Before Spartan stepped out the door he stopped to hear Alex, he grinned slightly behind his helmet before turning his head to her
"we may not have duct tape, but there are still some animal cages left in the cargo bay, they should do" he said as he left the bridge with Kore-Drax over his left shoulder as he made way for the cargo bay
.
Eve hummed a little tune as she rested on her back on Magnus's neck, her right leg hanging down over his neck as she idly swung it back and fourth while Magnus was resting on his stomach, his yellow glowing eye's wide open as he kept watch on the door entering the cargo hold in case any possibly threats tried to enter, shortly he heard the sound of armored footsteps, it caught Eve's ear as well, she got to her hands and knees as she looked at the door, to her relief Spartan entered the room, and that alien from the shop they escaped
"umm..."
.
"hey Eve, Magnus, how you two holding up?" he asked through his helmet with a smile as he walked towards one of the smaller cages
.
"just fine" Eve answered with a look of slight concern
"but why are you carrying him?" she asked as she pointed to the alien slung over Spartan's shoulder, he stopped and looked to her then to Kore-Drax
.
"oh, right... well there was a bit of a... commotion in the bridge and he was the cause of it... so I hope to prevent further commotion by keeping him down here until we get home, then I'll release him..." he said as he turned to the cage he approached, he looked at the locking mechanism for a few seconds, deciding to take the fast option to getting it open, with a quick slash of his laser blade the cage door swung open as the lock fell to the floor, he then entered the cage and placed Kore-Drax inside the center on it, when Spartan left the cage he closed the door then placed the cut lock where it was before, his L.A.R was summoned into his right hand and he aimed at the lock, with a few timed quick shots from the laser weapon the metal lock was super heated and melted slightly, welding the cage door shut, Spartan lightly smiled at his work as he let go of his weapon, before it hit the floor it disintegrated into light as it was recalled to his Slip-Space Container, he turned to face Eve and Magnus before his armored deactivated
"so anything happen with you two before I got here?" he asked as he walked up to them
.
"well, there was this large lizard alien thing that attacked us, but Magnus took care of it" she said with a smile as she looked to Magnus's head, he let out a low rumble as he rested on his stomach again
.
"well, sounds like you had more fun than I did" he said with a grin as Eve jumped down from Magnus
.
"so... now what?..." Eve asked with a slight frown
.
"now we wait, I gave someone the second key needed to fly the ship, hopefully we can trust them" he said placed his hands behind his head
.
"... and if we can't trust them?" she asked as she lightly held her hands together in front of herself, Spartan grinned when he went to respond
.
"well then well just get Magnus to deal with them" he said as he ruffled Eve's hair, she closed her eye's with a smile as he did so, slightly ducking her head
"and if Magnus can't do anything then I will" he said on a more serous note as he began walking towards the door that exited the cargo bay
"I'm heading back up to the bridge to see how everything's going, do you want to come with me or are you fine here?" he asked with a pleasant smile
.
Eve wanted to follow Spartan but she also didn't want to leave Magnus alone, she thought he had been alone long enough when they were abducted
"I think I'll stay here to keep Magnus company, maybe I'll join you later" she said with a smile, Spartan nodded then turned and left to head back to the bridge, Eve then returned to Magnus, she jumped up and landed gently on his back before resting on him and closing her eye's, Magnus moved his head slightly to see her, he let out a slight rumble before resting his head on the floor and closing his yellow glowing eye's as well
