"I don't think I've ever seen this many stars," Peter said abruptly.
Matt turned to him. It was the first he'd spoken since they'd left the hospital.
"Seriously. We both spent our lives in the city," Peter said, smiling sallowly. "God, think of the fun Nathan could have had flying around under these stars. We could have crossed the whole sky together... all these powers and we never found a way to enjoy them..."
A tear trickled down his cheek and Matt reached in to brush it away. You'll find it, he said silently. You'll still find a way to have fun with it. You still have life...
Peter fell, sobbing, against his shoulders.
Matt put a protective arm around him, feeling warmth and wetness pooling at the base of his neck. He rested his chin on the top of Peter's trembling head and looked up at the stars.
