«We Could be Heroes»

So off they went. Gage flying over the buildings with Aero beside him. The stars glimmered overhead, above the layer of city smog, the milky way was visible, along with a whole new dust of stars. He took a deep breath, and glanced down to the girl in his arms. Odd, how the day could be such a roller coaster. Who would have thought such a small child could be the difference? He nuzzled the top of her head.
"No." She said.
"Is that the only word you know?" He chuckled.
"No."
He grinned. "I don't know what I would have done without her." He said to Aero. "The kid, I mean. I'm almost glad you passed out because I was a mess."
Aero eyed Gage, "Gee, thanks," He muttered, heaving a sigh. He nosedived through the air and shot back into the sky beside Gage. Strange, any trace of a former injury was gone, Aero didn't even feel the slightest bit queasy, in fact he felt as though he could fly for miles straight. "So, the angel's glow is the only reason I'm alive, then? I bet you all hoped I would die," He teased.
 
"There it is." He glanced to Aero, and nodding ahead to the building. He shifted Taylor in his arm. The weight distribution was awkward, and his arm burned. Not only from her, but from having carried Tayn. "How you holding up, buddy?"
