Second Chances

[Nox]

And there was the pity. The loss of something she could only barely imagine losing. He never thought about what it would be like to go back to normal -- to be normal. "It is what it is." Nox shrugged off the apology, it's not like she did it. Even Sage didn't say he was sorry and he did do it. He removed the Horde -- while totally unintentional and not his fault, he never apologized for it.

And Nox wasn't angry at him. Or even the whole thing. He was nothing really. Marta said he smelled numb. He was numb. The whole world was nothing now. It was empty, devoid of all color. Sure it was still beautiful, he hadn't lost his sight, but he'd lost the thing that made the world turn. His everything, his all. That light in the darkness. And now it was gone.

But Emily's offer was interrupted by a text from Dorian. He sighed. "I could use all the help I could get. I don't need power, but help I will take. Have him meet me outside of Domovoi precinct. We'll have to track him, he escaped the uniformed officers custody a few minutes ago." Nox stood up and pulled on his puffy jacket. At least this time he didn't have Lily with him.

Ana grabbed his hand before he was out of reach and he looked down at her small sitting form. "Bring the whole family by this weekend, we'll do dinner. You and Christian can cook and I'll help with the children. It's been a while since you've brought any by."

Nox nodded. "Yes, ma'am." Seemed he had dinner with Ana and Christian this weekend, "Sunday is best." He said as he stepped away from the table. "Sky pull up the cameras outside Domovoi and send Emily the coordinates of the precinct so she can send them to her husband."

In his ear he heard. "Sure thing. I have also pulled Jared Vanders profile if you wish to read it."

"I'm good. He's Legion Premiere, he worked with Jay, I don't need to know more."
