Phillip and Mina got into a very interesting conversation about how to stop pollution in the ocean. Mina was going to whip that boy into a weapon for her own use, I could tell. Thankfully she was on the side of good and would make him do things like end world hunger or save all the kittens.
Echo and Asher headed off to go hike in the snow. They were outdoorsy, and while I wasn’t much of a nature girl, I could appreciate the beauty of simply being one with the woods.
So then it was just AJ, Charles, and me. Charles left for the training facility below, intent on using his new strength as much as he could.
“Wanna come play in the command center with me?” AJ asked awkwardly, and I grinned.
“Of course.”
AJ was a nice boy. Really smart, but what I think I loved about him most was his ability to not let the world get him down. Even when things were going wrong left and right, he stayed positive.
“I control what I can and let go of what I can’t. I learned that a long time ago,” he said, and then we became the eyes of the city for a while, watching over Seahill like a protective mother waiting to step in when needed. Together.
