The Flame of Despair

Runs In The Family

July 25th (10 Years in the future)

Blackouts Team
Cliff and Luna sat at the top of a large pillar while blackout remained in the shadows. They were watching the vex as they gathered.
Luna laid on her stomach as she scoped in towards the Gate Lord, "He doesn't know we're here." She paused for a moment, "Scott what's the plan?"
Scott slowed his beathing, " You and cliff lay cover fire from up there. Make sure you use E.M.Ps to blind the Big Bastard. Don't worry about the little guys. Once they see the fall of the Gate Lord they'll scatter."
Luna smiled, "So the complete opposite from your father's plan. You do realized they successfully completed their mission by doing it Ryan's way, right?"
Scott looked at Luna from a far, "Yeah but they've studied the fight between Ryan's team and the Gate Lord 10 years ago."
Cliff pulled out a rocket launcher that shined bright gold.
Luna pulled him down, "Carful Cliff, that maybe strong but we need stealth right now."
Cliff nodded and laid next to Luna, "Hey Emily, Would you want to go out after we complete our mission?"
Emily grabbed his head to bring it closer. They rested the helmets together. She smiled, "yes, Jack that be so great."
Scott shakes his head, 'God damn it Cayde, how am I suppose to complete a mission fast and easy with all this going on.'
Emily spotted Scott as he shook his head, "Okay let's get the mission going." She gave Jack a gentle hug then continued to aim at the Gate Lord.
Scott smiled, "Alright guys let's bring this bitch down. 3, 2, now!"

July 25th (present)

Ryan's Team
Ryan slowly woke up to the bright lights of this ships interior. He shifted his body around only to see Arya next to him holding his arm in her sleep. Her fingers softly rubbed his skin, 'Holy shit, it wasn't a dream.' He smiled and rested his head on the pillow.
Sense hovered around the ship, 'God damn it Ryan. He must of ran outside or something. His bed was empty.' Sense headed towards the room that Arya slept in.
Ryan turned towards Arya. She still had a hold of his arm, 'Damn she's got a grip on me.' He smiled as he moved her hair from her face, ' She's so beautiful.'
Sense hovered through the open door but was stunned in his tracks when he spotted Ryan next to her. Sense whispered to Ryan, "The hell are you doing? Oh no, you didn't. Tell me you didn't."
Ryan shook his head, "shhhhhh no no no, she was cold so I-"
Sense twitched, "You offered your body to warm her. Dude that's not right."
Ryan gave him a grim look of defeat, "No she wanted me to stay. I was going to hand her blankets."
Sense laughed then exited the room, "Great just what we need, little Ryans running around pretending to save the day."

Blackouts Team

Scott, Luna, and Cliff walked into the Vanguard hall. Cayde turned around to see the team.
Cayde clapped his hands together, "Well hell yeah, it's my favorite team. What do you got for me."
Scott smiled as he rested both hands on the table, " Dawn, bring Cayde the Eye.
A black ghost materialized over his shoulder. Seconds later it dropped the Oversized Vex eye that covered the map of Mercury that laid on Caydes desk.
Cayde jumped in the air then laugh, "That's great, the queen would be pleased."
Jack gave a smile at Emily. She returned the look as they got closer to each over.
Cayde looked at Cliff and Luna, "Hey, whoa hey. Not in my office, take that somewhere else."
Scott laughed, "Now you understand what I've had to deal with in the mission."
Cayde quickly walked up to Scott then gave his a brotherly hug, "Shit, I'm so sorry. I'll make sure I'll do a favor for you. Just name it and it's done."
Scott nodded while giving a evil look, "I'd like to use that favor now."
Cayde nodded, "sure anything for my favorite Hunter." Cayde looked at Scott who still wore the devilish grin, "Oh no, not that one. Sorry bud, but you're dad is doing something right now. If you came along to his mission you would only creep him out."
Scott crossed his arms, "come on, I'm not going to tell him that it's me. Plus if memory serves me right, he's on the mission with my mom. This is the frist night they've actually felt ea h others love."
Cayde jumped back with wide eyes, " I knew that was a damn bad idea making them share a ship. Oh no no no no." Cayde shook his head, "when were you born again?"
Scott fell to the floor holding his stomach laughing. Cayde looked up at Jack and Emily who were touching foreheads. He looked back at Scott then shook his head in frustration, " Why can't I have normal guardians."
