The air had a bite to it. The sun was falling below the horizon as the twilight took a firm hold of the countryside. Fireflies blinked in the forest creating constellations hung in the trees for anyone so lucky to be witness to the fleeting joy. Crickets chirped amongst themselves, holding a choir only they understood. The sky was a wash of purples and scarlet, creating a mural that clashed against the darkness of the treetops.
And it was all white noise to Robin as she racked the bolt, loading a fresh round into the chamber of her rifle. The light blue backlight of her visor carefully observed her equipment. Rifle, spare magazine, an IFAK, and various other odds and ends were all packed in their rightful place to the chagrin of the Hero who was overseeing this whole affair.
“Look, just don’t shoot me, ‘kay?” He muttered. Once enthusiastic, now jaded over his accompanying students, LightFix was assigned to poke around in the woods, and to assist him he had asked the local Hero School for volunteers.
Robin’s eyes rolled under her helmet, “Look, it wasn’t even my idea to be here!” she countered, “Besides, just don’t get in my way and you’ll be able to walk away from this night.” her head cocked to the side in the same manner one would smirk, as her visor flipped through all the various vision enhancements. It switched between a light blue, to a faint green, and a pale white and back again. If she was alone, she might’ve been able to ‘stage’ an accident for LightFix. Clear up one quirk ahead of schedule. Fortunately for her grumpy supervision, he had asked for two volunteers and since she was here, Zen should hopefully be here shortly.
She adjusted the weight of her pack on her shoulders, her mind running through the relevant facts. There was a monster, or something, loose in the woods and they sent children to deal with it. Not heroes, Students. What was the point of paying Heroes exorbitant salaries if the plan was to gum up the tracks with interns. Again, she rolled her eyes at the audacity of Heroes.
“So, when’s ya frien’ gonna get hea’?” He asked, refusing to fully pronounce a single word.
“So, when’ya gonna stop askin’? I told you, no idea.” Robin retorted. “I’d prefer if they were here sooner though, as the current company is rather lacking.”
