Pearl asked Cliff if they should leave behind Karev for this mission, but he let the old man come. It wasn't just because he was the strongest of the three, but because that bit of destiny he carried on him could be a great asset.
Regardless, if Lex's suspicions about the key were correct, then he would definitely have to make a move this time around. Thus, the actual strength of the three became somewhat irrelevant. At most, they would need to focus on keeping themselves safe if things escalated too much.
Lex summoned the coin and looked at it once more, studying it carefully as he did.
This was a random coin he got from within Karev's heritage, but it was suddenly giving off an aura similar to the only Axis Eternum he'd ever known.
