More Than a Little Perky

I woke up the next morning still worried about Wang Chao, but a brief glimpse at his flame inside of me reassured me that he was ok. Giving it a stroke to let him know I was thinking of him, I rolled out of bed and into the shower.

I don't know if I was choosing violence today. I assumed that that would be something Violence told me later, but I was going to have to be in meetings with idiots all day. I sighed as I let the hot water run down my body. Without Wang Chao dealing with the military, I was going to have to do it.

And I really didn't know how I was feeling about that idea. Scratch that, I knew how I was feeling about it; I was pissed. But I had to get my hands on that device that made the world go 'boom', and the only way to do that was to play nice with others. Definitely not my strong suit.
