Slumping around wishing he'd stayed stuck in that trip or never gone to the Director's office? Craving the power of an evil god? Knowing everyone hates him? Knowing he would never, ever be worth anything to anyone? "Right. Guess I should." Everything here was a reminder right now. Even training. Even the city.

His own smile was very weak in comparison. "Any idea where they're sending you?" Fighting would be everywhere, after all. « Last Edit: Mar 7, 2016 11:34:01 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

More silence. Talking with Mike was always tricky. He wanted to open up but didn't, and often chats with his roommate turned into half-hearted grunts at each other.

Only so much I can promise." He wasn't going to lay down and die in front of the first Imperial soldier he saw, but at least he'd have his rest if something happened. No more power, sure, no more helping people, no more chance - however faint - anything would ever get better, but... no more worrying, no more pain, no more sadness. No more failure. Everyone goes into the dark eventually, anyway. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Believe in him? People who do that just get hurt. "I'll try not to let you down," he says, but his usual determination isn't in there.
