forum Rykah and Will(because I can't think of a better title)

Rykah pulled Will through the streets of the city. Ignoring shouts from other flyers as he headed downtown.

(You’re good, I was gone for an hour)
“Jesus, what’s going on?”

Rykah pulled Will behind a low brick wall. "Pirates" said Rykah, ignoring his still sore shoulders from carrying the net. (He is still wearing the harness)

“Pardon?” Will asked, utterly bewildered.

"Pirates" said Rykah as he pulled Will along a side street avoiding people skirmishing. "You know like Captain Hook? Only meaner?"

“Yeah, no, I got that part, I just was surprised that pirates are a thing…”

"Oh they're a thing!" ssid Rykah as he dashed up to a building and ran inside, quickly shutting the door behind them they found themselves facing a bunch of other kids their age and older pointing swords at them.
"This is a military base" said one. "You shouldnt be here"

"We were ordered to come here!" Said rykab glancing at the kid's right sleeve and noting the two bars "we came in with a Flight team that left on a rescue mission yesterday corporal. Three of them flew on ahead as we were approaching the island. The last one told me to come here"

Will just raised his eyebrows. He wasn’t totally sure how to respond to…. well, anything at the moment.

(First this pic is a good way to convey how this city looks, also they are a mix of medical and high tech… https://pin.it/suugu63xevp6he )

"We'll have to sort it out later" said the boy. "Just stay out of our way till the safe call" he gestured to a far corner as the others got back to work. Rykah nodded and quickly took Will's arm leading him to the spot indicated and watching calmly. "You ok?" He asked knowing that this was probably bewildering.

(Oh, ok, that helps)
Will nodded, taking a deep breath. “Yep.” He thought for a moment. “Mostly.”

"You sure?" Asked Rykah taking a moment to breathe.

“No. But I’ll be alright, just need a second.” Will thought to himself, You are not allowed to have a panic attack here. You can’t.

Rykah nodded. Waiting to see what would happen next.
After awhile a loud alarm suddenly blew. And then a lavender aura began to sweep through the city. Rykah could even see some of the strands swirling around his feet.
(Let me know if you need explanations on anything… I havent quite gotten Rykahs world entirely sorted out yet so most of this is me winging it as I go…)

“Rykah….?”
(You’re doing a pretty good job so far, because I get what’s going on.)

(Thanks also I am simultaneously surfing pinterest here and this (minus coloring and wings tail ears) would totally be him https://pin.it/nc2qyy4hgoskis )
"What's wrong Will?"

(Omg, yes)
“What is that?”

"Its fixer mist" said Rykah. "It does a lot of the major repairs and maintenance around the city" he explained watching it seep up the walls and head elsewhere.

(https://pin.it/xwavkfr7w27o7z can we just talk about the fact that my name is under ‘Victorian Chic’. Like, rude.)
“Oh.” Will said shakily, taking a steadying breath, although it failed.

(Considering I dont actually know what your name is and that my name has no category all I can say is that all the names in the indicated category are very nice names!)
"Are you sure your ok?" Asked Rykah concerned for his friend.

(I mean it’s fair, i’m Named after my grandmother. All of my siblings were named after somebody, and I have the least strange name, so I guess I lucked out.)
Will sat down, slightly afraid he would pass out, but hoped to make it look like he was just sitting down for relaxation purposes. “Yeah…”

Rykah watched Will qith concern but decided it would be best not to pry any further… instead he watched the door as several military men came through.

Will looked at Rykah for confirmation that they were still somewhat safe.

Rykah gave will a reassuring smile before continuing to watch the men. He watched for about 15 min as most of the men and the kids from earlier were assigned various jobs and left. Finally one man with violet and pink wings began to pace alone looking up just as the team of flyers that had flown Will and Rykah in to the island rushed in from different directions. They quickly regrouped before Marco spoke to the purple feathered guy. Then seeing Will and Rykab he waved them over. Rykah nodded turning to Will. "Come on Will" he said gently and happily.

Will got up and followed, finding Rykah’s arm, but not taking his hand or wrist.

Rykah walked quietly over to the officer.
Marco nodded saying something else to the purple winged officer before taking leave.
The officer turned to Rykah. "I take it you'd like to see some familiar faces huh? " said the man cheerfully.
"Yes sir." Said rykah calmly.
"Then follow me." Be said turning towards the door. "I'm sure Barron will be happy to see you made it safe and sound" he iled as he led the two boys out into the sun and down the now only slightly chaotic streets.

Will walked slightly behind Rykah, hands in his pockets. He watched the ground, only occasionally looking up to avoid crashing into things.

Soon they were in a large city square filled with several newly repaired and being repaired shops and wagons. One man was in the midst of it all directing people and animals (it is a marketplace) as well as military. He paused for just a moment when he saw the officer walking in. The officer led Rykah and Will up to the middle of the square staying well out of the way of the traffic directing officer until he finally noticed them, mouthing something to the purple winged officer they switched places and the man immediately hugged Rykah. Wings and all. "Your mom is gonna flip when she sees you" he said tiredly.

Will stepped back a bit, watching Rykah. He smiled, happy for his friend.
