His fist came down, catching Lux in the jaw. Lux flew backward.
Tom's fist connected with his stomach and sent him flying again.
"I'm sorry for everything you two have gone through. I can't help but pity you. You've been used and manipulated, pushed, and prodded to do things you didn't agree with."
Lux lay on the floor. He coughed heavily, feeling nauseous. He could barely see Tom.
Tom kneeled down. "You've made yourself useful. So it's time for you to give up."
Lux couldn't even reply. He just closed his eyes and waited.
Lux's palm crackled with lightning.

A bolt of lightning shot from his hand, slamming into Tom's chest and sending him crashing into the wall.
Lux stumbled to his feet, staring at Tom's body.
Chloe sat there, still tied, watching the ongoing fight. "A little help here?"
Lux walked over to help her out of the chains. "Sorry ."
