Table: #2
Prompt: 032 Legend
Fandom: City of Heroes
Characters: Amber, Terecito, Takuya, Ricky
Wordcount: 217
Notes: Oh, I know I fail at wordcount, but I couldn't cut this one, so it is more a ficlet than a drabble. Also, this takes place after Roadtrip.
“All I’m saying,” Amber’s tone was gentle and polite, “is that it’s basically a straight shot between Niagara and Paragon, so how can we be lost?”
It was late Sunday evening and they were due back to the base before morning. Flexing her hands on the steering wheel, Amber glanced in the rearview mirror at the two young men in the back seat who were intently reading a map by flash light.
“And all I’m saying,” Ricky replied from the passenger’s seat, “is that I don’t remember going through Osewego on the way there. Why didn’t we just take the same route back?”
“I thought it would be prettier to drive along Lake Ontario for as long as we could.”
“It’s dark out, we can’t even see the lake!”
“Amber wait,” Terecito was studying the map so closely his nose was only inches from it. “There might be a road coming up in a few miles that will get us back to the highway…”
Takuya glanced at the map’s legend. “Sorry no, Terecito. I think that is a rail line…?”
“Oh.”
Ricky looked at Amber expectantly. “Admit we’re lost, hon?”
She pursed her lips for a moment, and then suddenly smiled with a merry little laugh. “We’re not lost,” she twinkled. “We’re on an adventure!”
