Noel wasn't exactly a 'handyman' when it came to hospital work. Claire was good with kids and Astrid soon found out Zack got it hit on the side of the head by a brick.
More people called 'Scorpions' arrived. Some people brought in dead people and asked us to do everything we could. We could do nothing.
I was counting the sun sets and eventually came to a conclusion that we had been in New Normal fourteen days.
Fourteen days of Hell.
I was putting a band aid (in which we are on a very short supply) on a little boy when Astrid came over and said, "I need to check something at The Empire. I was checking with Noel and he said there's a good bit left. Can you come with me? Solo got more people to look after the hospital so do you wanna come with?'
I considered this for a moment.
I hadn't seen the sun in ten days.
'Ok.'
'Noel and Claire are coming.'
'Sure.'
In all honesty, I felt a bit awkward.
"Don't play around the barrier of debris again." I said to the kid. The child nodded in agreement and set off. Astrid was gesturing me over to the door of the warehouse.
We reached the forced hole made bigger by Zack and his Scorpions. Astrid walked ahead. She seemed to be in deep thought and trying to get her head around something.
Noel was a little behind Astrid so I walked with Claire.
"Wonder what's going through her head." Claire inputted.
"She's defiantly thinking." I replied.
"You have like her don't you?"
I hadn't thought much about that stuff after the incident.
"Maybe." I said.
"Let me know when you get bored of chasing that Ice Princess."
She smirked.
Then Claire ran ahead.
We all walked apart awkwardly. Astrid still taking the lead.
Then, after a short while, they reached the Empire State Building.
It was sliced diagonally, the opposite half on the ground.
The top was sharper than a blade and if a helicopter flew onto it, it would be poked right through.
At that exact moment, a plane with a heavy cargo flew above them. Everyone stared up.
It had a black, blue an white pattern on the sides.
Then the cargo door opened and revealed three tubes that slithered out like snakes.
Then, without hesitation, the tubes lit up and shot blue beams.
But when they hit the ruined building, there wasn't an explosion. Instead, the ruins froze over.
