DAY TWENTYNINE 5:53AM

Same Old Same Old  

"Are you seriously stopping for coffee?" Suki asked with a grin. 

"Well, we'll go through the drive-thru," Scorpio answered, mirroring her smile. "What can I say? You've taught me well." 

He rolled down the window, placed the order, pulled up, exchanged the coins for the drinks. He was beginning to understand it, why the rituals were so important when things changed so much. 

"What should I be expecting from the day?" he asked once they were back en route. 

Suki sipped her coffee. "Besides the ultra-violence? We just have to save the world, that's all." 

Scorpio nodded. "Then maybe I should take the time now to say thank you."
