This is the beginning

[A small object suddenly emerges from behind the horizon and blazes through the sky, followed by a comet-like trail. It crashes aboard the White Chalice's deck, revealing itself to be... a pair of humans clad in armor. The armor being Black Cloud and the Great Pretender, to be precise.]

I promised... to return...

1.
[Reactions for witnessing the crash come here. Devon and Laura's armors disappear almost immediately, and they lie down on the deck without strength to even get up. Exhausted, wounded and even somewhat singed they may look... but they are definitely alive and conscious.]

2.

[Some time later, once someone mercifully dragged Devon along to the medical bay - she'll be busy lying in bed and recuperating from the recent hell she went through. Still, the bandaged Shifter is good enough for visits.]

3.

[Same as #2, but for Laura. Just as Devon, she is worn out and injured, but the medical staff predicts she will make a full recovery soon enough. Although she has an eyepatch on.]

4.

[Locked to Cheng, and happening BEFORE prompt #2.

The Shifter still had some unfinished business before she could collapse. Mustering what little remains of her strength, she stumbled in a zombie-like gait to wherever her husband was at the time.

And once she makes it there, she just stands in the doorway. And stares.]

[There seemed to be life coming back to him as he saw her, alive and well. Then it turned to frantic energy when he saw how roughed up she was. To be expected of course considering what they went through.]

DEVON!

[Whether by some fortune or the fact that his last visitor who had opened the door had left it ajar by just a crack, Cheng had pushed the door to his cell aside to rush to his wife's side. He pulls her close part hugging, part supporting her.]

Devon... my wife...

[Oh that hurt. Literally. Though he probably deserved it.]

Devon...

[He wanted to say he wanted to wait for her. He wanted to say that he tried to fight it off... but he honestly knew right now it really wouldn't matter. He held her silently for the first moments. He winces as he gets them moving, slowly struggling to walk both himself and Devon to Medical.]

[Cheng took a deep breath as they wandered the corridors. The minutes felt like days.]

Was that a promise?

and it now leads to Prompt 2

[Cheng eventually manages to get Devon to the infirmary - he's assisted in getting Devon to a bed and she is soon tended to. Cheng was by her side the whole time. Cheng soon nods off and will be there when she awakes.]

[He probably didn't hear her... but somehow he looked more at peace at her words.]

[Together... there was a small smile on his face now. He shifts slightly and lets out a soft breath.]

...

[There was a slight shift and a cough before Cheng looked at her with a rather sheepish look.]

If it's any comfort I only woke up just a short while before you did.

[And so was Cheng. Oh sure he may get smacked again but it was totally worth it.]
