Leonardo cursed as he cut his hand on yet another piece of jagged metal. He withdrew it and examined the slice that ran along his palm.
“Careful,” Harmony admonished, distractedly. “The dermal regenerator is on the table.”
Leonardo slid out from under the ship and rolled to his feet, staggering slightly. He put a hand up to his head. It felt slightly fuzzy and Leonardo shook to clear it.
He picked the regenerator and examined it. It was simply a metal wand, with a flat panel. Leonardo placed the panel over the cut, which was still bleeding sluggishly. He pressed the button on the top and the small machine lit up blue and hummed. Leonardo hissed as he could feel his skin knit back together. After a moment, he took it away. All that was a left was a thin pink line.
Leonardo adored the future.
He yawned as he turned back to the ship. Aspen Strong was on top of the flyer, using a laser tool to mold two pieces of metal to the top. It was blackened and already punctured with holes.
“I can’t believe I have to do this to my ship. This is butchery,” she muttered.
“It’s the Federation’s ship, Aspen,” Harmony said. He stood and stretched. “I need to go check in with Kami and Mags. Do you want anything?”
“Coffee,” Leonardo said.
Aspen looked at him sharply. “Have you had any water today, Leo?”
Leonardo cocked his head. “No. Why would I?”
Stories, both long and short.
