Numbly, she follows Theo to his home. She’s never been inside before, so the space is as strange and new as it would have been yesterday? Twenty years ago?[break][break]

Her mind is still struggling to sort it out.[break][break]

But Blue doesn’t know what else to do after so much time spent trailing in the other’s shadow. It’s near instinctive to follow him to every corner of reality.[break][break]

No, she knows where she needs to go. She needs to find , and ensure that time really hasn’t passed at all.[break][break]

That he is still in the same state she left him in.[break][break]

But she can’t leave Theo’s side, either. Not when the shock of having twenty years added on, only to be stripped away is so fresh.[break][break]

“Theo..?” She can’t leave him like this, because he doesn’t seem right.[break][break]

Not to her.

Though the steel spikes proved effective in carving a path forward for them, her galarian meowth is still battered down by the onslaught. As he crashes down to the earth below, he shrinks back to normal size, only to be recalled in a bright beam of light.[break][break]

The dog tag mega-charm that dangles from her neck glows in warning as Fang flies loose next. The light synchronizes with her lucario, and he mega evolves as he launches forward in perfect sync with Blue. This is the natural way of it—they have always been a team. Back to back, they fight as they forge their way ahead along with Theo and his Pokémon.[break][break]

Closer to the clash they draw, as the colossal eternatus crashes down with necrozma continuing to nettle at it.[break][break]

She looks forward then, only to see a familiar face as they are impaled by the toxic spike of a remaining creature. Pruitt wasn’t anyone special to her, but she supposes they spent enough nights drinking at the same bar, side by side on the same stools without breaking into a brawl that maybe he’s close enough to a friend than not. She frowns, a fist lifting to settle over her heart in a show of respect as their eyes meet in those last few moments.[break][break]

But there’s no more time than this to spare.[break][break]

In a snap decision, she looks to her lucario and jerks her head in the direction of the necrozma. The look of understanding is all that’s needed as Fang turns to set loose a burst of aural energy at the black knight, the AURA SPHERE hopefully enough to detach it from its efforts with eternatus. And if it isn’t, the METEOR MASH swing of her hammer hopefully will be.

[attr="class","star2"] None of this felt smooth or easy. It was clumsy and uncoordinated, but still somehow natural. Like her instincts had just been waiting for her to react to this sort of contact. Like everything in her was breathing the same sort of sigh of relief she felt exhaled from Shinra’s lips.[break][break]

Curiously, Blue let her head tilt. Her eyes fluttered partially open to peer at him as she invited the opportunity for the kiss to deepen. Then they fell shut again. It was a lot like fumbling around in the dark for something that had fallen just out of reach, and waiting for the moment her fingers closed around it again. That ah, there it is sensation.[break][break]

Her breath hitched as his hands slid around her to settle against her back, fingertips accidentally tangling in the ends of long, navy hair. A shiver darted along her spine at the feeling—of how caught the simple act of a hold like this made her feel. A rabbit with its foot in her snare.[break][break]

But she wasn’t fighting for her life here. The spike of adrenaline that set her heart racing felt exhilarating. Like she should chase that feeling instead of running away from it. It was the sort of feeling she’d never really thought herself to be capable of.[break][break]

Blue settled back on her feet again, hands still cradling his face as she retreated to watch him again. Her face burned, but it was pleasant. Enough to make her smile again despite the awkward tilt of her words when she finally spoke. “Sorry. I haven’t really, uh- I’m not very good at all…this.” A nervous, breathless laugh trickled out afterward.[break][break]

Maybe if she’d given it much thought, she’d clue in that he didn’t seem to be either, but in Blue’s mind, she was typically the problem source more often than not.

