Conflagration

[wallwalker]

Title: Conflagration
Fandom: FFVII (OGC)
Characters: Barret/Tifa, Biggs, Jessie, Wedge
Notes: Set not long before the first reactor.

The kids talk about it.

You don’t. Tifa doesn’t. Neither of you have to talk, because you’ve been hating Shinra long enough that you don’t have to. Maybe you don’t know each other’s reasons, but you get it. You think she does too.

The kids, though... they’re following your lead, like you used to, and they’re excited. They know how hot fire burns. They don’t know how many fires you’ll have to start before this ends. They might run, if they knew.

So you both let them talk. Once they feel the heat... hell, they’re all smart. They’ll learn fast.
