When: Monday, July 18, late afternoon
Where: a conveniently deserted alley somewhere in Manhattan
What: Zack is confused and needs explanations.
Rating: TBD, probably some reference to recent intense violence
Status: Open, in progress
The truth was, it was pretty easy to confuse Zack. He was a fairly straightforward man, and while he was far from unintelligent, he didn't have much of a mind for intrigue or mystery. The trait came with being the sort of person who liked to give others the benefit of the doubt. Zack Fair, at the end of the day, wanted to believe in people. He wanted to believe in the intrinsic goodness of his fellow human beings.
So, really, it shouldn't have been a surprise that Zack was very confused at the moment. He could have sworn he'd just been in the middle of the worst fight of his life (which was saying something, considering he'd fought Sephiroth), and now he was standing in the middle of a deserted alley with no one else in sight.
"Huh. Weird."
Zack raised his free hand to check for head injuries, just in case, although if he were hallucinating, he probably wouldn't hallucinate the injury responsible in the first place. Nope. No headwounds. His arm hurt, though. He glanced down and scowled as he realized that he'd caught a bullet with it. That was the problem with SOLDIER enhancements. You didn't always realize you were hurt until well after the fact.
Still, his biggest worry wasn't how many bullet holes he might be sporting this time, or if everything around him was real or a figment of his imagination. His biggest worry was Cloud--specifically, where Cloud had gotten to. The kid hadn't been in any shape to go anywhere on his own when Zack had tucked him behind the shelter of some boulders, so where was he now?
