“And your other bargaining chip?” Trickster asked.
“Grue. I can sense him with my power. I can also sense my team.
Well, at least that means he’s alive, for now.
They got their hands on darkness boy.”
…for now.
Not that I think he’s going to die, but this is still bad news.
I swear my heart stuttered mid-beat.
Cherish smiled, but her glare didn’t fade in intensity. “My teammates and I already talked on the subject of Jean Paul, aka Hijack, aka Alec, aka Regent… You got Shatter, and you got me. We’re compromised.
Dammit, of course she would’ve informed them on that.
No way they’re going to accept us back with open arms. They’d kill us first. So no, don’t get your hopes up. My teammates aren’t going to agree to a hostage exchange.”
However, the Nine don’t necessarily know where Shatterbird went. It might be possible to convince them that she got separated from them and couldn’t… nah, fine, that’s too much of a stretch given the likely existence of a predetermined rendezvous point.
Though maybe they could get Cherish to tell them where that is.
