I wonder how many little "bedroom" alcoves there are, in that place...
Hmm... Yet another dimension added to their bunch and its affairs... Luke seems to claim otherwise, but I agree. He seems like their leader, if not in title, in role.
And again, I am reminded that he can not only generate and control flames, but extinguish them with his will, as well... Interesting aspect.
Not something a single person can do... Of course he could help, but that also puts his family in danger, both of losing him and potentially starving, and from the dangers harboring a hero pose... Not some easy decision that one should ust make on a whim. He'd have to kill more and more people, in all likelihood, even if he is careful about it... and that can hurt a person worse than a physical blow can.
True. He might be safe with her there, for a time, but this city in particular is a dangerous place. You can be killed without even knowing you've been targeted, much of the time. I worry that Jessa's naivety and her innocence will get them into far more trouble than they bargained for. Being so young, all the things that combat could bring would be so much more effective on her than they might be on someone who hadn't led such a relatively sheltered life. So much could go wrong, even if it goes well for the first little bit. :/
The world is not as simple and kind a place as many people think. Filled with ugliness and pain that can shake someone to their core, if you get too much of a taste of it. As much as I fear for Jessa, though, I know she will live, or if not at the very least come back to life, though I doubt she'd perish, personally. What I feel for more is that little collective of children, and how much sorrow and tribulation they could go through. And yet, I know far too much for my own good. Too insightful, but also with foreknowing.
I suppose I shall move on, however, as it's best not to dwell on such things, and the pain shall have to be dealt with in the time when it comes.
Stubbornness can be good at times, but it can also get you into a heap of trouble, especially when you don't know what you're doing, going in. Putting yourself out into situations of random crime and violence can be... problematic, when you don't have information on the situation. Luke has his training, both tactical and with regards to control of his powers, but Jessa could get them into alot of trouble, even if she saves him on many an occasion. Effectively a gamble...
Oh, not really good or bad, I think. More a tool. Must have mental discipline and understanding of how it works to make it less risky, though. Neither of those does/did she yet have. >.>

-.-
*facedesks repeatedly*
I wonder if she still blames herself for her parents' deaths... Or *you* rather, since I am looking at an autobiography...
*sigh* Well, I knew it would happen anyway... I suppose I shouldn't put too much time into regretting it.
Being their first time, I suppose that has special connotations and dangers. Makes me wonder if they'll get saved by some other hero, after doing something stupid. <.<
Rain.. bad sign... :/
Hmm... I wonder how the public would view them, if they found out that Luke and Jessa steal, as well as doing heroics, even if it's for a good cause (which they could not know about)... The ammount of exposure super heroics can bring could make problems for them just out of notoriety, if not otherwise...
Running towards them... Bad idea, with only fire-based powers... You'd want to keep them at a distance, and be able to pick them off that way, especially with Jessa there. Unless of course he is profiecient enough with hand to hand combat to take out multiple people at once. Then there's the gun, too. >.> Even while maulfunctioning, they make for useful bludgeoning weapons. Very risky, this fight...
Idk why, but I think I'd have liked that as a song choice for the chapter. lol
For some reason, that chapter makes me sad. For one, those guys should've had a much better chance than they did, although I liked how you wrote the fight scene, overall. Secondly, they were all dead. Killing should not be something taken lightly, even if at times it is necessary. You yourself had just recently engaged in a similar thing just such a short time ago. For all we know, they could have families that could have starved because their providers were killed trying to get something extra to help them get by, and not have to go without meals to have enough money to pay for the other things they need in life.
Unfortunately, such choices must be made in life... especially in such a life as one must take on to fight for the safety of this city of ours. I wish that the burden of the lives of another would not have to pass on to someone so young, and unprepared for what might come, though.
I am not innocent. Many a son and daughter I have slain, but yet it still grieves me to see celebrations among such souls as you two, after killing like that.
And now my mind pulls me into the thought that if Jessa had not been there, he would be gone. Dead. Dust in the wind, yet another victim of the rampant violence of this place, and there would've been nothing to do about it. Their fates would be up for grabs, all of his family. Perhaps they'd starve to death. Perhaps some would become victims in yet another such squabble, after a poorly thought out attempt to raid somewhere for food. Perhaps they'd even break up and wanter aimlessly through the city, looking for someone to help out, after they lost their leader, and their family structure fell apart.
Of course, they could still endure, but it wouldn't be the same. If he could die, then what does that say about just how safe the rest of them were? What would that do to the others who had been there the longest? And then, what if only Jessa returned...? *shakes his head grimly*
It was a well writen fight scene, I suppose. It just troubles me, to see them celebrating over taking people's lives like that. :/
