Jacob knows it would have been smarter to keep his mouth shut. He knows there’s very little he can do for the prisoner, or anyone else in the transport. Like the rest of them, he’s bound, bruised, and power-nulled, completely helpless before their captors.
But it’s his duty to put himself at risk for the protection of others, no matter what universe he’s in. So he glares at the faceless helmet looming above him, and steels himself for what seems like an inevitable punishment for speaking up. At least if he’s getting hit, someone else won’t be.
