"Davian is a dumbass," Alex agreed but with a soft smile. Davian was one of his closest friends. Davian had a rough year and it was extending into this one. His friend missed two months of classes, and Alex knew that Davian hadn't made up the work. That was something to think about another day. Another day when Fred wasn't showing him illusions and cluing him in on what she had to deal with.
He asked, "Then why come back? Was it for . . . Caitlin?" Alex did his best to hide the fact that he didn't really remember the girl's name. She'd been pretty forgettable, but apparently not for Fred. But she and Fred had some history.
"And you went alone. You really are a Hydra." That had a smirk with it.
