Mireya glanced once more at the canyon floor, taking in Kregg, Virella, and the seven unnamed members scattered between the canyon walls.
"You keep saying Apollo wouldn't have done this," Rex said. "You're right..."
"Apollo also wouldn't have come into this canyon alone and gotten ten Legion members to release three captives," Rex laughed. "You want to hold the comparison all the way through or only the parts that work for your argument."
"He would have found another way," Mireya said, but it was quieter than the previous statements and had less behind it.
"Tell me what the other way was," Rex said. "Specifically."
"You've had five minutes, and you're smart."
"Tell me the sequence of events that gets Apollo and Veylor out of this canyon alive without producing this canyon floor."
Mireya opened her mouth and then didn't say anything.
Rex waited.
"I don't know..." She said, "That doesn't mean it didn't exist."
