Wow. Cloud was good. Zack was caught a little off-guard by how quickly the motorcycle took off. He supposed he should have expected it, though. That mako glow was still in Cloud's eyes, exactly like a SOLDIER, and from the looks of him, Cloud had been working out like a SOLDIER, too. How much time had Zack missed?
Zack stopped worrying about it when it became clear he'd have to pay attention to stay on the bike. Cloud definitely drove like a SOLDIER. In fact, he drove better than Zack. The bike was clearly a custom job, suited perfectly to Cloud, and Zack found himself a tiny bit jealous.
By the time they reached a little pizza place on a corner, Zack was thoroughly impressed. He climbed off the bike, shaking his head in wonder. "You have got to tell me where you learned to drive like that, Spike." As much as he'd been glad Cloud hadn't made it into SOLDIER, once he'd found out about all the funny stuff going on the with the program, Zack found himself thinking that Shinra had wasted an opportunity by not letting the other man in. He was clearly a natural.
