|| Dear Winter || AJR ||
"How does that feel?" Carter asked, arms crossed, waiting outside of the changing room. "It feels fine I guess," Winter replied, holding her armored cane. They were all suited up in their new battle suits, the toxic air outside a risk to their lungs. Winter had two oxygen tanks, in case she tried to be wreckless, they couldn't risk her lungs. If things went as schedule today, she would have the Doctor's head off of his shoulders before midnight. The thought of the war ending, of killing all the monsters and restoring order to the Chrysanthemum was exciting. "Winter, your card." Yuuki said nevrously, "We need to talk about it." She stopped walking, Carter looking back at her. "Go on ahead," she waved him away. He nodded, seeming to understand the situation and left. "What about it? What happened?" Yuuki hadn't said anything about her card in a while.
"Well, as you know, it's been changing a lot. It keeps switching back and forth, I don't want you taking any unecessary risks today. Alright?" She nodded, "I know. The others, they need me. I can't do something stupid and die." She leaned on her cane, glad everyone would be at this fight today. "We'll be stronger with all of the other Vassals there, so don't discount them." He reminded her, she nodded. "I know, I'm mstill just working support though." Winter reminded him, unless things had changed. She started walking, "I can't be later to the meeting, Oliver will get pissed." The others were already there, except Elise, who was on her way. There were snacks on the table, cookies and cakes catered by Oliver's personal chef, since he couldn't be bothered to eat peasant food from the kitchen.
Winter reached for a cookie, her stomach growling. There was some arguing for a few minutes before Elise finally arrived, Claude parking Elise beside Winter. "Welcome to the round table," she handed Elise a cookie. Elise had a plan, of course, she always had a plan. With that settled, the final operation would begin. "Are you sure you're ready?" Elise was quite strong, but they needed all of them in order to beat the Chrysanthemum. After all, they were still just children. They were children fighting a war for the adults. It was sickening, to be honest. They were all going to come out of this with some kind of trauma. Winter was certain that once a new government was built, they were all going to be mandated for some sort of mental health counseling.
She rose from the table, grasping her cane. "Let's get this over with," Ezra took the handles of Elise's wheelchair. They were on their way to the tunnel, at last one group. The ground beneath them still rumbled, the giant monster that was tunneling under them no doubt sensing the cluster of power. Carter led them to the entrance, no longer Weather Girls and Boys, but just Weather Kids, Winter supposed. "You're awfully quiet," Carter noted. "Just thoughtful," Winter replied. "It's nice to see everyone together, finally." Winter admitted, shrugging her shoulders.
