Mal's POV

EJ quickly drives us back to the hotel. We didn't talk about anything til we got in our room, where it was safe, and EJ warped them all back into their regular clothes.

"You guys, ZACH KNOWS WHAT WE'RE DOING?" Ricky shouts. "HE KNOWS WHERE WE ARE? WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR? HE LITERALLY HAS EYES EVERYWHERE! WHAT DO WE DO?"

"Well first, we calm down, Curls," I tell him. "We don't need the whole hotel knowing."

"EJ, he's right! Zach knows where we are! How are you not freaking out?" Nini ask me.

"Have you all forgotten I'm infected? Any strong emotions and I could literally destroy this hotel. But I'm very worried too, but everything's gonna be okay. I promise."

"How?" Gina asks. "They are brothers everywhere. We'll never escape them."

"We will. Once we find everything we need, Lily can cure me, then we'll get every superhero we can find and take down the Brotherhood of Fear once and for all."

"EJ's right" I speak up. "We just have to be fast. No distractions and we can be back before Spring Break is over."

"Exactly, so, Ricky, what else do we need?"

Ricky digs in the back with every ingredient and takes out the list. "A strand of your hair, Lightning in a bottle, Dragon Skin, Rose Petals, your blood, Pearl Dust in the Crystal Cove Sea Cave, and the Hope Potion in LA."

"Okay, I can give Lily my blood and a strand of hair when we get me. We can find Rose Petals anywhere..."

"And I can take care of the lightning right now" Nini goes over to the bag and takes out the round-bottom flask. She forms a ball of Lightning in her hand and pushes it into the flask, lighting up a bright blue.

"We'll make a trip to LA later, where are we gonna get some Dragon Skin?" EJ asks. Now's definitely the time to tell them. "I know somewhere."

"Yes! Mal is a dragon, we'll just skin him! Can I do it?" Ricky burst out. Um, that's not where I was going with this. "No, Ricky. I've been doing my own research about something."

"What?" Nini asks.

"I think I finally tracked down my brother."

"Wait, what?" Ricky shoots up.

"I've been tracking him down since Christmas break and I finally found him here in Denver. He actually lives in an apartment 120 miles from here which is only 2 hours away. Maybe if I can explain everything, he'll understand why we left him in the first place. Can you guys help me?"
