Lina gasped awake, desperately trying to breath with how suffocating the men around her were.

Her reactions were quick and instant. The man holding her up flinched as she threw him over herself, neck snapping on the floor. She threw herself at the the next closest man taking him to the floor.

She had him in a choke hold as the guards tried to pry her off of the purple man.

"Lina, please," as soon as she heard the voice of a desperate Andy she stopped immediately, eyes filled with relief. This unknowingly gave the guards the time to stick something in her neck making her gasp. She tried to fight it, but it made her vision blurry quickly knocking her out.

The men who weren't holding Andy and Booker eyed the dead dude across from the unconscious woman with wide eyes.

     Embarrassed the purple man (later to be known as Keane) quickly stood up picking the unconscious woman up and started walking. The rest followed as a spare guard opened the door for the ones holding the immortals and Andy.

     "Andy," Nicolò spoke, surprised to see Andy down in the lab without having killed everyone in the building.

     "What happened?" Yusuf questioned, eyes widening when seeing a passed out Lina in arms of a guard.

     And let out a moan of pain as she was sat on the metal table. "She's not healing, I killed her." Booker let out with a unknown look on his face.

     "I need to get a line in her and stop the bleeding," the scientist bitch spoke as she assessed Andy's wound.

"Keep her alive at all costs. Don't you see? Between Sudan and now, something's changed. Find out what." Merrick spoke as he eyed the only awake woman.

     "This will stabilize her, but I have to stitch her and give her antibiotics," the bitch spieled as she started a drip.

     "Good," Merrick began, but before he could walk away Nicolò spoke.

     "All things die," the eerily calm threatening look he was given made a slight shiver run down his back.

     "What was that?" Merrick questioned slightly scared for his life.

     "Everything has to die, Mr. Merrick. The only reason we haven't... is that it's not our time yet. If it's now Andromache's, nothing you can do will stop it," Nicolò explained

     "You'd be surprised by what my products can do. I will carve slices off you for years to get what want. Your time is coming," Merrick's attempt to scare the immortals failed as Nicolò hit back.

     "As is yours," Nicolò spoke, before a very much alive Lina gasped awake, desperate for air. Nicolò and Yusuf's face visibly showed relief at the girl.

     "I expect results!" He called out before walking away like the pussy he is with the guards following.

     "Andy," Booker began, but was immediately cut off off by Lina who was already growing angry thanks to her anger issues.

     "Shut the hell up, Booker, your shot us and then betrayed us you don't get to talk," she growled already hating being tied down.

     "Yes but you came back," he said, making Lina scoff, "Then why is Andromache still bleeding," the full name slipped from her mouth without noticing as Booker looked away.

     "You shot Lina and Andy? You selfish piece of shit!" Yusuf snarled.

     "Joe, leave it. Please!" Nicolò tried to persuade Yusuf.

     "What do you know of the weight of all these years alone?" Booker questioned incredulously.

     A small laugh came from Yusuf's mouth, "You're a very pathetic man, Booker."

     "Joe, stop." Nicolò pleaded.

     "You and Nicky and Lina always had each other, right. And all we had... was our grief," Lina grimaced already knowing what Yusuf would say.

     "Well, now you have even more." Bingo.

     Lina put her head back as it ached from the fighting. "Lina, cuore mio, stai bene?" Nicolò asked referring to the bloody mess of her forehead.

     "Sto bene mio caro," she started, "come state tu e Yusuf?" She asked worried for what happened when she wasn't around.

     "Ci hanno dato dei pungoli, ma a parte questo, stavamo parlando di Malta," a small chuckle left her lips as she Yusuf smiled brightly at her.

     "We should visit," she spoke staring at the two men, a small smile on their faces.

     "We should," Yusuf agreed, a broad smile on his face.

     It had only been about ten minutes when they heard gunshots from outside of lab. A small smirked as her mind went to the first thing she thought of, Nile.

     The door slammed open Nile entering gunshot wounds on her stomach. "Nile," Booker said in surprise.

"Behind you!" He called out as two guards turned the corner to the door. They shot at Nile landing one or two good shots before she managed to close the door, grunting.

"Nile!" Nicolò and Lina rang out, as scientist bitch grabs whatever they have Lina that made her pass out and run towards Nile.

Nile easily takes her out and jogs towards Andy.

"There's four shooters at the door and more coming," Nile spoke as she unstrapped Andy, and when she didn't move to grab the gun she held out, Nile sent a glare.

"Andy," snapped Nile.

"Immortal or not, you made a promise. Whatever it takes," she put the gun in her hand helping finish unstrapping her.

"I've seen it, Andy. I know all the good you've done," Nile takes out another gun preparing for the door to open. When it does the four officers fall, dead.

"You came back," Andy murmured as she undid her last buckle and moved on to help Lina. As soon as she undid the arm Lina finished unbuckling and helped Nicolò and Yusuf get out of theirs.

"Yeah." Nile answered moving towards Booker.

"No, just leave me here," he spoke. He was beating himself up over it, but Lina knew he was always beating himself over something.

"No man left behind." Nile argued, walking away.

"There's always a first time. He's nothing but a traitor. That's," Yusuf's rant was cut off by Andy as she finished unbuckling one of the straps.

"Stop! This is not the time for it. We don't get a say in when it ends. We never have. But we can control how we live," she moved over to stand in front of Booker to finish her speech, "And to be honest, Book, you and I, we've been doing a shit job of it. Now, get up."

Andy cocked her gun as she spoke, "Let's go. We stop Merrick here and now or he never stops coming after us."

"Andy. Are you sure?" Nicolò asked referring to the gunshot wound.

"This changes nothing. We walk out of here like always. Together. Let's get this motherfucker," Andy growled.

With a small smirk a wink towards the boys Lina led them out with a shiver of anticipation.
