    Summary

    And now the purple hyacinths were blooming in his palm, and Oli pulled them gently from under his skin and squished them under his shoe.
    It was a cool winter night, one that his suit wasn’t necessarily built for, and the cold bit into the skin on his bare face, whipping his dark hair around. He pulled his mask back up, for warmth and CCTV cameras - it was too late at night for the news reporters - and scuffed his shoes on the concrete as he walked to the edge of the building. It was just a quick patrol. He would be back home in 20 minutes.
    Except he wouldn’t be home. He wouldn’t be in the old bedroom at his childhood home, or god forbid Callum’s, the noticeboard, the linen bedsheets.
    Oli would not be home. He would be at the Hero Tower.

    Fear (and something else, something almost animalistic, twitching his lips up into an almost-smile) flashed in Orion’s face, and instinctively, he raised his staff, but Velox wrenched it from his fingers, Orion was flinching backwards, Velox spun it horizontally and pushed it forwards to trap him against the wall.
