It was still a chore to walk straight after everything that happened. Zaark felt like a broken machine, like she could be fixed but would probably never work quite right ever again. Hopefully this didn’t mean the Board would put her on stand-by. She rather liked this Earth. Speaking of which…

Zaark could hear the quiet but forceful exclamations in the alley, the voice familiar, and familiarly depreciating, though she knew it still wouldn’t be the same man she meet so long ago. But he was close enough. “Cisco? My friend, is that you? What are you doing here, this is no time to be alone. Please, come with me. I could use the company too.”

“Zaark, heh, hey!” Cisco sighed happily, glad to see a familiar face. “What are you doing out here? It’s probably not the safest, there could be aftershocks.” He said, walking to the woman and pushing the negative thoughts to the back of his mind. “Let’s go back to STAR labs, I can make us something warm to drink and find some warm clothes for you.”
