Nova stared at Anthony oddly. "What? I was just going to take him
around back... If he's at the top of a building it could fall
over..." She wraps Ace's arm over her shoulder and puts her arm
around his waist and supports him.
Aria saw Anthony do this, and she chased him, grabbing at his
shirt. "You Jerk!" She yelled at him, speeding up, managing to grab
his shirt edge. She pulled him back and put him in a headlock
angrily.
”Hello There! I am Alter Ego, your
technological guide!"
Nova walked up to Anthony and took Ace back. "Why did you just take
him from me? That was rude... Do you think I can't carry him or
something?" She carries him off and lays him on an old couch in the
next building.
Aria dropped Anthony and let him fall to the ground. She smirked at
him before following Nova into the building. She looked back at
Anthony and glared at him.
”Hello There! I am Alter Ego, your
technological guide!"
Aria turned and nodded, wondering why she hadn't heard of it
either. She put her hands in her pockets, and looked at the ground.
She thought of times when no one would have ever needed to go into
safe rooms and no one was dying or dead from starvation and the
apocalypse. She sighed and felt tears, but wiped them away with the
back of her hand.
”Hello There! I am Alter Ego, your
technological guide!"
Aria looked up at Nova and smiled, but it looked more like a
grimace. "Oh, yeah I'm fine, totally fine." she said, looking away,
trying to think of a way to change the subject.
”Hello There! I am Alter Ego, your
technological guide!"
Nova's eyes narrow. "You owe me nothing. I have lived in this Hell
of a world just fine without you." She turns to Aria. "I'm
leaving... If you want to tag along you may..." She gives Anthony a
glare as she heads out of the building, pistol drawn.
Aria glance at Anthony her eyes say a quick I'm sorry, and she
follows Nova. She pulls out her bow, and nocks an arrow, looking
around for anyone too menacing.
”Hello There! I am Alter Ego, your
technological guide!"
10 minutes later Anthony arrived at his base. `I should have done
more. I could have done more. I will do more.` Anthony thought
hopping into his jeep and driving off.
Aria smiles back at Nova and aims at a different rat, shooting it
in the head. She grabs her arrow and re-nocks it, aiming for
another rat. She hits this one in the side, then jumps when she
hears a car engine. She turns and sees it. "What the-" she says,
her eyes widening.
”Hello There! I am Alter Ego, your
technological guide!"
