Chapter Two: Black as Night

[Solace]

Paige was inches away from killing Barry, the guy was just plain annoying and the petite blond was not in a mood to be dealing with his arrogance at that moment. “Speedy, ah wouldn’t do that if ah was yuh.” Paige yelled after the blur that she knew as the speedster, he was just looking to have a good long talking to from Victoria or Hank…or both. “Toria, ah’m about as pissed off as yuh are about bein’ lied t’. Ah mean after all ah had t’ watch as a version of mah brother died in my arms….thinkin’ that he might have been the last familiar face ah’d ever see. Then low and behold ah’m informed that Jono isn’t dead and mah family in mah reality had spent months searching for me…in short ah’m pissed as hell and the Timebroker better hope ah never met up with him again. But like Tessa said, yuh have to move on and be happy in the fact that it was a lie and that those we love are still alive and kickin’.”

Paige didn’t allow her mind to drift to thought of home, knowing that it would in fact just anger her more over the lie they’d been told. But as she followed Tessa and Victoria up the stairs Paige glanced over her shoulder at the newbies and almost felt envious of them that they weren’t starting out this little mission thinking that their worlds had blown up…no they had the pleasure of knowing that they could go back whenever they liked. If only the veterans of this group had given that same Luxury they might not have become so jaded about certain things.
