showstopper, something no one else could compare to. But… I shake my

                head. It’s too risky.
                   “What  are  you  thinking,  Sorrengail?”  Imogen  asks  and  the  room  falls

                silent. “I can see the little gears turning in your mind.”

                   “It’s probably nothing.” I glance at the members of our squad. But is it
                nothing?

                   “Get up here and work it out in your head,” Imogen orders.

                   “Seriously, it’s mad. Like, undoable. We’d get thrown in the brig if we’re
                caught.” I snap my mouth shut before I say anything more.

                   But it’s too late—Imogen’s eyes are sparkling with interest.

                   “Get. Up. Here. And. Work. It. Out,” she orders, making sure I know it’s
                not a suggestion.

                   “We can wield, right?” I stand, brushing my hands down my sides and the
                hilts of the six daggers sheathed there.

                   “By all means necessary,” Heaton repeats, nodding.

                   “All right.” I rock back on my heels, letting my mind whirl through a
                plan.  “I  know  Ridoc  can  wield  ice,  Rhiannon  can  retrieve,  Sawyer  can

                manipulate metal, Imogen can mind-wipe recent memories—”
                   “And I’m fast,” she adds.

                   Something she has in common with Xaden.

                   “Heaton, what about you?” I ask.
                   “I can breathe underwater,” they answer.

                   I blink. “Awesome, but I don’t think that’s going to come in handy if we

                do this. Emery?”
                   “I can control wind.” He grins. “A lot of wind.”

                   All  right,  that  one  could  be  defensively  useful,  but  not  quite  what  I’m

                looking for.
                   My boots squeak on the floor as I turn to face her. “Quinn?”

                   “I can astral project. Keep my body in one place and then walk around
                somewhere else.”
