Taking flight

[farfrom_tree]

After that scare of thinking Nura was in the pods when she'd actually been running mazes for GLaDoS, Devlin was glad to have some time to spend with his surrogate mom/grandmother/whatever.

Devlin, clingy?

...Yeah, that pretty much cut to the heart of it.

"So, anything you wanted to do?" he asked. "Or any place we're going?"

Nura was flying high in the City, holding Devlin in her arms. "You'll see, kiddo," she reached to ruffle his hair. "It's a surprise."

"Okay," Devlin agreed, taking in the view. The City looked amazing from this height, and he was able to pick out some of the famous landmarks on Earth and other worlds, all right next to each other. One of these days, he'd have to explore more of this place, find out what was beyond the borders of what they'd already seen.

They were nearing the second tallest building in the City. It had a flat rooftop area, with what looked like the remains of a dead roof garden. Once she was high above the building, she descended, landing on on the roof so softly that there was barely any noise but the winds from up above. "Here we are." She set Devlin down on his feet. "Thank you for flying Air Legion. Please proceed to the terminal in an orderly fashion."

Devlin grinned and quickly looked around the roof. It was a little gloomy with the dead plants, but the view more than made up for it. Everything in the City was below them, and it felt like being on top of the world.

"So what's the surprise?" he asked.
