"York will not survive."...Without medical attention. All is said and done. It is quiet again. Tex has left, chasing after Omega. Wyoming has woken ( Read more... ) -
Recycle
It takes one small thing to change the flow of time. Where one person might fall, if they were a moment slower, they might otherwise be fine. There have been examples of this throughout the multiverse: a boy getting off a plane before it explodes. A woman blocking traffic before a horrible accident happens. A man missing his flight that later ( Read more... ) -

Call Signs
It'd been a while since any of the old crew had gotten in contact. Kentucky had called a few days earlier, asking about meeting up again. (He was a father now, York remembered. He'd met them once shortly before he had wound up in the Nexus. Kentucky had a daughter. Cute little kid with some of her daddy's endurance.) Missouri had dropped a line and ( Read more... ) -

Subconcious
Then a faint green light. He knows the source and runs towards it, smiling. It’s a man standing there, back towards him. He smiles wider and reaches out a hand. He’s about to call when the man turns around. The face is wrong. It’s not him-!
The darkness and the man are gone. Now it’s the base. Late afternoon sunlight slants in through the skylight ( Read more... ) -
Reach For the Surface
It's been a cycle, the same dreams over and over again. He dreams of home. Of the Nexus. Of training and so many different places he's seen in his life. Once he dreamed of a place with grass and trees, and a smiling woman who called him by his real name. He doesn't know why. But he dreams on anyway.

The Unconcious Mind
“Yeah. You never do.”
One hand slips out from under him, and he topples over the edge of the wall. He catches a glimpse of Reggie and Allison’s faces before they suddenly rocket up out of his view. The sky slips out of reach, and there’s just pitch black around him.
It’s a dream.
It repeats again.
And all the while, York sleeps on.

Frostbitten (scene)
"I HATE SIDEWINDER!!!"
For the umpteenth time since waking up, York screams at the sky and mentally pictures himself strangling the jerk who apparently stole his armor, his stuff, and his face. It had been one rude awakening, hands-down. How often do you expect to wake up face-down in a snowbank without your armor? Not often, in York's case.
And ( Read more... )
