Mistaken Identity

The young Destruction wasn’t one to break the rules. He did what he was told most of the time. Sometimes he liked to wander but today was not that day. Void had been minding his own business, sitting on the beach looking out to places not covered in smoke. He could just see the sun over the horizon when a tremor hit, and a huge wave crashed up on the beach. Void was swept easily into the deep cold blue with not even a peep.

He didn’t do much against the rough surf, there was a reason he’d been carried across by an adult during the eruption. Now he was on his own, and any kicking or paddling he did was done to stay above the surface. He didn’t know where he was going or if he’d even make it to shore. When he thought he was done for he’d finally be thrown on the shore. Not far enough to be out of the water though, and his body would quickly start to shiver.

Void wouldn’t have lasted much longer, but he was suddenly plucked from the ocean and deposited a few paces away. The boy was silent as he stared up at the giant with big blue and lavender eyes. His skin shivering violently beneath his star spangled coat.
