He just wanted to see Kurt again. He wanted to tell him he was sorry for pushing him, for starting the argument that resulted in Blaine fleeing to stay with his older brother. He was so sorry for running away, for leaving him, for wasting what could have been their last weeks together.
He should have spent it with Kurt. They should have been snuggled up in bed together, twisted in the sheets, skin on skin, his forehead pressed against Kurt's, all arms and muscle and heat. He should have spent the night kissing his lips and whispering love into his chest and ears, he should have spent the night smelling and feeling and holding.
But he'd left.
And now, he might never see him again.
Blaine could feel the pain threatening to overtake him again, as salty tears trailed down his bloody face, stinging in the cuts and crevices. He struggled harder, hoping for just one last moment, maybe if he could hold on, they could at least say goodbye.
He turned to his right, trying to see if he could see an escape, a way out. But he was met with the face of another person. Blaine tried to scream, but couldn't.
The person was-
And the face was familiar...
Lily.
But all of a sudden, the building was rocking, and Blaine lost his balance- and as a second wave of dark energy was pushed out and away from the laboratory a block away, he fell.

Lilystood paralyzed as the others on the rooftop started to scream and run. Lily couldn't understand what was happening. She couldn't think, she couldn't move.
Suddenly, smoke filled the air, the cries of the other ten around them mixed with the sound of cracking, crumbling, confusion. Lily felt like the world was falling down around her.
Lilydidn't realize what was happening until it was too late. They were standing directly in the path of a lightning bolt from the storm, and the skyscraper the siblings were standing on gave them no advantage to avoid it.
Lilyhad only one thought before everything went dark with light, if that made any sense to her panicked brain at all.
Good bye.

That night, there were two types of people created the night the Particle Accelerator exploded- survivors, and metas.
If only the world was able to know what was coming. If only, because then, maybe, they could be prepared. Blaine fell off of the building that night, and gained wings to cover the night. Lily awoke with the extraordinary ability to run faster than any man or woman. There was only one exception- Bartholomew Sebastian Henry Allen- who was faster than she would ever be, but came to know the Anderson siblings well. This is the story of Mercury and Nightbird, and how they helped protect Central City from crime and their biggest threat of all- themselves.
