Sorry for the wait. Finals in school and a family trip have been keeping me one my toes. But here it is.
As always I don't own the Modifyers, they belong to Chris Reccardi and Lynne Naylor. All other rights belong to there respective owners.
Zero looked down, awestruck form the Modi-blimp as HQ shrank the higher they went.
"How was Zack unable to lead Vein back to HQ?" Zero asked as he sat down on the guard ledge.
Xero sat down next to him, not bothering to answer his question, but after a few moments he understood the answer.
The blimp had gone up so high, it was soon above the clouds.
"No way of knowing where we are based" Xero said finally breaking the silence.
For a long moment they bo th sat there in silence watching the early mornings pink clouds slowly drift around them.
"It's beautiful up here" Zero mumbled.
"I know" Xero calmly agreed.
She then turned to him for a moment, unsure if she wanted the answer to her question.
She calmly put her hand on his forearm, "Zero" she said.
"yea" he responded.
"I...I need to ask you something" she asked hesitatly.
"Ask me anything" he said.
"Zero, if I had stayed as Lacey Shadows, if I didn't turn back...what would you have done?"
Zero sat there looking down in silence, unsure how to answer her question. "I don't know" he finally said as he put his hand over his forearm and her hand. "But what I do know is that we don't ever have to worry about that."
Xero smiled at his remark, even if it wasn't a straight answer.
"Lets not let the past ruin our future" Zero said.
Xero looked at him for a moment after he said 'our future'.
"Xero, Zero" they heard Mole from behind them. "Time for the mission brefing" he said.
"Right" Zero said as he got up, offering his hand to Xero.
Xero turned to the clouds, still thinking about our future and taking in the view once again.
Reluctantly she took his hand, with another question instead of an answer.
