[he squeezes his eye shut and sets his head against hers, then suddenly gets an idea. He gasps, then folds his wings tighter around them, finally, after a moment of hesitation, bringing his bloodstained hand up and wrapping it around PM's shoulders. He doesn't impale her on more of those horrible things, like he'd feared he might, but only smears some gore on her already-ruined uniform]
Hold tightly to me, PM. I am going to t-try to take us somewhere safe.
[he takes one more deep breath, clinging tightly to her, then there's a blinding flash of green light and crackling energy... and when PM dares to open her eyes, she'll find them still lying on checkered ground, but it's unbroken and there is no sign of fire or blood. Above them is an inky blue sky full of Earth's shining stars, and just in front of them, the only visible structure, is a tall tower with a spherical room at the top. A sign at the end of the path leading up to the tower says "MAYOR'S HOUSE" in familiar labored handwriting.]
