Felix Caelus

The strength goes out of Stratos's hands when he reads that message. Too many awful possibilities coming to mind at once. He's feared for Felix so much over the years but now, really? When he was so certain at last that his brother had a safe home and reason to have a care with the dangers he invoked? When it finally felt like the harshest lessons were behind them?

He wants to demand more answers immediately but typing it all out like this will only slow them down. Stratos jams the PINpoint into his pocket instead and jots a hurried note for his aide to find.

When he materializes in Jim's quarters, he looks more like his younger brother for how pale he is. Momentarily relieved to see Jim there and know he's in the right place- but there's no time for niceties.

"How bad is he?"
