Chapter 12
“You’re sure she’s not going to remember anything? At all?” Jane asked as they buckled the unconscious Darcy Lewis into the passenger seat of their car.
“Not a thing.” Scott said
“This isn’t the first time I’ve done this.” Evolt added “She might get flashes of her past, but without exposure to me and this place, you should be fine with her.”
“And…” Scott said “If you help her be a better person, she might not what to go back to the way she was. This is a second chance.”
“Thanks.” Jane said, taking her and Darcy’s wedding rings off.
“Can you get rid of these for me?” she asked.
“Will do.” Skye said as she took them.
Jane took off down the road.
“So, now what do we do?”
“We get the hell out of here.” Evolt said as he made for another car.
“Wait, what about the other inhumans and the mutants.”
“They’re already dead.” Evolt said coldly. “The moment we broke out, the Mojave military was ordered to destroy this place.”
“We can’t just leave them.” Skye protested
“We have only a few minutes and this place is crawling with guards. We need to leave.”
“No. We can’t…” Daisy said.
Evolt suddenly made a cringing look on his face, which the girls figured was Scott doing something. Their shared body fell on its hands and knees.
“I swear one of these days you’ll learn to listen to me.” The alien said before ceding control back to Scott.
“Scott?” Daisy asked.
“Sorry about that…’
“I told you this was a bad idea.”
“You can ‘told you so’ me all you want when we get out of here…”
Suddenly, a fighter jet buzzed low overhead.
“OK, here’s what we’re going to do. Thor, go grab on to the fence.”
The tall Asgardian ran over and grabbed the chain link fence surrounding the complex.
“This might hurt… a lot.”
Scott took a deep breath and let Evolt take over. The alien held up their hand and a sort of tentral shot out, stabbing Thor in the back. He let out a loud, bellowing yell and suddenly, his eyes began to glow bright blue.
Sparks of lightning shot from his body and traveled along the fence, reaching up and striking the jet on its next pass, sending it crashing to the ground.
“Ok, you two get on letting everyone out.” Scott said, “I’ll work on getting us out of here.”
It took about twenty minutes, but Skye and Daisy were able to get everyone to run for it before Scott pulled up with Thor in a car.
They were about five miles down the road when an explosion behind them signaled the Mojave air force had returned and blown the camp up.
“Don’t think I’m making a habit out of this” Evolt said inside Scott’s head.
“Oh, you will buddy, you will.”
“We’ll see about that…”
