Luminescence 24

Marcus did not break eye contact from the snarling Rover, “This mission is at an end, we go to Ramon, we find out what the item is and go home.”

            Eros placed one arm behind the booth, “Oh really?”

            “Really.”

            “It’s as simple as that?”

            “Yes.”

            “Then you won’t mind if the Travelling Guardians accompany us in case something goes wrong?” Eros’s voice lilted like a flower turning toward the sun. “Or perhaps you won’t mind if I tell them what we found.”

“Nothing will go wrong,” Marcus watched Enda as he dug into Eros’s plate. Marcus knew the profile of each of these Guardians, he’d been a part of the selection committee. Enda of Native American descend was tattooed from head to toe in animals, his power was to give shape to any creature on his skin. He’d been a Travelling Guardian for little over a year; his older brother had been a part of the team before then.

Rover had been with the team for five years, on and off, his power lay in strength and muscle. It was said his sense of gravity was so dense he could not be moved unless willingly.

For the two offensive powers, there was Annandale with his defensive power to balance and ground them. He could render a man unconscious or give him amnesia with a touch of his hand. Of all the three, it was Annandale Marcus would steer clear of.

“Hey, sorry had to park the car, you can’t get parking anywhere in London.” That voice knocked Marcus out of his seat.
