is that we’re going?” Taylor asked him.
“All Carlos told me is that we’ll meet a guy there who’ll tell us what we’ve got to do,” Q replied.
“C’mon guys. Just relax. We’ve got half a day to burn,” Elizabeth suggested.
After that, everyone went about doing their own stuff.
Q picked up a superman comic that Kai had brought and flicked through the pages. Chris studied Elizabeth to try and figure out why she had fainted like that.
Taylor sat in the bunks practicing her sword stance. She had started acting more seriously now that everyone knew that she was a dark knight.
Q wondered if this was her actual personality and the ‘always cheerful’ Taylor was just a gag.
Kai sat in the pit looking at the constellations in space. He had a lot on his mind.
What Q had told them only gave them a general idea and not the complete picture. He hoped that this guy that they were going to meet would clear it up for them.
Q put the comic down after a while and went over to Taylor. She was sitting on her bunk looking out into space.
“What’s wrong?” she turned to Q.
“I was just wondering why this stuff was kept a secret from me for so long,” Q said.
Taylor sighed. “You weren't ready. The universe wasn't facing any threats either. I may be wrong, but I think the whole reason Carlos brought you into this now is because he thinks you're the only one who can save the universe.”
“Isn’t that kind of funny? I mean, why can't you do it? Why can't Elizabeth? All those kids from the other classes? Carlos himself could take on this mission.”
“It’s simple really. None of them ever created a force field.”
“I don't even know how to wield a sword!”
“And yet you were able to beat a seasoned swordsman,” she said. “Don’t underestimate yourself. You’re much more than what you think.”
Q recalled Carlos telling him the same thing. “Thanks Taylor,” he smiled.
He walked back to the pit and picked up another comic.
Chris was fully focused. She just needed to know why Elizabeth had reacted like that.
“Thank you for saving me,” Elizabeth said.
She was lying on a table in the infirmary right behind the bunker. There were machines all around her taking scans.
“No problem at all,” Chris smiled.
“So what do you think is the problem?”
“I’d like to tell you that I know but actually, I have no idea what went wrong.”
Elizabeth got up from the table. “Maybe we should try it some other time,” she said.
“Yeah. Maybe.” Chris agreed.
“You must be an amazing healer if Carlos recommended you to be our medic.”
“Let’s just say I’m good,” Chris smiled.
Kai was still deep in thought when he saw a bright orange speck far away. He used the telescope to look at it. It seemed to be a planet.
“Q, Just take a look at this.” He handed the telescope to Q.
Q looked through the telescope excitedly. He saw the planet. He even searched around to see if there were other planets in the area. There weren’t. This was the planet that they were looking for. It had to be.
They’d reached.
“I’ll go tell the others,” Q said
He got everyone up and ready.
“Let’s take a look at this planet.” Elizabeth looked through the telescope.
“Take a look,” she said and handed it to Taylor. “It looks like a desert.”
Taylor took a look as well. “I’d hate to say this but she’s right,” she concluded.
“Why? What’s the problem with a desert?” Q was confused. They could beat up huge giants but they were afraid of a desert?
“The heat is nothing compared to the Sahara. Us Gaia won't survive in it for long,” Elizabeth said.
“Huh? Gaia?” Q asked.
“The other name for Earthlings. You do know that right?” Elizabeth said.
Q nodded sheepishly. He’d completely forgotten what Carlos had taught him. Not good.
“Guys quiet. I need to focus,” Kai said.
“Why? Is landing such a tough thing?” Chris asked.
“You don’t know the air
