This is just a little drabble series about wings and freedom. The title is taken from Cissnei's quote 'Wings symbolise freedom for those who have none.' And seeing as three characters gain wings I just decided to write little drabbles to the effect of how everyone learnt about wings and freedom.
Warning: Spoilers for Crisis Core (do I even have to put this here anymore?)
Disclaimer: I do not own the Final Fantasy VII compilation - although I would like to, very much.
When Cissnei had let Zack go, she knew that this would be the beginning of the end. That after this, nothing would be the same. But she let him go anyway, sure that if she handed him and little blond boy back to Hojo then things would only be worse. Even Tseng felt regret for what he had done and, Cissnei knew, Tseng didn't regret often. She thought back to the days, months, years ago when she'd first seen Zack, a hyperactive SOLDIER, now... Now he was mature. Responsibility had settled on his shoulders like a mantle and it was changing him.
Cissnei kind of mourned the loss of the hyperactive Zack.
A few weeks later, Cissnei was told that Zack had been killed by Hojo's men and that the blond had been left for dead.
She hoped that wherever he was, he had wings.
And that was Cissnei - she got to go first seeing as it was her quote.
