A/N: prompt: too loud

set in London


Another deep boom of an explosion tore through the air, leaving Delilah's ears ringing. Rubble shook off the buildings, sending both her and Ashley scrambling into the open streets.

As they recovered, Delilah forced out a raspy laugh. "Hell of a time to say goodbye, right?"

Ash shook her head. "Delilah, it's–" Her words were cut off by another explosion, this one much closer.

As soldiers rushed around them and makos rumbled to life, Delilah sighed. This was no place for a conversation, not even to say goodbye, and they were out of time. Knowing they only had moments left before they were needed again, Delilah reached for Ash and pulled her into a deep kiss.
