If killing’s what you came for, this would be the time.

benny starters: accepting.

“And make it easy for you? Perish the thought.” Her gun clicks into the holster at her side as she stalks forth, studying the felled target before them with something akin to scientific curiosity. She crouches down; a gloved hand tipping the jaw up, checking for a pulse. “No. I’d say this one’s far more useful to us alive.”

‘am i making you uncomfortable?’

      “you might have to try a little harder.”   the tone is familiar but the words lack their usual heat, returned more out of habit than some distinct need to make a point.   he’s not one for second-guessing himself; he’s not above admitting to his mistakes, but the guilt that comes alongside it is usually easily compartmentalized, stowed away for later examination.   here, now, like this: jack staring at him across the desk, expecting an answer, something feels wrong and misshapen, unbalanced in a way things aren’t meant to be.   he doesn’t do this, doesn’t ruminate on bad choices, problems gone wrong.   he analyzes, assesses, takes what he needs from them to learn and adapt and grow.   his mistakes don’t usually haunt him.

      finally he scoffs and hauls himself up out of the chair, dismissed or not.   “cost of doing business,” he concludes from the doorway, biting down hard on the way it grates down deep inside.   innocent lives.   people who had no choice on whether they were in the fight or not.   he did his best, but sometimes even that would never be enough.   “we aren’t here to be comfortable.”   jack knows it better than he does, he’s sure, yet the words still come.   “you’re in the wrong business if you think otherwise.”

I’D WATCH THE RIVERS DANCE.     gradually,  dropship’s ascend whisks ‘way war torn defenders.   despite brandishing wounds of her own;  angela remains observant.   gleaming caduceus abandoned as doctor tends where’s needed.   ethereal glimmer shimmers as prototyped valkyrie compresses wingspan.   approaching;  he,  their valiant commander bestowing bravery which she’d admired.   throat clears and she smiles.          ❝          few minor bumps and bruises;  but,  appears everyone made it out alright.          ❞          pausing,  fingertips relieve palms of her gloves.           ❝          are you okay ?          ❞

          “I step outside for five minutes, and this is what happens?”

[deathwent-blog]

“Are you out of your mind?“

      “yeah, probably,” he spits, words like venom left to scar his tongue.   jack can second guess him all he wants but it’s not going to change the facts: they’re out of options, out of choices, out of time.   gabe will be the first to admit the plan is dubious at best—even he’s not sure the resolution justifies the potential losses—but the last thing the world needs right now is another group of dissidents being prodded into fevered action by some nameless, faceless being who wants to tip the scales in their favour.

      he steps in closer, closes that professional gap.   it’s cheating to appeal to jack’s sense of duty like this, but gabe isn’t above pushing that boundary to get what he needs.   jack knows.   jack understands the choices he makes aren’t choices made lightly.   “i know it’s about as far from ideal as we can get these days, but i need you to trust me.”   low, hushed, a private matter in an already closed room.   “if there was another option i would take it, but this is the only chance we get.   it’s this or we sit back and see how things play out.”
