"Where you off to, Ammunition? the gate guard, Light Bomb, questions, as she and her companion open up the gate leading to the outside.

Ammunition Flash has waited long enough. He may not have everything he needs, but he knows that if he waits any longer, Bulletproof Girl may not be alive when he gets there. So he's on his way.

In his backpack are a change of clothes, some packaged food and water, a poor map of the detention center, a map of Battery City, and a disguise, meant to fit him in among the citizens of the city: a white shirt, black pants, and black shoes. Though he knows he might have to wear them at some point to go about the city relatively unnoticed, he dreads it. He doesn't want to look like one of them, never again. But it must be done.

He brings no one with him. This is his journey, his mission. He's going to get Bulletproof Girl out of there, doesn't matter what it takes. His plan is loose, amateur at best. But he's going to have to try. Even if it kills him.

Shrugging to the guard, Ammunition Flash quietly sighs, lowers his eyes to the ground. "Just going for a walk. I thought it might help clear my head."

It works. Sympathy fills Light Bomb's eyes, and she nods to him. "I understand. Go ahead, then. Stay safe out there, alright?"

"I'll try." As he starts walking down the tunnel, he hears a voice call out to him, and he stops.

"Mind if we join you?"
