"We should have jumped in. If we were there, we could have maybe stopped what happened", said Jordan squeezing his fist in anger.
"There's nothing we could have done unless we attacked Rowan together. He is no slouch in strength unless we get him by surprise", said Christian looking at Jordan.
"The plan only worked because of us attacking without being noticed. If it wasn't for bosses' coordinates, we would have been found in seconds once we entered Alaska", said Jayden looking both at Jordan and Christian.
"So, what now. We attacked this base, and we didn't catch Kayla at all. She's till out there, and we know she was working with a high-class enemy", said Jordan looking at Jayden.
"The U.S military is going to investigate the Iset base we just infiltrated today. Maybe Kayla wasn't even there, what if it was all just a way to get us off her ass", said Jayden looking at both Christian and Jordan.
"But the intel we have tells us Kayla has been in Alaska for years now and now she moves again", said Jordan.
"We can't let her get out of Alaska and escape us", said Christian.
"And we won't my friends, but I should comfort my girlfriend first", said Jayden looking at Jordan.
"Umm. But Helena said we could plan without her", said Jordan looking back at Jayden confused.
"Don't worry. I trust you two with getting everything together. I'm going to help her get comfortable so she can join us. Anything can happen to us, so I'm worried of us being separate", said Jayden looking at Jordan.
Christian put his hand on Jayden's shoulder. "Let's get to work. We can get everything together so the meeting can start right away".
"That's true. Ok, we'll be waiting for you both then", said Jordan starting to prepare to go down in the basement of their hidden base.
Jayden watched both go down the steps to enter the basement to organize everything for the next meeting needed to find Kayla.

Jayden opened the hospital room door and walked into the hospital room to see Helena holding her sister's hand while sitting right beside her. Helena looked up to see Jayden looking at her with worry while holding flowers. Helena got up from the chair quickly and hugged Jayden tightly. She knows they argue a lot alone but today she needs him more than ever right now. Jayden was hugging her back with one arm while holding the flowers with another. Helena let go of Jayden and stepped back to see the flowers he was holding. And she thought they were beautiful.
"I brought you your favorite followers. Roses", said Jayden handing them to Helena still wrapped in protective plastic.
Helena took the flowers and started to smell them with joy. Helena moved the flowers from her face to look at Jayden. "They are beautiful Jayden. I love it when you get me these. If Emma was awake right now, she would love them too", said Helena looking at him.
"Anything for my favorite girl", said Jayden leaning in to kiss Helena on the cheek.
Helena, holding the flowers, giggled and blushed while looking at Jayden. She knew no matter what happened he would always love her no matter what. He has his bad moments, but he always makes them up to her, he's all she ever had and could get in her life.
"So, what's your sister's status", asked Jayden walking up to see Emma asleep on the bed.
"She's paralyzed from the waist down and won't be walking ever again", said Helena walking up towards a vase.
"Paralyzed! Did Rowan do that much damage from one attack", said Jayden looking at Helena with shock in his face and voice.
"Yes", said Helena putting the followers in the vase. "It seems Mr. X needs to have his files updated again on Rowan", said Helena pouring water into the vase.
"Again? We had them updated with our meeting a month ago by MRC's Data Analysist Department", said Jayden looking at Helena pour water into the vase.
"I know, but Jayden it took my Tier 2 enhancements and a boost in strength by Caleb our Guardian to give me enough strength to surprise attack him and even hurt him. And the first attack even with all that planned time we made in the meeting room wasn't enough to actually sedate Rowan with a attack like that", said Helena putting down the glass of water she used to pour water into the vase so she could look back at Jayden while talking to him.
"Yes, but Helena that doesn't make sense. Even if he became stronger, he shouldn't have had enough defense to survive an attack from a Celestial User and the Chosen Guardian himself. He's able to use all our powers and fuse with all our Celestial Beast if he pleases", said Jayden looking at Helena.
"Even if that's true, said Helena turning away from the bed her sister is laying in to look out the window. "He's become more powerful so quickly, even without using Alienware Space Technology that we found in the Iset Facility", said Helena looking out the window.
"Does that mean maybe someone is giving strength to others without us noticing", asked Jayden looking at Helena's back while she was looking out the window to see the snow fall in Alaska.
"I think it was Kayla giving the strength without us knowing, and maybe the reason we couldn't find Kayla is because she's still hiding here", said Helena turning to look at Jayden.
"Or even worse, what if she wanted us to come here. "What if she has a plan bigger than we expect", said Jayden walking up to Helena to put his hand on her shoulders.
"That means we need to get back to the base quickly, think of another plan and ill come back here to check up on my sister", said Helena looking up at Jayden in the eyes.
"There's more we can do for her Helena", said Jayden looking at Helena's beautiful eyes.
"How", said Helena shaking her head to then look away from Jayden.
"Because Mr. X can maybe help use fix her with his powers. We can fix this", said Jayden taking one of her hands off of her shoulders so he could use her hand to make her look at him.
Helena looking at Jayden could feel her heart beating and trying not to cry. Jayden wanted to lean in and kiss her to try and give her more comfort so she could feel safety. But before they could lock lips Helena saw something from the corner of her eye while beginning to kiss Jayden. Helena noticed it was an arrow, Helena grabbed Jayden and pushed him down with her. Jayden was in shock and couldn't believe what Helena just did.
"Helena what's wrong", said Jayden confused.
Helena got up off Jayden when she heard beeping and moved quickly over to her defenseless sister to wrap her body around her to protect her. Jayden, hearing the sound, used his Dark Ox barrier without being in his costume to protect his girlfriend and her sister. The arrow exploded causing the building to shake and rubble to fall from that part of the building the arrow was shot at. Individuals walking around stopped to see what just happened while ducking or running back to get away from any falling debris.
Helena fused with her Celestial Beast Pinky, while Jayden fused with Dark Ox while in the room with the smoke so no one would notice a thing. Helena looked back to see the barrier protected what it could in the room even though the barrier was cracked. Helena was shocked to see Jayden's barrier was even damaged at all. His defenses are usually impenetrable.
Jayden looked back at Helena. "Helena look", said Jayden pointing at a figure standing on a building far away.
Helena, being upset, wasn't thinking and started to fly towards the figure without even thinking.
"Helena wait!", shouted Jayden, but he was to slow to try and stop Helena. Jayden looked back and kept his barrier up to fly and catch up with Helena to help her.
Helena flew in front of where the arrow was shot on the building and noticed no one was there at all. Helena looked around at the roof of the building and couldn't figure out where the individual went so quickly.
"Soul Sakura did you find anything", asked Dark Ox while finally catching up to her on the roof of the building.
"No", said Helena shaking her head while trying to use her Wall Hacks Technique to try and find the individual anywhere. "But I think the assailant is gone", said Helena still looking.
Jayden was surprised. Someone getting away that fast without Helena seeing them has never happened once. Maybe this could be a problem for them now.
