Precipice Chapter III: RE: INTEGRATION
CHAPTER I CHAPTER II _____________________ A few days later, Avery was finally cleared to leave the city hospital. The call from the nurse was brief, simply describing Avery’s condition as “stable enough.” Normally Nikolai would question the nurse on the fidelity of her lack-luster conclusion, but the memory of Avery’s tears silenced any medical concerns he had.

Contrary to the lyrics, that boyfriend of Cherry’s wasn’t so far away. For some time now Flashthunder had served more as her live-in groupie than a commissioned Mini-Flash, but since he was still strictly speaking a senior and happened to be present when the extraction teams arrived, the adult Flashes mostly for the sake of appearances drafted him into some sort of active role. He for his part weakly attempted an excuse about the music having been too loud for him to hear his skirt-alarm, but it was symptomatic that no-one really minded.
