Her huff of frustration nearly blew his eardrum. He winced.

*Dies laughing*

Rory

Rory stared at the cloth Leo had given him. He wasn’t exactly sure what to do with it, so he folded it into a neat square and set it on his knee. Then he wiped the tears from his face with the back of his sleeve. Reaching out, he picked up the water…[Read more]

@koshka

L-E-O IS THE BEST!!!!

Rory

Rory regained his breath enough to reply, “As soon as we can.” He scrubbed the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand and swallowed hard.

@koshka

GIRL!!! You’re gonna make me cry! ‘

Rory

Rory hung on to Leo, pressing his face against the older boy’s shoulder. For a time he wept, and the relief was frighteningly sweet. At last he forced out in a choked voice, “Leo, I… I want to go back to the church.”

@koshka

Rory

Rory swung his foot against the floor and sniffed hard. “Two years ago. I… I was fourteen.” He rubbed his scared arm again. “I couldn’t go near planes again. I knew they would kill me, but I’d rather die then go up there again. I thought they would find out… but then i was transferred to another base. I don’t know why.” He…[Read more]

@koshka

Poor Rory. I actually feel bad.

Rory

Rory hoked back another sob and sucked in a shuddering breath. “My navigator was injured. The fire got him across the right side of his face, neck, and shoulder. He…. he broke down and started crying, and I held him. He was just a kid, Leo. We all were! It was the first time I had ever seen one…[Read more]

@koshka

Ha. Leo would ask.

Rory

Rory stepped into the break room. “I… I don;t know. Just an engine. An engine that didn’t work…”

He sat down on the couch and stared at his hands. “There were four of us, Leo. It was a new plane they had built. It was like a fighter jet, but a little bigger, and there were two gunners, a pilot, and a…[Read more]

@koshka

Ooo! Mystery!!

Rory

Rory laughed in a choked sort of  way. “Everything. I don’t have good memories, Leo.” He paused. “Well… I guess I wouldn’t want to forget the church… or you… or holding Quincy…” his voice trailed away. He lifted his shoulders several times. Images flickered through his mind. The child under the bed… tiny hands shie…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon @koshka

Kalli is adorable.

@koshka

Leo’s voice reached out, grounding Rory in the present. He followed the older boy out into the hall. His legs felt shaky, and he whipped his sweaty palms against his pants. He tried to shake away the memory but it still clung to him, moving the images in his mind with reality. Rory forced himself to focus. Leo was real, this hall was r…[Read more]

@koshka

Awesome! 😁

@koshka

Leo is amazing.

Hey, Rory. It’s alright. You gave me a bit of a scare there. Thought you’d just got burned. But…”

This just feels so natural! I can literally hear his voice in my head!

Rory

Rory could feel a tremor fighting to shake him, but he forced it to keep still. Leo’s calm voice reached out, pulling him back to the world h…[Read more]

@koshka

Good for you!!!!

@koshka @elishavet-pidyon

LOVE IT!!!!!

@koshka

NO!!!!

Rory

When the fire flared and the torch began it’s whispering hiss, Rory felt himself jerk back. A scream echoed in his mind. They were spinning, falling, going down. He couldn’t get free. Do something! Don’t let us die! Please! The scream of his friend clawed through his mind.

The bar slipped from Rory’s hands and screeched…[Read more]

@koshka

Rory

Rory nodded and picked up his pace a little. He forced his knee to bend as he walked, keeping himself steady though tears burned his eyes, causing them to blur. He took in a slow breath. He would be fine. He had hidden injuries before. He’d had to. When weapons broke…….

Rory shook the nightmarish thoughts away.

@koshka

I loved Leo talking down to them too!

I reread the whole fight. It’s so funny. 😂

@koshka

Rory walked slowly beside Leo. He was relieved that he was allowed to question, but he was also scared to do so. Things were so muddled. Rory wanted somewhere to go that made sense. That was safe.

He wanted to go back to the church.

For a moment he almost asked Leo, but he held back. Instead, he asked, “Where now?”

So, it’s looking like we will be planning for the 19th. Sorry if you can’t make it on that day–I know it’s Good Friday, but that’s the date that the majority of y’all…[Read more]

@koshka

Ahhh!! Leo’s first encounter with Agents!!! 😝

Agents

Instead of being met by a wild rush, all the young Agent saw was a janitor. The fellow turned, and 225 saw that he could only be a year or two older then himself. The janitor looked surprised, but 225 was suspicious. Something wasn’t right.
The young Agent stepped into the closet, l…

@koshka

Oh my word! I just realized that Leo and Rory started their relationship working on a team! (fixing lightbulbs) and now they’ve made full circle!

Their relationship could be a book!

This is awesome!

Aaaannnndddd Rory has come a long way. He did not trust Leo to begin with.

Leo looked at Rory a moment, and Rory fought…