[attr="class","star2"] For once, she didn’t flinch away from the contact that came with this sort of thing. For once, she felt like she couldn’t help but want it to persist. It wasn’t something she’d actively thought about– wanting this. But when it was there in front of her, Blue realized that maybe she’d been hoping for it longer than she’d been aware of.[break][break]

Even before that stupid game drummed up confusing thoughts that had left her awake and staring at her ceiling, it had been there. That strange feeling that had crushed in on her that day in the silent icelands where things fell apart for a while. There had been no reason to feel as upset as she had. And yet that had been what happened.[break][break]

Maybe it was that night at the bar where he’d tucked her hair away, or when he’d found her out at the underground ring, and followed after it. Maybe it was even before that–when they’d met and he managed to look straight through her until she was seething over being perceived so acutely. Maybe she’d wanted to be seen more than she ever wanted to admit.[break][break]

Blue wasn’t all that poetic, though. So it didn’t really matter when this nagging feeling had started. When it had taken root or grown like a scraggly weed in her heart. All she really cared about was the then and there. The seconds between them stretched out longer in a way that felt near terrifying before his mouth found hers again.[break][break]

And this time, she reacted.[break][break]

The tension bled out of her, and Blue leaned against him as she returned the kiss. Clumsy against the gentler edge of it. Careful, tentative hands drifted up to cup his jaw. As if she were worried that at any second she might lash out because all those hands had ever really known to do was claw and tear and hit. Blue wasn’t built for this. This time, though, she wanted to be. She wished she was.

[attr="class","star2"] She stood, then he followed. Not that she had much idea of what to do next. It felt like a contentious moment, even though she’d just declared that she wasn’t angry with him. It was charged in a way that she couldn’t explain or piece together. The air felt thick and heavy between them, and her hands balled up at her sides instinctively though she had no desire to throw hands.[break][break]

All she could do was watch him. Her stare caught on one thing, the first thing that stupidly fell from her mouth– “Those are the gloves I got you.” Right there, pulled over his hands. At the time, she’d figured they were all wrong and he’d hate them.[break][break]

Unbidden, her teeth chewed at her bottom lip, but she didn’t look away from Shinra. She watched him carefully, and maybe in the back of her mind she knew what she would’ve liked him to do right then, but she couldn’t catch up to the thought. It lagged in her mind and tripped her up. There was no way he would, it was Shinra.[break][break]

Even as he closed the remaining space between them, she couldn’t quite believe it. The heavy thump of her heart in her chest was just in her imagination, not an anticipatory reaction or what she thought was coming. The kiss that followed wasn’t something soft or sweet, but she still struggled to catch up. Blue went still, the surprised note of sound swallowed up between them.[break][break]

She didn’t immediately react, but she didn’t yank away, either.[break][break]

Usually, this sort of treatment was unwelcome. In the past it had been unwanted and given anyway. But she didn’t feel that way now. Not with Shinra. Instead it was that achy feeling she’d felt when she’d first arrived there. That I’ve come home sort of sensation, applied to a person rather than a place.[break][break]

Shinra. Shinra with his cold, unaffected demeanor and sharp eyes. Wearing the gloves she’d bought. Kissing her. Giving her the chance she hadn’t realized she’d been hoping for.[break][break]

Blue realized that she didn’t know what to do with her hands. But when she tried to move them from her sides, she discovered that they had moved of their own accord without her knowing, to settle against his chest. Not to push him away, but to pull him closer.[break][break]

In spite of that, she balked somewhat. Staring up at him with a puzzled expression. “Shinra.” Maybe if– “Do that again.” If he refused, then it would have been a mistake, right? But if not…then what?

“Is that supposed to be a compliment..?” she snorts, shrugging. Doesn’t sound much like one to her, though she’s always been considered a bit of an attack dog in her own right.[break][break]

Kinda different sides of the same coin, she figures.[break][break]

“Astute,” she remarks flatly as she takes the cigarette and puffs on. Fixated on the plume of gray smoke in front of her face and that harsh nicotine tang, she doesn’t notice the pink mist rising around their ankles at the same time.[break][break]

Her nose wrinkles again. “Oh shit. You got any idea what that is?” She takes one more drag off of the cigarette before she offers it back as her steps start moving in reverse.[break][break]

“Looks a helluva lot bigger than just a pig, man.”[break][break]

Blue’s words do come out sharp with bite that time as he remains seemingly apathetic. Beside her, her poochyena growls low in his throat.[break][break]

The Great Tusk, meanwhile, seems to belatedly notice them–a rolling eye swiveling over to fixate on them.

