Nikolas was woken up by the loud shaking noises, but was mostly too lazy to get up. He just wanted it to end. Maybe he'd get lucky and a building would fall on him. After all, he had to have had used up all his luck so far. And besides, as long as Alyssa and Katie were all right... Ugh, who was he kidding? He couldn't die, Alyssa/Katie would find some way to call him an idiot in the afterlife. Sighing, Nikolas was about to actually wake up when someone started to shake him.

“Hey, Thorn, wakey-wakey! Get up and get out of here." It was Rei, but Nikolas could tell it was more of a joke then any actual threat. Nikolas swore as he was bashed into the sidewalk, feeling like he was going to have blood trickling down his head any moment now. Glaring at Rei, Nikolas sat up and fingered the back of his head.

"Idiot. Just for that I'm gonna stick around..." Nikolas trailed off, looking around. He saw Taser was still out, so that was good. Katie seemed all right, standing off to the side. "You know where Alyssa is?" Nikolas asked hesitantly. Why was he even talking to this guy? He was the enemy! Nikolas had a feeling that the gangs weren't going to matter as much as they used too. Too much had changed. After all, if Rei wanted he could have killed Taser and Nikolas while they were out. But he hadn't. Some sense of fair play still existed, Nikolas thought. Or maybe there just was an unofficial truce going on. Nikolas sighed, standing on shaky feet.
