"Dante! I know you're out there! Leaving your husband on his own was not the smartest of your ideas!" Even now, as he watched carefully for the other immortal, he hit the speed dial on his phone and waited for his contact to pick up.

"Grab the professor..." he growled into the phone still searching for Dante.