She should’ve brought her own pack of cigarettes.[break][break]

“You a poochyena in another life?” On cue, her own springs free of its pokeball to dog her heels.[break][break]

Maybe it’s for the better that he remains unfazed by her tone. Though it wasn’t an insult by any stretch, if he’d taken it with offense, it probably would’ve easily set off her temper. She shakes her head at the offering, not much in the mood to smoke.[break][break]

Her expression contorts in distaste. “Wet pig?” It hits her then as she trains her senses toward the direction he turns to. “Eugh.”[break][break]

Red eyes flit toward River again. “Actually, y’know what, can I bum that after all?” she nods to the cigarette, hand out and ready to pinch the stick between her fingers. Anything to dampen the stench.[break][break]

“What would cause that?” she takes a step for the murky dark, then pauses. “Don't say ‘a wet pig.’”

“How do you know? It’s all I’m good at, you don’t get it. I—“ she breaks the ramble off stubbornly.[break][break]

—am a lost cause.[break][break]

Her face and hands are sore from her fighting, sorer still from the treatment no matter how careful. She can feel her skin puffing and bruising. Pain grounds her. Reminds her that she’s not quite gone yet.[break][break]

Her head shakes, slow at first then quick. When she drags in a breath, it’s annoyingly watery. She bites down on her lip when it wobbles.[break][break]

“No.”

When the call comes, she rises to it. She’s different than she used to be, calm and determined rather than cagey and distrustful. Her feet plant steady on the ground alongside and their queen, . She follows the charge led by . When Theo moves, Blue moves. She promised to have his back—she’ll make good on this.[break][break]

Blue snorts, elbowing his arm affectionately. “Maybe we are. This a good time for an ‘I told you so’?” There’s a grin on her face that betrays the relief of potentially returning. Even if time has changed and her worn her down. Made the feeling of leaving into something that tastes bittersweet on her tongue.[break][break]

She has learned to live properly and fully. All of it alongside someone she probably wouldn’t have called her dearest friend if it had still been twenty years in the past. It wouldn’t even be a potential, not her superior. But it’s the comfort of how their connection has changed that allows her to find his hand for a moment as her other arm slings the charged up war hammer she carries up over her other shoulder. Her palm squeezes his and she looks up at Theo with a crooked smile, “No, thank you. For everything.”[break][break]

It means more than she can express.[break][break]

The dynamax band on her wrist flares to life then as she lets go and unleashes her galarian meowth. Richard shrieks in a glow of red as he grows. Fur standing on end as he charges forward with unhinged energy. Aiming to cut through the forces ahead of them with a sharpened volley of MAX-STEELSPIKE. Behind him, Blue swings through the remnants with her hammer—clearing the path as METEOR MASH sends opponents flying away.

The moment his close combat landed, Fang followed through. There was no hesitation or retreat for the lucario–just as there was none for Blue. His momentum carried him to crash into the fallen dragon. Ready to pummel him with spiked fists.[break][break]

There was nothing clean or friendly about this match. Sportsmanship had flown out the window the moment Blue had stepped into the ring. But this was what she lived for–being on that precipice and straddling the line between safety and danger. There was a thrill when those fight or flight instincts kicked in. And by the time the two of them went down in a heap, the flush of adrenaline had taken over.[break][break]

She thrashed under his weight, relishing in the connection of her kneecap with his inner thigh. As her hands scrabbled and clawed at his where they were still latched like a vice around her throat, Blue arched up and then drove her knee at whatever she could land a hit on again.[break][break]

A wheeze rattled up her constricted throat, and her lungs burned. Blackness flickered in her vision. Even then, on the cusp of unconsciousness, she grinned up at her opponent. Wild-eyed and bloody-mouthed. Triumphant regardless of the actual outcome.

