I cough loudly as the rubble is raised above us. My ears are ringing and probably won’t stop for a while. The cons of having exceptional hearing. At first I’m too stunned to move and I just stare at the dust and destruction. Then I remember we don’t have time for this. I spot my brother across the way with Baruss. He seems fine. I don’t see Gaul. That worries me. I do see Smough. That eases some of the worry. There’s a half standing wall in between me and my brother. Smough is next to it. 
Pushing myself up, I sway unsteadily on my feet. My balance is butchered due to my ears being impaired. Still I manage an unsteady jog over. “You okay?” I lean heavily on the half wall that is leaning heavily to the side.

My ears are ringing. My head is aching. Why do I sign up for this shit? Baruss asks me something but I can’t hear anything. Good news I spot my sister leaning on a wall. She seems fine, all things considered. I pull my special headset out my jacket pocket and the lens drops down.  I look up to see Lexianna hovering with a stranger in possession of an alarming amount of fire power. There’s the bad news. I can’t hear Scarlett but I can command her, “Enlarge.” The lens adjusts and zooms in. This is worse than I thought. “Who’s the mega babe?” I point at the absolute vision that hovers menacingly above us. I ask this of Baruss even though I’ll probably only hear half of what he says if anything at all. I fiddle with the headset to compensate for my hearing.
