>>5764900You linger in Pepper’s lap for a little while longer–though the slashers roaming the labs are still a threat, you’ve earned this much. And it might just be the last chance you get…
“... Diesel?”
Yea, you ask as you turn your dreamy gaze towards the redhead’s face, what’s up?
The girl opens her mouth to give another speech, but she catches herself.
“... Thank you, Diesel. Just… <span class="mu-i">thanks.</span>”
You don’t need to ask what she’s talking about. Still not sure if you made the right choice or not, you settle for a noncommittal ‘<span class="mu-i">eh</span>’ and earn a flick on the forehead for your troubles! <span class="mu-i">OW!</span> I’m still sore here!
“Hate to ruin the moment,” Grunts Chuck as he offers you a hand, “But we’ve still got one more headache to deal with…”
He’s right, of course. Taking his offer of help, you let the old man pull you to your feet as you try not to focus on the cradle of bloody foam caking the ground around you… maybe passing out was a mercy.
Taking a deep breath, a thought occurs to you: the <span class="mu-i">others!</span>
“We were gonna call ‘em for ya’ on your ear thingie,” Raj explains as he prods the <span class="mu-s">EARPIECE</span> sitting snug next to your skull, “But we figured you should do the honors!”
“There’s a good chance Rivka’s gonna listen in,” Pepper explains as she smoothes out her plaid skirt and rises to her feet, “But she probably knows you and Raj are cured already…”
“So whaddaya’ think, kid?” Asks Chuck as he cocks his head to the side, “You wanna tell ‘em now?”
