Within the next week she was able to walk easily. It had been hard at first, the combination of her injured leg and being bed-ridden for the past month didn't help, of course. But she kept trying, and eventually walking and even running became natural again, even if she was still a little slow.
Ghoul was the happiest he'd been in a long time. While Jet, Kobra, Pony, and sometimes Party, who was still getting used to being a Killjoy again went off Vend-A-Hacking he got to spend time with Diamond as she healed. Now more than ever he thought of her as family.
Kobra had taken to helping Party move on with his life. He was always with his brother, they had become inseparable. Party depended on Kobra too, clung to him like a security blanket. Diamond thought it was quite cute, their brotherly love.
Slowly, but surely, they fell into a pattern of normalcy. A daily routine.
They would have savored the peace more, had they known what was coming.
Party Poison woke up, tears streaming down his face. Sunlight leaked through the window above him, making him squint. It was the first time his dreams had been so vivid.
Kobra sat up in his mattress on the floor next to his brother. He rubbed his eyes and looked worriedly at Party.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Party thought of his dream. The bombs falling. The heat of the flames. The deafening pitch of the screams as he lost his wife and daughter in the crowd, took cover soon after. The end of the world as he knew it.
Without even sitting up or wiping his eyes, Party nodded.
