Legacy: part 9

“Of course he leaves that part out.” Lucas replied, staring at a child slowly becoming more and more lion. As his mane and claws grew out he growled.

“Who are you!? All of you.” The child yelled.

“Now, now.” Lucas replied. “For once I'm as out of the loop as everyone else.” he yawned. As the rest of the group joined up. “Unlike them I find it a bit boring though, honestly.”

“Reg,” Renee replied. “If he is ever in danger again. I will join the kid in becoming a lion.”
“She thinks she can do it too” Melody said. “She cant but—”

“I will try!” Renee said, stomping a boot into the wood.

“So… hmm… interesting,” Lucas said.

“What is?” Strike asked.

“I can't get a name.” Lucas replied. “Can barely get anything about this old train, in fact, about to jump somewhere in the Atlantic ocean though?”

“How do you—”

“He just does” both Melody and Renee said together.

“So your name?” Strike asked.

“I…uh… Gem” the child replied.

“You dont have one do you?” Melody asked.

“Not as far as either of us can read” Lucas replied. “Gemini? So you think you have a twin?”

Gem was silent for a while and then motioned people into a room. It was an engine room. With a piece of sword stuck into it.

“So what it do?” Strike asked.

“Teleport?” Renee replied.

“Jumps” Gem replied. “Like me”

“Like the rest of us.” Melody signed.

“He is not stable, Strike.” Renne replied as Strike opened his mouth. “Literally. He jumps through space and time, themselves.”

“A quantum.” Strike replied.

“Fix it?” Gem said tears going down his face, now.

“We’ll try” Melody said.

“He's just a were-form, right?” Strik said.

 “We pull that piece there is no further guarantees” Melody replied.

“We’re stuck with whatever we picked.” Renee said. “It’s not an easy road.”

“Well, i'm the one who knows our answer.” Lucas replied, as reached for the sword piece.
