Re: Charles & Betsy
NO. IN STAGES THEN. YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS ALONE.
Charles extended his mind, could feel each individual life sparking, anger and hatred and rage and hunger swirling around Mount Weather, overlaying and mixing with the brighter lights, his comrades, his friends. He felt it when Raven fell, and shut off his link to her completely.
He hesitated and then, in an instant, he'd extinguished a life, as easy as licking one's fingers and pinching out the flame of a candle. One life saved, one life taken. He would deal with this later, the enormity of what he had willingly undertaken in order to make sure everyone who could survive now, did.
