[b]Time[/b]: After Hounds Encounter

With his business with the Hounds finally concluded David quickly rushed back to the airport, eager to check on his family and wrap them in his embrace again. During the fight at the airport he had done his best to keep them safe, and shut down the Hounds as quickly as possible; but during the last stretch something had gone terribly wrong, and that had been on his mind this entire time.

The police were keeping everyone there for a little longer, taking statements, and sorting out the injured, which meant that the building was just as crowded as it was earlier; which meant that nobody was really around to watch the stairs to roof access.

After several painful minutes David found his way back to the main terminal building where he had erected his stone dome with the intent to protect the civilians, and most importantly, his family. Most of it still stood, most of the people inside were excavated, and a large amount had been carefully torn down from the looks of things. 

Various rescue personnel were working with a few of the heroes from earlier in order to tear down his construct piece by piece, it looked like it was slow work seeing as how this wasn’t something they usually did, and David had originally made the walls thick. He apologized silently.

David moved swiftly through the crowd, bumping more than a few shoulders on accident while scanning over everyone’s faces as quick as he could, but as it turns out he didn’t need to bother as they found him first. A voice called out to him across the room.

 “David!”

He quickly turned his head around to see Cecily waving to him, along with Madison right next to her. Seeing the both of them together lifted a heavy weight off his heart, and he pushed his way through the crowd towards them. The three of them gripped each other tightly, and simply held each other for a long while.

“Where the hell did you go?” Cecilia shouted in his ear, still refusing to let go.

“We got separated from you, then we got trapped!” Madison sobbed into his side, her voice was shaking, it hurt him to see them like this, and it pained him even more to hear that last part.

“It was dark, and then part of it fell down!” She continued to bawl, he couldn't blame either of them, this was something neither of them should have experienced.

David softly put his hands behind the both of their heads and drew them closer.

“I’m sorry I got separated, but I’m here now, we’re all here.” He said as gently as he could, his own voice started to tremble as well. David looked past Cecily’s head to see that stone barrier he had made for everyone, even with the tears in his eyes he could still see it, the part of it that had fallen first. Somehow the part that hid Madison had crumbled, letting her and those with her witness the fight; the part that had exposed her to potential stray bullets and shrapnel.

[i]Why had it fallen?[/i]

Usually they never gave up that fast; either he or someone else had to tear them down. But this was a question for another day, for now he left things as they were. His family was alive.
