    Summary

    “It’s not a real kid, Chase.”

    Chase is technically underage, he’s a year away from being able to drink but the bartender didn’t bother to check his ID. Chase has always looked a little older than he was, it works in his favor now.

    Nobody at a hero bar like this would assume he was so young.

    “How the fuck do you think that?” Chase asks, spits. His hands still shake with the memory of it. The beer in his hand shakes with the tremors of his hands. “How the fuck do you do it?”

    Mechaman sighs, deep, disappointed. He leans back, taking his whiskey with him.

    The rest of the Brave Brigade was downstairs, drinking in victory, dancing with the other heroes, celebrating.

    “It’s the Astral Pulse.”

    He returns to the other Jayce in the fissure, the Jayce who is so stubbornly human and alive, and thinks, Potential.

    Viktor forces the mask away. Not potential. A person. A friend. My – partner.

    Yours, the Machine Herald mocks.

    Summary

    So used is Sarmenti's hand to the pliability of string that it hesitates. The knob will turn at his touch, yes, but it will not yield. He cannot twist its form into something else—when he opens this door, he cannot change the tale that will unfold before him. Baldwin will have many a legend written in his honor, not half of which will be penned by Sarmenti… the prospect of seeing such a man as his king ailing—vulnerable—

    “Enter,” comes a solemn voice.

    Baldwin is dying. No amount of love can change that.
