The plan had been discussed to the smallest detail, but Kyro still hadn't liked it. Sending Iris into the jaws of the beast was not something he was comfortable with. But she was fine with it, and he couldn't change her mind.
In the end, he gave up and just let it happen. It would be better if everything could be finished swiftly. He was tired of living on the edge, not having time for anything but worry.
Iris wasn't a child either. If she believed she could do it, then he had to give her the chance to prove herself. So far, it had usually been him helping her and rarely her doing anything herself.
But when his eyes landed on her crouching next to the body of a guard, he wondered if he'd made a huge mistake. It took him a moment to even recognize her. She was glaring up at him with wide, wild eyes. Dressed in only a lab coat that hid little, she was tensed for a fight, ready to lunge forward or back depending on circumstances.
