Vance nodded at her back. He wasn't sure if he could have torn himself away from her, if they were to switch places. She was brave. Braver than she believed herself to be.
He clenched his fists and closed his eyes. At once, the veins in his arms glowed flaxen.
Seri immediately knelt to his side, "No, general! You can't do that, you'll-" he stopped himself. "Please rest, save your energy."
But Vance wasn't listening. All his concentration put into what he was doing. The thunder outside churned from a dull grumble into a roar. Clouds roiled and turned black, streaks of gold tore across the sky.
Then the warrior's fingers unfurled as his spirit left him. The lightning was there for her. If only she had the heart to unleash it.
Chase went translucent the moment the girl uttered the scientist's name. He should have known, or at least been more suspicious. How else would she have gotten that whistle that made his hair stand on end? Only when she had finished, did his color come back. His face was stony. His eyes held a ferocity, the kind that children never see. "Who was the girl?"
For once, No-name didn't have an answer. She glanced at the hollow-eyed worker, one hand on the door. Then her eyes wandered to Aero and something rose in her throat. Something she hadn't allowed herself to feel for a long time. That how they thought of her? As a villain? She sighed. In her child form, they had loved her; even saved her life.
Her voice quivered, "They do it to us, too, you know."
Ash looked at the bony woman with a glare so queer, so uncertain, it could've set ablaze then immediately frozen anything if she'd possessed pyrokinesis.She glanced at the closest bubble, which encased a dragon-girl, and she was awake. Her mouth twitched. That wasn't good. Once they woke up, the hypersleep device couldn't keep up with their nutritional needs. She would be dead in three days if something didn't happen.
No-name shoved the thought aside and moved into the building. Time for coffee and doughnuts.
The worker's quarters had exactly six bunks, two bath, and a four-burner stove. Not a speck of dust anywhere. Every belonging these people had sat in their respectively labeled boxes. One man sat on his bed, not on his phone, not reading or taking his shoes off. Just sitting there, staring at the tiles, breathing.Ash looked at the bony woman with a glare so queer, so uncertain, it could've set ablaze then immediately frozen anything if she'd possessed pyrokinesis.
No-Name was agitated by the sight of these hypersleep domes.
No, she had a fear of them.
Ash gulped. The only woman who had any clue of where she was taking them, or what they were about to become involved in- whether if a single word of the vows and reasonings they'd been given was even genuine- had become mollified by this sight.
Yup. Those donuts would be really useful right about now...
Tayn had hesitated before she climbed back out, she felt that she really couldn't just leave him there. She heard Seri and the Thunder roaring outside. She knew what he was doing he was giving everything he had left to help his people. She held back her tears and stepped forward. She couldn't look back or she would never leave. She climbed back out the way they had come, and made her way to the truck, she climbed in and locked the doors.
( @Laodicia I can't exactly respond to your post... )
I was waiting for a few more people to come on. but it doesn't look like that's happening tonight.)Mikki was startled at the look in his eyes. "Her name was Leona." She replied.Chase went translucent the moment the girl uttered the scientist's name. He should have known, or at least been more suspicious.
