Chapter Four: Fork In The Road
-
Andaluza was alarmed. “Anything in space I can explode? Not sure if my explosive perception is back yet, but I’ll try it.” Andaluza looked out the windows, eyes ablaze a bright blue, like his wings rather than the usual white. The asteroid hovering outside the window smashed into pieces, rocketing down into deep space. “Yeah!”
-
Apollo looked over at Jack. “There’s a reason behind everything, and why I should have gone. Whatever is done is done, and I’m fine that you at least tried. On the bright side, we no longer have to hide ourselves on entry since they know!” Apollo highfived Jack. “You may do stupid things but you’re a genius!”
-
Rose looked at Andaluza shocked, “That is amazing Mr. Wind!”
-
Andaluza smiled and looked down at Rose. “Midzog never installed it on me. I’m just an Ascendii who learned how to do it. Midzog removed my electrokinetic abilities and replaced them with osmium manipulation, not this. I focused all my hate and rage to make the biggest possible fire, but it comes out of my eyes instead. Since then, I’ve learned how to throw it outside and destroy things there. “

Jack dodged his high-five, in no mood.
“Now they know we’re coming. They’ll either move base, or use kids as hostages, and they’ll be armed to the teeth and ready for us. So no, this doesn’t work for us. It just increases the chance that we might all die.” Jack said, pacing.
-
Rose smiled, “That is amazing, to be able to do that, and you did it all by yourself too!”
Rose turned to Jack, “We can handle ourselves Mr. Human, no need to worry so much. We knew we could die at any moment, and e still took the risk, calm down.”
-
Jack looked up at her, for a brief second comforted, coming back to the stark reality.
“Hows your wing, by the way?” He asked, genuinely concerned.

“How’s your wing, by the way?” He asked, genuinely concerned.
-
Rose waved off his concern as she hid her injured wing, “It is perfectly fine, no need to worry.” To be truthful the bullet was stuck in it, but she didn’t tell him that.
-
Jack gave her a doubtful look.
“Now you’re starting to sound like me. Let me see it.” He said, very gently touching it. -
Rose instinctively moved away, her wings raising slightly in defense. “Ah, sorry, about that…”
-
Malice goes over to Rose and looks at the injury “Just take out the bullet and I can heal it right up for you”
-
Rose sighed as she lowered her wings, “Fine…but be careful, its near bone.” Rose opened her wings for Malice, showing her the wound.
-
“Believe it or not, I used to be a medic.” Jack said, looking for the small wound. He dug in the drawers, finding medical supplies. He pulled them out, beginning to work carefully on the bullet.
“Hold on, this’ll sting.” <i>Jack removed the bullet carefully, placing it in the sink. He motioned for Malice to heal her.</i>
-
“Okay~” Malice gently takes out the bullet making sure that it doesn’t cause Rose much pain, once she removes it she heals Rose’s wing completely.
