The rebellion's new home: Harper Mills Apartments

**rebecca johanson**

Rebbeca decides she needs to spread her wings and flys into the air after a moment she lands back down looking across the skyline.

**Ace Carpenter**

I climb up the building easily. Oddly enough, it's not a mutant power, just a skill I've picked up.

**rebecca johanson**

Rebbeca hears him and sits her wings folded behind her as she lookes across the tops of the biuldings.

"we lost good men in the fight" she says out the blue.

**Ace Carpenter**

I nod. "I haven't forgotten. I said that when we were free, I'd do something to honor them. And I will. As soon as I figure out how to do it. They were some of the best men I've ever known. They deserve the best."

**rebecca johanson**

Rebbeca looked at him " my brother was one of them " she said walking away from him her back now to him her head hung down.

**Ace Carpenter**

I hang my head. "I know. Warren was our best scout."

**rebecca johanson**

Rebbeca turned to face him "he was your best scout, but my only brother" she said

**Ace Carpenter**

I stand, looking her in the eye. "What do you want me to do? I can't bring him back! I would trade anything, even my own life, to get back the fallen soldiers, but I can't!"

**rebecca johanson**

Deep in her heart she knew what she wanted him to do but some how she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

She wanted to say to him "hold me " but she couldn't and so just turned away.

**Ace Carpenter**

Her thoughts surprise me. "Is that what you want? From me?"

**rebecca johanson**

rebbeca turns to look at him realising he had read her thoughts flying into the ari she hovered " I..I "she took a deep breath " I love you ,"she said down to him "why do you think i stayed even when my brother died" she said and landed on a higher roof top her back to him.

**Ace Carpenter**

I'm dumbstruck. I had no idea! Some psychic I am! I just stand there, my mind trying to wrap around this new development.

**rebecca johanson**

"You were so biusy with the rebellion, you never noticed me, allways by your side, following your orders never questioning. "she said softly as she wrapped her wings around her

**Ace Carpenter**

I... I didn't? It was true, I hadn't given this type of thing much thought, as there was always a new battle to plan, but never once? No. I had noticed her. I remember. When we first met. "No. I noticed you. You're an angel. How could I not?"

**rebecca johanson**

rebbecca opened her wings and turned to look at him "that was my brothers name " she said softly, then gently she flew down to stand in front of him.
