Christmas Time in Hunger City

[apocalypsejack]

Jack had immunized quite a number of people in the past few weeks for safety's sake. The virus in their water worked fast on those without immunity. It was one of the things the founding members of the Diamond Dogs all had in common, a natural immunity to the virus. However, as more sought asylum they had to develop a vaccine. That was neither here nor there at this point.

Jack was waiting not far from his doorway for those who wanted to come. He knew the twins at the very least would arrive soon. Minoru had insisted on gifts for the kids. He had managed to scrape up some gifts for the twins as well. He wasn't sure if Balthazar would be there when he got to his high rise space. The angel was welcome when they got there but he thought maybe he would prefer something more private now that they were living more and more like a family.

Isamu could not believe that he was doing this. Somewhere between Jack claiming he had a library and Minoru muttering something about ‘interdimensional studies, isn’t that what we came here for?’ Isamu agreed to step into a post-apocalyptic Hunger City to help play Santa Claus.

Minoru, of course, needed no convincing. This was his idea, and he’d weighed both of their packs down with gifts for every member of Jack’s family, along with food. It wasn’t called Hunger City for nothing.

Together, the twins hopped through the gateway into another world. (The first time either of them had visited one that wasn’t their own since moving to the Nexus earlier in the year.) What they saw on the other side was definitely more than either of them bargained for.

“...woah.”
