Aspel/Ari/Mag/Drake/Rictor/Kiernan - COMPLETE!
"Feel better," Ari said, which felt like an incredibly stupid thing to say, but she could think of nothing else. At least someone was taking care of things, even if she had been unable to.
She watched as the car holding Aspel, Mag, and Rictor rose, flew off in the direction of the city. Turning to Drake, she attempted to speak in her most normal voice. "Take me home, please?" No doubt Kiernan could get back with Lucy's assistance, and everyone else was either a stranger or seemed accounted for. And she really thought she could use a long, hot bath. And maybe a little time alone, if it came to that. She was still dangerously near crying, which was unlike her. At least she could hold it back until they were out of this crowd, and her empty flat would keep her secrets.
Fortunately, Drake seemed amenable to her request, and didn't ask questions about the expression she was certain was on her face despite her best efforts. The flight home was likely to be less enjoyable than the flight here - despite their victory.
