77. Ammunition Flash
Ammunition Flash dreams that he is in the BL/ind detention center.
He knows Bulletproof Girl is there. He can hear her screams, which fill the endless hallways. But no matter where he goes, no matter how much he searches for her and screams her name, he can't find her.
He wakes in a cold sweat, heart pounding.
It's too much.
All of this, it's just too much.
He already knows what he's going to do.
Ammunition has been silently preparing for the past two days. Filling a backpack with food, extra clothes, and any small tools or devices that could help him. He's had to be very secretive about it, of course. If anyone knew what he was planning, they'd stop him. He can't let that happen.
He'd been mentally planning this for weeks. Only once he knew that Bulletproof Girl was still alive did he seriously begin preparations.
Sneaking out isn't the hard part. Every now and then, a killjoy or two will go on a walk out in the desert, to get some exercise and just get away from it all from a little bit. It would make sense for Ammunition to take one of these walks, so he should have no trouble getting permission.
The hard part is getting to Battery City. It's a long walk, and in the relentless heat of the sun, almost impossible. He might not even make it to the city before he dies.
But it's worth a try.
For himself, so he can stop having these terrible nightmares. For his friends, to relieve their grief.
But most of all, for Bulletproof Girl.
He is ready.
