In reply to: Orbital of the Council 's message, "Amazing Continued" on 19:20:26 08/14/01 Tue

Alex’s mind was racing.. Council Operatives. Backstabbing. Deceit. Hellish futures. It was almost overwhelming in a way. Alex, however, thought he could handle it. He had dealt with worse since his younger days. He would accept it. He would join the Council, and fight their fight as if it were his own. He supposed, in a way, that it was his fight now. And a much worthier one, at that.

That did not make his mind rest any easier on how much of his past he had left out to Orbital, but he supposed they would find out sooner or later, anyway. Sooner, more than likely.

A large bat, flying through a wall of flame.

***

A large white owl and a smaller falcon, gliding above a tall, metallic building.

Yes, I’m fine. It’s just a…gift of mine.

Orbital looked confused. A gift? What do you mean?

Alex shook his head, and stepped away. Never mind it. Let’s just say that there’s more to me than meets the eye. Alex extended his hand again, and took Orbital’s hand up again. I will join you, Orbital. I will help you fight.

Orbital smiled, still confused. Welcome to the fold, Alex. Now, let’s get back to the Council building, and get you some gadgets.

And the two made their way to the exit of the Park…
