“What kind of powers?” Eros said.

            Ramon shrugged, “Ain’t no way to know for sure.” Ramon leaned forward. “All I know is you’re gonna need it where you’re goin.”

* Candor waited with baited breath.             He watched through Eros’s minds-eye. He couldn’t watch through Marcus’s. Years ago he’d agreed to set up a boundary so tight, so confined like a barbed-wire wall around Marcus’s mind to protect him from…invasions.             Candor swallowed, he hadn’t understood it back then, now he knew the invasion would be from him and his son. The human Oracle had to have known he’d have a son who would one day rival his skills as a telepath.             No. no. no.             He dug his nails into his palms to the point of blood.

“Well don’t I feel famous,” Eros slid his knives with equal precision back within their clasps around his torso, melting to his body with ease. His suit was hardly ruffled in the fight, his hair only a little swept out of place.             He ran a hand through his hair as he surveyed the ex-Guardian.             “You knew I would do this,” Ramon said.             “You didn’t think we didn’t come prepared?” Eros stepped around the bodies still inanimate. He touched Marcus’s shoulder, tracing a line down his bare skin. The dark giant blinked out of his reverie. “Thank you, Eros,” he looked to the shop owner. “Ramon,” he nodded. “You used me,” Ramon said. “Consider it a strategic manoeuvre,” Eros stepped around the demons lowering their weapons careful not to touch them directly. “Using your power saved me from u...
