A week later and all of the Los Elementos were dawning their bulletproof vests and loading their guns. They had left the attack for a while to get as many people trained as precisely as possible.

This was Hashim and Tanya who were on the line and they could not afford to mess it up. one wrong move and it's all over. The world will truly be dead.

No resurrection.

Deshi nervously twisted the knife in his hand. he could admit he has never been as scared as he is right now. The memories of losing his brother all seemed to come flooding back but with the face of Tanya present. Loud cries rang through his ears resembling the one he had heard before of little boys and girls terrified by the actions of frost. he was ready to fight until the end. Until all those screams had died out and only giggles and smiles were shown by every last human on earth.

"You okay Deshi?" Anika crouched down to reach his eye level.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GipvzXhjh
They hadn't interacted as much as they did with others but the mutual respect was always there. Deshi even looked up to Anika, dreaming many times about them meeting and working together whilst holed up in Frost's cell. Now he did get to work with her and it was everything he had imagined.

He gave her silent and that was good enough for the elder. She walked over to her girlfriend and tightened her vest, which she had been struggling with for some time. Hope's darker hands wrapped around Anika's, connecting the comfort that both had seemed to lose within the past weeks. Slowly moving in, their lips connected in harmony. a soft, small peck of calmness.

"I don't want to lose you like I lost him." The insecurities finally spilled over and broke through the barrier. Anika had already lost her first love and she couldn't bear losing her second.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U6CsnMSKZ
"You won't." Hope connected their lips again to embrace her love with trust. She always stuck by her word.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQb16rlVQr
"I love you." The words that hadn't been heard from Anika since her husband. It was time to move on. It was time to be truthful to her present.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovHKjI3DBP
"I love you too."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOmNyuGhTg
The elder went to go check on everyone still getting ready to fight whilst hope decided to sit with Deshi. She wrapped her arm around the boy's prominent biceps and leaned her head to his shoulder. Both just stared into space before them. Not talking but speaking with their body language. It was serene.

"I can't wait to see our son again." Hope sighed.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXcssSsbDd
"Our?" A mix of confusion and excitement entangled in Deshi's voice.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBmQZ662qx
"Yeah, I'm adopting Hashim when we get back. Anika's birthday wish." Hope had been mad that her girlfriend hadn't told her sooner that it was the elder's birthday but after a little argument and many hours of training later, they had finally settled down and decided how to celebrate the birthday. This plan has been the one deemed most fit.

"Wow, thought I had a chance with you then..."
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrs2k2DfNr
"Oh shut up, you never had a chance. That's the whole thing about being a lesbian is that men are a no go." She laughed with the younger. It was the only thing they could do right now to forget all the pain the community had endured since the loss of two of its crucial members.

"They'll be fine right? T and Hashim. He won't have done anything?" Deshi asked as he snuggled closer into hope's arms, seeking peace.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ZCmawLWC
"Did Judas have a motive when visiting Jesus' dinner?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIiu6HTWi3
Deshi slowly nodded.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtzRZt2Tui
"Then they will be fine."

The bunker had no idea what was coming their way.

Tanya and Hashim were still in the same room, starved and almost dead. The torture of watching Hashim have to fight off the guards who took entertainment in their suffering combined with only little pieces of bread to survive from knocked all the fight from the duo. Their eyes had sunken and skin faded. It had gotten harder with each hour to stay awake, to stay alive. Yet they were still here, fighting to see the Los Elementos again.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc5LUwQen3
To see the people they loved.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrTPThlwML
Hashim had once again found himself leaning into Tanya with his head resting under her chin. It's all they had to show another being was still present in the room. Especially for Tanya.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtbj4FLnG7
She had been listening to nothing but propaganda for twenty-four hours straight the whole week and it was starting to get to her. The first thoughts in her head when an image of her loved ones appeared were ones of death and destruction. It took all the might of her being to let go of that mindset and keep the one that seemed so distant now.

The doors opened and Clint came in. His scars were faded but the anger only grew. Eyes red with fury and smile filled with privilege.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0pakglX6B
"Look at the poor baby." His eyes were set on Hashim who still had his head buried in Tanya's neck.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1k75iRuPL
"Is he scared? Does he know he is going to die?"
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Nwc0hV6n
"Idiot." Tanya breathed the word out.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzR1PACqab
"What did you say, bitch!" Clint had grabbed her neck like frost once did but was not replicating the force.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPeWISxh3W
"He is deaf but if I were you I would ask yourself the same questions." Her void eyes sparked up again. A small glare of fire that hadn't burned out flamed again.

That's when the alarm rang signaling a break-in and every officer was called to duty.

The revolution was about to commence.
