Get you Gone

[cityship]

The meeting is over, the teams have been assigned, the plans have been laid out. It's time to get weapons.

It's time to wish each other luck, and say goodbyes--with the hope that they're only "good bye for now"s.

It's about to get very hairy from here on out.

"Static..."

There is someone here to say goodbye and good luck.

"You said Eddie--" He cut himself off. "Well, one, if there's a way to save him from that, with the time travel tech of the ship, without messing up the timeline, we're going to. "Two..."

It has to stop.

"Look, that thing, that keeps happening to us? To the Titans? Try not to keep up the trend, okay?" Jaime says, as he suits, up, looking around. He keeps his face unmasked for now.

No dying. No more dying.

He holds out his hand to clasp Static's.

Static grabbed Jaime's hand in a tight grip. "Trends are meant to be broken, man. I'm aiming to shoot that one down as soon as we can. Besides, when you consider just how many Titans we've got here who are supposed to have died, well, we can't really let that happen, can we? I mean, Cassie'd kill us if we did, and that's just more death." He smiled, only half fake. "I'll be fine, man. You keep your eyes peeled, too. And maybe listen to the scarab about force on some of this."

Something he'd learned working in Dakota kept playing through his mind - 'all the bravado in the world can't stop a bullet, but it can help your friends avoid one.'

"Good luck, man." The armor snaps over his face, and Jaime smiles.

It's the last time in a long time Static, or anyone else, is going to see that.
