Wolfe was seated at the table and James could be seen in the background. Wolfe's eyes seemed saddened as he stared at Raven, "I'm glad you picked up." he said.

Raven blinked, clearly noticing the tension in the room right away. "... Sure thing," he replied a little cautiously.

Wolfe paused before sighing, more emotion in that sigh than Raven had every heard from him. "Remember when I told you that I felt you would have a part to play in all this? That you wouldn't need a babysitter and there was a reason you were here?"

James raised an eyebrow from the back.

Raven started to look a little nervous. "Uh..." was all he said.

Wolfe looked at Raven with piercing eyes, "Laurel's in trouble."

Raven frowned a bit wondering what on earth he could do about it that no one else could. "... What is it?" he asked.

"She's being physically and mentally abused by her father." he stated in a calm voice but the pain reflected in his eyes. James shifted a little, glancing away.

"... What...?" Raven asked quietly. After a moment he shook his head, trying to think. "What am I supposed to do?"

Wolfe swallowed, "We need to get them apart. If you can council them in any way, it will be helpful." he added, "They're both mentally unstable right now." He paused, "You remember how to fly the Juttle, right?"

"Uh..." Raven mumbled, looking rather overwhelmed. "I-I think so..."

"Bring Dan with you." he added, "Leave as soon as you can, I'll send you the coordinates. Get the plane in the air and set it to autopilot... and Raven," he paused, leaning in closer to the screen, "Nic cannot know about this." he stated firmly.

Raven blinked, his mind taking a longer to process the words than it normally did. He put a hand on his head, looking a little dizzy. "... Why?" he asked. It wasn't clear which part he required clarification on.

"I'll explain when you get here. Hurry, before Laurel gets hurt even worse." he said before sending the coordinates.

Raven glanced down as he got Wolfe's message before looking back up. "I... don't think I'm the best person for this," he said quietly.

"You're the only person we've got. Don't let us down." and with that he stood.

Raven didn't look very encouraged, and he didn't say anything as Wolfe stood.
