Vespa’s reaction was exactly the same as her own. Disbelief at how often their paths had crossed, relief that now, finally, their secrets were out in the open. She could only smile at him. After tonight there would be so much for them to discuss… but there were more important matters at hand.

Her face lit up whenever he mentioned his intentions. She should, perhaps, feel slighted that he had not told her everything, had planned to face this massive challenge alone, but instead she felt privileged to be able to aid him now. As Pasiphae, that was all she had ever wanted to do for Vespa. As Penelope, it was all she could for Scott. That meant it was imperative to get to the park. “It can’t hurt us to get there before her. Let me send a message first, and then let’s go.”

Pasiphae whipped out her Senshi phone. General Mica was not the only one who could call for help. Any the masked Senshi contacted would come only because they wished to, not because of orders… and she thought that the better way. A purification. She had always spoken of them, had tried to persuade others to take advantage of them and now? Now she was going to see one for herself. She and anyone who came to the text she sent to every Senshi she had on her list.

’Need assistance with Negaverse. Purification attempt. Park. Please hurry.’

Message sent, Pasiphae took Vespa’s gloved hand in her own and nodded to show her readiness. Whatever happened, they would face this trial together. She could not wait until the aura he exuded no longer sent a tendril of dread up her stomach. Soon, he would feel warm, filled with the softness that she knew he possessed. Now was the time for his light to shine.
