They’d flown back down to the ground so quickly they didn’t realize the next flash of lightning had literally struck the Skarmory mid-air, and only when he looked up did he see another one of the staffers, this time it was Jack—very much drenched all the way while holding up a Skarmory via his Pangoro. “I found ‘im down somewhere, thank fuck I was out here to see what happened!”“Thanks, and I do really mean that because did you see what happened, Alex?!”“No, what happened, Eth?”“Skarmory got toasted by a lightning bolt. Literally a lightning rod, but I think he’s going to be fine. I mean, Valk got struck so many times by lightning too and she’s still standing, right?”“Yeah, but only because she’s Sturdy!”“Jack, go get his Skarmory to the clinic, stat.”“On it, bossman.”As the Pangoro lumbered away carrying the Skarmory, Alexei took a drink from the other mug of hot chocolate that Ethan had poured for him. “You—you didn’t tell me you weren’t used to turbulence in mid-air!” he exclaimed at first. “You’re a stubborn one, you know that?!” he added a few moments later, gesturing for another blanket which was quickly piled on the little Josh. “I thought the weather was going to calm down but it didn’t, and then I noticed you were already—djinni, you’re a reckless one,” he continued, taking another sip. “What amazes me though, is that—despite flying with disadvantage, you still went through with the entire thing.”The storm continued to whip up gale-force winds outside, buckets of rain coming down. “And that’s one thing we really can’t control out in the wild. The weather. You’re stubborn, I’ll give you that, but at the same time you were absolutely determined to see this through. Although I couldn’t hear the entire commentary because my ear piece shorted out—”“Is that why you weren’t answering when I was telling you that he was having some trouble on the third obstacle?” Ethan interjected, taking a sip from his own mug. “I could only hear static from your end, but you could hear me?”“Yeah.”Shaking his head slightly, his free hand rummaged around in the other jacket pocket before pulling out something small, and cold. “Give me your hand.”Once the other had extended said hand, he palmed something small and cold in it— The Skyrider Badge.
