The walk from the gate into the compound was silent and incredibly awkward. Fred, as requested, drove the car around, careful to avoid the potholes and debris. Smiling to his son in the backseat, he gave a loving wink “We’re here Benny! You can run soon! And hopefully we can have beds!” He laughed, not sure if this was true or not.
Skye walked past the entry, through the command center, and into the makeshift lobby. “Stumpy.” She wanted to laugh, but she was still too angry to give and outward reaction. “I’m assuming Ben is your kid? I wouldn’t know since I’ve heard nothing from you for 15 years.” She spoke sternly as she continued to lead Relina inside “Lobby, Kitchen, gym, and...” she lead her through a thin hallway complete with steel doors with small glass windows on the middle “put your bags in here. We’re unfortunate enough to have plenty of space. The last battle took half our team. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to clean out their stuff.” She huffed before slowly opening the door.
As the knob turned, the loud squeal of the steel matched against the gears of the door rang into the hallway.
