"Up how far?" Bucky asked, looking at her. For the moment, he trusted her feelings.
"No, not at all," Summer said. "Just a boring desk job." She paused when she sensed the heartless. "They're up near the top of the tower, more heartless." |
"Near the top." Rose frowned, heading inside. "Most of the way up."
"This way," Steve told her, directing her over to an elevator that went straight up and wouldn't stop. |
"Come on, then," Bucky said, gesturing for her to follow. He saw Steve heading for the elevators as well. "Looks like they're heading up too."
|
"Not surprised," Rose agreed, hurrying over to the elevator.
"Going up?" Steve asked, holding the door just long enough for them to get in too. |
"Yup," Bucky said as he got in. "Looks like the end of this is in sight."
|
"Looks like," Steve agreed, glancing at Bucky. "Should be fun."
Rose grinned a bit, waiting to get up to the correct level, her rifle propped against her shoulder. |
"Should be," Bucky agreed, nodding. He shouldered his rifle as well.
"Looks like we're just about done here," Summer murmured to Rose. "Pity, I was having fun here." |
"We could come back," Rose murmured contemplatively. "It is possible."
|
"It is, this is true," Summer replied. "But we don't know when we'll be needed again, and for how long, and where we'll end up."
|
"I know." Rose pouted, just a bit. "We'll have to see what happens."
The elevator dinged, and Rose headed out first to take a look around. |
Summer was right behind her, shield ready. She could sense the heartless, but she couldn't see them yet.
"Here, let me go first," she murmured to Rose. "I've got the shield. Shoot over my shoulder when we find them." |
"Got it." Rose moved to let Summer go first, and then stayed behind her, aiming over her shoulder at anything that moved.
|
Summer crept forward, following the heartless that shimmered in her senses. They were staying just out of sight, where she wouldn't be able to get them.
|
Rose scowled when she noticed that as well and huffed. "They need to either come out or go away," she grumbled.
|
"Seriously," Summer said. They rounded a corner, and she spotted a small tangle of little heartless against the far wall. "There they are."
|
"Awesome." Rose picked off half of them with her rifle, letting Summer take the other half.
Steve stood back a bit and watched. Okay, he had to admit he liked watching Summer wielding her shield. |
Summer took on the other half, bashing them with the shield. One tried to run, and she threw the shield at it, catching the weapon on the richochet.
"I think that's all of them," she said when they were all gone. "I don't sense any more." |
"Neither do I," Rose agreed. "So, find the heart and seal the world?"
"Nice catch," Steve said with a bit of a grin to Summer. |
Summer nodded to Rose, and then turned to Steve, a bit pink.
"I had plenty of time to watch how you did it," she said. |
Steve grinned. "Keep that up and you'll have no problem using that shield all the time," he told her.
Rose rolled her eyes at the two flirting and started off in the direction of the heart of the world. |
"Thanks," Summer replied, still pink.
Bucky just followed Rose. "Where are you headed now?" he asked her. |
"Would be nice to see the actual keyblade too," Steve said, watching her. "See what it normally looks like."
"I'm trying to find the heart," Rose told him. "Still needs to be locked so this world will be safe from heartless." |
"I have a hunch it will change back once we get back to Radiant Garden," Summer said. "Though I don't know if you'd be able to come through to see it..." She trailed off as something tingled on the edge of her senses. The heart of the world was nearby.
Bucky glanced around as they went. "We're headed into the main living floors," he said. "You think the heart is here?" |
"i'd be willing to try," Steve told her. "It would be interesting to see." He noticed her attention shifting. "More heartless? Or something else?"
"Feels like it to me," Rose said, scanning the room and trying to get a pinpoint on where the heart was. Her gaze paused on Tony and fixed there. "Ah. This is going to be fun." |
"No, not more heartless," Summer replied, shaking her head. "The heart of the world." She headed in the right direction, and got there just as Rose zeroed in on Tony. "Well. Can't say I'm surprised at that one."
"Stark?" Bucky asked, raising an eyebrow. "He's the heart you're looking for?" |