“I don’t get why you accept it so easily.” He’s right. Of course he’s right. He’s Theo. Adapting would be the smarter, safer choice. But Blue has held onto so few things in her life that now that she has something she doesn’t want to let go of, it’s hard.[break][break]

“Maybe I should drown,” she gripes back at him.[break][break]

There’s a tingle in her nose that she’s recently discovered is the precursor to angry tears that she doesn’t want to allow to fall. “I’ll just drag you down too.”[break][break]

They still brim on her lashes as she glares at Theo–who is the only person she has here. It’s unwise to lash out at him, but she’s good at shooting herself in the foot. At ending up disappointed and alone and with no one but herself to blame for it.[break][break]

The fury there is meager, though. Her words are more of a plea for help than a true argument.

the next ten years
[break][break]

We aren’t going home, Blue.[break][break]

These are words she thinks of often, no matter the years that pass her by, aging her body and weathering her bones. Each day cements ’s quiet insistence from that very first month more and more. Maybe she’s learned to accept her lot. Maybe she’s unwound defensive layers and taught herself a proper way of living that isn’t cagey or unnecessarily violent.[break][break]

But stubbornly, she doesn’t quite stop believing she’ll return to where she left a piece of her heart.[break][break]

Eventually, inexplicably. Somehow.[break][break]

—
[break][break]

Blue doesn’t move quite as quickly as she once did, but it doesn’t mean she’s any less lethal. She simply learns how to hold herself steady, to not fly off the handle and jump to violence as a first resort. Instead, she becomes a protector. A role she thought she would chafe at, but has come to appreciate for all of the resilience it teaches her. Her dogged loyalty actually put to good use.[break][break]

—
[break][break]

Sitting on the soft slope of a pond they managed to uncover that isn’t plagued with toxicity and grime, Blue lets her feet dangle in the water, hands in the grass. Her patience has improved in leaps and bounds through the years—not enough to be patient to hold a fishing pole of her own, however.[break][break]

When she was younger, it would’ve been impossible to keep her still, but now she can sit there in the quiet for hours. Rookidee song returns to the world around them as the sludge retreats. Why do you think it’s receding? she wants to ask him. After years of studying the stuff, why now? But it would shatter the repose.[break][break]

She looks at him like something dear, because he is.[break][break]

Somewhere along the line Theo transcended that arms length role of superior into a companion. In a way, she supposes she has him to thank. For teaching her, for soothing her sharper edges, for showing her what he meant a lifetime ago when he said that all he wanted was peace.[break][break]

“I’m surprised you accepted,” she finally remarks (killing the silence is still inevitable, it seems,) but there is a wry smile on her lips as she watches Theo. She squints against the sunlight, nose wrinkling as she mulls it over. “Think it’s high time they have you doing something all wide and smart-minded, though.”[break][break]

It’s a roundabout way of expressing her pride, but it’s not as if he needs that sort of validation from her. Instead—[break][break]

“Y’know, someone’s gonna need to watch your back for you, old man.”[break][break]

Sentimentality isn’t her strong suit. Never has been.[break][break]

She leans over and jostles his shoulder with hers, then dips sideways to let her head rest where her shoulder just was. It makes the fishing line bob, and probably disturbs the fish. But there will probably be more quiet moments for catch and release, just as there have been every year prior.[break][break]

There’s nothing else she can bring herself to voice. She fades back into quiet, letting her loyalties speak for themself.[break][break]

And so it goes on, much like the rest. Accepting of where they’ve landed, but always with the thought in the back of her mind.[break][break]

The train ride is long, but someday they’re gonna have to get off.[break][break]

At least now she knows how to enjoy the time it takes to arrive.[break][break]

And to keep it safe from the looming threats that lie in wait.
