The next morning underground was complete and utter chaos. News had spread throughout the community of the possibility that the sky people had come down. President Sterling answered to no-one, only talking to the runners about going above ground. They were set to leave at noon and, if needed, set camp on the ground overnight. The other runners and Rowan were currently preparing to leave, doing their usual double checking of supplies.

"Are you sure we have enough guns?" Rowan's best friend, Faye sighed from beside her. Runs always stressed her out, but she was needed due to her rare genetic adaptation.

"Positive." Rowan nodded, chuckling slightly. Faye ran a hand through her hair, scrunching up her nose. "I know you hate runs but this one should be quick. President Sterling says we're just scoping the area out."

"What about ammo?" Theo questioned, suddenly entering the makeshift locker room.

"Check." Rowan nodded.

"You guys are forgetting that Ro is an inhuman species that never does anything wrong!" Max exclaimed sarcastically. Rowan glared at him while he smirked, sitting on the bed beside her.

"We should get going." Vaughn commanded. He was always the serious one, trying to control the runners' friendly banter and focus on the job at hand. They all nodded, slinging their weapons over their shoulders.

The group of five walked up the steps to the hatch that concealed the foragers from the outside world. Two men in hazmat suits stood waiting for them to reach the top. A crowd formed at the glass door at the bottom of the steps. Somehow, civilians were still amazed that 'kids' could go fight on the outside and still come back at the end of the day. Vaughn nodded at the two men who took that as a sign to open the hatch. The group all hurried to climb out, not wanting to release too much radiation into their home.

"Be safe out there." One of them said from behind their mask. Rowan nodded, smiling as much as she could before climbing onto the ground and closing the hatch.

No matter how many times Ro went on runs, she would never get over the serenity that was Earth. So much greenery surrounded them, fresh air filling her lungs for the first time in what felt like years. It was almost like some sort of fairy tail. Rowan's moment of peace was soon interrupted, however, by a tap on her shoulder. Theo motioned his gun to the rest of their group who were already moving.

"Sorry." Rowan muttered sheepishly.

"It's all right, I'm still not used to it either." He grinned walking alongside the white haired girl. "Too much to take in in the short time were allowed out here."

The two were silent after that, not wanting to draw attention to themselves. Their group continued on until Max held his arm out as a signal for them to stop. Rowan took her katana out of its sheath and crouched down besides Vaughn.
