Chapter Text
The Girl brings down BL/ind and Battery City. Everything changes and everything stays the same; it’s a new beginning and the next chapter and the same story all over again. The Fabulous Killjoys’ mission of bringing the truth of BL/ind and the Analog Wars to light is complete. Everything is about rebuilding, recreating, reviving. With access to BL/ind’s supplies and knowledge, they could maybe even heal the outer zones: they could go past Zone Six. Farther in the world than any ‘joy could ever dream of.
Daniel Inflammable and the Sunrise Kid get a house. Floor-to-ceiling windows on the east side. The glass is homemade, laser gun-blasted — it’s messy and distorted and uneven, and the sunrise coming through it in the morning is the most beautiful thing in the whole world.
It’s not very big — it’s barely more than old Platform Zero — but it’s enough. It’s theirs.
Still. Somedays. The motorbike sits in the corner, and the desert is infinite and waiting to be explored, and it’s not like they have to be here, not with a thousand tomorrows on the tip of their tongues, all filled with a future.
“Run away with me?”
And with all the love and fondness in the world: “Anytime you want.”
