Dare To Believe

*********************************

Like waking up from a fantasy

In all that's left is you and me

We're invincible in a violet sea

Dare to move, dare to believe

The control panel beeped softly pulling Nate out of his dream of kissing Noel under the most beautiful glowing tree as the stars winked at them from above.

He quickly took stock of his surroundings and realized he actually had fallen asleep while actively trying not to.

It was magical looking outside. The clear sky was covered in millions upon millions of stars flickering from above and being reflected on the surface of water below.

They've been flying for hours. He'd been completely exhausted by the day before events and everything.

Weirdly he could still breathe fine and deciding to take it as well as it could be and making the most out of it he turned to controls. The three moons were illuminating their whole interior as they quietly glided over the huge body of water below.

Upon checking the route he noted they still were days away but rather soon there will be a place to stop and stretch their legs and take a moment for some food break and maintenance check.

He needed to check his stock and see what they actually grabbed as their getaway. Also Neal might enjoy some break and maybe he could convince Noel for a cuddle briefly.

He missed the man and missed his warm cuddles and touches. They needed some closeness to keep moving and motivate their spirits.

And as they were still flying low and out of sight he decided to check for anything. He had his own ways to gather information and now he felt safe to check.

As they had been disguised getting out of the city as far as possible he only focused on getting away unnoticed part. He and Noel kept their Shadow on for as long as possible and while both were strong Noel was just recently getting it back while Nate had it returned way longer before.

He only dropped it as they were far enough from main city and Noel couldn't longer hold his part.

Neal was yet to be reintroduced with his own Shadow and taught how to use it which was plan for later.

So far his intel told him they were safe. There had been a massive explosion but since it happened on the higher levels main crowd fared quite well. They kept the trees safe and while half the building got destroyed - including Neal's last tracker ping - they currently deemed him MIA but not yet dead. So there was that to consider for their next moves.

Also the whole gang got either dead in explosion or arrested. The ones arrested were mainly lesser of them while it was revealed to public Roland and his most closest goons happened to be caught in the explosion and while they were gliding over the forest it's been official that their bodies were recovered and identified by authorities.

All in all it looked smooth sailing for them.

Fleet was also coming out with worries of their missing - which included Noel - but that was yet to officially reviewed.

However unofficial sources speculated on one missing craft and the fact maybe the Fleet dude was running off or was caught in the middle of a scuffle, but so far that was all they got.
