“Nope not that. No beyond maps or venturing. Venturing means we choose to go. The only thing you have right is that we are all in the unknown.”

Ethan couldn’t understand why. They were lost, the streets were busy and loud.

He couldn’t believe that he got talked into this. Before he even realised what was going on Alex and Olly has whisped the trio into central London. Blindfolded and given only the name of a pub and a street their mission was to make it there using only street signs and the underground.

“You’re always so serious.” Sam chided, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. “This should be fun, we are able to be normal. It’s what we have all wanted.”

Ethan rolled his eyes. She was right, as she normally was, but he wasn’t about to just give in so easily.

“You take the lead then.” Ethan said, handing the crumpled map to her.

“I have been waiting for you to ask.” She beamed, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek forcing his head away so Shay wouldn’t see him blushing.

“So we are currently at London Bridge, we need to get to a place called Junkyard golf. They say that it’s near Moorgate. Ok that’s easy enough, we just need to find an underground train station.

“A tube.” Ethan said.

“Bless you.” Sam laughed.

“No the underground train. It’s called a tube.”

“Oh. Why’s it called that?”

“I’ve always wondered the same. Chloe laughed at me when I asked.”

Shay was watching the two of them talk about a hilariously pointless topic and smiled. Here they were, two of the strongest Empowered known to the world. Both smiling and jabbing at eachother while trying to figure out a map.

She almost couldn’t believe the situation they were in. More so than any adventure or any trap or any mission, watching the two of them go back and forth about directions made her happy.

They had made it. They made it to the point they had all hoped for. After all the battles and all the heartbreak, finally a life they could call their own.

“Uh oh. Ethan has to let someone else lead. Watch out Shay, I think he is about to start brooding again.” Sam laughed loudly, gently elbowing Shay.

Shay burst out laughing at Ethan’s reaction and the two girls stood, leaning on each other, both racked in laughter.

“Whatever.” Ethan huffed.

This set the girls off even more. Sam dropping to her knees slapping the ground barely able to get a breath in.

“Oh god. Stop please, I can’t.” Sam choked.
