When we moved past the darkness, we were standing in the midst of the shattered Boardwalk.  We half-slid and half-climbed down the ruined area to the beach, and walked over to the water’s edge.

How’s the situation around you looking? Fire everywhere?

From our new vantage point, we could see what Burnscar had done.

My territory was on fire.

Fire everywhere.

Grue’s shadows still covered the ground levels of the area, but I could make out the tops of the taller buildings.  Not every building burned, but there were enough.  Rain fell around us, but it wouldn’t matter against a blaze like that.

Yeeah. Rain doesn’t help if the fire is too big to smother.

In the gloom, the plumes of smoke that were as thick around as any building appeared black against the light gray backdrop of gray rainclouds.

Considering the state of Brockton Bay these days, you know what this is?
