“Cool.”
I returned to the stove and started preparing breakfasts. I served Brian first, then prepared some toast and bacon for Bitch and some scrambled egg for Lisa. It was almost a relief, having something concrete to do, a way to help, when I didn’t know how to act around Brian.
Very understandable. Keeps you from just standing around awkwardly.
By the time I had Bitch and Lisa served, the Travelers had been roused by the smell of breakfast.
This chapter can just stay true to the synopsis of “the Undersiders and Travelers have a nice breakfast together” until the end. I like this. It’s low-key in a good, relaxing way.
Of course it’s the calm before the storm – that almost goes without saying – but it’s a very nice calm.
I offered them some breakfast, and Ballistic took over at the stove to cook for his team.
So the mental image of Ballistic accidentally launching breakfast through a wall entered my head, and my train of thought drove on down to Ballistic’s trigger event. Not so much what it would be as what would happen after it: He’d probably activate his power by accident and have trouble turning it off, so anything he touched would go flying off immediately. He must’ve made such a mess. 😛
