"I'm afraid so," Sofi said.

"Combined, we might be able to escape from one. Could never defeat one," Jule said.

"Darian can. He's killed his first Other," she said with pride.

"Do the Watchers know this?" Dusty asked.

"Probably."

"It's a good skill to have, until he pisses off someone," Jule mused. "I'm still digging out souls imprisoned in the ground by the Other in Ireland. I don't need a pissed Watcher or Other sneaking up on me."

"So it's Darian against all the Watchers and Others in the universe," Dusty summarized. "I'd put my money on him, only because he's got no sense of his mortality. The rest of us might be hosed, though."

"Maybe not," Sofi said. "If he finds his mate …"

"We can find her," Jule said.

"We already know who she is," Damian volunteered. "Sorry, Sofi, but they need to know."

She hesitated, aware she never should've told Damian, let alone allowed Xander to pry the answer out of her when they'd met. Xander had gone so far to tell Jenn. The damage was done. Damian didn't keep secrets from his brothers. She nodded her permission.

"Jenn," Damian said.

"What?" Dusty stared.

"We talking about the same Jenn?" Jule asked.

"She's got too much sense to …" Dusty trailed off. "She would balance him out." He grew thoughtful.

"They'd make good partners," Damian said. "Jenn knows. Dusty, she's fighting it."

"No shit. That's what she does," Dusty said. "If the future relies upon her accepting him, I'm not sure it'll happen."

"It must," Sofi said. "So when she comes to see you, Dusty, tell her whatever you must."

"You want me to convince her?"

"You won't have to. Just reinforce."

"Tricky," Jule commented. "In the meantime, do I have to worry about any immortal assholes stalking me down?"

"You all do," Sofi whispered. "They will come for us all."

The men fell silent around her.

"Are you saying we'll all die?" Jule asked.

"No," she said. "I can't See that far. What I can see is that we will all be taken. I can't see where, but I know Bianca and Yully need to stay here."

"We'll all stay. I'm not leaving my Bianca alone," Dusty said.
