Jacinda's watched the image of Aria go up on the screen. And her profile. Her eyes widened slightly. Huh. Furia. That explained a lot. Even could explain the way Barovsky treated her. Maybe.
She'd known a few furia in her time. Runey was the last. Seth's gamble had paid off, what with her mom being possessed by a wefuke and all while pregnant. When Seth told her the story, she'd been pretty frank about what he shoulda done. Sad, yeah. But she wasn't being heartless.
She knew the fear that you might give birth to a monster. Those rougs had wanted to keep her all those years ago for a reason. Trapped in that room, handcuffed to that bed, she'd wanted to die just at the thought of being used like that, some brood mare or something, for them to spawn more monsters, giving birth to abominations. It woulda been a mercy to kill the child in the womb, or even at birth. Failing that, killing her woulda been a kindness.
Those women she and Ricky rescued in Mexico from that nest of rougs had been given the same choice. They'd been kept and used by them for who knew how long. The odds were high at least was pregnant. There really was no choice. Take the pills or the bullet.
It wasn't pretty. But then again, neither were rougs or wefuke or dreyken or any of them. A mercy, however hard for someone to understand.
Well she understood, all too well.
But Seth had been lucky. Then again, who knew if Rune's ability as Furia was related. To be fair, though, the girl had never been anything but dedicated. Fun sense of humor on her too. Good to be around. But dedicated, most of all. And she respected that. At the end of the day- well a lot of days actually. Took time to earn trust- the girl had proven herself. It was a good ability to have, in the hunt. An advantage they needed.
Aria's record was nothing short of extraordinary. It explained a lot. Not Barovsky, though, now that she thought about it. If Rune and all the others were allowed leeway, why not her?
Bah, it didn't matter. She was a traitor. And they needed to find her. For Yoshi, at the least. Amelia found the last location using tech voodoo. Couldn't deny it saved time....but there was no finesse in it. No fun.
Ten seemed ready to jump out of her skin, wanting to go. Poor girl. That cabin fever had really gotten to her, all that taking care of an old invalid. Well she wasn't what she once was, but she still had a lotta miles left in her. Yeah, gonna have to make it up to her.
To Amelia, "Well, lead the way then. Ten is right- and ready to out run us all. And I'm sure your bot friends probably want to go too. Should ask 'em anyway. See if they're in the mood,"
she added dryly.
