To Call a Swallow

Colin had never really listened to Her before. She had pushed him towards the other, tried to make him play nice with other Winged children, but he had always been pessimistic and they cried when he told stories, so he never tried. He had seen things the others hadn't and after months of prodding to no end, She gave up on him. Colin thought he could escape Gotham City, find a new place to live after the smoke cleared. Dash off in the wake of the chaos She sowed, and it would be the first good thing She had ever done for him.Instead, he's on a fool's mission with two determined older brothers trying to find an emotionally constipated man-child who was hurt by his equally emotionally constipated father. Yet still, at the end of it all, Colin finds he doesn't regret a single damn thing, and maybe, just maybe, he should listen to Her more often.
