Hobbes get in HERE! he shouted, his voice climbing as he spoke.

His palms were sweaty and he could feel his speeding heart rate pulsing the in back of his head. He hovered precariously over the object of his attention.

Don't do anything stupid Fawkes! his partner shouted in return as he burst through the doorway.

Darien tore his attention away from the construction of wires to see his partner running towards him with relief.

Can you deal with this?!? he asked, his voice higher than intended, god did he sound panicked.

Darien jerked his hand toward the oh-so-unproverbial ticking time-bomb next to him.

Just calm down partner, we'll take care of this, Bobby said less than convincingly, as he knelt down in one knee next to his friend.

Finally he turned his full attention to infernal machine, assessing the wires leading the blue crystalline timer. To wires, one red, one blue. This timer was home-made, not like anything he'd ever seen, how could he choose?

0:50

Jesus, fifty seconds what the hell was he supposed to do?

Um, Hobbes, Fawkes' voice interrupted his thoughts, what's holding up the not-blowing-up train? You just pull the wire and we're out of here. I'm REALLY ready for the latter.

0:40

Get out of here Fawkes, Bobby said flatly.

Bobby? I'm not leavin' till that bombs off, or we're both micro dust, so let's just yank a wire and be done with it.

I'm serious here Darien, I don't know if I can diffuse this thing. The best we could do is a flip of the coin, I want you outta here NOW.

0:30

Darien stated simply, as he dug in his pocket and pulled out a quarter.

Reaching for Hobbes' hand he pressed it into his palm.

Bobby began, shocked at his partner's consent.

Shut up and flip the coin, Darien cut his partner off.

0:20

Bobby rubbed the metal object in his hand before speaking, You call it.



He tossed the coin into the air, and together they watched it somersault to the ground as the timer ran even further down.

Red is tails.

0:10

Heads.

Guess that does it, Hobbes voiced on a final note as he reached for the blue wire.

0:05

His hand closed around plastic coated thread of fate.

0:04

I love you, man, Bobby utter starring Fawkes straight in the face.

0:03

Consider it mutual, Darien replied plainly a slight smile visible on his face.

0:02

He pulled out the wire.
