her eyes were just the same. Everyone backed up a step, and Katana, who was closest to the door, put a hand on the hilt of her sword.

ʏå ṃọṭåҡһåĿєƒ һåʏåẇåṅ!, she snapped in a voice that sounded like a hundred voice, but was heard only in their heads. I think you all have forgotten who I am and what I am capable of. I can literally turn you inside out, bring out the deepest secrets you hold for the world to see, make your worst fears a reality, and destroy you from the inside out - all without batting an eyelash. So I am not someone you want to mess with or treat like a little kid. Basically, you don't wanna mess with this ṡһåŗṃọọṭå. Cause you're not gonna live to tell about it.

Chato and Harley were the only ones she didn't talk to, because she knew they didn't deserve it. But that enraged state was a drain on her as well, so she immediately took back her control before dropping to her knees.

"Woah!" Harley said as Chato quickly sat down to address Athena's condition. "What th'hell did ya do ta yaself, Theenie?"

"I'm fine," Athena said. "Just dizzy."

"The all-powerful snake lady gets dizzy." Floyd huffed, seeming to be hardly unaffected. "Huh. Who knew."

"Knock it off, Floyd!" Chato snapped. "You've done enough."

"ṡһȗҡŗå, Chato," Athena told him quietly. "Thanks."

"No problem, but you gotta calm down." He touched her forehead. "Don't let this control you. Fight it."

"Bullshit." Athena glanced at her tattoos. "I really am useless."

"Nah," Harley said. "Yer just devoted ta destruction, like all've us. Ya can't change that part of yaself. Ya gotta work wit it."

"Don't preach to me, Harley," Athena said.

"Hey, Athena," Chato said. "I think I know a way you personally can help us."

"And how can I do that?"

"By doing what you're doing right now: knowin' more than we do."
